The 'American Idol' Judges Are Developing Some Disturbing Habits

The new era of American Idol started off on rocky footing but it's since progressed into something much more enjoyable. The judges have proven to have a real ear for identifying talent, as the Top 24 is a collection of very special (and very young) artists. However, there's a big difference between recognizing talent and being able to nurture it.
