American Idol judges Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban simply weren't seeing eye to eye during Wednesday night's broadcast on Fox.

Wednesday night's Top 10 performance show featured the finalists taking on the top of the charts by singing a Top 10 hit from 2011 to today. While none of the finalists received a standing ovation or truly wowed the crowd last night, Harry and Keith often disagreed on whether some of the more mediocre performances were either good or poor.
The pair of judges disagreed over and gave opposing criticism or praise to Dexter Roberts, Caleb Johnson, C.J. Harris, Jessica Meuse, and Majesty Rose.
Harry most often disliked the performances while Keith enjoyed them. Their views on arrangements, song choice and onstage presence often differed. Judge Jennifer Lopez tended to be supportive of most of the finalists, swaying more towards Keith's side of the critiques.
"Keith and Harry, how would you say you two got along tonight?" Idol host Ryan Seacrest asked the pair at the end of the show.

"Awesome," Harry replied with a smile.
"I love Keith and I love Jen because the great thing, I think, is that we all have completely different perspectives, which are all valid. And I learn and listen to them every week, and I think these contestants are so lucky to have different [opinions]."
