Emotional Charlie Askew ripped by judges, Nick Boddington solid on 'American Idol'

Poor Askew looks like he's about to cry, just stands there listening to it all and taking it. He tells Ryan Seacrest afterwards, "I needed to vent a little bit." He's very emotional, tells Seacrest he's not happy all the time contrary to what some people believe, that he just feels like he needs to be. Seacrest tells him he's among friends and puts his arm around him; quite an extraordinarily non-staged few minutes. Seacrest was at his best -- just understanding Askew without judging him, while it turns out the judges maybe have no idea what he's really like.
