They look very different and they hail from opposite ends of the country.

But Washington native Stefano Langone has something important in common with Florida resident Brett Loewenstern: they are two of the top 24 contestants on this season of American Idol.

We wish each of these singers the best of luck, and we'd also like to train them for the competition to come. Starting Tuesday night, when the top dozen men perform, Loewenstern and Langone will be enemies.

So let's match them up now: which of these hopefuls do you see advancing the farthest on American Idol?

American Idol contestant Brett Loewenstern is done being a victim.

But he isn't done impressing the judges and millions of viewers across the country.

During last night's Hollywood round, the 16-year old admitted he was "shaking in his pants" prior to singing, but he calmed his nerves, belted out a version of "Let It Be" that advanced him further on season 10 and told the camera:

"I would like to say to the people that tried to bring me down: Bully me, backstab me, whatever. No negativity anymore. I'm done with being a victim."
