I wish james won but I think this makes him more legandary, (And the fact that he was out in same place of Chris Daughtry:3) and I say he has been the fartest hard rock heavy metal person to ever go in idol, he ROCKS, JAMES YOU ARE AWESOME AND SHOULD HAVE WON, i cryed when he was voted off

Congrats James. The board comes with lessons from Wingnut,a leash, 2 Custom Wetsuits for you and your son from Hotline Wetsuits. Artist Kevin Walsh did an amazing job painting your board. May you have hours of joy!

I LOVE YOU JAMES!! ur our American Idol to EVERYBODY!!!

[flipundy]

I LOVE JAMES DURBIN!! He should have won but I think its better he didn't at this point. He's now one of the most talked about American Idol contestants ever. Big Big things are coming his way. God bless James and his family. I'd LOVE to meet this guy with my daughter. She's crazy about him:D

@tipangawal11 Was this a dig? or a bump? If you really are taking a dig you need to realize, This guy has overcome adversity, physical & emotional challenges, and over all, has done some amazing things for people with the physical issues he has. I'm proud of him. and i know like... 100% of the people who voted for him are too. Team James. Its not about winning, Its about being the best. The best don't always win at first (IE Abe Lincoln, Henry Ford, OPRAH). His journey has Just begun!

People seem to forget that the show is the "Idol." The winner is determined by popularity and not talent. The 3 remaining are all popular and have talent, so they are all winners. Even James.

Side note, video would have better if they didn't have the mic by the women down front screaming!

[malinda6437]

think of it like this people... we all know james is awesome should have won but how man winners of idol are still a big deal. i am glad james did not win. was sad @ 1st. now he can go on to doing something sooner than the winner will. he will be the next big thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cncn19]

He should of won

[Nefertitidancer]

Yay! Yay! Yay! I am so glad they had James Durbin day! I do not know if that has happened before to someone not in the top 3, he should have been #1! I am reading that many people had trouble voting, myself included. Something is not right with that. Many of us are not watching Idol, no point, the winner has left the building! You Rock James!!!

[BroncoFanGirl724]

LOVE YOU JAMES!! You're too good for American Idol.

AWESOME,AWESOME, VIDEO. THANK YOU FROM A TEXAS GIRL !!! I love James Durbin. HE WAS ROBBED BIG TIME !!! I will never believe he got the least number of votes NEVER, NEVER,NEVER !!!!

[BLYNCgroup]

So I read some stuff about Scotty's homecoming today, and James still got the best deal! James, you made all of us here in Santa Cruz SOOO proud of you. I can guarentee that every person in that crowed voted for you and were cheering for you and we were beyond excited to give you the heroes welcome home celebration that you deserve! And by the way, I can't surf either so you're not the only one in Santa Cruz. :P

[hmissgator1]

So happy for him!

[ghettosondra]

JAMES YOU ARE MY IDOL BABY!! YOU ROCK!!

YOU MADE THIS COUNTRY GIRL LOVE METAL

[silvertink88]

[desdanny1]

I was the 3rd person to watch this - 2 hours ago!! now @177 AWESOME!!

KEEP Spreading the WORD DURBS!!

[itsKAREBEAR]

"There goes my make up.."

"One thing I was gonna need is a teacher.. I think I'm about the only one in Santa Cruz that doesn't surf.. I just sing good!"

I <3 James! Wish I could have been there! Looks like it was an amazing day! :D

[Tinkerbelle4mj]

This young man has a huge talent that he was born to do. We 'across the pond' just love him!! America got it wrong when they voted him off Idol. However, I think he doesn't need Idol...he is truly a talented and gifted performer. Rare in these times. The country of Hungary wants more of James' music!!!!

[pnollen]

This has got to be the best homecoming I've ever seen. James is the best singer/performer Idol has ever encountered. Good luck on all of your ventures, my friend.

[crowncamera]

I love him...he is such a genuine young man and super talented. Rock on James!
