American Idol: James Durbin - Audition - Led Zeppelin - You shook me, Aerosmith - Dream On - HD

[JadeLexus1996]

Loved him from the very beginning ♥_♥

[sistersbysong]

He's like Adam Lambert the second!

[MrDirtBeard]

idol is a popularity contest. the best voices don't always win. James was the best.

[TheRatedRAssassin]

he was THE BEST last year out of EVERYBODY and hes better then everybody on there this year

[awesometastical188]

I cried myself to sleep when he went home!!! So happy he has an album now #it rocks# TAKE DAT IDOL!!!

[streetboy2k7]

0:29 whoa

[dcaerosmithfan228]

I can't believs this. I am still blown away by this even to this day.

[sportygirlzrule1]

he is truly talented :)

[Baconlover793]

Good,,, But not close to Robert :)

[betsyrenee31]

such a great singer fans made a huge mistake

[dtedmj]

the next adam lambert

[jordontlilly]

he is so good i will never be able to understand why people didn't see that

[broadwaymelody33]

I have Tourette's too. When I was in high school plays and choir, my tics would stop while performing. It's so weird how selective tics are.

Get it, James!

[tokillamockingbirdd]

copycat

[Octavice]

@tokillamockingbirdd and you my friend are a copy cunt.

[Raffle536]

Gilles de la Tourette syndrom

[Thaiiable]

wat is his medical condistion??

[joaopedro12]

i just wanted to check for so long, the higher note is an High G fuckin high G. It's almost impossible to sing besides trainning. This is out of this world, sensibility. Scotty has the deep bass, and this one just makes history for me

[1999fangirl]

I love you, James!!

[EricChrisman]

This is why I don't watch American Idol...This dude is 1,000,000,000 times better than Scotty...and yet he got voted off and Scotty wins?...Give me a BREAK!

[GenX6887]

When I first saw this I was like "OMG an aspie just like me is singing like Adam Lambert!"

[Liscome]

His g/f is hot

[sexyazula]

Steven's feeling it baby!!

[sexyazula]

I remember when I saw the audition, I was like;

'He. Has. Talent!!!!" xD

Gotta love James Durbin!!! <3

[ViciousAlienKlown]

This guy should've won, what happen, America?...we don't need another Taylor Swift...more Rock~N~Roll, you idiots!

[avirah1]

top 3 should've been him, pia, and haley... lauren and scotty are horrible compared to him.

[alex2410]

I got goosebumps...

[peirce955]

wtf how come nobody told me there was a guy on american idol that listens to good music?

[robscherer123]

Lmao @ Jennifer Lopez at the beginning.  She looks like a statue.

[katzkrew90210]

he should've been in the finals with scotty, not lauren

[comicozy87]

He can scream like Halford

[BertoKing]

@comicozy87 No one can do.

[Dhidalgo55]

This guy is really good but he is such a pussy I gosh I just want to punch him in his stupid face

[DoomsdayKillz]

@Dhidalgo55 hes probably fuck you up

[666Vlada666]

ooo i love James he is great singer .... but Robert Plant...he is not for singing if is't clone ...

[Dprang1]

his new album is being released later in November..... 

I am hoping the best for James' success

[katelyngrl]

he shouldve won he was my fav boy scotty suckez he did not deserve to win people just voted him cuz he was cute not for the talent ^.^ james shouldve won my full vote was on him

[pwnmouth]

How the hell did Scotty win and not this kid?????

[shredderdude13]

@pwnmouth Because for some strange reason, American teenage girls went from liking Girly voiced pansy's, to country music...

[blahtered23]

cool 

[liliXD99]

james es el hijo perdido de steven tyler XD

[stupidzhangjiayi]

I wonder what Simon would have said if he listened to James.. I doubt it ll be anything positive..

People are crazy about this Chris guy from X Factor, but Honestly, that guy can't even be compared to James...Two completely different levels.

[yamnt2007]

damnn!  he's good! performance from the heart!

[easye1973]

@yamnt2007 you are so right, you nailed it from the heart......

[emperorsenshi]

even his excitement is a metal scream

[NoTimeForBullCrap]

Thumbs up if you get chills when you hear the screaming at 2:41-2:44!!!!!

[Averagekiddd]

1:23 to 1:24 Steven Tyler's face was like saying, "No more? Damn...I wanted him to hit the high note!!!!!! D:<"

[maxelca]

And to think there are still people who won't admit how good James Durbin is. Amazing.

[MattRuaneBlog]

@maxelca Saw him on Idol from here in the UK. Felt that he was the perfect example of what a true Idol should be. :)

[maxelca]

@MattRuaneBlog Couldn't agree more! 

[MattRuaneBlog]

@maxelca I know just terrible, give Metal a chance people. It's something the world atleast needs to analyse before deciding whether or not they like it.

[predador21]

His tone is completely different from Adam's tone. People never heard a male singer singing high? What a lack of musical knowledge!!

[ConnorTrev]

PEOPLE stop comparing him to adam lambert

hes better than lambert he sings heavy metal

he has a way better range so just stop comparing them!

[tokillamockingbirdd]

@ConnorTrev comic

[kbenson02]

HE SHOULD HAVE MADE IT I THOUGHT HE WAS SO AWESOME

[camafrog]

Is it just me or he sounds like Adam Lambert when you're not looking at the video. Heck. He was Adam Lambert of season 10 :D

[hbksharpshooter]

I don't know what is more impressive, Tyler giving him the approval or the kid had the balls to ask him! damn

[alepibaa]

I love how Steven Tyler closes his eyes to feel the songs.

[Axunia]

i luv u

[Glamrma]

He rocked the house in OKC American Idol Tour tonight. Go James!

[mikalynn111]

i love steven tyler!!

[GabrielHackbarth]

Por que o Idolos não tem cantores bons como o American Idol?!

Why the Brasilian Idol doesn't have good singers like American Idol?!

[GabrielHackbarth]

Por que o Idolos não tem cantores bons como o American Idol?!

Why the Brasilian Idol doesn't have good singers like American one?!

[XDownByTheSeaSideX]

I don't like this show but DAMN!!! He was GOOD!

[pinkbubblegum312]

he was my favorite ever since i watched this audition. he shouldnt have gotten eliminated.

[WesleyToddynho]

Brazil sing with You \O.

u are the best

[LittleJudasLamb]

I was really hoping to see him perform Dream On with Steven in the finale

[iliketolongboard1234]

@LittleJudasLamb same here

[twistedviewlabs]

this guy is going to be a rock god.

btw, You Shook Me is actually a Muddy Waters song made popular by Led Zeppelin.

[SkaterGrrl123]

One deep voice = Scotty McCreery

One high voice = James Durbin :D

[BtotheS10]

@SkaterGrrl123 One good voice Haley Reinhart :)

[SkaterGrrl123]

@BtotheS10 Hahah:D I know rite, i can't believe she got eliminated...

[jcfreako]

Cant believe this guy left...So not right..

[MarceloAvero]

@jcfreako I don't follow AI (I'm southamerican), but... you said he didn't win??!! wow! Can't believe there was someone "better" than him.

[sligen]

@MarceloAvero There wasn't but how the voting system works anyone can vote as many times as they want, AI is nothing more then a popularity contest. Since, Scotty was young and a country singer, teen girls voted for him and also Country has a huge fan base in America. James will sell big regardless, he probably will be bigger then Scotty, who actually won AI10.

[LibertyOrDeathCanada]

@jcfreako and on top of all the popularity he's gained.. his record sales aren't that good.. yet McCreary has crazy sales.. go figure.

[OtanaAhana]

I just love James I hope he wins it all!!! He's got the feeling!

[abcman7913]

@xxFLIPPIFERxx Led Zeppelin did it too.

[Masterlink981]

I wonder if he does the full Dream On for the finals....

[nunnuhalo3]

Better than Tyler.

[mexipino032]

i like how he does tha catdaddy to finish up aerosmiths song!!!!....L0L

[oORoxasFanOo]

James is so freaking amazing~ And he's such a cutie, haha :3

[sueellen360]

If Steven Tyler likes it doing Dream On then the kid is good

[PunkRockGirl326]

@sueellen360 don't call James "it". Jus sayin.

[sueellen360]

@PunkRockGirl326 oops, sorry, my bad xD

[GRUMPYDRINKER]

Never seen so much raw talent in someone, this guy can really sing!!!

[ThePlanbfan11]

i love this dude he should sing you give love a bad name by bon jovi and dream on aerosmith on his next round YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA­AAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[bastroping]

Oh I'd love to hear James sing some more Aerosmith! "Seasons of Wither" would be cool. Thanks for auditioning...thanks to his wife for the encouragement!
