@Juliannenicole124 e___o

[Juliannenicole124]

@xxCutiBootyxx wht?



[fallontk]

You're the best person on American Idol ever <3

[mccallister42701]

I love James Durbin!!!!He is SO CUTE!!!He sounds really good in this song,i cant believe he didnt win american idol, he was obviously the best 1 there!!!!

[KaloFarrowan]

@KingofDrums19 Though technically it's better he didn't win; the winners get a really tight contract and not a lot of creative freedom. Mostly because they represent the show as the winner. So now he has been noticed and got his own recording contract and can produce awesome music much like how Adam Lambert and be as popular as the other second place winners. :) Second place is actually preferable on the show as far as creative freedom.

[ArmageddonisUnleashe]

Album comes out on Monday. I so want it...

[headinclouds50]

WOW.... the top comments are harsh and i love the way James Durbin sang this.... he should of won because he needs it for his family, did anybody see what he said once he got into american idol?

[DoomsdayKillz]

[XXESPIN0XX]

[XXESPIN0XX]

[2282steven]

James is a true rocker, his studio is not nearly as great as his live performances. Which is not a bad thing!

[glukoaggelaki]

there was a moment tht i seriously ws confused about if tht ws james or if it was muse :o

[bieberbaby990]

He gave me chills when i saw him and he went really high when he performed this live...<3JamesDurbin

[warlockalice1331]

[junkfoodie1]

have you ever had this:

listen to the greatest song EVER.

find someone that you think has decent talent, and stumble across the song with him singing and be all "OMG"

then listen to it and go" omg......"

i just heard the first song ever being murdered.

[VideoGameGirlExpert]

SORRY SCOTTY BUT YOUR MUSIC STIIIINKS!!!!!! IM A JAMES DURBAN FAN!!!! JAMES ALL THE WAAAAAY!!!!!!!

Plus we're kinda similar.

1. We are great singers.

2. We're both autistic.... Yeah... :)

[YesIamDJFlash]

I Love James he is an amazing singer and i will buy everything he outs out there

[KaciiKawaii]

I LOVE JAMES

[EllyAnneFernandez]

GIVE METAL A CHANCE AMERICA DONT FORGET THAT PLEASE

[lizzythurlow1010]

This should have him sing high at the end... It just doesn't sound right at all.....

[teddybear4422]

james is the best!!!!

[B1ueTigerNinja]

This is not James he has less music and sings really high at the end

[nhdrummer34]

@B1ueTigerNinja he is singing high at the end..listen closely, they just blended it with his lower register :)

[Carol2001123]

we miss u James come back!!! try again. Plzzzzzzz

[Carol2001123]

i love Jamesssssssssss. we miss u james!!!!!!!!!!

[faremonkeylover]

Wow. There is a LOT of autotuning on this. It's not even subtle.

[ttcctn94]

I swear, when I know the results from my friend (I was at school then), I jumped up and down, made some screechy sounds, non-stop (Thank god we were on a break). The others just stared at me, probably thinking I was crazy. But when I told the results, they all looked at me wide-eyed, asking over and over again "What? James' out??? I will never watch this show again, ever!!!" What is wrong with you, America??? I wish I was American, so that I could vote, but noooooooo! I can't!

[rov1899]

@shiningwolf10

I cried too

Like for hours then the next day at school I almost started bawling in language arts!!!!!

I'm so mad. Even though I know he'll go far I'm still so angry at America for their decision

Why'd he have to go!!!!!????? :(

[TheAshtonShow1]

he was soo good im sad he got voted off

-3

[tmard69]

Hahahahah he just got out

[ShiningWolf10]

@tmard69 HAHA? HAHA he just got out?! What are you, some asshole? James was an amazing singer, and doing Idol for his wife and CHILD. They needed some MONEY. His dream is still going continue, since he's going to get a record deal anyway, and be more popular than whoever wins, but that doesn't mean you LAUGH in his face. I CRIED when he got voted off. HE was crying. Jennifer Lopez was CRYING. You are a compassionless asshole.

[ScarletPirate1]

@ShiningWolf10 Exactly!!!! I mean, I thought it was so ironic that Ryan said that Daughtry fell off at this stage too since he has become so much more popular and successful than whoever won that season (I looked up who was the winner=Taylor Hicks. WHO?). He WILL be just as popular as Daughtry AT LEAST!!!!!!!!

[MrButterBrownies]

@ShiningWolf10 DAMN STRAIGHT! JAMES DOESNT DESERVE TO BE KICKED OFF!!!!

[epic0winner0loz]

@tmard69 He was the best, you tool. There is no HAHA about talent being unappreciated.

[iBolt07]

Two words: Bruce Dickinson!

[koopaqueenFILMS]

he is so cute!!!

[cstairs]

How are there 10 dislikes? He is a way better singer than the lead singer of Muse!

[epic0winner0loz]

I love James! <3

[SugarNeko]

Please marry me James. You are amazing.

[LytningHandzXXL]

@SugarNeko he has a fiance..and a son.. -__-

[SugarNeko]

@LytningHandzXXL I know :) rhetorically.

[LytningHandzXXL]

@SugarNeko ^_^

[chengoo]

10 fat cats died of heart attack...

[samantha0605]

i only listen to this awful song because james sings it beautifully <3

[xWeGotBiscuits]

okay. james durbin. adam lambert. different people, has no one else seen this? james keeps saying that he wants people to see him as an individual. both he and adam are very different artists, and if anyone was a fan of either of them, they'd no this. apologies, but i just feel like this is james' song, and so people should be talking about james. much love to james <3

[wernotdateletubbies]

@xWeGotBiscuits I Luv James Durbin Too. Im A True Fan Of Him. I Luv His Music And Him! Im Like The Only Person At My School That Likes Metal. I Dont Look Like I Would Like Tht But I Luv It! ROCK ON JAMESSSS!!!!!!!

~ Sydney B.

[MsMrm27]

@TheKenizieRawr plus adam lambert is creepy and gay....james is two million times better than him

[Drewcifer6789]

@MsMrm27 who gives a shit if Adam Lambert is gay?! Get with the times homophobe

[MsMrm27]

@Thegooner3110 Plus he can sing anything.... look at all the different songs he's sang in the past weeks from the top 13....pretty amazing

[TheKenzieRawr]

am i the only one that thinks he sounds just like adam lambert?!?!?!

[AmiSkemi]

@TheKenzieRawr I think he can sing higher than lambert

[Drewcifer6789]

@TheKenzieRawr I've said that too, but he can do things that Adam can't do

[kennethoo]

James isn't original, you can see the same thing at many karaoke bars around and he doesn't even sing he screams OVER-RATED

[14JohnnyRed14]

@kennethoo You are obviously ignorant,he wasn't screaming on the intro or half the song. Have you heard his version of My Guitar Gently Weeps? No screaming there,Maybe I'm Amazed again no screaming there either. Grow the fuck up and quit trolling. James is damn good and is very original you are a dumb ass. I wouldn't mind going to the "Karaoke" bar you've been to. LMFAO! Idiot...

[kennethoo]

@14JohnnyRed14 are you angry little girl?

[Thompson6ful]

Love James, they need to just stop idol now and name him the winner

[Haydi1]

why did they changed the version?!?///// the LIVE one wass muchhhhh better!!!

[Cema23]

yeah!!! james rock!!  :-) cool brows

[tangomango777]

James is amazing.

[krowzy10]

i was going to buy this version on itunes but since the studio version dusnt have the high octave...i dont think i'll buy it now, his performance was insane but this lacks to the performance

[koga711]

I agree that I liked his live performance better, but this version is still pretty good :3

[kappy0405]

James definitely didn't need autotune. In fact, the live version was far, far, far, superior to this (well at least the chorus was)

Idol' studio performances seem to be sucking out the originality and artistry that the contestants have during the live shows.

Ridiculous. The high octave chorus was possibly the best moment of idol thus far, and they don't include it in the studio version. Utterly stupid.

[ThyHenrique]

@kappy0405 you're absolutely right. i'm hating how the studio performances are always getting worst than the live ones.

[BakardeeWestOfficial]

his high chorus is in another layer in the background at the end its not the main vocal

[jazmynsmile]

This sounds pretty sexy.

[Quarkburger]

Is this James? It's a little different from Muse's Uprising video, but still... it really sounds like Muse. And what happened to the high octave chorus at the end?

[pinkribbonchic]

@Quarkburger Yes, it is James. It is his itune studio recording not his live version so it differs from his performance.

[ScarletPirate1]

@Quarkburger It is there, but not in the foreground. Listen closely: 3:30-3:50. You hear it? I think they did it that way so that no one would complain about it being so "in your face screech", but I love it so I looked for it in the studio version.

[Quarkburger]

@ScarletPirate1 I have no complaint about his high octave singing in the end. It gives me chills and it sounds great. What I was saying is that his voice doesn't sound the same. It sounds like the leade singer on Muse, but I guess I stand corrected.

[ScarletPirate1]

@Quarkburger Just to clarify, I meant no offense. :) Sorry if I sounded like I was upset. But yes, I agree the majority of the song sounds exactly like the original. Except, of course, for the part I mentioned. :)

[TheBeatlesToday]

@Quarkburger Listen from 3:44 to 3:51 ...

[nhdrummer34]

@Quarkburger it is still there if you listen closely, they just blended it with his lower vocals:)

[kyotreyes]

rock on james

[cookielover734]

What is the point of going on a show to get recognised for your vocal TALENT, then using crap loads of autotune?

[RennRnan]

@BreakPics what's your point by saying muse sucks ? go get your fucking life.

[sordidfate]

This is my favorite of all Durbin's rendition by far.

[EpicShinyLapras]

It's not as bad as I expected, he probably didn't need it autotuned.

[hcs4life21]

Can we all stop with the hate and homophobia and just appreciate the song for once? Most, if not all, of us are adults here. Grow up!

[Txurniul]

He has tourettes and asperger's, his dad died when he was 9 years old, give the guy some sympathy. He has a good fan base and there's no need to hate on a very talented person like him.

[Link73891]

For some reason, I absolutely HATED this when I saw it during the show (maybe it's because I'm a die-hard Muse fan), but now I like this a LOT!

[marjurryman]

His last 2 performances, this one and Heavy Metal is my top 2 favorite moments of the season. He should win, I don't think anyone else deserves to win the show more than this guy!

[Strangerface1]

autotune generation

[HOTJIMI4EVER]

OMG HE ROCKS THIS SONG LAT NIGHT WHOOO GO JAMES !

[BakardeeWestOfficial]

@GlenMuse795 Man, are you fuckin stupid or what? i dont like American Idol at all but this guy... KILLED this song ESPECIALLY when he performed it . The lead singer of Muse HIMSELF recognized it. Your taste in music sucks quite clearly and that's ok . Except for when u try to put people down and talk like you know something when you actually know nothing. Know what i mean? This guy's gunna take right off and its gunna be in your face. Whats this fag talk btw? Dudes got charisma man.Your hatin..

[manicmuse1]

coming from a life long muse nutter, i'd just like to say... that was very good indeed. it's not a great cover because when you cover a song well you must add something new or make it more "your own" but still pay respect to the original track! this was just a very good carbon copy. imo

[Nitsus]

Shit this is badly autotuned. Makes me feel sick :|

[archer57]

wow james i love you - look forward to you every week. can canadans vote....

[Thegooner3110]

Anyone that disagrees with James' quality is an idiot, he's hands down the most original, powerful and exciting vocalist idol has seen in a long time.

[twolatinas80033]

@Thegooner3110 I agree with you some people are just jealous James Durbin is very talented.

[kappy0405]

@Thegooner3110 - the most original, powerful, and exciting vocalist idol has seen..... since.... Adam... basically his vocal twin.

Adam and James really need to do a duet at the finale show.

[AnsemFinal]

@kappy0405 This. Just... Just this.

[therealjoshuashow]

i've watched many, many seasons of American Idol and have listened to hundreds of singles/recordings and I can honestly say this performance is hands down easily the best recording done by an american idol contestant

[PrincessKagayaki]

This is what it would sound like if Klaus Meine and Axl Rose combined sang this...Sad this is one of Muse's weakest songs. I'd have liked Knights of Cydonia better on him plus it's a more badass song.

[cmarley13]

He din't change anything about this song except for takin the chorus up an octave or 2 one time. He's so fake it makes me sick...

[BroudbrunMusicMerge]

@cmarley13 How the hell does that make him fake?

[Ninjalilly]

Love this! James did Muse proud! I will have both versions on my iPod.

[mideeone]

His version is so amazing that it finally got me to post! GO, JAMES!

[mkramer5]

LOVE IT!

[suzyq825]

Never heard this song before, but James just made it one of my favorites!!

[Rosered567Fantage]

How Many Times can we Like a Video?

[Rosered567Fantage]

He Must Win!!!!! The First Muse Song on Idol and He Performed it Like that. . . Muse Should Be Proud I<3Matt Bellamy & James Durbin!

[tonks1988]

@Rosered567Fantage proud of what. Of their song being butchered?

[Rosered567Fantage]

@tonks1988 If You don't Like it then Don't Listen to It You Know a lot of People Liked How He sang it and Yes It was Different then The real Version but It was a Good Cover of the Song

[tonks1988]

Yeah, Good in the 10th dimension.

[Rosered567Fantage]

@tonks1988 The What? I don't Speak Video Gamer. . .

[tonks1988]

@Rosered567Fantage Video Gamer? Go to school.

[ahunsaker172]

@Rosered567Fantage Adam Lambert was the first to sing Muse on idol when he did Feeling Good, James wasn't first

[Rosered567Fantage]

@ahunsaker172 Muse didn't write Feeling good they did a Cover of it. . . O.0

[Sepia1989]

@ahunsaker172 lol Adam's fans sure have a good knowledge of music.

[FarhanHusain]

AMAZING
