@stargazerlilys It sounds like you have poo in your ears. He was the only real contestant in this season. Not some false popsinger without any meanings of his own like many of the others. Go clean your ears please.
James had Idol wrapped up from the beginning. It was the Fox network that dissed him from the Pepsi comment during one of his performances (Coke is the sponsor which Ryan made a point to correct him). How many times has this show truly had the BEST singer/performer win the entire thing - maybe once or twice. He has been discovered and he will be untouchable!
@windrivermarketing LOL you're fucking delusional. James was a good performer, but there were so many who were better than him vocally. Besides, the voters are southern moms and 14 year old girls, so of course Scotty and Lauren beat him.
And in the end, Haley was by far the best when considering vocal ability, uniqueness, star power, versatility, and actual on stage performance.
I feel so bad, angry and disappointed that the real star James Durbin was voted off!!! He has a great voice with super show, he has a soul and heart! Why did Jennifer Lopez cry? She understood what we just lost...but we will hear about James soon! I hope and I believe he will come a famous singer! WE LOVE YOU JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he should have one, he brought an amazing performance every week, he never had a bad week. he could sing any genre of music! i really hope he gets a record deal, id listen to his music all the time!!!
Pure unadulterated raw talent brewing up from his soul. Brings shivers when he sings. Forget about American Idol. This kid has outgrown American Idol. There's no stopping him now. Probably better off not winning. He'll be less confined by contracts, regulations, restrictions. He'll wind up with a better contract better suited to him. You can't keep this kind of talent hidden. Thank you, James, for sharing it with us.
Uh......Not to stray from the subject of the awesome singing I have just experienced....But did anyone else hear someone say "autism" at the beginning?
@ThyPunkRockKitty He was probably mentioning the fact that he has Asperger's Syndrome, which is a form of high-functioning autism. My son has Asperger's, and he just graduated from college five days ago. James (as well as my son) is living proof that you don't have to be defined by your "disabilities", that you can transcend them and go on to great heights of achievement!!!
James Durbin has been my favorite since he auditoined. I voted for him so many times! This guy moves me so much! Hes talent and passion for singing is beyond belief!! KEEP ROCKING JAMES DURBIN!!
@brilliantWISEgenius You're a fucking idiot -_- do you believe EVERYTHING you see/read in the media? Well go follow your herd of sheep that will believe anything they're told.
they missed a an early Elvis Presley like sexy beast . Got a voice loves singing and performing .you know people will listen and love it. Mistake D-U-M-B idol show.
James - don't you dare give up on your dreams. you are the best and we all know it. You WILL be succesful, and you WILL be famous!! YOU ARE AMAZING!! keep on rockin' James!! <3 <3
his full of himself and that screaming is very annoying.. cocky people never get anywhere... now i hope Scotty is next.. his song " Where were you the world stop turning" was a evil calculated move to get votes, hoping to use 911 and bin laden to get votes... thats just twisted
@dpfan74 You don't know what full of oneself even is, and you've obviously never heard of classic heavy metal and 80s rock...the vocalists back then did PLENTY of high notes/screams like James does. James is awesome, period.
James & Pia who had the best voices on AI should have been on the finale. AI turned into a Nashville star type of show keeping Lauren & Scotty who in my opinion are no where close to James in talent. James we will miss you and sure hope you get signed b/c u are worth it. Hope to see u soon.
You are absolutely awesome James - we cried when you were eliminated from American Idol - just like Jennifer Lopez - as she can - we can recognise amazing talent - keep hold of your dreams and keep going - I believe the world is your oyster now and we will definitely be buying your first release! God Bless you!
James, You did what you needed to do on American Idol. You introduced yourself to America and the World....See you on the BIG Stage...I'll be in the front row!!!! You are awesome!!!! Kiss that ol show farewell, thank them for the free advertisement and Kick ass!!!!
Hi. I'm portuguese, and I wonder how in the hell was this guy eliminated? It's the best voice ever on the show. I only saw the show to hear this kid sing, and man, I tell you, he's one of the best voices I've ever heard.

He is amazing! i was so upset to see him voted off, he is by far the most tallented on that was in the bottom 4!! he already is the winner in my eyes! my girls loved him we voted like crazy for him, and it was so nice to watch him on Jay Lenno lastnight (friday the 13).. he is just an amazing singer and he needs to be on the radio now so we can enjoy his voice there is no one out like him!!
HIS VOICE IS SO GREAT! THE PEOPLE OF AMERICAN IDOL SHOULD DO SOMETHING WITH THE WAY PEOPLE VOTE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT FAIR! AMERICAN IDOL PRODUCER SHOULD CHANGE THE SYSTEM OF VOTING AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SO PEOPLE LIKE THIS YOUNG MAN AND OTHER GOOD CONTESTANTS DON'T LOOSE THE COMPETITION. THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!!!! I AM SOOOOO MAAAADDDD!!!!
James, You won the whole thing in my book!!! The final two should have been you and Pia, and you should have prevailed. The current remaining three just don't compare!!!! American Idol should do something different in terms of judging next year. Meanwhile, I'm sure you have a terrific career in front of you. Good luck, and can't wait for you first album!
I was really PISSED OFF last night and I am still pissed off he was voted off . BUT , I can say I know we will hear from him . He'll get signed on by someone . Maybe Steven Tyler ! Good Job and Good Luck J.D. Much love , your fan in Columbus Ohio ~ Lisa.
Finally, the overrated James Durbin is out. Did you noticed the bitchy smile of Lauren? If Americans are smart that fattie bitch will go home next week.
James' fans," James' Concert is ON for Saturday in Santa Cruz". He still will be performing in Santa Cuz this week, Fox's "American Idol" has made an exception to the rule. Just google "James Durbin Concert is ON for Saturday in Santa Cruz"
James, you inspired us. Thanks. Best of luck to you and your adorable family. You've really accomplished a lot and have a lot ahead of you. I hope Americans learned from you, saw your strength as both an artist and person. Those of us who struggle will keep you in mind when we think our difficulties are a challenge. I"m sure people don't have any idea what it took for you to allow that gift you have to blossom. Never let people stand in your way... in peace, Dori
Not the best voice, but a great entertainer. Made for performing and the stage. He can sing, and if he goes into the hard rock arena you don't need a great voice anyway. But he was great fun to watch and he performed the shit out if it every weak. It is disappointing he got voted off. Should have been Haley

VOTE HALEY whether u like her or not!!! It's a WAR, country!!! Yee-ha!
@jjwalkerggt I agree. James n Pia should have been in finales, fair fight. Now it;s between the Country. We gotta unite forces to vote the country off. GO HALEY, Durbinators! Kick damn country to the curb!!!
seriously he is what is wrong with this show, people if you think he is good or has a good voice you must not be musically because it sucks, and of all contestants his voice runs sharp as can be. fact
James is an unbelievable talent and was robbed. I wonder who did he piss off amongst the big brass anyway? The remaining three should hang their heads in shame because they are not anywhere close to being in his league. This one was stolen right out from under you James! Ahhhhhhhh but you are in good company, Adam Lambert was robbed too!
Well, I never liked American Idol, and I just found out they voted James Durbin off just cuz he sang rock and metal. Fuck those faggity ass pussy shit likin bitch fukin cuntbag country singers. You think the Navy Seals that killed Osama listened to country to get them stoked before that mission? HELL FUCKING NO. They were prolly blasting "Seek and Destroy" till their ears were bleeding. America is about going balls deep, and thats what this guy did. Damn shame he got voted off.
Change your Face Book profile pic to Jame Durbin's pic and leave it up for one week - tell your friends to do the same so that we can show American Idol that the voting does NOT stop when the lines close and that the MOST TALENTED should win - steven tyler said apathy is a crime - do not stand by and let this happen - take action and tell your friends to do the same
he was the only reason i watched this stupid show. but i like to think of it in this way...the people who win american idol sometimes arent as sucessful as the amazingly god gifted singers are like James Durbin. This isnt the end for him. ill always be his fan:) btw Maybe Im Amazed is the best:P
James, you will continue to go far, keep singing your heart out! My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's almost a year ago. You have truly inspired her and to not feel ashamed. She actually started crying when you were voted off. (She does not display a lot of sorrow or empathy for others). Right before bedtime, she said, "James is like my Autism cousin". Then mommy cried! God bless you and all the advertises that you have endured!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!! Joy in Austin, TX

James goes home & those 2 girls are still there???????? American Idol just lost the best singer they have ver had on that show....ROCK ON JAMES DURBIN!!!
I was from the start Haley's fan but when I saw Durbin eliminated, I started crying like crazy! He should have been in the top 2, not Scotty or Lauren. People are just stupid.
(PLEASE READ) Anyone and EVERYONE who was voting for James SHOULD now put full force into voting for Hailey. SHE is now the only outstandingly AMAZING artist still left in this competition! What has this show come to when it's down to Lauren and .....Who, "Scotty" wow... Seriously. If you know what true talent and singing is, voting for anyone other than Hailey now should be out of the question. Band together damnit!!!
@rh83cp WE NEED TO DO JUSTICE PEOPLE! AT&T HAD PROBLEMS THAT NIGHT! NOT TO MENTION THE CONFUSING NUMBERS! PLEASE WATCH AND SPREAD MY VIDEO! WE NEEEEEE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT PEOPLE! WE NEED JUSTICE! JAMES SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT!
James - what an amazing gift you have been given to share with the world. There is no doubt that your future is going to be phenomenal!!! You are an amazing inspiration for all those with tourettes & those aspy's out there - both of my nephews have it. Keep true to yourself and your beliefs. You've won a family of fans here in Mississippi.
MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR JAMES. HE MUST WIN AMERICAN IDOL CUZ HE'S AMAZING DUHH. I CANNOT VOTE COZ I DO NOT LIVE IN THE US! VOTE AS MANY TIMES AS U CAN. HALEY IS FIRING UP..(but still nothing special) so yeah VOTE!!!!!!! HE WILL RULE AI AND THE WORLD!
James, I love hearing you sing, and can't wait to buy your first release! You are amazing and gifted! thank you for bringing awareness to Aspergers and Tourettes! My granddaughter who is 10 was just dx'd with Aspergers and she also suffers from Tourettes and is Bipolar! Thank you for showing the world that you can overcome any obstacles if you follow your dream and believe!
@Harleymum2 I have Tourette's too and James is a great inspiration! He brings a good sense of awareness. I sometimes control my TS by my emotions as well. He has a really good voice.
@controledinsanity Adam is seven years older, and has been professionally trained. James is just raw talent. I would love it if James had some vocal coaching before he put out an album, because I agree he can be rough in some areas. That being said-he has great talent, and amazing stage presence. Also-to get up and perform with Tourettes and Aspergers is impressive. I do NOT vote for James because of his disabilities-but I do give him props that he is perfoming through all those obstacles.
@controledinsanity Thank you. I hope I made it clear that I DO vote for James-I vote for his talent, not because of his disabilities. And it's offenSe.
he has come so far and made so much improvement, and while the high notes may be his trademark, there is really a whole other level to his voice which is the reason i love him so much!
i cringe every time, he just plays for his high notes instead of just singing and then going high when you need too, just sounds awful and makes me cringe.
~Please VOTE for JAMES DURBIN! He deserves to win in the finale! Such an amazing singer, performer, musician and is a joy to this world. Gawd I love this man :)
I have to admit during the auditions and hollywood week he was pretty terrible, because he always used his high pitched singing. Now he has matured to the point where he's one of the best on the show, and now he's my favorite :)
James Durbin is just soooo good - please be sure to continue to support him with your Votes - he gives 200% to every performance - let's show him our love and support!!!
when hailey sings it makes me forget that i am sick and that i am going to die when i hear her sing the pain is gone& that i am not dead yet that i can still fight to live by always being in the bottom but always coming on stage full of life it shows i can live the rest of this life God has giving me i love you hailey you will always be my idol thank you for having the courage to step out on stage and presue your dream from your youngest fan :) please america vote for hailey
what?? people think his amazing singer? OMG his awful.. this peroformance was kinda horribly its over the place... my god are u guys deaf??? and some people compared him to adam wew lol thats kinda funny.. his nothing.! adam definitely a millionx better..
james durbin makes my ears bleed! i want him to leave! and for all you people saying he's better that adam lambert?...clean ur ears cause u obviosly don't know music! all he does is try to immitate adam! like cmo'n...bring something new to the competition! like haley her voice is UNIQUE
My wife and I have only missed one winner since the beginning and that was Adam Lambert. I'm sure many others have as well. This one is not a miss, James is the winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey James' I just love to hear you sing & I think that you have an 'Incredible voice' thank you so much for sharring your gift to the world, wishing you & yours 'ALL THE BEST' ALWAYS~
James better win but if he doesn't he will still get a contract and he is going to be one of the biggest stars American Idol" has ever brought to us, the fans. But its up to us to keep him on top. With a good manager and good songs, he'll have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life when it comes to Heidi and the baby. They will be taken care of by an awesome young man.
This young man is a briiliant performer, he was born to perform on the big stage? James, you are simply breathtaking, such a nice, polite young man too! YOU, James Durbin will be the next American Idol. Enjoy!!!!
I think that Haley's fans should really get off of James's videos

James, you inspired us. Thanks. Best of luck to you and your adorable family. You've really accomplished a lot and have a lot ahead of you. I hope Americans learned from you, saw your strength as both an artist and person. Those of us who struggle will keep you in mind when we think our difficulties are a challenge. I"m sure people don't have any idea what it took for you to allow that gift you have to blossom. Never let people stand in your way... in peace, Dori

Not the best voice, but a great entertainer. Made for performing and the stage. He can sing, and if he goes into the hard rock arena you don't need a great voice anyway. But he was great fun to watch and he performed the shit out if it every weak. It is disappointing he got voted off. Should have been Haley

James is an unbelievable talent and was robbed. I wonder who did he piss off amongst the big brass anyway? The remaining three should hang their heads in shame because they are not anywhere close to being in his league. This one was stolen right out from under you James! Ahhhhhhhh but you are in good company, Adam Lambert was robbed too!

Well, I never liked American Idol, and I just found out they voted James Durbin off just cuz he sang rock and metal. Fuck those faggity ass pussy shit likin bitch fukin cuntbag country singers. You think the Navy Seals that killed Osama listened to country to get them stoked before that mission? HELL FUCKING NO. They were prolly blasting "Seek and Destroy" till their ears were bleeding. America is about going balls deep, and thats what this guy did. Damn shame he got voted off.

Change your Face Book profile pic to Jame Durbin's pic and leave it up for one week - tell your friends to do the same so that we can show American Idol that the voting does NOT stop when the lines close and that the MOST TALENTED should win - steven tyler said apathy is a crime - do not stand by and let this happen - take action and tell your friends to do the same

James, you will continue to go far, keep singing your heart out! My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's almost a year ago. You have truly inspired her and to not feel ashamed. She actually started crying when you were voted off. (She does not display a lot of sorrow or empathy for others). Right before bedtime, she said, "James is like my Autism cousin". Then mommy cried!

controledinsanity 10 months ago
@controledinsanity Adam is seven years older, and has been professionally trained. James is just raw talent. I would love it if James had some vocal coaching before he put out an album, because I agree he can be rough in some areas. That being said-he has great talent, and amazing stage presence. Also-to get up and perform with Tourettes and Aspergers is impressive. I do NOT vote for James because of his disabilities-but I do give him props that he is perfoming through all those obstacles.
