for those debating James and Adam, it is simply a preference...both are great in their respective ways....I prefer raw emotion to glam so James is it for me......
I also love Pink Floyd and James Durbin.. Your comment was downright silly.... James has a great voice and he is a fantastic performer..... clean out your ears or get better buds
I am trusting his new album coming out next week will propel him into turing....
He is on my concert list of goto's, regardless of who he opens for. It has been a long time to see such energetic rock sung so damn well...raw talent performed in ROCK style...not POP style.
@wishwishify yep same here, i know he'll be doing great. I mostly liked 70's rock and i'm into OneRepubilc, 3 doors down, The Fray, now its James Durbin. The man can sing A N Y T H I N G...
i saw him!!! in the philippines!!! kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! oh well, he may not won the title american idol, but in peoples hearts, WE ALL KNOW who SHOULD have won right? yes people, it's james... duh...
Just saw them in Philly. The whole night was awesome, best Idol season by far! We saw the very first Idols Live tour in Atlantic City and it was like a middle school play in comparison to these guys!
According to a friend of mine who attended the LA tour performance..James was sick during the next three or four shows after this one but still gave amazing performances...
@23kmk AWESOME JOB !!! LOVE THIS !! THANK YOU for giving us a close up view, it's really great to see the audience but we DURBIN FANS need our JAMES FIX....lol...and only close range can achieve that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to think he was sick that night and apparently threw up after the show! All those haters that claimed that he can't sing are being silenced one by one!
@Durban4Durbin I don't think James is a "terrible" singer. A good showman...perhaps. But I would puke after I gave a vocal performance as bad as this too.
I hope somebody convinced him to work with a good vocal coach between Idols Tour and his album debut, cuz he COULD be really good. Dude just misses WAAYYY too many notes, flat or sharp all the time. Ask anybody with professional singing/teaching background. Just listen 6:50-7:20...AWEFUL! Sorry Durban4Durbin. His best is his lower register.
@kfarring I'm pretty sure that if you asked ANYBODY in the industry, Adam would be head, shoulders, and waist above James in just about every sense of the words "talent" and "performance". I don't like to just show up and comment ripping somebody, but I just don't see how Durbin fans can't hear how off he is on just about EVERY high note, and comes off flat or sharp in a lot of his lower register. He's got a pocket in his voice that sounds SWEET!, but when he leaves it...its sounds just awful.
@Salos2217 It's a matter of personal taste, a lot of people like myself prefer James in every way, Lambert's high register to me is a turn off. The problem I have is not the comparisons, which are completely ridiculous to begin with because James is hard rock and Adam is glam and electronica, but it's the obsession Adam's fans have with James, comes off as mass insecurity. When Adam publicly critized James he came off as a immature turd trying to undercut a much younger person's career.
@kfarring I could see how you could prefer James' style. But thinking James is a better/more gifted/talented/skilled VOCALIST than Adam would just be plain wrong. Taste in music and personality has nothing to do with that. To me, that would be saying Toby Keith is better than Pavarotti. You may prefer Keith, but IS NOT a better vocalist.
And I know, even the best could miss a note here or there, but James misses them consistently. You should also check out more adam vids, dude sings EVERYTHING
Adam just sang a set with Queen when Queen received a World Icon Award. (Rock). Check out "Soaked" acoustic version. (Opera (Pop-Opera). "Is Anybody Listening" from Ten Commandments (Theater). "A Change Is Gonna Come" (Rhythm & Blues/Rock/Soul). "If I Can't Have You", Idol Performance (Ballad). I hated Adam's album, I don't like the Dance/Electronic/Pop music either.
James to me is a one trick Pony. He gives decent tries at other genres, but hardly sings Metal well consist
@Salos2217 I'm a fan of James Durbin, I don't watch his videos to hear about other artists, especially ones I don't care for. You're barking up the wrong tree.
Marry me?(:
