James Durbin - Living For The City (BEST PERFORMANCE? - Review) - American Idol 3/23/11 Recap

[Dprang1]

Find something different to do....you video is simply ridiculous!

Your opinions are bs... really bad bs

[gonzo532]

duh duh duh, and um, duh duh duh, and um, so, uh, so, yeah and uh. Cut your hair, get a job, meet a girl or stfu.

[MrBrockilus]

I have figured out he's scottish he wouldnt have James Durbin in there huh? This guy is so desperate to get laid its funny. He doesnt like him because hes talented and better looking. He knows hes the most competition for Hailey and he knows Lauren is the least every week he says he hates James Durbin come on the Paul McCartney song Maybe Im Amazed and then Carole King Will you still love me tommorrow were great at least that. But I can remember every performance he does hes always memorable

[zebracrunk]

@MrBrockilus I KNOW that I'm ugly, but people actually find Durbin attractive? Really?

[wagabada]

@zebracrunk he's not attractive, you're right... but he has something that make him special...very special

[arik1951]

Are you lookin for job offer ?? u miss dud

[rubiefran13]

this guy needs to get a life

[vinicre]

fuck you

[Jared2324]

you didn't like almost all of the performances. i'm just wondering why not. especially james durbin. the second half of the song was rock solid. one of the best voices in the competition by far. i mean when steven tyler says you're gonna end up being just like him, that's sayin something

[1973Sexyme]

Ity drives me crazy that they added Stephano to the top 13... I mean come on! He should have been gone last night and they would never had to of wasted the save on Casey! Casey, and I will add Stephano to, have talent but they are not going to win. Hope they don't regret that decision.

[Kerplunk990]

@1973Sexyme stefano isnt that bad

compared to that niema chick i dont even know how to spell her name

i actually think stefano is pretty good

however my favorite is james and paul, maybe lauren

[kelkihel]

BTW, I just checked Naima's performance (i fell asleep and didn't see it until now)... I hope I won't get slammed for this but, it was not ridiculous. I thought it was different and creative. None of the other contestants in this or previous seasons had ever dared to also dance on the stage. She has the courage to do it. Besides, african dancing is just as beautiful as any other (typical american) dances. Don't discriminate her just because she has african roots and is proud of them.

[kelkihel]

@essencewynter .. oh boy I totally forgot about Casey. He's good. I've been rooting for him since auditions. However I think he also might want to tone down the screaming every now and then. It's getting very monotonous and all the songs sound alike. But overall, I like Casey too, he's also on my top list.

[GenX6887]

Thia was the breakout performance of that night! James is my favorite overall!

[fullahbro1]

I noticed you favoured all the pale-coloured contestants

[BEVERLYJOYCE1]

I love James Durbin !!!!!!!!!

[SynthiaRose]

(contd.).

10. Naima - Not much of a voice, but she's a character. The hair, look, dancing. She's different &that's refreshing. Did rewatch. Her voice isn't beautiful but it's rough &strong --strange 4 a woman. Should sing Tina Turner.

11. James: Didn't think James could pull this off. HE's such a screamer &this isn't rock. But wow, did a great job. Could have been perfect but he sang it like a happy song. It's about surviving a bleak place & he's up there doing the 2-step& smiling. Um.OK

[SynthiaRose]

(contd.)

5. Stefano -- He NEVER should have been on Idol in the first place. Hello was boring when Lionel Richie made it, now zombie Stefano makes it double boring. Please go home!!!!

6. Hailey: I like her but she didn't mesh w/the song well to me. Powerful voice but something awkward/off I can't put my finger on.

7. Scott: It was OK.

8. Pia: Boring & nondescript. Overrated wtf compared her to MJ.

9. Paul: His voice is soo cute and pretty. I can listen to him all night (I did. 10 times)

[essencewynter]

@SynthiaRose that is thia megia not pia lol my favorites are casey,james,pia

[SynthiaRose]

My 2 Favorites for this show: Jacob Lusk & Paul McDonald.

One of the boring ia's should be voted off: Pia or Thia.

Casey can go as well.

1. Casey: Terrible torture of the Grapevine song. He was just yelling not singing.

2. Thia: Boring choice. Nothing to remember here.

3. Jacob Lusk: A little churchy, but masterful none the less. I've watched it 10 times! lol.

4. Lauren: Yeah, we already know she's the next Clarkson. But she doesn't move me. I never rewatch her.

[essencewynter]

@SynthiaRose casey and pia are not boring but i agree with u thia is boring as fuk

[kelkihel]

For me the best singers so far are Jacob, James, Pia, Justin, Scotty and Lauren. Haley should have gone home last week and Karen should have been given another try. Thia is cute but she's not bringing anything new or exciting. Paul is starting to work on my nerves. Stephano, hmm he has a good week and then a bad one, I'm not conviced. Naima is trying hard but I don't think she's gonna last that much longer. Bottom 3: Thia, Naima, Haley

[essencewynter]

@kelkihel yo wat about casey i think he is tight and james too

[jiuymin]

Lauren's just a typical caucasian american, no star quality. her performance last night was only ok.

[bud385]

just what the internet needs Captain complete ( monotone) telling everyone who the best singers were dude, try sounding at least the  tiniest bit enthused you sound like you're reporting for channel 7 on a story about the ultimate chess match

[PonyPlayer21921]

The guy is head and shoulders above anyone on the show......And this is a very good year......Pia can sing but is boring and will never sell any records.....Lauren is young with potential.......This guy would put out a multi million selling album tomorrow

[NguyenAlexk2311]

i love JAMES!!!

[kwej76]

Omg...ur accent is Hilarious! (My roomate is canadian as well)

I liked the Paul McDonald performance...ALOT. I thought this was the best of the night!!

[chitownsoxrchamps]

JAMES DURBIN ROCKED THE STAGE!

[Shabadoo09]

Not saying youre stupid for having bad opinions, saying youre stupid for thinking that they pick a 'big song' to finish the show. Its always been random.

[zebracrunk]

@Shabadoo09 The order is always random, but a little excitement to finish the show is usually present. Not last night though.

[tonks1988]

Seriously, James high notes are annoying he rarely hit them right.

and Paul sucked he didn't get the memo on what the song is about.

[SirTannerJoe]

LAUREN SUCKES

[RoseBelnapp]

They are all good this yr. I dont even remember last yrs singers. Pia is okay. she is pretty and perfect but no personality. Stefano is improving. Jacob is good. Love Casey. I guess James is a strait Adam and not as glitzy. I find this season something to really get into. Last yr I just tried to pick the best of the worst. Rose

[RoseBelnapp]

Pia go home

[imanofficerable]

@RoseBelnapp do i detect a hint of jealousy? James is allright but overhyped, he DOES look like an Adam Lambert wannb, but not nearly as good. Like his screams for example, he doesn't always get them right and sometimes it puts me off too.

The best singers in this competition are Pia, Jacob, Lauren and Casey. As for Stefano, he's growing in the competition, who knows? Scotty is very good, but he has a limited range and that's going to kill him. Rest are good but I doubt they can win it.

[wiseguyknowsit]

James needs to tone down the scream. It's turning me off. It's too Adam Lambert and over the top. I don't care if he does it well hold back and just tone it down. Thia can do so much more vocally. But Hailey will go home.

[fuzzywuzzy39]

I think Scotty has a good chance of going home. He was absolutely horrible. As for my favorite performance, I'm going to have to say Casey as usual. And yeah Naima, her african dance number was ridiculous. How the crowd or the judges for that matter enjoyed it is beyond me,

[brickbentley]

Jacob Lusk had the best performance IMO. I expected better from Casey, but he's not going anywhere. Scotty butchered Stevie.

[StephenC98]

yo, can u message me, and i did not watch American Idol tonight, just cause i cant pm anyone for some reason
