It doesn't sound like he has the emotion, for me, personally, I feel like he's just singing it. It's not about the lyrics or the purpose, it's about the tour. Good song choice though.

@MysteryThalia Any Muse song is a good choice!

PHENOMENAL!!! You either had really great seats or a really great camera...or both!!! Once again, James nailed every aspect of this performance. His voice sounded great, his use of special effects was great, and his stage presence is off the charts!!! I can't wait to see James in concert when he doesn't have to share the time with anyone else. All James, all the time!!! Thanks for posting this!!!!

@lightacandle5 : Both -- we were in the 2nd row (paid a bundle for the VIP package that included a Meet and Greet before the show), and a Panasonic Lumix, best pocket camera around. And mine is an old-school Lumix, doesn't even take hi-def vids.

Fanfastic!!!! Come one, JAMES DURBIN is a vocal phenomena. He starts low key, goes up an whole octave in the chorus 1st time. Go back to lower register, jumps to TWO, TWO octaves higher the whole final chorus. JAMES has the voice, the connection with the audience, the charisma and the looks to become an ICON! I pity the others in comparison to him. Even fans of the other contestants can't get inmune to JAMES and get mesmerized by him! GO JAMES, ROCK ON! We're waiting U in BRAZIL!!!
