Uprising: James Durbin Muses on American Idol
by Free Britney at .Last night on American Idol, James Durbin covered Muse, conjuring up images of Adam Lambert a few seasons ago. Durbin's song choice: "Uprising."
"I haven't gotten to show that I can be contemporary," he said, hoping to escape the metal/hard rock label. Suffice it to say, it worked and then some.
He's sounded better in the past. But he probably hasn't looked better.
The drums, the spinning cameras, the flashing lights and, of course, James' natural feel for performing sent the crowd and judges into hysterics.
After praising his cover of the Matthew Bellamy-led band, Steven made a crack about Durbin's wardrobe, telling James to stay out of his closet.
You are probably looking at the man to beat on American Idol ...

I ttlaoly agree with you. James was the best performer in this competition and he deserved to win, he really did. He has a breathtaking voice. I am also not a country fan so Im now hoping Haley wins. Scotty has an old style country voice and Lauren has a great voice too but yes, they are too boring to watch. Im gonna miss James but at least we know this wasnt the last time we’ll see him. He’s definitely gonna have a big career in the music industry so we should all be looking forward to hearing more music by James Durbin =)
ok everyone is rude, they are all good, just happons James is my favorite. they all have something special to bring to music, I just believe James got the voice of many talents...he can sing almost anything and he got the talent to do so and he hits the notes. their not perfect...are you? so instead of all you people being so damn rude, ya all need to check urself. these are kids searching for a dream and you all are putting em down. wake up america. these are americas children and people got bad rude comments. COME ON NOW. I cant believe how many people are putting him down....when hes #1 and wins, right back atcha ya all..but i am routing for James cause i believe he got what it takes 100 %. although they all have talent. realize these kids and their familys read this stuff....put youre self in their shoes...need positive not negitive comments..

James Durbin is just an Amazing singer, If anyone says anything negative about him, I know for a fact they are crazy. Than again I sure they can't even try to sound like him in the first place.
James Durbin is out of tune everytime he tries to sing high notes. It is really unpleasant to listen to. He needs to quit trying to copy Adam Lambert, because it does not work for him at all. He has been out of tune everytime he tries to scream like that. I thought he should have been booted off the show during Hollywood week. He has no original ideas either. I didn't like him from the beginning, because he also cries every chance he gets, just trying to get sympathy. When he isn't crying, he is bragging and being cocky. He is just a big phony. If he does ever have any success, it will not last long.
