This was the best performance of the entire season, period. Fight me on this, I won't change my mind. Every note is perfect. The vibe, the beautiful slow a cappella intro, the rock rest, but highlighting James voice and range. Swag at the end. What about this performance isn't just the best?!
all of James performances were awesome but this was my favourite stand out performance, Amazing, loved it, he should of won American Idol in my opinon x
James is doing great on his own. Phillip Phillip's won and spent 3 years fighting AI in court to get out of their crooked contract. He lost 3 years fighting them in court!
He was the best and he should have won. After he lost I never watched American Idol again. The show is rigged. James Durbin, Crystal Bowersox, Katherine McPhee, Adam Lambert, Jennifer Hudson, David Archeleta. All of them should have won.
Glad for him he did not win. Phillip Phillip's had to sue American idol to get out of their bogus contract and he lost 3 years of work while fighting them in court. James Durbin has done better without AI
Brian Hagaman Haley and James, although Casey did some remarkable stuff too. Still, Idol isn't really a musical competition. It's a TV reality show exploiting singers for Idol's own agenda.
Jennifer is right. James has been consistent even though I didn't care for heavy metal it was one week for me and he had great performances to make up for that. He should've at least beated hayley. She was in the bottom multiple times and he was not in the bottom even once. Even Lauren was in the bottom at one time. Only James and Scotty were not in the bottom until James was eliminated. So James in my opinion should've been in the finale. I think even the judges were surprised he was voted out before hayley.
He has done better on his own. Phillip Phillip's had to sue to get out of his winning AI contract and it cost him plenty! He wasn't allowed to record or perform for 3 years while he fought them in court!
I never watched this show again after he was voted off. Absolutely one of the best ever on this show
Ten years later and this performance still gives me chills!!!

What an amazing singer/guitarist James Durbin is!! Spectacular - love him so much - that was 12 yrs ago, where is he now?????
I saw him last night in Santa Cruz. Still awesome.
I can’t get enough of that performance! How many years later! Still going back in time !
Fantastic! ❤
This performance of James was epic and stands out as one of his best.
all of James performances were awesome but this was my favourite stand out performance, Amazing, loved it, he should of won American Idol in my opinon x
By far the best rendition of this song I've ever heard. He didn't miss a note. Impressive performance.
best rendition of this song EVER
What an incredible performance. Best of that season, for me!
BY FAR, my FAVORITE performance by James Durbin!!
That Voice still gives me holy shivers!
Just a completely awesome, pitch perfect performance. Chills and tears. Great, great job!!
Is this the best ever performance on Idol .... ever? Yes!
THE BEST THIS SONG WAS EVER DONE AND ITS BEEN DONE BY THE BEST......AWSOME
He's amazing, I wish he would have won, but he is doing great, so in your face Idol! Lol
Chills down my spine
I love his music
beautiful vocals!
Clearly James was the most versatile performer of the entire season! This, Uprising/While my guitar gently weeps!! What went wrong?
The teenage girls voted for the imitation cowboy, and he won.
Love, love, love this!!!
It still bothers me to this day that he didn't win....he definitely was the BEST!!!!

He should have won
He should have won.
I thought he was the One To win it was Scotty all the Way it's a Shame I Wanted Scotty and James in the Finale it didn't happen
Brian Hagaman

The finale even though I loved Lauren it should've been Scotty and James.

But he didnt win the whole thing. He got robbed
