James James James James!!!!!!!

James without a doubt. I remember when “Love Potion Number 9″ came out and I always thought it was a silly song. Not so anymore after watching James make that song his own.
June 28th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
James Durbin is the best…. He should have been in the final no questions about that.
June 28th, 2011 at 6:20 pm

DURBIN !!!! DURBIN !!!!! DURBIN!!!!!

I love both of them and find them to be powerful performers. Yes, James should have been on the match up for the Idol finale and probably won. Lauren was great, but James had the chops and stage presence. As for Voice’s Beverly, well she’s my favorite. We so often see powerful guys sing, but she just has such a great personna, sexy, dominate on stage, humble and just plain amazing. Go Beverly!
June 28th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
James Durbin. Simply the best. No question.
June 29th, 2011 at 5:25 am
James \o/!
That kid has a lot of charisma.
June 29th, 2011 at 11:48 am
Definitely Beverly McClellan! She has her own style and her voice is very distinquishable. James Durbin brings nothing new to heavy metal. Sure he brought some to AI, but that was it. He doesn’t stand out among the crowd.
June 29th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
\,,/ JAMES DURBIN \,,/
June 29th, 2011 at 4:23 pm
James. He has everything. Should have won.
June 29th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
James Durbin kills it – the winner bigtime is James!
June 29th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
James Durbin – I love this guy – he will be the next superstar!!!
June 29th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
James Durbin is my idol – he can sing and perfrom like noone else – there is a big future in store for James!!
June 29th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
JAMES DURBIN!!!!Phenomenal singer, artist, entertainer and showman!!!
June 30th, 2011 at 6:27 am
James Durbin.. He will be the next super star…
June 30th, 2011 at 7:35 am
James is definitely the better singer and performer. He has a voice that would be hard to top and such topnotch stage presence. You get totally submerged in his performances when you watch and listen to him. He has “heart” and “feeling” in his voice. Hope and pray he has a phenominal career. He deserves it after getting booted from Idol.
June 30th, 2011 at 7:53 am
James Durbin all the way!!!!!
June 30th, 2011 at 9:10 am
James! He is the best and should have won Idol!!!
June 30th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
No contest, James rocks!!!
June 30th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
James Durbin rules!! He was robbed on American Idol….should have won HANDS DOWN. Beats this challenge HANDS DOWN.
July 1st, 2011 at 2:20 pm
JAMES JAMES jAMES-NO CONTEST
July 3rd, 2011 at 3:39 pm
James Durbin is Rockstar heaven
July 4th, 2011 at 1:34 am
I think most people are impressed by James Durbin, because they are unaware of the “original” heavy metal version of Love Potion nr. 9 by the Tygers of Pan Tang.
Then James becomes far less surprising and just a run of the mill imitator.
So it is Beverly, due to her good performance, but in particular her joy in rocking the show.

James Durbin from Cougar !!!
July 5th, 2011 at 5:11 am
You’ve got to be kidding me. You can’t even compare them. James Durbin has an incredible voice with an effortless insane range, this person is squeezing the upper range and is barely heard in the lower range. Who had the brilliant idea to even put them next to each other like that? James is a well rounded brilliant artist where every move, every detail of his appearance makes sense. He should have won really this year, but that’s another conversation.
July 5th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
James – No contest!!!!
July 16th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
JAMES DURBIN……NO CONTEST…..
