Taking On Idol The James Durbin Story
James Durbin rocketing his way to celebrity status, performing worldwide to a huge TV audience week after week and winning the hearts of millions. This has allowed James to collaborate with some of the most famous names in the recording industry.
This past week on the show James sang Judas Priest’s You Got Another Thing Comin’.”James, that was (bleep) crazy good!” Steven says. “I think all America agrees with the word I used.”
“I love the way you perform,” She continued to say “Every move you make comes from something inside. That’s what everybody needs to do when they’re up there.” Said Jenifer Lopez. “This is, right here, how you do it.” Is how Randy Jackson summed it up.
After much anticipation, it came down to James Durbin and Stefano Langone for the final spot in the top 10. Stefano was sent home and James took the final spot in the top 10. Top 10 include: Scotty McCreery, Paul McDonald, Jacob Lusk, James Durbin, Casey Abrams. Women: Thia Megia, Pia Toscano, Lauren Alaina, Karen Rodriguez, Haley Reinhart
James deserves a huge pat on the back for overcoming so many odds. All while working towards this great achievement. Our favorite part of James’ story is just a few months ago, he was just another would-be musician in California fighting for a dream, going from job to job, with an young infant son and the life altering burden of having not one but two high-stigma neurological conditions. Since Idol his life has changed and the world is quickly learning of his giant skill set.
James has had the dream to perform on the show for many years, even as far back as a teen. When the effects of Tourette’s and Asperger’s syndrome made ithard for him to do something as simple as talk. James actuallu auditioned for the show two years ago and was not selected, what a turn of events.
