James Durbin Season 10

[Arielflies]

Yes he did - for the confidence, contacts and exposure.

[razorbacker]

Love him!!! he is doing well, he didnt need AI.

No one would have eve heard of him without the exposure he got from the show.

[Lil Bit]

He didn't need to win AI, but he needed the exposure the show gave him.

[Misty8723]

That was my thought exactly.

[BuckeyeAddict]

James will perform on Thursday's results show - along with Jennifer Hudson.

Really. That's great. I love them both.

[BuckeyeAddict]

Really. That's great. I love them both.

Me too!

And I just realized that what I wrote could be misinterpreted. They won't sing together, but they both will perform individually.

I was thinking it was a little sad for Jennifer to bury the announcement about her performing Thursday in James' thread. But I cannot find one for Jennifer! Might have to create one.

[ibot2much]

I think they have been really helping AI alum by booking them on the show.

I haven't followed his career.....so what will Ryan have to say about him this week?

[echo226]

There is a lot of information out there both on Durbin's website and elsewhere. He is involved with efforts to help kids with Asperger's, and Tourette's syndrome as well as kids who have been bullied. He also has a new album. He won't reveal his song choice for Thursday, but says it will be big. I suspect Ryan will touch on the humanitarian things and the album.

By the way, he evidently he thinks Colton is doing many things that he did ... including jumping on a piano and the hair.

Which is funny, because Adam Lambert thought James did what he did.
