James durbin

As soon as I got up on that stage, and I remembered how welcoming and warming the judges, their presence is, and it was just all uphill from there.
I have Tourettes and Aspergers, but Tourrets and Aspergers don't have me. You know, I'm doing what I can to suppress it and I don't let it take advantage of me. It's not who I am. You know, I'm James...
My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to, you know, rock. It's not always metal, but you know, half the time it is. Metal's cool, you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.
The first think I did when I found out I was a finalist, was, I don't remember, because it felt like it was an out of body experience.
The first time I heard The Beatles, I cried. It was 'Let it Be'.
I appreciate what others have done in the past especially for my genre, and my style of singing. And they sure put a footprint - you know, they got the foot in the door, but I'm going to put my foot...
If my life were a song it would be called 'Don't Stop Believing'. Yeah.
Hangin like a broken star in the sky No reason to shine Thinkin I could never be Someone's wish on The first star at night And I believed there was nothing left Left in my chest Then I lost my grip...
