Every season of American Idol has at least one rocker vying for the crown, but few have an honest-to-god metalhead like James Durbin, who wailed his way to a fourth-place finish during the shows 2011 season. Born in 1989, Durbin was raised in Santa Cruz, California, where he was diagnosed with Tourette's and Asperger's syndrome at nine years old. Uncomfortable in social situations, he turned to music instead, developing a larger-than-life stage presence as part of a local theater group and singing lead with Hollywood Scars, a hair metal group inspired by Mötley Crüe and Guns N Roses. By the time he auditioned for American Idol, hed moved on to a new band called Whatever Fits.
Singing rock songs by Queen, Muse, and Judas Priest, Durbin became one of the seasons leading contenders, earning comparisons to Adam Lambert (another high-voiced Idol alum) along the way. He finished fourth, joined the inevitable "American Idol Summer Tour" several weeks after the show's finale, and released an EP, American Idol Season 10 Highlights, in June 2011. Durbin's full-length studio debut, Memories of a Beautiful Disaster, featuring the single "Love Me Bad," followed in November of 2011. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
He is sooooooo good. I will go see him at the Boardwalk this Saturday 5/19!!! Hearing his songs, I can't wait!! Love those screaming notes! He really nails them, the tone, the pitch. Amazing.
I didn't know that he has Tourette's and Asperger's! My son as PDD and is only 3-1/2 and worry about what will become of him but James is a great example that these kids can do great things! =)
I had only watched two episodes of AI before this one but never missed a show this past season and voted as much as humanly possible for James, AMAZING set of pipes, and what a cutie as well! I will continue to buy every CD he puts out!!!!!

James Durbin, in my opinion the best singer to come out of American Idol. I have no doubt he'll be a BIG success. When he tours, I plan to seem him live! Bet he's even that much better!! James, you are great!!
James - This song breaks my heart, and I've never heard anyone sing it better. You have incredible range and power behind your voice. I know you want to take a hardcore direction in your music, but I hope that you keep your lyrical quality in your metal. Can't wait to hear you on the airwaves, and in person, too!
James, you should have won! I'm hoping we will be hearing you on the radio very soon! I think that you are a true artist, good luck in life, we will be hearing from you soon, of that I am sure.
