Part of why we still remember James Durbin is the winning interviews he gives. It all started when he tweeted that Colton Dixon's semifinalist performance "looked kinda familiar", referring to a performance he did last year. The Hollywood Reporter followed up on this by asking him to elaborate, which James was more than happy to do:
“I was definitely implying something...He said, ‘I’m going to surprise people.’ So he’s sitting down at the piano, and it’s kind of like, ‘Ok, this is not surprising.’ But then he jumped up on the piano. And as all my fans know and anyone who watched last season would know, I jumped up on a piano. I did the whole piano bit and set it on fire and did my homage to Jimi Hendrix during Elton John Week. By the way, the outfit that I wore for that performance is now on display at Graceland…”
James goes on to say, among other things, that Colton stole his haircut, and in general is completely unorignial. This is hilarious coming from a guy who made a career from being on a karaoke contest, who gets endless comparisons to his predecessor, Adam Lambert. James, we completely embrace your inability to hold back in interviews. More, please! Although I have a feeling that the next news about James Durbin is going to be something about one or more of Colton's rabid fans and a restraining order.

James is such a D-BAG; he loves pointing out how GREAT he is, in saying that his jacket is on display at Graceland; the gullible reader doesn't know that his Management Co 19(CKX) just so happens to OWN Graceland...Major A-HOLE

Warning: Anyone that ever plays a piano on any singing competition is now stealing James Durbin's act.

James Durbin's charity, Help Kids Rock, is really one of the most important organizations going right now. I remember when I was growing up, my mom used to tell me not to take my rock for granted, because there were kids in Africa who had none.

During James act there was clearly technical difficulties...the fire did not start until after James was off the piano.

I thought it was kids in Japan. No wait...they needed my Captain Crunch and Raisin Bran....

Are these rock artists in general really such arrogant jealous douches? Adam hated on Durbin last year. Now Durbin hates on Colton. Who's Colton going to trash next year?
