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.
VFTW's favorite faux rocker with special needs had a little too much to drink last night and decided to get married. His wife must be quite special as she obviously doesn't care that her spouse is a complete flop in the music business. Let's see if this lasts longer than Katy Perry and Russel Brand.
Meanwhile, fat smelly housewives can stop dreaming about James; you never had a chance with him, like you'll never have a chance with any of these people. But now you can dream about Wolf Hamlin!
VFTW wishes the newlyweds the best of luck. I give it 12 months.
James Durbin's "music" at the Falcons game on 12/15 was, well... you just need to hear it. And laugh at how pissed off the crowd looks.
Yes, some incresibly stupid record label signed James Durbin. We're excited because that extends the amount of time we can enjoy his uninhibited tweeting. His album cover was released yesterday and it's a whole lot of airbrushing. Bonus points for sticking him in a large, baggy coat though. What do you think of James's beautiful disaster?
