James Durbin Continues His Reign With 'Love Potion No. 9' on 'American Idol' (VIDEO)
James Durbin had a very smart night on 'American Idol' (Wed., 8PM ET on FOX). First, he tackled Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin',' which was made famous again just a couple years ago as the signature song for the cast of 'Glee.'Then, he brought his rocker vibe to 'Love Potion No. 9,' reinventing the song to suit his style perfectly. As usual, he brought a full stage production, with flames, smoke and a full band to his performances. It was a stark contrast to Scotty McCreery running around the empty stage on his second song of the night.
The judges talk all the time about the contestants needing to have a "moment" to connect with the audiences at home, but as they said tonight, James Durbin is having a moment each week. In some cases he's having two moments.
'American Idol' airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8PM ET on FOX.
While Durbin would seem to be a fairly clear front-runner at this point, Ryan Seacrest reminded us at the end of the night that this was the week Chris Daughtry was sent home during his season. He was considered an almost sure lock to win that season, so it's important that Durbin's fans stay strong and behind him.
Do you think Durbin will win this season of 'American Idol'?
