After voting out James Durbin tonite, American Idol can go to hell from now on, not worth watching anymore!
The best performers have been voted out like Pia Toscano.
James Durbin was way much better than last 3 contestants remaining. Plus he was never bottom 3 during the entire season!

They are insane voting James off he should have WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am NEVER watching American Idol again. This is supposed to be a competition for the best singer! Are you kidding me! To keep Haley on over James is enough for me. The voting needs to be changed. Half the votes from America and half the votes from the judges! This is not a personality contest, it is a singing contest! No one sang better than James. In the end, he will make the other contestants look like amateurs

american idol is fixed! how in the world did Durbin get knocked off!? he was by far the best, by far the most talented, and by far the most entertaining. The Judges said it perfectly when they tole James he could sing it all. and he can. i hope he goes on to make a bigger name for himself than he has and blow our minds when he starts making albums of his own. hes going to be a bigger sensation than all of the “top Three” combined

james durbin isn’t really that good

James was awesome ! I am 66 years young and not particularly interested in Rock . I think this young man can go anywhere he wants in music , he doesn’t have to win to prove to me and many others that he is fantastic. You go James , I guarantee I will be watching for you . I love Scotty too , I sing country music myself and you are so talented . You are so relaxed and just a fabulous voice . The girls are both very good but since James is out ,Scotty should be at the top. Missed you tonight but the info on line . I was practicing my music for tomorrow nights Opry here in Nova Scotia .. All the best to all of you who are left. Jude M

i knew it, james will be leaving. no one ever won in AI who thinks he is so great already. sorry to the fans and too the judges who are so bias liking james than the other contestants, but lets face reality guys.

lauren will be the next to go leaving scotty and haley for top 2. and scotty is THE ONE for AI this season. i knew it! ^_^

Just like Chris Daughtery when he was ousted. James has a wonderful career ahead of him, probably has already be approached. I will buy his album for I love his voice and think he is a very versatile singer.

What the Heck!. James Durbin was an unbelievable talented young man. His talent was off the charts and his courage to get on Television and perform in front of our nation with Tourettes and high level of Autism. Shows so much heart and love for what God has blessed him with. I hope to see him in the music world and look forward to seeing him be his own star one day. I will never watch American Idol again stopped last year but heard of the talent that this season had in it and when I heard James I didn’t miss a show. We love you in West Virginia and am looking forward to seeing what life has in store for you and your precious family

James has a great voice and charisma. He should do fine. But as for original sound and the greatest potential for a significant career, I’d put Haley first. Lauren Alaina has an awesome voice, too, but is so young. As her life experience grows, so will her ability to develop a career with more life experiences under her belt. Scotty, also, has a beautiful voice and is a natural but is, also, so young. And, for me, he doesn’t bring anything terribly original to the table. My money is on Haley. I think, if she plays her cards right, she’ll have a good shot at major success. Two recent numbers — House of the Rising Sun and I Who Have Nothing are two of the best vocals I’ve heard in 10 years of watching Idol. Overall, great season of talent.

James was by far the best and most talented. The 13 year old girls did not vote for him because he is married. Simon advised Chris last year not to bring up his wife. Thats what it is about!

Haley should have been eliminated, in my opinion. James should DEFINITELY have been in the Top Three. I have lost all faith in America.

Maybe all of America finally got tired of James’ cockiness! I’m so relieved he is gone.

Done watching it. He was the only reason I was watching. I cannot believe Haley lasted this long….she sucks.

James Durbin was and is still the best voice. He is already a star.

Are you tone deaf?

Why are you bad America? Haley was a royal, supreme brat when the obvious was pointed out: her first performance was horrid. But Randy and Jen can’t handle dispensing the truth and had to overpraise her second performance, which was okay. Haley has had many crappy songs: anyone remember the butchering of the classic “Call Me”? Thanks to the judges always pardoning Haley’s poor performances, she always averts certain disaster. Sure, I could blame the tweens/teens for voting for Haley, but it rests squarely with the judges for constantly forgiving Haley’s mediocrity and promoting what she could be later instead of pointing out what she is now. Yeah; I’m done with the show now.

Hailey has a terrible voice. She cannot sing but she can shout. She argued with the judges and could not take corrective information as she thought she was so hot! She thinks she has a hot body but she is very fat in her thighs and legs. I have seen better bodies on 70 year old women.

Well Idol is on the final and forever way out. Producers sold it this last week and are concentrating on developing Coming 2 Hollywood as a new format, new media parade of talent competition on coming2hollwyood.com Obviously, Idol has sucked for years and it seems its going to be given a non-euthenized death.

I am so through with Idol. Since Simon left and Adam Lambert plus other singers who were eliminated early and went on to better singing careers than the actual idols who won, the show has lost it’s appeal for me. This put the final nail in the coffin, James eliminated. I am not going to bad mouth the other contestants, but other than Haley the other two have voices that I hear everyday on the radio. They are nice kids, but lets face it James was pure entertainment plus voice. That is a true American Idol. Heavy rock never really makes it through, other than David Cook, who I would not consider heavy, it seems to go by pop or country. I am so happy X Factor will be shown in the fall and they will be adding groups as well. AI so over you. I will definitely buy James music when it is released. I hope in the final he does get to sing with Steven Tyler.

Loved James, shame he couldn’t go further, I have no interest in the others.

I will Not be watching the finals on American Idol, nor will I be watching the show next year. This is absolutely ridiculous. James is by far the best they have had on the show in a very long time. How can they allow the very best to be voted off and keep singers? like the three that are left.

I can’t belive that James was voted off and the girlsans Scotty were kept on. I will NOT be watching the finals nor will I watch next year. James and Pia should both be the last two on the show and they should both be winners.

James should have won the whole damn thing!!! Typical Idol voters….now the finale will be boring!!! All 3 left are not showman performers like James. So sad!!

James can sing…but what a sob story he presented of himself. Haley is by far the jewel of the show. Even the judges can’t get her tossed because America got it right!

Its not a beauty pageant…or is it? Haley can sing just fine. She has her own sound which I think is refreshing. Yeah James got sent packing…so what. Adam Lambert another great singer did not get the top prize. Chris Doughtry again. These people have had great exposure and if they don’t go on its not like they didn’t get their 15 minutes of fame.

James played the “poor me” card once too often and I am happy he got dumped..

Give your head a shake dude…Haley was being criticized for her “inspirational” choice. Who are we to say what inspires someone?

Sorry Haley is not a better singer than James, if anyone should win now it is either Scotty or Lauren

Unbefrigginbelievable!!!!! This guy is a superstar if I ever saw one.

Hey people….. somebody has to win… and somebody has to go……. can’t please everybody,suppose that’s why it’s called “entertainment”.

I am so with you on this one!! The only reason I was wathcing American Idol was because of Jmaes Durbin too,and I just can’t believe that America perfer Haley!!! James Durbin is by far the best contestant American Idol has have in all its history. He has a great future and I know he’s going to make it big.
JAMES DURBIN I LOVE YOU…DON’T GIVE UP YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Are you serious? No offense, but Scotty is good at one thing and one thing only: country and old way of singing country at that. Surely you have the right to your opinion and I do respect that. I also have my own opinion and Scotty will only please the palate of those music lovers who are drawn to his drawl and delivery.

Amen to that! I will buy his cd along with Casey’s for sure!

Cmcgi, James is engaged NOT married yet. He does have a toddler son, Hunter, w/his fiancee, Heidi…fyi

Just for the record, Adam Lambert was greatly RELIEVED–his words not mine–when he did NOT win. Adam stated in a post-AI interview that he was sincerely happy for Kris Allen but had Adam won, he knew he would be locked into performing songs that was not true to who he is and for that reason, he was relieved. Every recording artist wants his/her creative freedom and if you are the winner of AI, at least for the first year, that is out of your control. Look it up and check into what I am saying if you do not agree. Just thought it was important to clarify info here…

Am Idol probably saw James as a threat to win it all. They were concerned that a metal rock star, who is a devoted husband and father, won’t bring in as much $$$$$$$ as a young, single, country artist. And maybe they are right. Either way, their solution………………..get rid of him. Absolute travesty!!

Im pretty sure u meant to write james is amazing, and theres no one else on here thats even close to as good as a singer as he is. and he will show up the rest of them, cause the ones left suck.

Every once in a while, I find a reason to watch American Idol—David from a few years ago was the first and this year it’s James. I was in total shock to find out he was eliminated and brought to say…I stop watching right there. The only reason I could think of is that he must have something lined up and cannot continue with the show or had to finish the show and not get the title that might just ruin his chances of becoming a Rock Artist. Just like in the movies… nobody wants to be known at Beaver all there life!

Hey People, wake up and smell the roses. James Durbin already has a contract.And think about it he did not want to have to tour with Idol for a whole year. He wants to start making money as soon as possibable. Can you blame him?Think of this as your Show.Do you want it to be that easy to pick the winner? Keep yourself tuned in just like they want you to,and they will be very happy.This makes alot of money. Talk again soon OUT OF TUNE HA! HA! HA!

bravo….i wholeheartedly agree….i will not watch american idol either……i dont care who wins but it had better be lauren because country boy and curly top do not even deserve to be there…..72 million vote and yet james had never been in the bottom – please this is soooo fixed! all these reality shows bite big time. bye bye american idol even the judges were stunned by james leaving but at least they looked truly shocked…..ugh what a complete waste!

you need a reality check…..curly top the winner HARDLY she yells she does not sing. she should never have been in the top 10! ugh if she wins no one will buy her album let alone pay to see her in concert – what a joke. james was by far the ultimate winner he put on a show and that is one guy I would pay money to see…..american idol dropped the “microphone” big time on this one and if by chance the country boy wins ugh…..good god almighty he is just awful and acts and sings like a 50 year old ugh!!!

not only can she NOT SING….r we supposed to be impressed with the “outfits” or lack of outfits that she wears and the heels please surprised she doesnt get nose bleeds or fall off the stage – now that would be funny!

Haley has a terrible attitude and behaves like a spoiled selfish brat. To echo what a lot of others say, I am finished with Idol this season.

I agree with you, but the teeny boppers and Idol don’t want someone who has a family to win. James always gave 110%, he played to the crowd and got the crowd involved. He is a true performer. James is a very special spirit, bless you James. We love you in Muscle Shoals Alabama!!!!

I hope all of the people in America who voted for James a true entertainer boycotts Idol and then watch their ratings drop, Idol needs to go!!! Bless you James, your great!!! Can’t wait to buy your first CD!!!!!

Good grief people, James was my favorite also, but quit watching American Idol because my favorite got voted off, I don’t think so. It is so much fun cheering on the one I want to win and hating their top competition, I look forward to it every year!!! Are the others talented? Yes they are! Is the competition fixed? If it were James would have won this year he was definitely the Judges favorite, as was Adam last year. I think people got tired of James crying every night, I like the guy and I got tired of it. I also didn’t like it when he had a bad night and the Judges said what a wonderful job he did. That insulted everyone’s intelligence. I’m sure James has a big career ahead of him. He has a great voice.

I will never watch American Idol again.

I TOTALLY agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t get to watch this week but I cannot believe that he’s gone. He was by far the best of what’s left. I won’t be watching the rest of the season either!!!!!

I”ve been watching this show for years…James being voted off is just plain disgusting….he had more stage presence and more talent than any other contestant. He was confident and intelligently creative….he grew from the very beginning more than any other contestant…and above all….A decent guy…..

Mister J.

This happens every season. Look at last year with Crystal, or with Adam, or Daughtry. All of these have gone on to sell more albums then the eventual winner. In fact, most of the winners, except Carrie and Kelly, are mostly never heard of and sell less than most Indie artists. The fact is, if the contestant is doing so well, and selling the most on iTunes downloads, they know they will sell albums, no need to keep them around. James will sell albums, I will buy it like I bought Crystal’s, but I will not buy any of the other contestants as they nor the label deserve my patronage. I think Lauren will sell, so she’s the next to go. Then “Good’ole’ Scotty will just miss out to the horrid screaming sounds of Haley. Haley will bomb just like DeWyze did in sales and we will never have to hear from her again, until they bring her back on Idol as some Superstar (even though we all know she is nothing of the such). So this being said, like others, as soon as they sent him home, my DVR was deleted of all Idol and I immediately made sure that it was not taping any Idol, because they are not getting any “Bumps” from me on the ratings. They do not deserve it. Oh and BY THE WAY – IDOL – if it isn’t FIXED, RELEASE THE RESULTS to the voters. YOU CAN’T BECAUSE YOU LIE!!!!!

Quite honestly james was the best and he will have a CD out in no time at all my heart goes out to him and his family through all he went through he has come through it with a lovely heart and family I LOVE YOU JAMES!!!!

JAMES FOREVER!!!!!!!

Too many times the “best” cointestant gets the boot too early . This year again . Remember Adam Lambert ,remember Michael Johns , remember Clay Aiken ,…there seems to be a trend . The true vote tally should be made public . I for one do not believe that this is how the results were deemed after the voting . I also honestly hope that James Durbin gets on with his recording/performing career and shows all the morons what a mistake they made . If I were him , I’d skip the damn idol tour .

I think 6 out of 10 seasons turned out this way , Last week , 72 million votes and the best person leaves ??? The show is a farce . At this point I don’t really give a damn who wins . The one who deserved the win is gone .

james was not cocky and if you dont know how brillant he was as singing you must be tone deaf!!!!!!

I will never watch this B-Shit fixed Idol show again.
It was bad enough that James Durbin got voted off,
now Haley Reinhart got the boot as well.

Scotty McCreery & Lauren Alaina do not have 1/4 of the talent that James or Haley have.
I don’t believe that Scotty & Lauren got the votes Idol say they got.

Bye-Bye A-I.

i have to say i disagree lauren and scooty are fantastic for there age but not as good as james durbin but i got to say that they are better then haley she is a brat but was very good at singing

America got to comfortable and should have voted. He was the best and like me I thought he would win hands down and guess what I didn’t vote cause I just knew he would win….my fault

I can honestly that I will NEVER watch American Idol again! The last 3 or 4 years have gone to the wrong person. Too many pathetic female teeny boppers ruining the votes. If you are not cute and male and singing pop, soft rock or country there is no chance in hell you are going to win. I am done. I will look forward to watching the X Factor when it starts.
