James Durbin is better than the cowboy billy and cowgirl amd screamer put together. But you did him a favour, as he will be targeted for better things to come. I will never watch American Idol again, it's just not fair you get these teenie boppers voting for the young ones because they have a big crush. James you are amazing and will go a long way. This is not from America, this is from your intelligent border. Come to Canada and you will successful wherever you go. You are a very talented performer and will go places.

America you suck. You even had the judges crying. I think you should have called this American Country Idol. There you have Lauren and Scotty. Simple folk and will end up performing in a country bar.

All I can say, James, if ever you want to come and perform here in Toronto, just call browneyelass. Best wishes to you and your family.

He WAS the best one left by a country mile, and he was best on the night. This show is irrelevent to talent, so it shouldn't be taken seriously. Haley was best this wednesday and now she's gone. We have cutie doll Lauren and Scotty 'love me' the twatty left. he will win due to the overwhelming votes by the wet knickered prepubescent kiddies. I'll say it again. BRING BACK SIMON.

With the X-Factor coming-up, Simon will have his chance to prove he can produce better talent. But remember this, in the early rounds, he had to be out-numbered by the other judges in order for Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry and Bo Bice to move on, in their respective years. He wasn't always 100% right in his judgement. I agree that most of the time, he was more perceptive and not as easily influenced by the excitement of the live crowd. He also laid-into David Cook a couple times, but Cook survived it to win.
