American Idol top 7 performed Wednesday night and one of the clear standouts was James Durbin who sang Muse’ Uprising.
Even though Durbin was the second performer of the night and five more Idols had yet to take the stage at that point, Jennifer Lopez said she’s gonna go out on a limb and declared that Durbin’s performance was “going to be theatrically the best performance of the night.” She continued, “Wow, that was amazing. I think that was the highest we have heard you sing on the show. Or anyone else.”
Randy Jackson agreed. “Dude, you were unbelievable out there.” Like J.Lo, Randy also went out on a limb and declared, “I think this is going to be the best performance of the night.”
Steven Tyler told Durbin to stay out of his closet. “Mad Max meets Storm Troopers on Melrose. You’d be surprised how expensive it costs to look this cheap. That was crazy good…I love that you are out of your mind, beautifully so.”
