yeah, i love the song, and I love where Durbin was going, but it was just too much. I didn’t mind the screaming, but then there was a lot of screaming and then even more screaming.
I loved it!!! It was completely on pitch and he went back and forth between octaves and head/chest voice without breaking. That is beyond hard.. He made it his own. Great song, great interpretation. Go James!!!!
With all due respect, Javabooknut, you have no clue about pitch. He was totally flat in the low parts and only got back on tune when he sang full out. Why don’t the judges ever talk about his inability to hold the pitch when he’s not at full volume?

Haley sings Adele; this’ll either be an absolute travesty or she’ll knock it out of the park.
I will admit I don’t like the kind of music that James does, but he really was good tonight. What I DONT’T like is the judges already saying he will probably be the best of the night when they haven’t heard the other 5. That is crap!!!
Yeah, risky move, lots of have tried this sort of thing and gone down in flames, but damn she pulled it off in spades.

That was my original thought but she proved me wrong. This was the first performance I liked by her. Before tonight I just wanted her to go home. She finally proved to me that she belongs here. Though she still isn’t my favorite. For me it’s all about Casey

Haven’t seen that before…. good one!
I love Muse, and that sounded great at first. But that screaming ruined the whole thing.

Haley knocked it out of the park! Haley FTW!
Haley’s doing Adele! Hells yeah!
That’s what I was hoping for. I am praying she slays it.
She did. Really liked it. She is def the one now that I could see paying for.
what muse track was it?
Uprising

He should have kept the chorus the way it was, the screaming was too over the top
It didn’t get under my skin. The worst screaming comes from baby Jacob.
Haley singing Adele is goin to be awesome! Also, I was digging james’s performance until the high note chorus…too much.
He put his stamp on it. If he didn’t people would have complained there was not interpretation.
Did not like James Durbin on that one. Trying to hard.
I AGREE!!
Mary is blonde now? Hmmm…
I love Haley, I really hope she does well doing an Adele song.

watching on the DVR about 15 minutes behind and James just did his best song and performance EVER!
Do you think Rolling in the Deep is too NEW and current to tackle?
i was afraid of that too but i’m likin this!
No, but I’d rather she did “Someone Like You”.
She’s doing pretty well with this song, though. Some minor issues in the 2nd verse, however.
Hi Shannon – are you m or f? Just wondering if you are my old friend as your comments remind me of someone….
I had the same concern but she slayed it. I was a little afraid of her doing something still so fresh. I was screaming.

James literally marches to the beat of his own drummers…
YaY!!! Haley’s singing the song I’ve been thinking of for her for weeks. Please be good!
