"Judas Priest" on America Idol last night...

I don't watch AI anymore, but this kid did a great job! I give him props for including the "ball squeezing" vox! He didn't try to screw it up by taking the traditional sound out or anything...very cool!

Sorry to hear it didn't work out dude. So is second round still at the stadium event or did you make it in front of the judges?

There are 3 different rounds...

1st round is the stadium where 15 to 20 thousand people go up in front of various tv/music producers at 11 or 12 different "stations"

2nd round is in a different location and is much more like what you see on tv as far as the auditions go. They have a stage like you see on tv and such, but you go in front of the actual producers and top music execs from the label.

3rd round is the Randy/J-Lo/Tyler round.

I'm not marketable enough...that's why I sing in prog music. :)
 
I have officially watched more of AI just now than all other seasons combined. I googled this guy and found something interesting:

"American Idol" found a genuine rocker in San Francisco in the form of James Durbin. Not only that, but poor James overcame such obstacles as a father who OD'd when he was nine years old, being diagnosed with Tourettes and Asperger's syndromes and having a son at the age of 21 (which is his own deal, he takes full responsibility).

Then Steven Tyler gets Tourettes after the performance...
