James Durbin ~ Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

[@warrensheinwald809]

Still the GREATEST American Idol performance of all time.

[@dvg4104]

Absolutely! That kid was so damn good!

[@SarahBurnette1007]

He should have won that season. 💯 💯 💯

[@visionarylady7128]

Geesh, he has one of the greatest tenors eva!!!! Sang boo!!!❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jemoja77]

I'm an aging rocker who grew up on rocknroll in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Had never watched American Idol until late night youtubing brought me Adam Lambert last year. This year it brought me you. This is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard, even better than Carole King. Hope you tour up Seattle way sometime.

[@blanksnafu9247]

This performance remains one of my all-time favorites throughout Idol history. James Durbin should have won it all. 🎵👍🎸

[@Rezolution01]

I agree with you 100%. It was truly a magical performance and I've never seen this repeated by anyone on the American Idol stage.

[@tinalongietti4676]

Absolutely agree. I wanted him to win so bad. I loved this performance and remember it so well!

[@tammiewyles3321]

💯he should’ve won this..

[@valwoodford9877]

Mine too.

[@Terra582]

Yeah...I stopped watching American Idol after James Durbin lost....Definitely he shouldve won that night! That is and still is my favorite American Idol performance!!

[@kevinwalsh4652]

It's weird, James and Haley blow away Scotty and the Alaina girl... shows fixed, ask Jena Irene, she got robbed too

[@gigigodwin2616]

That's also when I stopped watching AI.

[@scottspecht4268]

I stopped watching after that also

[@loiscaselman5032]

Love, love love, love love, LOVE!

[@christophermercado5466]

He should've won! There was no one that season who can match him

[@fstagigi]

💕💖💕 Has it really been over 7 years? Hands down, James should have won that season. That's the reason I stopped watching the program.

[@darrel3924]

same here!

[@gynack]

StillMe A stellar performance that probably deserved a Standing Ovation. However, Haley provided most of the real highlights of the season. She was far more versatile and brilliant in so many different genres. She should have won. However, I'd certainly place James above Scotty and Lauren - 2nd, or perhaps 3rd to Casey.

[@miguelcordova6636]

I listen this version of that awesome song many times! His performance was spectacular!!!

[@Evelyn-uo1rb]

I'd love to see/hear a duet, James and Adam Lambert, that would be heaven.

[@anthonyneri4235]

I would love that

[@Swtsrndr9]

OMG....James...I saw you perform this and actuallly had tears in my eyes. You did one helluva job with this song.....I like listening to it quite frequently...

[@windchimeisland]

Every single note he hits is his sweet spot. If he didn’t get a record deal, than there are no legitimate talent scouts out there.

[@lidirobinson7816]

he should have won American Idol!

[@gardengirl7446]

Glad he didn't! The AI contract is awful. Phillip Phillips had to sue to get out of it. James is still doing great on his own!

[@tanyasipes2389]

He was my favorite that year,! He has phenomenal range!

[@theresacarmen9557]

Holding strong as the best Idol performance to date still in 2023 ❤

[@kimmiecarlson299]

After watching the American Idol finale last night, I had to watch this video again. James, I'm just a normal child of the 70s, who's now a grandmother. And I want to tell you that this rendition of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow was my favorite performance of the ENTIRE 15 years of Idol. Thank you, and hope to see you on the East Coast sometime...

[@Queendurb]

+Kimmie Carlson Beautifully done , I so agree . James will always be my favorite Idol .. All his songs are on repeat forever :)

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

SEEN him 3 times in CT ..

[@juulio7641]

mid 40s?

[@WallyLinebarger]

Listening to this AMAZING performance - the best version of this Carole King masterpiece - in 2020, and I still get goosebumps. You slayed this, James.... wherever you are I hope you are blessed.

[@freecatbeme]

blows me away everytime i hear / play this. this kid was my neighbor and i didn't even know him. he is blessed and i hope he has a great life and his family of course.

[@blujay2084]

Watching as another season of American Idol starts in 2021 and browsing some of my favorite performances through the years. This one sure qualifies.

[@bigmack2262]

Still my favorite idol performance of all time.

[@helenepelletier894]

MINE TOO!!!!!

[@mariaelisabernal6147]

Excelente siempre!!!!❤

[@miguelcordova6636]

I hear this song over and over again... I really love it!!!

[@ljy82]

I love "lob" this song. I am gonna use this one as my opening number! Chilla

[@morriswilburn9858]

He really has pipes.

[@johnharrison3281]

Still my favorite james durbin performance along with uprising. In these two performances, he didn't sound like he was trying to be a rockstar and he sounded natural. And in this performance, you can see his mature side and melodramatic side. I feel like this is the true james durbin.

[@idifferfromyou2008]

9 years on and that first line still gives me shivers

[@freecatbeme]

the applause was the longest loudest I have EVER heard. THANK YOU JAMES.

[@kyler591]

one of the best renditions ever by anyone ,,,,period

[@blujay2084]

Let's give it up for the band, too.

[@crystalhughson3715]

I listened to this song as a kid and loved it but this version is by far the best version EVER!

[@hermajestyqueenmarcia]

I hope he has continued on this path of expression..james, you are the very best at helping me feel the message here..what a perfect rendition of a timeless plea..love is never what we believe it to be. May your tonights be your forever ..always.💗

[@robertsmithii6947]

Last I heard he was the new front man of Quiet Riot

[@lindaberg1695]

WOW!!!! THUD!! Fantastic!

[@valwoodford9877]

Oh my god. 12 years ago I was just awaiting your winning speech. James Durbin, this is just as powerful now as it was then. So glad you posted this memory. You rock all the genres and turn them into masterpieces. 'Will you still love me tomorrow' ....outstanding performance. Have you recorded this song in recent years?

[@freecatbeme]

i bet james could sing UNCHAINED MELODY VERY NICELY ! HE HITS THOSE HIGH HIGH NOTES LIKE NO ONE ELSE.

[@HistoryandHeadlines]

One of my favorite performances on this show!

[@katiesmythe4944]

I'm kind of a motown purist and it's hard, really hard, to get me to appreciate any cover or alteration of the originals. This performance is amazing. The Shirelles would be proud of him. Fantastic!

[@tommanee]

My all time favorite song ❤

[@jx14aby]

Man that guy can sing!

[@joanneswann4967]

Still love watching and listening to him sing this plus his other songs, he should of won just brilliant

[@heyheytaytay]

FINALLY I find a guy's cover of this song I actually like. I feel like it's a sadder song than he made it out to be but he still nailed it. Chills.

[@marychapman4555]

Gotta love this 😀 💜💜 even after all these years!

[@elle88263]

Still my favourite version of this song

[@helenepelletier894]

My ALL TIME FAVORITE AI PERFORMANCE!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@jamespachuau8729]

the best idol contestant i've ever seen...james you beuty...

[@freecatbeme]

Tyler is blown away, as they all are and me too and you too !

[@freecatbeme]

THIS SONG HIS VOICE BLOWS ME AWAY !

[@htarceno]

I have TS. He is inspirational to me.

[@bigtommy9715]

This is still in my opinion top 3 American idol seasons of all time

[@veryizon4681]

Gives me CHILLS! Oh that voice..from the soul

[@gardengirl7446]

MAGNIFICENT vocal

[@foxygirl29303]

Love this...never get tired of listening.....He covers this one great!!

[@freecatbeme]

so my friends says, in like 07 'there's this kid playing up in the mountains (which were 10 mins from home. you have to go see him...but no..i was actually too depressed...well I saw him on Idol. holy crap ! don't get no better than that. he is a beautiful person with a close family...awesome voice...blows my mind when I hear him sing like this...you should hear when he sing the national anthem a long time ago at santa cruz high school before a game...he was GREAT back then...man oh man...

[@megnornoo6971]

What a voice! ❤️

[@hayescarll5324]

Thanks for your love ❤️ and support

[@gusjet1]

this a old song , it was popular in1962 and you do a great job with it,nice rendition, time for a re-release after 60 years, it needs to come back. give it a try.

[@mary11976]

Still one of my fav AI performers. Him and Lambert. #Talent #Style

[@amandacarvalho9518]

2021 loving it! From Brazil!

[@balla2KKim]

Great voice!!

[@tammy59ful]

All of James songs were inredredily unreal,, but when he went ""out"" on his own, and did his "own" WAY like with acoutistic guiatar, etc. he got lost somethere, cux he blew it way in all the songs he did each oh his own while there, TRUE ARTISTIC,GENOUS, keep playing James, we love you!

[@4lucyinthesky]

Well done.

[@sandmarfield]

He did an amazing job with Carole Kings "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" I'm sure she was pleased

[@colinhockin344]

GREAT

[@freecatbeme]

he was my neighbor and I didn't know it. a friend said to me 'hey there's this kid who is playing in the mtns. he's REALLY good. well I didn't go. he played all the time. then I see this on Idol. speechless. just beautiful.

Awesome Rendition, maybe better than the original? Just great!

[@freecatbeme]

yes as good as it gets. better than ck.

[@magburner]

Not better than Carol King version. Do not be silly.

[@marcosmathi-251]

Extraño esos cantantes rockeros

[@lnicole2504]

His voice reminds me so much of Adam Lambert.

[@jaym8094]

I've seen Adam live front Queen he's good, but for me James is the better, his voice has a rawness to it I love.

[@NorthwoodsWi]

I WISH I could find this on iTunes!!

[@hayescarll5324]

Thanks for your love ❤️ and support

[@gynack]

That spot lasted well over 2 minutes. I understood that they were supposed to be limited to 90 seconds. Still it was some performance.

[@joemana2271]

This season was both the first and the last time i watched american idol

[@Bandy1036]

His higher notes definitely have a touch Adam Lambert.

[@cborland9563]

No more American Idol for me when he didn’t win.

[@jaym8094]

James is an amazing singer, now it's 2021, watched this when on Idol 11 years ago! Wish he would have kept covering great songs like this, but instead chose to do his own heavy metal songs with his own band, which I'm not into. Received his first cd as a gift, but his band's hard core music overtook his amazng voice, couldn't even understand or hear what he was singing, a shame. Can't help but think if he'd stayed doing mainstream music, great songs like this one, he would have made it big, so I come here on you tube and listen to him when he was on Idol.

James, Scotty, & Lauren should’ve been the top 3 and Scotty & James should’ve been in the top 2

[@gynack]

k fan Scotty and Lauren above Haley? You must be joking! For the sheer number of outstanding performances, and also diversity of genres, Haley really deserved to be put even above James, brilliant though he was at times, and you don't even mention her. I would have put James above Scotty and Lauren though.

[@strawberryseason]

He's really good. How far did he go on the show?

james was not voted american idol because of his disabilities.....which should have been one of the reasons he won....overcoming these and being absolutely the most talented person they have EVER had on this show.....you know there was predjudice behind his losing and it wasn't the audience...we Loved Him...it was the producers....it wasn.t the squeaky clean,blue eyedgoody good boy fronting the American Idol definition........think about it...
