true HD James Durbin "Heavy Metal" Top 8 American Idol 2011 (Apr 13)

[@jeric281]

Goosebumps! James Durbin presenting Zakk like it's Zakk's own show! Just wow! This was probably the last time I watched American Idol. I was in college back then.

[@carolyncorcoran3]

I will never get tired of watching this video!! You are beyond awesome Durbin!! Keep Rock'in on man!!

[@gardengirl7446]

Same 100%

[@AlllieBow]

One of my favorite Idol performances ever. So wanted him to win.

[@JacktheHeroHeart]

Zakk kills it !!!

[@pebuh6706]

This performance got me into animation. I learned there was an adult animated movie with this song in it and it kicked off after that

[@rs.v.4025]

Just look at 1.20.. Steven Tyler doesn't even pay attention to Durbin, he just stares at real metal God Zakk :)

[@ZiggyTheAdventurer]

[@bagas4466]

[@AlllieBow]

[@DamielBE]

Finland had Ari Koivunen, the US have James Durbin! he really brings some metal in a talent show more oriented to pop and I love it!

[@Annucc4]

In Finland he would be won this singing competition ;)

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

Better than the original!!

[@beast1022]

GOD... nevr knew this xisted... Mr. Zakk Wylde in person on AI S10... James can ROCK =)

[@sligen]

Still laugh every time I see the Audience try and clap to this. This isn't a song you can clap to people, throw out them horns and rock the fuck out.

[@seanmeehan6717]

Horns up!

[@Elspethknighterrant]

Chuck Norris,Pai Mei and Yoda undertook the perilous journey of climbing the mountain of Fujiyama in order to meditate and contemplate their martial arts. They knew Zakk Wylde was already waiting for them at the top. What they didnt know was that Zakk is a master of the Voice that could fus ro dah the fuck out of people with his godlike solos...

[@Diguinho277]

Zakk é um monstro!

[@sultanmamat7661]

[@kerivincent8234]

[@junyoungoh1917]

[@angierucker5505]

[@RIPJimmySullivanA7X]

@DamielBE and sweden erik gronwall ;)

[@JaKamps]

@TZOD45 he did! don't get in his way.

[@AlllieBow]

Why the heck wasn’t he the idol this year?

[@TransDrummer1312]

Marketability.

[@AlllieBow]

@@TransDrummer1312 he had such a good backstory as well. I’m glad he’s still doing music.

[@vidpie]

@@AlllieBow I think everyone who made the live shows that season is still doing music with the possible exception of Naima. It appears she's a fit and happy yoga instructor raising her two daughters. Thia appears to perform music live when an opportunity presents itself (did a gig earlier this year), but I don't think that she's grinding hard pursuing a music career. Jacob Lusk had a breathrough of sorts the last couple of years fronting a group called "Gabriels." He performed with Elton John at the Glastonbury Festival in June before 100,000+ people with another 7.3 million people watching on the BBC. He had a blast in a hot pink tuxedo. The Evening Standard: "Gabriels: the Elton-approved soul men creating a real buzz this summer Still fresh from joining Rocketman at Glastonbury we meet music’s most talked-about vocalist Jacob Lusk, along with his Gabriels bandmates Ari Balouzian and Ryan Hope"

[@AlllieBow]

@@vidpie that’s great news

[@ezekielstaaf4770]

Its a popularity contest whos the biggest pop star not whos the most talented.

[@thousandyardgavri2785]

Haley was my winner in s10 but cmon Scotty and Lauren doesn't even come close to this level

[@brettmeyer3321]

Zakk Wylde rules.

[@vance836]

It is too bad Durbin's music since he left Idol hasnt been nearly as good as this.

[@SpicyMojoBand]

I knew this song before American Idol!

[@megancoates4750]

How to keep people from coming in your room? Play heavy metal music..

[@RossHudsonMambo]

@TheOscar401 It's better! duh

[@goneflying140]

The ONLY good thing about this clip was Zakk Wylde... And maybe the background singers.

[@gardengirl7446]

Rude

[@johnnytoronado1037]

James got lucky Zack playedfor him no shit!!!!!!

[@hinjurock70]

Obviously, especially since Durbin is a dork who can't sing metal worth shit.

[@Co5taRica]

Lol Zakk stole the show from this kid. Sad to say.

[@johnnytoronado1037]

Zack eats Aerosmith for breakfast hahaha

[@evilbanjos5768]

Zak sold out man

[@Cajun-it3yf]

Zakk Wylde overdoing it as usual, and this kid is horrible. ONLY Sammy can do this song the justice it deserves. No wonder he lost American Idol.

[@olivier42100]

yeah but it wouldn't be ZW
