Hammertym3 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 James Durbin on American Idol just covered Uprising on American Idol. I thought it was sounding bad at first until he got to the final chorus, and sang the song in the upper octave! I was thoroughly impressed (Matt sang it in the upper octave on the studio album but has never done this live). Apparently also Matt emailed James and challenged him to sing the last chorus in the upper octave, which is probably the only reason he covered it. Will edit with links once it appears on YouTube. EDIT: Get it while it's fresh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3JtcGk5p7k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibelongtoyou4 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Did I just have a seizure or did everyone else cringe violently watching that too? I did. The ending was awful. I haven't been watching this season at all, but he seems very Adam Lambert to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tofu Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Am I a bad person for wishing he at least had the decency to sing the entire chorus an octave higher? I mean, you're making our ears bleed already, might as well go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrebleRose689 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The best part is, according to Randy, Matt e-mailed this guy personally and suggested that he do the last chorus an octave higher... Horrible advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz0_o Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 My brother called awhile ago and told me that some awful singer did a muse song he didn't know which one so I assumed it was feeling good but I guess not. Yeah 2012 is the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Singing an octave higher was definitely horrible advice! I hope Matt was joking. Or maybe he was trying to sabotage the guy to look good in comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paper tiger Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 James has to be the fakest "rocker" ever. so lame. i cringe every time he opens his mouth to "sing"... his voice is bad. not unique or interesting at all. the judges love him though. lol at him screeching.

If randy loves muse so much he would have been honest with him I'm done. i agree. i really miss having simon on the show. he's the only one who had balls enough to be honest with the contestants. i know simon would have laughed in his face after that performance.
