Jennifer Lopez thought it was amazing, and proclaimed this would be theatrically the best performance of the night. Steven Tyler told James to not rob his wardrobe and thought the performance was crazy good in the T-Rex direction. Blah. Randy Jackson thought it was unbelievably good.

American Idol James Durbin NO Adam Lambert 2.0

I thought that was a bit pitchy. James continues to rock the competition. He knows the steps he has to take to win this. And I’m afraid Adam Lambert 2.0 ends up winning this competition as some sort of revenge. That was not James best performance, but it certainly was entertaining.
