James Durbin Comes Out Fighting on American Idol Wednesday
It was Elton John night in America's most popular karaoke competition. The video speaks for itself.
Santa Cruz American Idol contender James Durbin had his arena rock moment, doing the song by the once Captain Fantastic. The judges loved it. The fans loved it. Even the piano was hot for it.
On Thursday, two people will be eliminated from the Top 11, because the judges used their only pass to keep Casey Abrams last week.
Durbin rocked Elton, while most of the competition chose the Brown Dirt Cowboy's softer side.
