The guy's got a lot of power and great range he really nailed the ending. I'm hoping his new CD will be great. I haven't heard any sneak previews yet.

I really like it & will be buying his cd.

Women will buy anything....

I'd rather listen to Dick Durbin sings Adele, than this AI reject.....

Would you rather listen to Justin Bieber?

I'll listen to the album - I hope there are better tracks than this. Interesting individual that JD

stand up is available on itunes as well as love me bad which sounds like a mash up of daughtry and adam lambert

LAME!!! what is with the army of Diane Warren song-writing clones lined up with these X-Factor/American Idol contestants...

With James living with Tourettes and Aspergers all you can say is WOW what a talent. His wife and little boy are darling. This guy is serious music and I wish him a long career. Next to Lambert he has a powerful voice. I will buy.

I bet he would go for Justin Bieber

I think James definitely has the talent. The guys in Iron Maiden are certainly impressed with him. But I'm afraid that the AI producers are going to just dump these formula songs on him and he'll loose his edge. I'd rather see him create his own band and write his own music. James needs to follow his own path. Does anyone know if he wrote any of the songs off the new CD?

Thanks I'll definitely check it out!

I can't say that I like this song. However, James is clearly a great vocal talent. He needs to find himself in a good band that will develop his raw vocals into something that can set the world on fire. The potential is there, the guy has great pipes. Let's hope he can tap into what is necessary to succeed. This isn't what I'd call the right direction. James has the capability though, there is no doubt.
