Hmmm not too fond of songs like this that are made for concerts. It's a but dull but he has a great voice.

Good voice, but this is corny as hell. Wind Up have a really inconsistent record with radio, aswell, so I'm not convinced that they're gonna give this their full backing.

It's the kinda song someone would write if they were trying desperately to be "Rock", but only knew the clichés of Rock music. I expected better from his performances on AI.

Love this guy. Was wondering when we'd hear about him. He really should've won idol.
I don't think the song is terrible, but it is slightly generic. At least he's geared toward rock unlike the terribly overrated Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina (sp?).
Excited to hear the debut album. Hopefully it's like David Cook's (first, I didn't really enjoy his 2nd as much) with a bit more edge.

Good voice, but this is corny as hell. My thoughts exactly. |

Don't think too many people would have put money on him actually charting. Third Idol to chart here (I'm being cheeky and including Danny from Hollywood Undead ;))
Also, I'm disappointed that he's managed to chart here after Daughtry's far superior single flopped. I guess Durbin is benefiting from having no Pop cred.

Daughtry's song isn't that great, but it absolutely slaughters this.

James is great as always.. But really James should make a single of that song I'll Be There For You.. It was so amazing! James really should have won... (=
