Beautifully So. I cannot stop appreciating this stellar vocal ....never will. Who's with me in 2019 ??

8 years later and i’m still pissed he lost. He should’ve won.

I thought he was going to win that year. I think about this song every once in a while. Had to look him up. Awesome.

6 years later and i still get chills from his voice

Fast foreward 9 years and this song pretty much fits in with our society at the moment!!! I remember watching this ,and I loved it!!!

The man who paved the way, prepared the judges and the audience, for Adam Lambert. I still come back here so many years later to listen to this.

i'm in love with the ''COMMOOOOOOOOON!!!!''

i have no idea why but this performance just flashed in my head and i needed to find it...

I'm an old goat. I grew up on damn good music. This performance is "one of" my favorites of all time, and that includes hours of Woodstock footage type stuff. He just nailed the hell out of it.

Best performance of the night? Try best performance of the entire shows seasons combined

He was so amazing and when he went out everyone was so surprised. He should have won

Should have won !!!!!!! Awesome performance. Stopped watching American Idol after he lost.

2023 gonna be approaching 2024 soon. Still jamming to this. I understand Muse has their version of Uprising but man just the spin James puts on of his own. He uses the proper vocals but then adds that heavy metal scream making it into his style. I jut loved that. I felt it worked perfectly with the song. I don’t know if I’ll get any flack for this but I prefer this version over the original. The original is awesome too. But man this one. Love. Love the fact James is still busy and still making music. The day I’m making this is Christmas Eve so merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. Ahhh heck. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all of you.

Love him Great talent!

I love how Randy says "I've got a question for you"....and then never asks the question.

I stopped watching American Idol when James didn't won.

Its the year 2021 and I still love this ♥️

I can't even listen to the old version of the song lol

Still sad that James didn’t won AI!

finally a good video

Steven Tyler: You stay out of my closet now! Storm troopers on melrose right? You'd be surprise how expensive to cost to look this cheap. Steven Tyler's Said the most hilarious things I've never heard come out of his mouth.

Finally someone on American got talent

AMAZING!!!!!!

He killed it that's song Matt bellmeon is that's lead singer

this night belonged to him. *Haley does rolling in the deep. AAAANNNNDDD its gone... XD But this was a great performance

When I was a little kid I had a microphone in my hand and using my hand to act like a star singer this is very nostalgic

He should have sung ballroom blitz! The competition would have been over!

my brother is practicly in love with this song! me to(:

i remeber when i thought that he was going to be first but then when he got to the bottom to i new he should not have and he should have won

Who is still here in 2021?

10 years later and still thinking why that Scotty win the season

This season is my most favorite but also the most disappointing

James and Haley were MILES above Scotty and Lauren. The showrunners were more comfortable with mediocre talent winning.

If only the right manager had decided to back him. What could have been. What a tragedy.

"That's probably the highest note we've ever heard on the whole show!" You obviously didn't hear Kelly Clarkson's Natural Woman note.

what is this ? thats disturbing o.o on so many levels

You wish you were matt -_-

James Durbin was robbed of Winning.
