James Durbin, was voted off of American Idol 2011. He like Daughtry before him made it to #4. He was unique, talented and we really like him. I feel that with his talent, he should still be successful. James, do not let this get you down, keep reaching for the brass ring and you will indeed be successful. He is the first person on the autism Spectrum to make it on Idol and the first heavy medalist as well. We are proud of his accomplishments so far and expect great things in the future, so do not let us and your other fans down, and make it big and help the autism community as well.
Here is a snippet from Bill Board as well on the same subject:
In “American Idol’s” biggest shocker since Pia Toscano was eliminated five weeks ago, rocker James Durbin was sent packing on the elimination episode tonight (May 12). Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Haley Reinhart remain and make up season 10’s top three contestants.
James, who performed “Don’t Stop Believin'” and “Love Potion No. 9” under Lady Gaga’s tutelage on last night’s episode, appeared stunned when host Ryan Seacrest revealed that Scotty was safe and that the rocker was eliminated.

We were all shocked at his being voted off, I was thinking Hailey would be next. I think that Scotty and Loren will be the final 2. It is hard to say who will come out on top. I like all 3 of them, but would have preferred James.
