American
Idol
judges
Randy
Jackson,
Steven
Tyler
and
Jennifer
Lopez
looked
shocked
and
upset
when
host
Ryan
Seacrest
announced
the
elimination
of
James
Durbin,
who
was
their
favourite.
And
when
it
was
time
for
the
22-year-old
singer
to
pack
off,
Jennifer
Lopez
couldn"t
hold
back
her
tears.
Jennifer
Lopez
was
in
tears
as
she
bid
adieu
to
James
Durbin,
giving
him
a
standing
ovation.
James
was
also
in
tears
as
he
said,
“Man,
I
worked
so
damn
hard
to
get
here.
And
...
God,
I
was
really
hoping
to
get
there,
but
I
had
a
feeling
today.
...
I
did
so
much
stuff
that's
never
been
done
on
this
show
before.
...
In
my
eyes,
in
my
mind
and
what
I
believe
is
that
I
did
what
I
came
here
to
do,
and
that
was
to
give
metal
a
chance."
He
took
to
the
stage
one
last
time
by
singing
Paul
Mccartney's
track
“Maybe
I'm
Amazed".
He
thanked
the
audience
for
being
so
good
to
him.
His
departure
has
now
left
Scott
McCreery,
Lauren
Alaina
and
Haley
Reinhart
in
the
fray
for
the
American
Idol
title.
