    I agree. James w/out guitar is much more entertaining.
    Justin seems like he has moves similar to Blake when playing, they complement each other well. Blake also seems like he’s doing ok on lead and backup vocals as well. (He’s definitely better on vocals than Dylan who couldn’t sing at all, lol)

    But I can’t believe the only song up on YouTube so far is LMB, lol.

    I hope this uploader isn’t on the “we can’t reveal the new songs” bandwagon!

  • justmefornow

    Lets hope.
    But James just tweeted this:

    James Durbin ?@DurbinRock
    Who’s coming to my show this Wednesday 20th at The Boardwalk in Sacramento/Orangevale???!!! So pumped to keep playing these new songs for u!

    …..How does his management not know he’s been performing some of the new ones? I don’t get it!

  • irockhard

    Maybe he’s doing this behind 19M’s back and they just don’t care? I wouldn’t be surprised they usually become useless during the sophomore era.

  • justmefornow

    Lol. If he’s planning on dumping them in a few months when his contract is up, maybe, who knows.
    Sometimes you have to grab the bull by the horns and manage yourself and your own career and not sit by and wait for others to do it for you.
    That being said, I wonder how Wind-up feels about this?

  • DragonFly

    Thought this was hilarious!! Sooo cute, James will probably enjoy the video if he sees it. Her LMB video of course brought out the “sing-a-long” version–but happy fans were knowing the words & singing with I guess.

  • roarpen

    OMG the one decent vid we get is of LMB with some girl singing totally out of tune while she is recording it. I am laughing and crying at the same time. *facepalm*
    This song has to to be the one, of all the songs on his album, that has the absolute worst translation to a live setting. He has a beautiful voice, but on this he always sounds off. It should not be allowed!!! Kill this song for good!!!!

  • justmefornow

    That’s exactly why I laughed too when this was the only song uploaded so far.
    You can even tell James is sick of singing it. It’s like the beast that won’t die, lol.

  • irockhard

    @durbinrock fans. If you got videos of his new songs then UPLOAD THEM. He told me you can, I asked him. NOW DO IT!!!!!!— irockhard (@jamesdrocks) March 18, 2013

    Now we should get vids of the new songs!

  • justmefornow

    LOL I don’t think that’s going to work. Look at the one song that was uploaded. That should tell you something right there.
    These are pretty young, mostly clueless kids.

    My hope is still with Keith (Don’t let us down!)

  • irockhard

    LOL ITA. I have absolutely no patience for LMB anymore.

  • irockhard

    Someone gotta tell him that he’s allowed to film the new songs.

  • standtotheright

    He changed management last year. That changed a lot of things about his promotion.

    I would never attribute an accident to Fate, nor do I think this changed anything about him as a performer.

  • irockhard

    Crap recording of Not Alone, that song he first debuted at the Kennedy Center:

    It sorta sounds like a U2 song and features his falsetto in the last chorus.
