Season 10 Finale: James and Jacob Get Their Dream Duets

8:10 We’re back…Ryan intros James Durbin to perform with Judas Priest…They put James first? Huh? I would’ve thought they would’ve saved that one…They’re looking old, but they sound good…The song is “Living After Midnight”…James nailed his scream…James really needs to front a band instead of going solo…Maybe they put them first since there’s so much fire on the stage…Now they’re doing “Breaking the Law”…Now there’s sirens…Man, that Rob Halford can seriously scream…

8:14 Ryan plugs the Judas Priest farewell tour that starts in June...James is still trying to talk to the audience but they turned off his microphone…Ryan intros some sort of tribute to the judges…It’s a video of Randy’s soundbites from the season…They’re making fun of how many times he said, “What is this?” “What kind of show is this?”…Uh-oh. They just showed Allen Lewis and his chocolate comment again. He says that was edited that way…Now they’re making fun of “in it to win it”…Randy stands for the audience…

8:17 Ryan intros Jacob with Kirk Franklin doing “I Smile”…Gladys Knight comes out…She’s always at this thing, isn’t she?...Chris Daughtry just tweeted that he’s watching the finale. I guess that means I won’t get the Santana/Chris performance of “Photograph” I wanted…Kirk talks about the storms while a Red Cross graphic comes on the screen…Gospel choir…That was great…Ryan plugs Gladys’ show in Vegas…After the break…
