After auditioning and successfully making it past several rounds on “American Idol,” James Durbin is now a finalist on the highly popular TV singing competition.

The Santa Cruz rocker has wowed the judges with his passionate performances and wowed America even more with his personal story about living with Tourette Syndrome as well as Asperger’s.

James’ story has already created unprecedented national awareness of Tourette Syndrome. If he continues through to the top 10, to be announced March 24, he will be part of the highly popular nationwide tour, bringing him even more success and exposure and creating additional awareness of TS.

James’ next performance will be Wednesday, March 9, live on Fox, starting at 7 pm Central Time. For two hours immediately following the broadcast, viewers can vote for James in three different ways: by calling the toll-free number listed during the broadcast, by text message, and — for the first time this season — online. You can vote as often as you like by phone or text message; and up to 50 times online.

So don’t forget to tune in and watch James’ next performance and vote to help him advance to the next round.
