American Idol: Adam Lambert, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin Daughtry Set to Perform - John Brown - 02-28-2012
'American Idol': Adam Lambert, James Durbin, Daughtry Among Alums Slated to Perform This Season (Exclusive)
Joining the trifecta of rockers on the season 11 schedule: last year's runner-up and newly minted country star Lauren Alaina.
In a tradition that goes back almost as long as American Idol has been on the air, several fan favorites from seasons past will perform on the show this year as a new group of hopefuls look on and marvel at their potential future.
Among the alums slated to appear are season 8's Adam Lambert, season 10 runner-up and newly minted country star Lauren Alaina and fourth place finalist James Durbin and season 5's Chris Daughtry, who will debut his new single from the album Break The Spell, "Outta My Head," on the March 15 episode.
Other than Daughtry, no word yet on dates or specific songs but each of the beloved Idol grads have albums to promote -- Alaina is still working her debut, Wildflower, which has sold 248,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan; Durbin's Memories of a Beautiful Disaster is also performing well, having moved 92,000 albums since its November release.
Lambert is gearing up for his highly anticipated second album, Trespassing, currently slated for a Spring release.
Which alum are you most excited about and who else from Idol past should make a return visit? Let us know below.

A lot of fans of Adam and James in the comments.
Quote:James Durbin!!!!
I"m hoping for a new single to promote by then. With James recent announcement he's a spokeman for the WWE's anti-bullying campaign, "Outcast" would be a perfect fit for a new single.
An Idol appearance performing the song would be a great opportunity to promote not only James' great album, but also the campaign and bring focus to this ongoing national problem.
I find the marketing of James interesting. He's the poster child of American Idol. He's the Idol who has Tourette's and Asperger's who was bullied as a child.
Yet last year he said,
Quote:"I have Tourette's and Asperger's, but Tourette's and Asperger's don't have me," Durbin, 22, said in an "Idol" interview earlier this season. "I'm doing what I can to suppress it. It's not who I am."
I understand his story resonated with a lot of people and he feels an obligation to respond/help others going through what he did, but it seems his story is taking the focus off his music.

That's a good point. It is like getting typecast by your back story and having it overshadow everything. Much of the metal world strikes me as an aggressive "in-your-face" reaction to feeling victimized and alienated. Being a victim is one thing, but does James bring the rest of it? Iggy Pop can play Idol in the twilight of this career, but I'm not so sure you can start there and pursue the genre. Unless maybe you trashed the place and got kicked off by Nigel early in the live shows after doing a couple great performances.
BTW, Here's a cover of the GnR (they're a little metal aren't they?) song, Paradise. Pat's in a "metal mood" but
.
It doesn't always work.

Oh, glam, not metal. James is to eager to put himself in a box.
