With respect, I disagree. We didn't see all the 147 contestants, in other than in a possible group shot (where they wandered around the stage in wonder). BEfore the live rounds, we saw maybe 50 people altogether.
People can, and are, edited completely out in Hollywood week. Remember Lacey Brown from season 9? She advanced in S8 till the final "rooms of doom" round, but for her whole "journey", we se a half a second of her, in the background of the persons being shot. James could have advanced till the second day, even through group rounds, and been completely edited out. I'm not saying that he was, only that it's possible.
I also don't think that it's a valid argument to say that if there would have been a "rocker vs. rocker" situation, it would have been televised and because it wasn't shown, it mustn't have happened. It could have, and still not be televised, as it probably wouldn't have sat well in their plot of "Christian values versus new, edgy & scary".
I do agree with you that if Adam and James would have met/seen each other during Hollywood (even sitting in the audience, watching as the other contestants perform), they would have probably said something. Or rather, James would have said something. Adam has no reasons for reminiscing who else were there with him before the top 13.
They are all in the group shot -- but perhaps James missed it and was backstage.
Hollywood week is broadcast and we saw video of all the Top 72 contestants. James was not in the Round 2. (Check the video -- they showed them all in their 4 group rooms being nervous.)
For Round #3 -- when Adam sang "Believe" he was paired with Matt Giraud. Both advanced.
That only leave one round that could have involved James -- Round 1 when there were 147 contestants. He would have to have been in the first 40 cut -- because we know the 107 who made the second part of round 1. And many of the first 40 were shown.
Round 1 is only one missing Adam performance from Idol -- most were groups of 8 singers. But some were head-to-head. We just know that the producers decided not to broadcast it and just passed Adam on to the next round.
So IF James was the singer that was paired with Adam....we have to believe that:
Adam singing vs. James was boring -- I think this is almost impossible to believe.
We also have to believe that -----
The producers put Adam in a Round 1 head-to-head vs. group of 8.
James never mentioned he got to Hollywood on AI8.
James never mentioned he met Adam before the AI10 Adam performance show.
Adam never mentioned meeting James before.
That when James said he auditioned for Season 8 but did not make it. He actually meant he only made it to Hollywood Week.
And -- and this is the most difficult to believe -- the Idol producers had tape of 19 year old James Durbin singing head-to-head vs. Adam and they never chose to show it on AI10.
Way too many IFs involved in this for me. But I will add my own --- IF 19 year old James was on stage with Adam in Round 1 of Hollywood week, and IF it was still a secret, and IF we saw the tape, Adam and James would have both made it through to the Top 72.
Q3
We have a tiny bit of Round 1 from Hollywood this one
and in the first seconds of this one
