James Durbin has taken aim at Lady GaGa for trying to sexy-up his performance of 'Love Potion No. 9' performance on the show, insisting the encounter with the pop superstar was 'awkward'.

AceShowbiz - Lady GaGa was called in to mentor the final four contestants in the competition and showed up in heavy make-up, skimpy attire and shoes featuring glass penises as heels.
Her raunchy advice clearly upset James Durbin and Christian country singer Scotty McCreery - and the ousted wannabe has now spoken out about his brush with GaGa, admitting he felt her hands-on approach was over the top.
The "Poker Face" singer surprised the "American Idol" contestant when he refused to wiggle his hips like Elvis Presley, at her request, during a pres-show performance of the song by getting behind him, clutching his jeans and sensually weaving with him.
He tells Life & Style magazine, "I didn't like it. It was unexpected and very uncomfortable. To sum it up in one word: awkward!"
