Casey Abrams - Smells Like Teen Spirit [iTunes Version]

[MrLuchoGabaldon]

Yeah! You've done it again, Casey. You're one-of-a-kind artist/singer! Your voice is fantastic! :D

[RushtonKierraJordan]

Okay, relax.

I'm a Nirvana fan, but it's just not Casey's style; he likes jazz, and it's not like he's trying to steal anything away from Cobain, he's just singing. At least Casey's musically talented.

As long as Justin Beiber doesn't try it...

[jena9956]

@RushtonKierraJordan Ik, we all saw what happened when Miley Cyrus tried to sing something good...

Stupid whore... -__-

This wasn't Casey's best preformence, but it wasn't bad either.

[cenikasa]

why do i have to buy this song in itunes, when i can listen it to youtube? i noticed that so many ppl are buying it, and idk why o.O

[zlzFUNNYMANzlz]

its much better than the live version on idol...... Much better

[ZegLicker]

11 ppl dont smell like teen spirit

[gcrocks4eva]

R.I.P Kurt Cobain once again, for having your song heinously murdered by a howler.. Seriously Casey, leave him alone... props for the gallant effort but this performance is grisly..

[KeThDy]

Fuck, Nirvana shouldn't be covered this way, it's disgraceful, especially in collaboration with some cheesy show like "Idol"

[ro19911]

It's to easy to understand the lyrics, so its not as good as the original.

[JasonCastroFan797]

I think he's adorable and I absolutely loved this!

[papatrichs]

I like Casey but he won't bring Kurt back to life with this rendition. Man got balls though. If I where him I would re-arranged it to something more jazzy feel. Felt like Weird Al singing...

[797britt]

He can not do nirvana that good.

[zenadarelover]

I love his fucking beard!! Damn sexy!

[paleblack1989]

Hello, hello, hello. ^_^

[Meloera]

He is a bit flat in this recording. That's too bad.

[janelleshinliang]

@TrickyEddy8 you suck!! not casey!!

[sunrise3447]

It's amazing

[ElMariposo1]

Not his best.....

[hustlergalore]

if casey made a toned down version of teen spirit. that would be fantastic. he is at his best if he uses that soothing voice of his.

[shinynickel87]

Fail.

[TheAnita99]

Casey is so smart I f you don´t get him you are blinded by the machine!

You go Casey all the way!

[seventeenboi]

trash

[TheGamblersCousin]

I cant believe the judges didn't like it. I love Csey and I thought this was the absolute shit, Keep rocking boy!

[chad026fun665]

@TheGamblersCousin Actually Randy and Steve loved it! Its only JLo who doesn't like the screams. But for me I love Casey's voice even if he is screaming. :)

[BroudbrunMusicMerge]

Okay, a friend of mine called him a "demonic Irishman"...

I don't care. If you can sing this song on American Idol and get away with it... You're amazing.

[themarcshark]

i love it?

[davcooklover]

I definitely agreed with Jennifer about how parts of it are screamy when Kurt Cobain's version, they're not. Just the way he sings isn't screamy, but Casey screamed them. Still in L-O-V-E with Casey though! Nothing could change that!

[babyinblack]

it's the only thing he's done so far i haven't liked :( I'm a huge fan and would vote for him anyway (since I'm in Canada, I can't vote :( ) but next week he's gotta do what he does best! I know he wanted to show his versatility but this isn't something he'd release as a single or even put on his album sooo he shouldn't have done it! I mean Casey is NOT grunge rock! He's more unique than that...

[StoopidM0nkey23]

It's way better than most covers of the song that I've heard. Normally when people cover Nirvana they try to copy Cobain's raspy sounding voice, which gets annoying. This had originality. I think it's pretty good actually.

[hawkiye]

Well if you're looking for karaoke version of the tune this isn't it. It is Casey's interpretation of the song. I liked it, I thought he did well he was feeling it and had fun. There is more to a song then just playing the jukebox version over and over.

The arranger of the notes does not own the melody he just brought them to earth and arranged them how he interpreted them, others can interpret them too. I like his passion and how he put his jazz signature on it with the horns but stayed true.

[rubberduck1810]

Wow the studio version is sooo much better than the live one! He's still far and away my fav, but last night was disappointing :(

[rjclothing]

No joke- he rapped this poor song :(

Kurt's rolling in his grave right now.

[SosOBadass]

@rjclothing he wasn't rapping at all, my dear. there is no rapping on american idol.

(i am aware u meant "raped". but, come on. like im gonna just pass something like that up!)

[rjclothing]

@SosOBadass Raped*; excuse me. It is St.Patrick's Day!

[SosOBadass]

@rjclothing ok, ill forgive ur technical hate comment cuz ur reply made me laugh! XD

[rjclothing]

@SosOBadass Whew! Now I can live with myself again!

[SosOBadass]

@rjclothing hey, im just kidding here. i was just trying to get accross that, although i didnt apporove of wat u said, i didnt care cuz ur reply amused me. im aware wat i thought didnt really affect u at all.

but i am glad this whole little exchange has been relatively light-hearted. :)

[rjclothing]

@SosOBadass all in good fun, luv  ;)

[AmericanIdolHead]

Well, THAT happened LOL. I'll take this over any of the treacly crap Thia and Karen sing every week but at the same time I think this the kind of cover that I wouldn't be surprised Kurt Cobain pictured in his head before he took a shotgun to it and killed himself. Still love Casey though.
