  • Listening to it on 2012! I Love this song specially that version!

  • I luvvvvvvvvvveee him he is a beautiful singer he shouldof been in the top two not Chrystal she sings awful

  • HIS VOICE IS SO ROMANTIC. EXCUSE ME. I GO TO GO TO THE OTHER ROOM. HE IS TEARING ME UP. WOW

  • Love ya Casey.

  • still listening to this in 2011

    just beautiful

  • כמעט טוב כמו ג'ון

  • fantastic cover. casey james hits every note perfectly in this one. soulful, and sensitive. the best from Casey James IMO

  • i love you....you always touch me with your voice...

  • i cant stop crying

    so much talent

  • hav a little word with yasel

  • The highlight of Idol season 2009

  • The highlight of Idol season 2009

  • Oh Dear God .. MELT Me ... Everytime I hear this song .. I melt ... I love Casey James ...

  • best version of this song i've heard

  • HOT! LOL

  • Sorry John Lennon, Casey's version much better than yours

  • I didnt want to hurt mha..I'm just jealous and insecure...waaaaaaahhh..now I lost you.goodbye mha.

  • of all performers that night, this cover was the only one that was better than the original. So hearfelt, I burst in tears.

  • 8 people accidentally clicked on Dislike

  • donnie hathaway would enjoy his song done well, having said that, its still his song . if you wanna be cool, do a great song of your own dude.

  • great version... thumbs up casey..

  • Those 8 people who voted against this song must be fans of Justin Bieber

  • i am affraid to tell this, i love the bealtes, and john lennon (they are like.. God) , but i think this version of jealous guy, is so much better than the original.. i dont know, sorry, its my opinion. thumbs up if you agree!

  • @Maguidoo

    I especially love the guitar arrangement. I'd never liked the song before I saw Casey perform it on American Idol.

  • @bcfan4u =O just like me x'D this guitar arrangement is awesome. i tried to play it and i cant figure it out. frustrating. but.. casy james is an awesome MUSICIAN indeed

  • @Maguidoo

    Yes, you're right. His guitar playing/arranging is inspiring. I also play guitar.

  • @Maguidoo I TOTALLY AGREE

  • @Maguidoo 1) why do people need thumbs up? is it validation or just curiosity to see if anyone actually agrees. I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I'm actually curious as to why, lol. 2) I agree. I like this version more and I usually like originals more than covers, but there's something about this cover that's just... perfect.

  • @jephybean hey! :) oh what, I actually got thumbs up. That was an year ago. When I thought that receiving thumbs up was cool. -.- ignore it LOL take care :D

  • Excellent cover! His voice reminds me of Daniel Johns from Silverchair! Anyone feels the same?!

  • I always hear this song on radio

  • he was my favo on American Idol...Im happy he was there in the Top-3 !

  • Casey, you're my American Idol babe.

  • i love him

  • amazing performance but I hate that glittering effect they added in this version it makes it sound less soulful and more like a miley cyrus performance lol...

  • Casey has true talent and will go far!

  • this was gavin degraws version, who's ian moore?

  • i love casey but lee is a super star casey is a rocking star compared to lee

  • @EllyAnneFernandez Lee cannot touch Casey for star quality, although Lee seems to be a nice guy. Casey and Bret were the high point of the finale and all else paled by comparison, and nothing that Lee, or anyone else, did can match "Jealous Guy"

  • Love Caey James. Think he is down to earth as well as an excellent artist.

  • god i love him.

  • just perfect

  • Not best, but top three performance.

  • God the judges must have been on crack or something. Compare this to anything Lee has done.  He is in another league. I love everything he has performed. He is a true artist of the highest calibre.

  • I love this song. I thought it was the best live act on idol I have see.But it was Ian Moore's version! Not a word! Not that much like Lennon's! Check out blue Sky and Satisfied. I thought casey should have won! Just say it......please

  • @findadoor tbh, this was great but I preferred "Don't" both great though, to each his own. I actually like Bryan Ferry covering this when he was with Roxy Music but then again that was the best age of music for me when I was young.

  • he is sooooooooo beautiful ; voice and looks

  • @jnshaley I can' wait to buy a Casey album and to hear his first single. When is Casey signing a record deal? Casey is a true star and one of a kind, like Elvis. He is also a wonderful human being. I listen to Casey's AI recordings every day as well as his performances on his trip to Texas. Such beautiful music, voice and spirit.

  • @puddya typo in my earlier post - should read( I "can't wait!)

  • definately his best performance ever, hell def be the next daughtry, he has mad talent voice and more so guitar... :)

  • this is gorgeousss even tho he was voted off i think he will have successfull solo career

  • Luvvviiinnn it! Been Casey fan since audition.

  • jus ...luv luv...luv....

  • Awesome... Casey has STAR quality!

  • Jealous Guy was one of my favourites of the whole season, Casey really has great talent and good looks too . I'm sure he has a wonderful career ahead of him. Hope he gets a record deal soon if he hasn't got one already. Go for it Casey!

  • Pretty epic.

    And it passed the test of time. Its been a while and i still am listening

    to this song alot and think its awesome - something i cant say

    about the other contestens's recordings. except from David cook he too had

    some very memorable stuff.

    So, Casey and his version of Jealous Guy rocks!

    and he plays the guitar very good as well.

  • and that's why i so love casey james..you're really fantastic casey..mwuahh..

  • We all love you, Casey! You should have been up there with Crystal! But you'll be a huge HUGE star! Thank you, Cara, for recognizing his talent at the audition!

  • I like this version very much!! I was impressed .

  • Lennon is smiling :)

  • Sweet Casey James ♥

  • Everytime I listen to the original version of this song, and listen to this afterwards, it reminds me how good and a musical genius Casey James is.

    It's really so perfect for him. :) I'm sure John Lennon would be so proud..

  • i'm waiting for casey to break away from the" idol" scene and record some original tracks... wont be long now... i hope... you should have won it all

  • Casey has a brilliant future - unlive the short messy looking guy that won - Casey has immense charm, gorgeous looks, amazing personality, he is sincere and very very gifted - He will be soon spoted by some producer in Hollywood to make a picture - Disney should grab him and benefit from this fabulous guy. Good Luck Casey, I love you man!!

  • The soulful Casey the true star of this season's Idol!

  • In all these years this show existed, I have NEVER downloaded any other song. When this came out, I had to have it. Fantastic recording. Can't wait to hear more of Casey's work.

  • He should've won American Idol!!!!!!!

  • you will do well in life - and this one hit home - and you may not even know when you hurt someone - try to stay balanced - it is attractive - VERY - more then your physical looks - beautiful song - and best rendition that I ever heard ever - number one hit - get it played and bought - amazing - and when you are old and ugly, my Mom would always say, make sure you are with someone you can talk to, love, and enjoy their company.

  • i love casey hes the best

  • love casey.....and love this song even more......

  • I hear alot of Eddie Vedder in his voice..Good thing I suppose.

  • I could only wish it was me whom he was singing this to. I would probably just DIE right away. haha:D

  • Casey is so fucking amazing, the other two sucked so bad on the last night...

  • The best rendition of this song EVER!!!! You made it YOU. You made it contemporary. You made it perfect!

  • Flawless. What a lucky lady, whoever she may be that you are singing this to. It came from deep within - you really connected with her and with the audience. You will make it out there in the music world - if that is what you want. Just bring more of what you brought during this performance and you can't lose...ever.

  • Definitely one of, or THE highlight of the season for me.

  • I love you casey james, if you read this jelouse guy was my fav of all season

  • Good Luck Casey, Please hang on to the dream, you have blessed all of us with your wonderful personality and your wonderful voice! I look forward to hearing more from you. Know you can do the type of music you want :-) Good Luck and God Bless

  • Casey = Total Hotness :)

  • ddnt like it in the beggining....but now that i listen to it.....wow!

  • Comment removed

  • @libraemm "CASEY, bring me good luck  and now I moved to the next level !!! and "CASEY, will shine!!!!!! god bless

  • love it! so emotional..

  • Casey so should have won cause Lee sucks and Crystal is too cocky now. I love Casey he's really talented plus he is hot

  • @EcstaticBeast11

    lol lee is better then casey, alot better

  • @MrSing4peace NO, he's not...he's pitchy, and his voice is just like any 'joe' on the radio...Casey--he's unique and will do very very well...

  • @MrSing4peace In your opinion finalist or not I find Lee constantly pitchy.

  • @GravitationalPull I can't stnad Lee at all... he always sound flat, and it should have been him that went home instead of casey

  • @keehret I agree 100%!!!!

  • CASEY JAMES is the best IDOL of any SEASON

  • i freaking adore him, he has mad vocals. america is crazy for sending him home, i was so pist yall shouldve sent lee home. i cant wait till casey come out with a cd

  • gave me chills!!!! marry me Casey hahahha

  • Love This Casey! Gave me chills!!! Can't stop playing it. Can't wait until Casey releases a CD.

  • LOVE THIS song and ARTist........also why can't we respect each singer.  Just because I prefer Casey doesn't mean I can't enjoy some of the others too and if I don't what good does it do anyone (them-me -us) to run down those I don't prefer. But then again American Idol loves fan-Wars---It's their hEARTbEAT

  • I can't beleive it didn't click until 10 seconds ago, but I now know who this guy resembles. Chad Kroeger. You can't tell me that Casey isn't Chad's Doppledanger.

  • boring show with out "CASEY next weeks

  • @uliwanb Couldn't agree more. Idol sucks more!

  • @GeckoFloor I agree. And Casey's vibrato gives the song its compelling quality. A lot of great singers have/had this vibrato including Dylan and Michael Jackson. So Casey- remain uninhibted and let it rip! You are so incredibly gifted, and a GREAT SINGER. I listen to this recording all of the time - it is pure genius - it is already A CLASSIC.

  • @uliwanb I agree 100%. love Casey, miss him already,but he will be HUGE! He might not have IDOL next to his name,but come on,everything about him screams American Idol! He is the real deal talent and star power he has it all. He had such stage presence and when he left, well there's no more reason for me to watch American Idol this year. Casey James was my favorite and I really think America got it wrong.

  • @libraemm I agree with you totally. Also, I beleive that American and the World loves Casey James. He is a true star in every way. Will we really ever have any validation as to how America actually voted? I know so many people who power voted for Casey in NYC and I would think that the entire state of Texas did the same thing! That alone would have been enough to put Casey over the top.

  • he's so much better a lot of the famous artists out there these days

  • The judges tried to make Casey into something he is not, and I thought he was uncomfortable with that, who wouldn't be? But take away the visual (not to say he isn't worth looking at), but just listen to the voice, what a unique tone... This young man has a promising career, and I hope he gets the chance he deserves.

    He sounds like Bob Seger. I would have liked to hear Casey sing NIGHT MOVES!

  • He is a great artist and a great person!

  • beautiful<3

  • I hope he comes out with an album too.

  • Casey have been eliminated but for me he's the best and still the Winner! People might not have seen the potentials of his talent to win but I believe he's going to make it big someday! We all love you Casey James!

  • this is the best performance by a male this year...HANDS DOWN...no performance of lee comes even close to this...his are just pure gimmicky and no talent at all...

    CRYSTAL FTW...casey should've been 2nd...if not only for the shameless pimping of lee...

  • @ja1207 I agree. I have no idea why everyone loves Lee so much. He has no personality and sounds like a blender.

  • I take it you have a video of yourself singing much better than Lee, right? Since you are so quick to call someone with an amazing voice names and all... All three are amazing and have great careers ahead of them. No need to put one down so much because you like another. Very childish!

    this was my fav. Casey performance of the season. Awesome vocal and passion!

    On that note...

    Lee will win and be the next American Idol... because he deserves to be!

  • @cnpenguin25 First off, there was nothing childish at all about my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. I don't like Lee's voice, and I didn't call him names. Frankly I don't think Casey's that great either. None of the contestants this season were.

  • @sphrkilo

    because his voice was made for recording, he has the best recording voice of anyone in the competation, maybe thats why everyone loves him :S ?

  • @MrSing4peace That's obviously subjective. His voice is grating to me, and he's really not a great performer. He always looks like he thinks he shouldn't be there.

  • @sphrkilo Then there are the final two (bouncing balls) who look like they definitely think they should be there - but who should not be there at all (unless we are looking for the highest level of mediocrity). It should have been Casey and Siobhan - the two most talented of the season.

  • { CCG1171 } YOUR, dirty RATE your life should belong in "PRISON,

  • amazing !

  • {CCG 1171 } you don't know CASEY, or better yet, just KEEP your mouth shut and listen for change

  • @ccg1171 It's people like you who give humanity a bad name.

  • @TheRutledgest Season four also showed wide discrepancies between phone logs and official tallies.

    I sought out comment from the first, and only confirmed legitimate winner of the contest, Kelly Clarkson. She refused to speak to me, but I cannot help but suspect she learned of this sham long before I did, and that is why she has refused to allow current contestants to perform her songs. She did not even thank the show in her acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards.

  • @puddya the below is a quote from an interviewer

  • @ccg1171 dickhead means ccg1171 :P

  • @ccg1171 I cannot believe they allowed your comment to be posted! You are NASTY! A true pervert to be using language like that. Did it cross your mind that young kids look at this stuff? Shame on you! Have a little respect for yoursef!

  • @ccg1171 you are Disgusting and Perveted! I can't believe your comment was posted. There are a lot of young people that look at this stuff shame on you! Have some respect for yourself will you?

  • @ccg1171 isn't that how you were made?

  • sorry didnt watch this year...the fact that kris beat adam was bs,rigged and no paula kinda ruined it 4 me..loved the show 4 years...i did watch the audition when he took off his shirt ,im stright but thought looked and sounded good.. really liked this song .great rendition .he'll do fine ..just look at adam . BTW who i cant stand now

  • Casey acted very classy tonight.Showed his personality during hometown visit. we all love wild handsome hearthrob musician,right?Job well done, Casey!

  • hmm...all I have to say is that Casey, your hot and you should have made it to the finals, but you're a winner anyways!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

    God Bless...

  • Best performance all season.

  • i love him so much, he actually didn't totally butcher this amazing lennon song<33333

  • Wow! He does such a beautiful job on this song... he sounds more relaxed and comfortable than when he has to sing live. He is so much better than people give him credit for..

  • @stellarlove21 I wonder if there is any way to check the accuracy of the votes. In any case - no more American Idol for me. This thing was so pimped by the judges, it was disgusting, and to watch Lee vs Crystal is just such a bore. I can't wait to see Casey in concert and to buy his first album.

  • Casey my American Idol NUMBER ONE!

  • Casey James now owns this song! Awsome...

  • just flicked the tv on and american idol was on.. never watch it.. never heard of this guy... but heard him singing and WOW. <3

  • I a gree a 100-percents

  • This is the BEST song don yet good luck Casey hope you make it to finale round

  • building him up,"SHE blasted him apart "AND, calling him "ABILLY goat, JUST outrageous

  • @uliwanb The judges remind me of the high school acting teachers who always try to stop the beautiful and talented student from realizing their dream because the teachers never made it. THEY ARE JUST SO DAMNED JEALOUS OF REAL TALENT AND GENIUS. Casey - America and the world loves you - get out there and be the star that you are. .The world is your stage. Let that light of yours shine and don't let the bastards get you down.

  • @puddya well said!!!

  • JUST outrageous got set up the BIG TIME

  • just outraageous "SET UP the TIME

  • "CASEY JAMES "will be fine WIN or not "WE love you stand behind you all the ways

  • @uliwanb Casey was set up BIG TIME with a horrible, boring song choice by Kara and Randy. (Hopefully, the American people voted him out of the box they trid to put him in). That said - Casey sang very well and LEE AND CRYSTAL WERE STILL PITCHY AND HIT BUM NOTES. PLEASE - NO SINGER WHO IS CONSISTENTLY PITCHY IS A GREAT SINGER. THEY LACK A MUSICAL EAR!! HELLO!! The favoritism on AI this season is approaching unethical proportions.

  • @puddya I just don't undersstand how those judges can hear Crystal hit bum notes and Lee sing off pitch and say that it is excellent? Either they have no real musical ear or they are lying through their teethe. I find it to be a desecration of what American Idol is supposed to be about - which is true musicianship. And Casey - you are a fabulous singer/artist and a true and highly gifted musician.

  • @puddya i agree with lee sing off pitch... but crystal does sound amazing man. it should have been casey vs. crystal i think..

  • Casey James Rules This Song. He should win. Hands down... Dewyze is NOT good at all.

  • VOTE FOR CASEY JAMES TONIGHT

  • I vote every week 4 casey too. n i've posted his pic on ma fbk's pro. how great voice!!

  • Awesome that he can introduce an old classic to a younger generation

  • I love this song. I've loved Casey from the beginning and I listen to this song over and over again!

  • He has an amazing tone. He should win!

  • Casey is COOL!!!!!

  • Casey's in the top three now. If you're a Casey James fan, please vote for him next Idol to get him into the top two. The top two finalists win $200,000, a new car, a record contract and a paid job singing on the Idols tour. So the coming vote night is critical. Power vote for Casey. Doesnt matter whether you like the songs the judges pick for him next vote night, we know from Jealous Guy, Dont, the Sinatra medleys, Mrs Robinson, and Really Love a Woman, he deserves to win.

  • @Katy7540 don't forget "Hold on, I'm coming!" :)

  • lee is my favorite, but this song is so beautiful! the emotion he put into it just gives me chills!

  • if i can vote i will always favor casey....he is so amazing...... am half way of the globe far........... jealous guy is the best

  • Simply wonderful!!!!

  • he sings horrible shoulda been elimnated a long time ago but its all the young girls that him for his looks not because of his voice

  • I am 41 years old and I vote for him every week. It is not for his looks, it's because he's good.

  • @slowlane68 I am almost 36, and I voted every week for Casey as well---he is a phenomenal talent.

  • @slowlane68 Yes, Casey is a phenomenal talent. Great voice with deep emotion, interpretation and nuance, and a brilliant guitarist. I listen to his version of "jealous guy" all of the time. Like Steve McQueen on a hot guitar! WHAT A STAR! ONE OF A KIND HAS COME OUR WAY!

  • Where can I found the album art of these singles? Please help me.

  • the problem with Casey is that i cant focus on his singing, because he is sooooooooo gorgeous!

  • Great singer, great guitarist! Can't wait for the album! I am a huge Beatle fan and this is a great John Lennon song. This version of Casey's makes the song even better! This guy should win - he has the most musicianship, but all remaining three are really fine! I'm glad they are the ones left. Americans got it right this time!

  • Great singer, great guitarist! Can't wait for the album! I am a huge Beatle fan and this is a great John Lennon song. This version of Casey's makes the song even better! This guy should win - he has the most musicianship, but all remaining three are really fine! I'm glad they are the ones left. Americans got it right this time!

  • In 1977, John sat in a suite in Tokyo and began singing and playing his old songs with his acoustic guitar. The gigantic hotel suite had lifts that arrived straight into the Lennon lounge. As John was playing "Jealous Guy" to himself, the lift doors opened and a Japanese couple — who had arrived on the wrong floor — walked out....

  • They sat and listened as John continued the song. Little did any of them know it, but this was to be John's last ever 'public' performance. They were the last two members of the general public to ever watch John Lennon perform a song.

  • Do you realize most of them do better if they don't win, because then they can be signed by a label that will let them do the music they should do.
