Straight Up (Paula Abdul cover)-Casey McCauley

[DarkHopeify]

You have a gorgeous voice, and I would love to hear more of this melancholy rock/Country sound from you. I personally would like to hear more of the raspy growl though. I have a request for Hotel California for your next cover

[DarkHopeify]

Or maybe a Johny Cash or Janis Joplin?

[pinup60]

there is a specific sound that u get with ur voice (like for example at 1:08) that is just amazing and very good to listen to!! I dont know if i expressed myself right, probably not, (english is not my first language) but u have a genuinely good voice!! post more videos.. :)

[schokomuffin931]

your voice sounds very rough! i love it!

[mshield31]

Excellent!! I loved it.. you should try for the X Factor.

[ausHOUSEMDfan]

Love it. Old school songs are always the best

[Tommiabamf]

You remind me Janis Joplin's voice doing a cover. Nice job

[clxscrappy]

YOU FORGOT THE BEST PART!!! OH OH OH

[Cupryan]

Oh mty gos excellent voice , i love it.

[dreamsfantasy44]

I absolutely love what you've done with this song. When I decided I must learn how to play this song, I was psyched to model myself after you. Sadly, I sound nowhere as great as you, but it's still damn fun to play. Definitely a guilty pleasure song! :) Your sound is great. Great voice. Great player. Thank you.

[TheSuperWeird1]

I've seen other covers of this song, and yours is by far my favorite.

[NathalieOfficiel]

Bravoooooo!!!



[UnitedNationBand]

[erikjoao1]

[StrickJay]

sweet cover check ours out "straight up acoustic my dudes band"

[DullTorpor]

As I thought, this is a better song with a better voice singing it.

[petejohnson513]

Ha!, 2 people smoke crack and surf youtube....

[beyond2012Prechtel]

I really like that version as well. Great job! A song from my childhood too when I was really digging this girl named Maria K! You rock!

[mccauley1978]

Thanks to everyone for all of the comments! Just wanted to play a song from my childhood. Who knew this song would even be "popular" again? Was pretty funny when I saw this song played on American Idol. Yikes, showing my age a bit? Again, I appreciate the views and responses.

[KimberleeMegan]

This is soo awesome!!

[santidipp]

this sounds like the original song, paula abdul's song, Andrew Garcia's is very different, and i think is better, but that's just my opinion, she's great too tought, no one can say that andrew copied her, or that she copied andrew they have very different sound, and anyone who says sound the same is just Dumb, and go watch movies because they don't know a thing about music!...

[tysonxu]

holy cow u sound so good o-o and ur guitar is awesome wat is it O_O

[guitarristasean]

THAT was fucking awesome! You are fantastic!

[yourbloodmygun]

damn! That was awesome!

[lawschoolpro]

I think it says something about the state of music and creativity in the world right now when were covering songs that werent good to begin with. I like garcia's sound but in the end hes a cover guy changing tunes around....wheres the creativity people.....we need another nirvana. weve been in a pop bubble for nearly 10 years now.

[santidipp]

@lawschoolpro You can't say that.... The point of american idol is making the performes sing covers, because it is very difficult to make songs your own style, and improve them at the same time, besides you don't know if andrew garcia writes songs, besides Nirvana was good, but there is no way Court Cobain's vocals compare to Anyone who's been in american idol, NO WAY, he just sang Horrible, it sounded a little good for his type of music but in the end he just couldn't sing well

[altyere]

i like this, you got more agression to it..hot shit babe

[omgitsrebeccab]

not as good as andrew garcia but still pretty good.

[MrBronxbomber81]

That was bitchin'

[aznprincess0310]

runs circles over any other version......Andrew Garcia is a frikkin' BITER!!!

[ccbikeryder]

lol r u kidding me? get over yourself.

[Sassy2525]

You are a very talented young woman!!! This song version is awesome! More melancholy and bluesy than the perky Paula version. And I like that you really put emotion behind it, vs the million other renditions on the internet that all sound the same and soulless... Keep up the good work!!

[1waterfall1]

wow you play amazing! not to mention your singing your really truly talented!

[ayashadini]

whoa,nice one gal!!!

[zunnoab]

Very nice!

[pilimi1]

I love it! <3

[zubexcube]

Awesome! could you please post your strumming pattern? :)

[citrisfruits]

awesome cover love it

[datlil0ne]

Anyone who does an acoustic cover on this may sound similar DUH because they're using a different guitar take on the song. Andrew Garcia didn't copy ALL of these acoustic covers, GET OVER IT people. Sorry, it just makes me mad that people can't just accept a talent when it's there. He changed parts where he felt necessary and honestly I think it made for a better cover than this one.

Anyone who has a rock sound and does an acoustic cover WILL sound somewhat similar. People are ridiculous!

[ham111111111111]

Hey, is it possible you can make this into a download for me?(: your amazing and i'd really appriciate it. please send me a message back. thanks.(:

[s33thr3w]

great cover!!! that was really pleasing to listen to

[difficlty]

that guy from american idol stole your idea mannnn

[Yalquzaq87]

@difficlty you cant really say this, nobody can be sure of this, and there is some difference between the way he covered and the way this lady has done, I do however realize that they do resemble one another in some way, both of em are awesome!

[BowedOak1]

then did she steal the other umpteen acoustic versions done years before she put this one up?

[emmkay89]

you,

are reallllly good.

[tjajcj1]

Didn't know there were many acoustic covers of this song. This is definitely one of the best ones out there.

[Rach40]

Love it!

[hilllydia17]

This is amazing. My names Lydia, I saw you at the Elks fest this year. I'm the one who sung with Steve Cirqua and his band, The Crossroads...you probably don't remember me. But I really loved your singing:]

[NinaDelgado91]

You're really at singing :)
