Casey Abrams - Have You Ever Seen The Rain - American Idol 2011 Top 9 (Rock & Roll Week) (HQ)

[MrJonFernz]

almost a year has pass, and i'm still waiting for Casey's own album - or a single at least!

[Brooklyn0merta]

This guy is mad talented....period. He certainly has his own style but he injected a little John Fogerty in there too....of course nobody can sound like John Fogerty but Casey isnt trying to either. I love this performance.

127 people never seen the rain....thats all.

[Sparkl3zSpark]

He kind of looks like Luke from Modern Family...of course, an older Luke.

[greenyxi]

Wasn't this supposed to be rock week? :/

[dawgalexify]

@greenyxi This is rock bro. It's just tends to more classical rock, that's why it's slow.

[greenyxi]

@dawgalexify Seems more like jazz/blues to me. While contestants can mould any rock song into their style...each of this years contestants seemed to do the same style every week. They're meant to leave their comfort zones and actually sing in the genre...it makes the show less boring. In this case, they were actually meant to rock out big, y'know?

[WhiKiD23]

@greenyxi Are you kidding? CCR is one of the best rock groups of all time! Alongside Cream, Double Trouble, and Supertramp.

[greenyxi]

@WhiKiD23 Maybe, I never heard of them, but Casey didn't sing rock in this song. If the song was originally rock by CCR, it isn't here.

[WhiKiD23]

@greenyxi Well, I see what you mean. Still, I think this version is still rock, slow though it may be, and is a high quality, faithful rendition of this song.

[Roflcopter70412]

@qbinflorida - Look up 'PierceAbrams' He has all his stuff there. Some stuff you may not even have seen yet. Enjoy.

[Roflcopter70412]

Hey, yo any of you Casey fans still out there; He has a youtube channel (If you didn't know), and he has done his own music outside of AI. And he also did a recording with Haley Reinhart 'Baby, it's Cold Outside' .

Thumbs up so Casey fans in the dark can find more of his wonderful voice.

[qbinflorida]

@Roflcopter70412

What is his Channel,can not find it :-(

Love this dude

[mcdavenport1995]

@mattbig507 if you think scotty can out sing Casey then you need to go in the bathroom, wrap the shower curtain around your neck, pull as hard as you can, then shoot yourself just to make sure it works, after banging your cousin.

[Brooklyn0merta]

@mcdavenport1995 Yea I agree....whoever thinks Scotty can blow Casey out has hit their head. Perhaps they prefer Scottys style and voice over Caseys (I dont see how) but note for note and range wise, Scotty cant hold a lit match to this guy Casey. Casey is oozing with talents....vocal, intruments, etc.

[natearoo2898]

hey its Zack Galifianakis

[mAdMoNkEy012345]

him and haley were the best... no contest.

[antony58942]

126 people have never seen the rain

[mattbig507]

@TWTRose, 1. How am i childish while proving a point, please prove that.

[mattbig507]

@UTpacman 1 Haliey is complete crap at singing, thats why no one voted for her to win. 2nd, James was a wanna be. and 3rd, Casey is into music that no one listens to anymore so yea.

[GLT2015]

@mattbig507 Yea cause current music is SOOO good... And when has any contestant solely sang current music? The shows themes per week also made the best song choices be those of past generations.

[TWTRose]

@mattbig507 1. you are a childish fool.... thats it

[stownfire]

@mattbig507 1.those comments prove you have no ear for music 2. james has 1 of the best rock voices since steven tyler him self 3. i listen to jazz

p.s when hailey sung benny and the jet she put elton john him self to shame so blows your theory to hell

[dlee301234]

@stownfire please don't compare haley to elton, you just sound like an idiot

[mattbig507]

@sordidfate and @builditbetter09 the only reason scotty won is because he is the best and me and the who audience saw that, and thats why they voted for him. If your hating that the show does this, then don't watch it. Its as easy as that.

Also scotty has the next one albums sold in country music because he is the best 16 year old kid they have ever seen sing this music, he sings better than most country singers that have been around for years. So don't hate, appreciate.

[UTpacman]

@mattbig507

if you think scotty can out sing haley casey or james kindly kill your self.

no really suck a tail pipe borrow a gun i dont care kill your self.

[builditbetter09]

@mattbig507 agree he sings great country, but he cant sing anything els so he shouldn't have won american idle. so stfu.

[KotaMichaelChild24]

Casey got fucked over.... :/ I personally thought he was the best, then Paul Mcdonald, and then Jacob Lusk.... AND NONE OF THEM MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!!! :( FUCK YOU AMERICA...

[scruffy0zebra]

We still love you Casey, you are to good for that show!

[DeathWingProductions]

anyone know the notes??

[zlzFUNNYMANzlz]

and think if he hadent been saved for the nirvana song mishap( i know he wasent kicked off til the next song but this song was the real reason we know it) we would have never heard him sing this

[paradiscross]

see you soon my loves. =)

[Topkat311]

Casey is just magical on stage. What a talent. I hope he is doing an album!

[HaleyReinhartForever]

VOTE CASEY FOR IDOL OF THE MONTH!!!!!!! :) <3

[elioinerte]

[4onAPUSHexam]

He shouldn't be happy singing this song

[debrio]

OMG!!!!! I FREAKING LOVE THIS GUY! His voice is classic...

I want him to do a song with Adele!!!!!

[crazybeotch3]

@debrio 

[crazybeotch3]

@debrio I just met him last night I got his autograph a picture with and 2 hugs I went over after everyone left and I was like "can I have another hug I just love you so much and he gave me another one" They told us only lauren was going to come out but scotty lauren and casey came out it was amazing I met scotty's mom and got a picture with her it was amazing Stefano ripped his shirt off on stage to ♥

[morgandelany101]

his face expressions when he sings are so cute I love him! :)

[Jared2324]

how is he 19?!?!! i'm about to turn 19 and he freaking looks 30!

[lotianheart66]

@Jared2324 .....19, 30, 50, 75, 90, 120 talent is timeless....and he got a lot

[Jared2324]

@lotianheart66 i know i just always thought he always a lot older than me but he is my age

[ktootsie]

Casey is absoultely amazing! I just love him to pieces!

[lauralily123414]

125 people have never seen the rain. Casey you're the best <3

[alexisd3]

Far beyond epic

[LilChikiting]

Casey's really cute :)

[5laaaau]

He's God

[stownfire]

every other song he sung he made better then the original except this 1...he did awesome on it but not quite as good as original imo

[KatherineXIX]

@stownfire I dunno...no one can quite cackle like Screamin' Jay Hawkins in "I Put a Spell On You." Love Casey, though.

[DisasterLoveMCL]

OMG I LOVE CASEY! He signed my fone! n i gotta hug n pic from him! He smelled soooo good lol

[Engineer245]

One of the best performances of this song I have ever heard and this should become a classic ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[amierthaqifrulez]

gotta love that bass!

[jwowww18]

casey anthony murdered her kid, casey abrams murdered this song. 

[jeremywilsonkk]

@jwowww18 .....  Really? He nailed this song.

[jwowww18]

@jeremywilsonkk no i meant it in the good way. :)

[rogging1]

@jwowww18 He did well with this song. Even in your opinion that he didn't do well, Casey did not murder the song.

[CBranumMLT]

@jwowww18  you don't know music plain and simple

[blong71791]

i dont understand how anyone could dislike this. he did such a great job! so so so talented!

[ilovemysrt4]

Truly amazing performance...I think my favorite of the season.

[SaraThulin82]

I want to push the "like" button more than one time! :) What an artist!! Good Luck dude!!! :)

[KadeyJoh2010]

Casey Abrams will be the biggest thing to happen to the music industry since Chris Daughtry.

[wnoftsin]

THATS A BAD -ASS CRACKER RIGHT THERE,... I LOATHE AMERICAN IDOL AND THIS IS THE MOST MUSICAL SHIT IVE SEEN ON TV IN YEARS SINCE ESPERANZA SPALDING ON THE TONIGHT SHOW..

[nelliesly]

casey if you dont make an album its a travisty to music

[builditbetter09]

124 scotty douches

[XxSuRrEaLiStSxX]

@builditbetter09 Casey, Hailey and James shoulda been the top 3

[ihartweirdbeard]

@XxSuRrEaLiStSxX I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!!!!

[GunsNAeroStones]

CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIM THIS SUMMER!!!! :D <3333

[alias91919]

[ChloeAgnew4Ever]

I REFUSE TO WATCH THIS! Casey in bad quallity is just not right :(

[rathbonelover97]

[happyhammi715]

I loved this performance!

[JUANO510]

amazing..... america sucks just like the economy

[bobcats07]

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lala12349]

Casey is a fantastic artist. What a voice, and a personality to go with it! And his performances are so classy.

You don't have to be a copy of somebody else to make it in the world!

[Marmify13]

1:13 is my fave part :) ...he would have been a better Idol. :D

[colourfulbutton14]

I LOVE Casey !! <3

[lbjblf]

My final two, Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart, with Haley winning. But I think losing will be better off for Haley for her career so American Idol can't control what she does to start her career

[maewyn317]

this dude playes an Upright Base!

John Fogerty Eat your heart out

[INLOVE387]

sooo good

[aksandler]

Yay, Yay Casey you are amazing, you will go far!

[GuitarGirl712]

BEST THIS SEASON. he just didn't win cause he didn't have "the look", even though he was super amazingggg

[NVanek]

@patkaybites this guy did a horrable job singing this song

[jeremywilsonkk]

@NVanek Really? Really?

[NVanek]

@jeremywilsonkk yes really really

[starwhitlock]

121 people have never seen the rain

[ShinyMudkip22]

Does anyone else think this guy looks like the dude from Jaws?

[MinnieMouseLuver123]

Casey♥ Casey, Casey,  Casey. You... Well I dont even know what you are. Hes beautiful♥ All haterz, Idk, just go take a walk or something.

[sordidfate]

2 Reasons not to watch Al Finale

1.The winner is predictable. The producers had already stoned on who's gonna win this show by the exposure they give in every episode. Clearly, Scotty got the most number of minutes in every episode. Look how far he's right now.

2.The remaining two can never pull of a Haley Reinhart, James Durbin, Casey Abrams or Pia Toscano performance. EVER. They haven't left a single fantastic performance. NEVER.Sorry to say fans but it clearly shows.

Thumbs up if u agree!

[Janembamaste10]

@sordidfate haha, i totally agreed with you and was going to thumbs up until i saw, "thumbs up if u agree!"

[rathbonelover97]

When the judges saved Casey, I was almost in tears. When he got voted off I was in tears. The only reason I wasn't mad was because when he sang his final song he was smiling. Casey will be dearly missed from American Idol.

[randomness8895]

CCR is amazing and he sang this song wonderfuly..

[TheBeatleDrummer]

*sigh* Even if CCR walked out and played this they would have been voted off. Let's face it, today's music has gone to shit.

[bfodge]

Why did you put these stupid links on the screen..?? Kinda dumb

[janu2rp]

Yes its true that Casey was voted off from AI but he will still remain to be a good voice to reckon with. The smile and and the good inner self will bring him more further to his carreer.

[taboosun]

I want a Casey Abrams version of this song to purchase. He makes me love this song!

[wolfteamdragonforce]

0 place scotty

[jmorris214]

This is Amazing. How can 118 people dislike this?

[speedytang4]

im sure the 118 dislikes is cuz of the video quality which doesnt do justice to his voice.

[MrMegakyle93]

its so refreshing to see casey perform. hes not like every other performer bc he actually sings meaningful song HE likes and not songs he thinks everyone else will like..its ashamed he had to go. i guess americas just not ready to see the rain yet...

[rachysanoo]

this man is amazinggg



[WarrenZevonAddict]

Sometimes I don't understand!!!!!

This man is talented and 114 dislike?

It's clear, I don't understand the music scène today!!!!

[hmr619]

@WarrenZevonAddict ill give you a good explanation bieber written all over it

[Powerball160]

Damn this dude is good.

[CerberusBrown]

dislikes must be because of poor video quality

[MrDFOplayer]

Maybe it was right for america to vote him off. In my opinion American Idol was just a big wall blocking his success. Now that hes gone he'll be able to continue on with what he wants to do, art in music.

[hmr619]

@MrDFOplayer your right did you know after his audition he had to go to the hospital cuz of a heart condition he has so him being gone its kind of a relife cuz imagine going to a concert and he would have to go to the hospital

[isoviths81]

@MrDFOplayer seriously? he's off? man, there are a lot of deaf people in the US... I hope this guy gets what he deserves because he's a pure TALENT!!

[kimmydrinx]

@MrDFOplayer

YES! and i went to idol live ...drove 6 hours for it JUST to see him... and i DID! i cant wait till he has a show of his very own i will drive to LA if i have to. that boy right there IS a gift.

[jsimone1320]

he looks like something from fragglerock thank god he is off now we can get on with the show

[duesouthfreak]

@jsimone1320 obviously you don't understand what it is to have pure musical talent. Looks have nothing to do with how talented you are, Casey is the most talented musician Idol has ever seen and according to you he was stop the progress of the show. That is completely idiot to even suggest.

[xXDudeBoyXx]

he's the only person that can make me want to learn upright bass. but i'm too lazy to learn..

[thepinkee6]

Casey is awsome!

[Yamaguchi61]

HES ON TOMORROW GUYS! DON'T LET OUR FELLOW CASEY DOWN! I WANT THIS GUYS ALBUM AND HE IS PURE GENIUS AND INCREDIBLY TALENTED!!!!

[MRiitta]

Casey is THE BEST!

[USFxDefinition]

Totally Hq:240p -.-

[tevaeironui11]

GO JACOB LUSK HAHAHAHA CASEYS STILL COOL

BUT GO JACOB LUSSK !!!!!!! YEEEEEAH

[maxelca]

This was awesome!

[ItzBrii2010]

Seriously...James and Casey are the best. Neither of them are the cutest...but their voices are amazing and they can pretty much sing anything!(:

[immabandit]

@ItzBrii2010 You're wrong. Casey is cutest :D

Well, I take that back. Paul was the cutest.

[107tonigirl]

He does his own thing with confidence & he is the best. I would buy his music even if he didn't win.

[MrMIMISEKU]

CCR is my favorite band ever, and Casey did them justice. This was fantastic.

[Finkardop]

i want a voice like that yo

[coopa97434]

whats that mean?

[BroKeNSC2]

@coopa97434 omg you're still trolling on here? It's been over a week! Do you really not have a life? Are you insanely jealous? Is your penis really, really little?... Those questions are obviously rhetorical. I can only imagine the kind of arguments you get into in real life. You're definitely that one ass in town everyone loves to hate!

[coopa97434]

@BroKeNSC2 112 people are like total losers, thumbs up if you agree

justin bieber, so wishes he was this cool.

omg i love casey! but he should totally shave and take his shirt off, since i kind of focus on looks, i know you can agree with me. right? thumbs up if you agree, k.

oh and what band is this song that he sings, did he write this song? anyways, this is fun writing to all his awesome and cool fans. im going to go to the mall. toodle looo people

[patkaybites]

112 dislikes?! Seriously? This performance was amazing and just my opinion but I actually like this version better than the original!

[PinkPurse1000]

@patkaybites omg i soo agrre he is so gonna win he can play like every instrument

[patkaybites]

@PinkPurse1000 sadly... America has voted him off.... This stinks! I was rooting for him too! :|

[TheHuMoCa]

@patkaybites There is no way this is better than the original. Still good though

[gavin5765]

@patkaybites those people who disliked dont even know ccr i guess. just glad to hear someone sing their songs.

[builditbetter09]

@patkaybites hell ya casey sang this way better than the original

[patkaybites]

@builditbetter09 Agreed ;D 

[coopa97434]

112 people are like total losers, thumbs up if you agree

justin bieber, so wishes he was this cool.

omg i love casey! but he should totally shave and take his shirt off, since i kind of focus on looks, i know you can agree with me. right? thumbs up if you agree, k.

oh and what band is this song that he sings, did he write this song? anyways, this is fun writing to all his awesome and cool fans. im going to go to the mall. toodle looo people

[MrCjgan]

@coopa97434 spot the fail.

[Perskwacky]

112 people suck

[TheAnita99]

AWesome!

[keveye]

he`s brill what a voice.

[Mageeelovesfrank]

HES THE BEST :)

[ThatsJustDevynn]

WHY ARE PEOPLE DISLIKING THIS?!!?!?!

[nikaledesma]

I think if he win, same story like Taylor Hicks before. America was so fond and loved him very much but what about to other countries??? That's why Taylor Hicks has disappeared from the lime light.

[Stewie4guvna]

@nikaledesma You posted exactly the same comment on another on of Casey's videos, and I'll comment with my same response: He's got fans over here in NZ, so he can come over here and give us a lil' jammin', we won't mind XD

[nikaledesma]

@Stewie4guvna well I don't really care at all. how about longevity in the lime light? i think it's just like a lighted candle it will melt soon. Mostly like NOW in the music industry - young, pretty looking, xcentric, modern - is the trend who mostly are vocally not that great like Casey. I'm just realistic.

[TheKrazieFish]

@coopa97434 I would like to extend you my personal thanks. You have done more to give Casey credibility than *every other commenter combined*. Nothing speaks louder than crazy.

[elpcihi]

oh my god you are an excellent musician, my name is Maxi'm from Argentina just caught my attention the bass and listening to your version of this excellent track I was amazed you are an excellent musician and did you put a bass as the main instrument on stage in these over time and sing and do both well at the time greeting from Buenos Aires Argentina...sos un musico de la concha de la lora capo genio!!!

[SolidScum]

@coopa97434 I am going to go out on a limb here and say that you are one of those guys who likes to masturbate to the sound of his own voice at night.

[streamskat]

This GalWithAVocalMusicDegree thinks Casey deserves to win!!

[1MinuteReviews1]

@coopa97434 wtf



[coopa97434]

Like I said before, trident thrown into his chest within the first 20 seconds...I would have Lol and 5 starred this vid

[pwnmonkeyisreal]

@coopa97434 dude, STFU you cocky MF. No One likes your stupid ass retarded comments about how great you are and how bad casey is. You should audition for American Idol next year and see how "awesome" your singing is. BTW, stop being obsessed about this youtube page and move on.

[twilightpulse94]

@coopa97434 To bad he did really good.

[newworldmind]

@coopa97434 go play with your baseball cards instead of spamming an Casey videos with your foolishness

[boomershadow]

obvious troll is obvious
