Brett Michaels and Casey James on American Idol

[marneyzj]

Just the beginning of Casey James' career! Check out his newest song, "Let's Don't Call It A Night", from his self-titled debut album... You'll love it!

[shayana30377]

 love it

[Babric420]

@GunsNRiders lol

[dionbroderick]

all the comments along,says enough.awesome, only the best, THANKS.

[maridentha]

i love bret michaels and always has for a long time amazing to see him back on stage after such a huge medical issue but glad to see him rock on with life because no tomorrow is promised so live ur life to the fullest which is exactly what he is doing

[lookwhatcatdragdin]

@itstruth4u2 If Bret could not sing then he wouldn't sell out shows like BMB and Poison do! If you are judging him by this performance this was after his health problems and he almost passed. You can see in his eyes that he's still in pain but he is doing what he loves to do and he is a true inspiration to his fans and others. Poison Forever!!!

[swaggyyful]

i loved the fucking shirt!!

[itstruth4u2]

As for Brett Michaels, he can't sing a lick either.. He is simply a good lookin S.O.B and thats what we love about him. WE LOVE TO LOOK AT HIM!

[itstruth4u2]

Kurt Cobain screamed .Only those people in deep depression liked him.. There was nothing good about him or his music!!

[Engineer245]

Why does Bret always look like he has eye makeup on? Love his music though!

[whitbyjet65]

@Engineer245 Because he has!

[mzrockstar2u]

Bret Michaels n Casey James TWO HOTTIES

[ugoogli]

I remember this was just after Bret was hospitalized and my dad was like, "there is no way that Bret Michaels is going to come out on the stages" basically 5 seconds before Bret Michaels came out on stage

It was a funny moment

[vonfluebrenda2070]

GOD...WHAT A BLAST FROM THE PAST! WENT TO A LOT OF CONCERTS BUT I REALLY REGRET NEVER SEEING POISON ! MAN---BRETT STILL DOES IT FOR ME ! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS !

[dirtylittlesmokers]

GOD he looks so much like kurt cobain :O

[94Cioppa]

@dirtylittlesmokers Yeah kinda.... but Cobain had more talent in his each one of his heroin scars than these two idiots have combined

[babygirlamy1973]

When I saw this I cried like a baby! I knew he wasn't up to it but he gave 100% like always! Love you Bret!!

I've become a huge Bret Michaels fan this past year, since he won Celebrity Apprentice and although I didn't see this live, its just as awesome now! Got the chance to see Bret live earlier this month and I'm going to a Motley Crue/Poison show this August...and I'm not usually a rock fan! Keep rockin' Bret...we love you!

[04adel]

@Iowagirl05 "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" with kaare loe on you tube

[iluvroknrol93]

I say, Brett had an appendectomy, his head almost exploded, he had a heart problem and he still appeared onstage. Amazing. It's too bad Casey has not done much with his career. 

[mlkidd9]

@iluvroknrol93 Casey has a record deal with RCA Nashville and is expected to release his album Fall 2011.

[Maharg23]

Im not gay but this man and his band brought me so much happiness when I was living it up in the 80s that ill always love him.

[sure2fckitupguy]

GONG!!!!

[philipthemanlovell]

brett michaels has become a joke just like axl rose. thumbs up for bands/artists still relevant like Motley Crue!

[McAteeTyler]

@philipthemanlovell how about.... fuck you?

[NbLp2008]

@philipthemanlovell i dont think so

Brett is nothing like Axl Rose... The differents is. Is that Axl is an idiot and Brett is actually awesome

[dsgirl129]

[anntonio1000]

thats true every rose does have its own thorns

[DiamondChick]

I LOVE CASEY AND BRETT!!! <3 XD

[Lgroth01]

I'm not a huge fan of Poison, I like a few songs. But I got teary eyed when he came out because I have read how sick he has been and it was just so good to see him perform. God bless you Brett Michaels !!!

[maridentha]

@Lgroth01 i so agree with you it was a miracle for him to even leave the hospital and he did this after his doctors told him not to his friends family doctors no one knew he was doing it lol

[snowflakepa2010]

Brett Micheals next judge on idol that would be killer ...

[foxman123456789]

casey should have won this is prof of that

[SWEETXXSUGARXXANGEL]

@foxman123456789 i wanted him to win so bad and during this i wanted to be his guitar(it sounds so wrong but it feels so right)

[jmcnv4]

When Bret came out i started to cry.. best performance of the night by far! WE LOVE YOU BRET AND CASEY>33

[kenzimooreluvsu]

i love casey james!!!!!!!!!! this was great!!

[cindydickerson1989]

love them both and both are hot as crap get well bret

[perception2020]

Awesome performance. Bret please take care of yourself.

You are a great performer and strong man. The world has lost many

unexpectedly this past year. We do not want to lose you. Get better and get stronger.

We are all touched by this performance. I just want to say....Thanks.

[tiellimat]

Awe, Bret Michaels!  :)

[starlitexxruby]

The performance of the night.. and the season.

[carrielile]

I loved this. They sound amazing together. I do wonder how many of the young kids in the audience(entirely not just the ones there live) knew who Bret was. I know a lot of them only know who he is cause of the reality shows but a lot didn't know who he was when I asked them. It was sad. I love Poison, & aren't even my generation.(I'm 22) My mom's taste influenced me a lot. 1st concert was Ssammy Hagar. (: I think kids nowadays should listen to older stuff cause it broadens their genre base.

[szewei85]

@carrielile i think the main reason was kids 2day r POISON'd by lady HOE gaga n justin GAY bieber. it sure hurts like a thorn watching the new generation dropping like flies in music taste with all the latest crap shoved in their ass through radio. s 4 me, i will remain old skool 4 life, SISTAH. haha. xD

[UnbalancedGamers]

@szewei85 im sorry im 14 and ive listened to poison for wat 6 yrs now there my favorite band and it wont everstop cuz i cant ever hate hairband

[kshanet]

An awesome duets. Bret and Casey rocked the stage. The best performance of the night. Bret was quite right when he said I thought Casey is the winner because I felt the same way

[magyorko22]

What an Awesome performance. Brett Michaels coming out to perform after everything he has recently been through. Amazing! Casey did an awesome job. xoxo to both of you <3

[twiecbs]

crystal or casey should of won not lee

[Drywater93]

When Casey began singing this, my dad was like, "what, is bret michaels going to walk out onto the stage, after all he's been through this past while surely not" then bret michaels walked out and i cracked up laughing

[bhudock]

So glad to see you back, Bret. You and Casey were great....love ya Bret....

[Mila1723]

i started crying when i saw brett come into the song. i knew he was there but all the emotions just came out of me God Bless Brett Michaels. <3

[taiguru666]

The best of the night. Casey turned out as the real winner

[Katy7540]

Best performance fo the night! Thanks for post. Go Casey!

[bravedavemusic]

Didnt see Brett comin'. EPIC! Personally I like this version better then the orriginal

[MsVerucas]

Love Bret and Casey. <3 Casey is hot., sings great and plays a mean guitar. :)

[taiguru666]

The best performance of the night. Standing ovation for Bret and Casey.

[prisonbreakfan4]

Good to have you back Bret.

[SUZYB65]

[Ieatpaste23]

@SUZYB65 lol- you're so funny. :)

[lillianspeical38]

what can i say simple azsome

[xmansmimi]

I think you have him confused with that no talent "Kid Rock"

[jo25182518]

Brett, you bought tears to my eyes when I saw you perform this song...becuase I know you were not 100% well., You are a trooper. Hope you get well soon. I remember seeing Poison in Sydney back in the early 90's on of the best lilve shows EVER

[ChrisT4OPS]

@jo25182518 

[pol1265]

@jo25182518 Jo25182518 I agree, brought tears to my eyes as well, Ive never seen Bret live, but if I ever get the chance I'll def. be there, he's simply an amazing man, Ive been trying to get his management to bring him closer to where I live for years! great comment, peace, Tamara

[pol1265]

@jo25182518 I def. agree, brought tears to my eye's as well. Ive never seen Brett or Poison live but if I ever get the chance, I will def. be there, he's an amazing man with so much talent & strength! great comment, peace Tamara

[cobhcdr]

so he recovered? thats good to see

[bbqnewb]

Rofl, I had no idea Brett Michaels was still alive, lol, why is he on American Idol, he stopped being relevant decades ago.

[freddyforever75]

@bbqnewb you didnt hear about his hemmorage (spelled wrong im sure) and near death experience last month only to battle back and recover? also he won celebrity apprentice

[carrielile]

@freddyforever75 Actually ur spelling is right (: lol.

[Parldro42082]

okay did someone seriosly post they think brett michaels wrote this song in 2001?? Are you serious??? try a little bit farther back, like 1988, damn!!!

[N8wood1]

hey everyone!

i just uploaded a video of an oil painting that took me 5 months to finish.

i would like to get some feedback on it. so if everyone that reads this could check it out and let me know what you think it would help me out! the video is called -- monumental oil painting- from start to finish. thanks everyone!

[missruthiee]

this was definitely the best performance of the night, aside from janets!I love Brett forever

[evamendesable]

I have no friends please add me I am lonely

[asianliciousonline]

Brett Michales>Casey James

[mrtnfelicia1]

Beauti... Beauti....Beautifulllll... Bret I love you .... Fan 4-EVER......

[D0ubl3Awesome]

This was the only good performance that night, this and crystal's performances. Other than that, this was the worst AI finale ever.

[radiogreenblue]

also check out this acoustic instrumental trio with guitar, violin and drums. search Youtube for "Radium Karmara"

[ezzyezz123456]

they did an effin amazing duet!! left me effin speechless

[jonathon1018]

Bret Micheals is a giant douche. This song is crap, and he is crap.

[xmansmimi]

@jonathon1018 Wow! How do you and about 3 other people feel? Is someone not getting his fair share of attention? Relax ass hole.

[jonathon1018]

@xmansmimi

LOL you really think anyone gets any attention off of youtube comments? idiot...

I'm sick of fake asshole parading around on TV with 20 different beautiful woman, complaining about how life is hard.

and then going on to make sappy music that only really really stupid woman like because hes good looking. It's not talent, its a look with over-done commercialized bullshit music. 

[96horselvr]

Get a life

[mwk89]

Bret sounded awesome,and he looked awesome,wasn't able to tell what he had been through

[Bajean1212]

the best of a great show...WTG Bret ...that must of been awesome for Casey to have him come out and play with him ...they sounded great together

[ChanelBasset]

Incredible performance considering Bret health condition. Sometimes we don't go to work because of a little cold and this man with a brain and heart problems, plus diabetis, was there ready to rock. Good work but take care, think of your daughters, they need you healthy!!!

[kshanet]

Casey seems so great on third place. An outstanding performance of the night. Bret and Casey sounded great together. What a moment.

[nedmorlef]

i hope he inspires many of his fans to the cross he wears by bearing his cross as publicly as he lived for the r&r.

[sjbutterfie]

Aww, Go Bret! I'm so happy he's alright.

[originaozz]

cool!

[lolblaze1]

O.O

[Fedfan1414]

One of the best moments of the show. Stay Well Bret!

[mzrockstar2u]

Rock On Bret we love u. Very much!!!!!!!! Good job Casey. ♥

[sdillen1]

[Stinkyfart]

Mr. Michaels for someone with the brain the size of a walnut, that was pretty damned good.

[vls1964]

Awesome ! Brett and Casey ROCK!!!!

[MsNankee]

I LOVE this man!! And he is so inspirational. He was an idol to me when I was a teenager, and he is an inspiration to me now that I am "not a teenager" lol.

I just pray he does NOT push this too hard. ♥ Bret ♥

[SpazFactorial]

aaaah man, you spelt Bret wrong

[BKsneak11]

i love how brett wrote this song in a laundry mat in like 10 mins, then its turn out to be poisons biggest hit.

[belladonna1999]

best part of the show!

[penny6680]

I was in tears too!! I was so happy to see him rockin', I just hope he will take it easy and take care of himself. Love ya Bret!!

[kts802]

brett is one hot man !!!!!!!!!! mmhmmm lol

[MrDuncanmm]

It was so good to see you up and out there Bret. Stay well!!!!!!!! friend.

[Verdoux007]

It's good to see Brett up and about.

[randomlylyrical]

I think I like Brett even more now than I did when he was in Poison.

[starlitexxruby]

Fantastic - hurray for Brett & Casey.

[19JerseyGirl73]

What an inspiration Bret has become.

[mothership19]

Well done Brett, keep uo the good recovery xxx

[robertmorton8]

[3166TV]

Good to have you back, Bret. Rock on, and hopefully i'll see you with Skynyrd in July.

[meggles628]

this was the BEST part of the show and I'm glad it was Casey

[xoxsteff88xox]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joshjarmusic]

wow. after all the crap he went through in the hospital..

[watson1neil]

This is the worse crap I ever heard in my !!!!!!!!! Both of you ruined a classic song ! Damn Brett !!!!!

[xTheresaa]

@watson1neil you realize the song was originally brett's...don't you?

[tributeforlife]

@watson1neil lol bret michaels wrote this song you dumb ass

[watson1neil]

@tributeforlife No shit sherlock !!!! They butchered it

[sjbutterfie]

@watson1neil .. wth? They never ruined that song. How rude! That's Bret's song that he wrote & he wrote a lot more than that asshole. He's almost died & came on like a champ & put on a show.. how dare you write that piece of shit like that.

[watson1neil]

@sjbutterfie Sorry, butchered the song, both of them

[watson1neil]

@sjbutterfie woop e doo !!!! I'm proud he wrote more than one song, WHATEVER ! But him and that sissy destroyed a classic song. How do you fuck up your own song? I can't !!! Unless that sissy plays one with me

[KennyErdmann]

@watson1neil really?! do you know music at all? This iss Brett's song he wrote this with his band poison in.... i believe 2001? If you don't know what your talking about than don't speak, i admire brett for the heart he has put into his music that he wrote. I play guitar and when i play it or anyone else does it doesnt sound the same, there is sooo much emotion behind this song.

[sohcsarewicked]

@KennyErdmann this song was released 22 years ago (1988) not 2001

[watson1neil]

@KennyErdmann You dumbass he wrote it in the late 80's, and yes I play Guitar Violin and anything else with strings. click my page and you can hear an example of some of the types of music I create

[SuperJoeAnonymous]

The cowboy from Butlere, PA. :)

[jesternjeff]

I used to think this guy ( Brett ) and his band ( poison ) sucked but, after seeing Brett on The Apprentice I have a new admiration for him. He seems like a well grounded star w/ out his head up his ass. So, respects to him . Fight the good fight Brett !!!

[Dragonsbaynn]

Its amazing what humans can do after being ill, Buddy Rich performed a song and drumsolo 2 weeeks after heart surgery. Music is a powerfull healer indeed.

[MattHatter]

Keep on rockin' Bret? KEEP ON ROCKIN'? This guy was nearly dead like only weeks ago and he just strolls up there no problem, smiling and everything. Something just isn't right here. And no one is making that big of a deal over this?! You don't just recover from what he went through like that and do a performance weeks later. People better be praising God above for a miracle that he obviously performed.

[tpendy]

Bret Michaels new  Bandana Guitar strap was needed about 1 1/2 hours before dress rehearsal....more photos are at the Red Monkey Facebook page. Also check out Casey James with his two Red Monkey Custom Shop guitar straps......Love it!

[mekat01]

go Bret and Casey  :)

[serenade71]

watched it last night and watching it now brings tears to my eyes again! can't stop smiling! love them both! i just hope brett doesn't overextend himself.

[beerloverful]

Awesome ! Bret ur the best ! So great to see u on stage - especially at the end with the crowd goin crazy! Great duet ! Yeah it definitely brings tears ! Casey, great job too!

[IphoneFreak3]

The Best of the Night!!! Loved IT!!!

[MicheMoshMash]

God Bless Bret Michaels.  What a trooper.

[Lekha84]

Loved that performance!!! That was the best one of the night!!! I love Bret Michaels and I pray he gets better!

[Altrock4u]

[SUNSHINEWAGON]

Fantastic performance!  Highlight of the night.

Casey showed his real stuff! I hope Brett takes care of himself ~ he's a treat.

[80sandsunny]

Wow that's a whole lotta sexy on stage at the same time. God bless you Bret! you splash happy all over the place.

[gottaluv48]
