Reed Grimm - American Idol Season 11 Audition Preview Pt. 1

[53119hs]

my middle school band director is friends with Reed from collage! :O

[drum2thebeat4798]

O.o uuuuber sexy . . . .

[sissumghy]

I found him a bit unstable.

[MyBestAnswers]

The bad news - Reed didn't get to share his talent for more episodes of AI. The good news, now I don't have to watch AI anymore :-)

I really can't stand that show. I won't say my opinions about a couple of the ones the judges kept because I don't want to be mean. I'm sure they are nice people, but I don't get it. At all.

[JansElyse303]

Way to go Reed you make Wisconsin proud good luck!!!!:D

[HEYitsBRIANNAx0]

GRIMMLINS all the way <3

[ando1135]

hes like casey with a little quircky paul mixed into it

[XtremeVibe]

I can't stand him, I hope he does not make the top 12.

[FedoraLover7]

I can't stop watching this guy!

[dearl8lady]

I hope there are enough AI viewers with the substance to vote for this guy! I fear that most AI viewers are fangirls wanting the next Justin Bieber...

[smaknk]

Next Ray Charles, next American Idol. The guy is a music savant.

[holdingontonothingg]

Ah, it still sounds familiar.

[PoolOfAction]

family matters, not full house

[holdingontonothingg]

omg he sang the full house theme song , and he's not that bad.

[hkhauschildt]

@holdingontonothingg

It's actually the theme song from "Family Matters".

[markfothebeast]

I think the whole town of Ellsworth left a comment.

[bmillz1341]

Lol, I know that guy, "literally". I can't believe I'd ever say this, but I'm actually excited to watch this show now that he's on. E-Town represent.

[Rascal19970baby]

My uncles friend know's that guy, litterally.

[HeckYea1127]

he really felt the song - HOT audition with matching wet armpits ! You rock dude!! :) 

[Hawkmanzi12]

Shoeless Idol Revolution

[CarinaCovers96]

I honestly don't think he's that good

[ena1rume]

@CarinaCovers96 you need to watch his videos, he's mad Gooood

[ledboots2009]

SMOKING.

[MrWwerealwrestler]

He isn't copying Casey Abrams. Many Jazz singers do scatting and sing with raspy voices. I am a fan of Casey Abrams and also a fan of this guy. Casey Abrams is not the only vocalist who does scatting and raspy singing.

[edward4ohandzzzz]

And if yo have any doubts check out shoeless revolution. He throws down on vocals and kills the drums.

[edward4ohandzzzz]

@libbyandkat that's reed being reed I've seen him play multiple times. And who is Casey Abrams?

[edward4ohandzzzz]

@trevorfrr he is a great person and is always being himself. One of the nicest guys i've ever spoken to.

[libbyandkat]

casey abrams wannabe.

[sh09un1]

@libbyandkat the only reason your even comparing him to casey is because he auditioned a year later... dont be stupid, he's been doing this since he was two... what were you were 2 years old? yea... thats what i thought

[ena1rume]

@libbyandkat shhh

[lelewah6865]

My favorite(:

[manweee222]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!!!!!!!!!

[regelemihai]

@MCnFRAPS

Too harsh. I didn't think he should've won, but like it or not, the guy has a great voice. Being a childish hater won't change that.

[hannajoseff001]

Awesome vocals! Hope he goes far..

[MFKeebs]

YES!! go REED! shoeless lives on.

[Numgrak]

I hired Reed and Three Beers til DuBuque, his former band, to play at a bar for my birthday party a few years back. Always an amazing energy and a great guy. He'll do great!

[KISSlover132]

ahh! sooo great! go Reed!

[mnWI]

The Reedums nickname goes back to high school. Great to see his talent finally being recognized nationally.

[UploaderOfGoodMusic]

You got this, Reed. :)

[vistoluk]

Awesome Reed you killed it! Can't wait to see you in the top!

[chewondoggy]

met him in minneapolis/st. paul at the Cabooz. he's friends with my sister o.0

[kristikrause]

When I was on the show for hollywood week i met him and he is crazy and awesome!

[vegaschelsi]

wow!

[IceBass29]

Reedums! So much soul... :-D

[TeamReedGrimm]

@IceBass29 haha! Is Reedums his nickname?

[IceBass29]

@TeamReedGrimm If I recall correctly... just a sort of for fun name that people used in college. :-)

[dtonbassist]

I am a big fan of his band Shoeless Revolution. I hate American Idol, but I am gonna watch it this season purely because Reed Grimm is on this season.

[tokengimp]

It's nice Wisconsin is having good things happen somewhere like here & Miss America after watching Packers today.

[RicoAM]

BEST EVER. So stoked for Reed!

[TheBreacherzHD]

That is My Cousin :D

[dickants]

ohhhhh baby this is great... angry zeus me.

[madelinefendrick]

This is an extremely intelligent, beautiful human being with a heart of gold.

[widgetweece]

yeah REED!!!!!

[TheGlowMaterial]

AMAZING!

[1haleyfan]

I keep watching this video on repeat, thanks for posting it. Reed is just so talented, and I love a performer who clearly seems to be having fun performing like he does.
