  • i love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • I think he did a fantastic job on this song. It was great. I didn't much care for the last note, but he pulled it off.

  • <3

  • nailed it. like a boss

  • i am addicted to thisss

  • Such a voice - sexy, sweet, gruff, a longing softness all expressed so beautifully in this performance. Casey, you did Sir Elton proud, and then some!

  • Is it just me or is he a bit similar to Zach Galifianakis?

  • Casey went a bit up and down in his performances but this was without a doubt his best one.

  • amazing!

    <3

    

  • I hope you don't mind that i adore you sooo! :)

  • he looks 30 and he sucks at singing

  • @Goodmilk167 beiber fan

  • America screwed up by eliminating this guy. He's a great talent.

  • best performance all season

  • it's obvious that he's struggling to keep from growling. :) he's so funny!

  • he should've done more songs like this, where he ACTUALLY sings. this was the night he got the MOST votes ever.

  • casey and pia should be the finale.... those two are the best... when pia then casey left no more reason for me to watch the show...

  • @deLacast007 id have to say him and haley. :)

  • he should of won

  • America got rid of him, Haley, And Paul?! America does not get music.

  • @TannerHerndon I definitely think those three were the best by far!

  • @brndnknr at least the top 3- with haley and james

  • i stopped watching this show when he left.

  • this guy really inspires me everytime i listen to him

  • Elton is the only person for this song

  • I miss you Casey! :'( you were the one I looked forward to listen to now I have to watch youtube videos I can't wait until you have your album out :) ♥

  • i bet this is for Haley.....

  • such a sweet song =)

  • amazing

  • AMAZING!!!! He is a true artist

  • his BEST performance :D

  • he wont need to come back next year..the second they said he wasnt going on anymore in the competition...he got a phone call saying he got a record deal. And honestly..i think him and haley got something goin on ;)

  • I fell in love with him when I first heard him sing this song! I can't believe I won't be able to hear him perform tonight. :(

  • i hope hes back next year

    

  • @tamyraelyse um dude they dont let contestants back if they made it to like the top 6? its not like the olympics or something

  • Such a beautiful performance. Love him!

  • i wanted to cry when he got eliminated):

  • Obviously he is more talented than everyone else there, but he was voted out. Lose the vote, but he does not lose when it comes to talents and skills. He should have move to a state with more population. sop he represent that state and the people would vote him to be the next american idol, whew...well it just my idea

  • I like how he sang the end part of the song :)

  • If you are a fan of his you should vote for haley and make sure that clown scotty doesn't get through another round. It's stupid fans of scotty and lauren that got casey voted off.

  • i hate him and everything about him pia was soooooo much better

    im glad he's finally gone!

  • I love the original. but shit, this is great :3

  • i think my heart just exploded

  • why'd u have to go? :'(

  • @YeoImShort ..is exactly how i feel.

  • @YeoImShort people stupid minors vote and they vote for the cutest (scotty) not the most talented , sad yet true it should be 18 or over to vote lol

  • Dont watch idol, but I've heard good stuff bout Casey and i have to say; This is nice :D

  • He has originality but thats as far as it goes, there is no way he should still be on this show and to place him in the top 2 is typical of how America would`nt know talent if it stared them in then face. To think this guy is still grinding his teeth (anoying btw..) and you yanks voted out PIA (DOH!) wake up America.....

  • i dont get this even though im 18 

  • Why can't there just be two winners. ;_;

  • i love you Casey!

  • OMG!

    Casey is amazing! Can we make this season the first American Duet Winners...

    Casey and Haley!!!!  They are perfect together!

  • This is one of my favorite performances on Idol ever. I love Casey, and I love this song. :D

  • Casey, James, Haley...my favorites <3!!

  • I just love Casey Abrams. I melted the very first time I heard him sing this song. <3

  • super like,..

    

  • After his past performances, this was so humble. He finally realized not to try too hard.

  • This is just one song that ... no one will be able to out-do Elton on. Nothing will ever be even comparable.

  • He's so overrated. I used to love him, but now I just feel he keeps making the wrong song choices. It's about a song you can sing well and not necessarily a song you like to sing. This performance wasn't bad, but nowhere near Haley's Benny and the Jets.

    Also the Nirvana song he sang was awful, really really bad.

  • @rrcp1us ya i kinda lost respect for casey after he tried singing nirvana

  • love the song, nice.

  • I see nothing special here, I do see something special in Haley though.

  • I think Taylor Hicks is a whole different story....it seems amazing to me how people are compraing these two guys just for the different looks and pitchyness at times of Casey Abrams, which is not even comparable since hicks lost the pitch much more times, and mostly because Casey being a jazz artist and much more unique, such a talented musician with lots of music game

  • Comment removed

  • i get tears in my eyes for listening to this. Casey Abrams is such a talented musician, and I really wish that he brings back and on full blast his whole range of musical techniques and diversity, and we would get the best competition we could ever imagine

  • nothing special... snoozefest...

  • Geez, he reminds me of Andy Hull from Manchester Orchestra. Kind of looks like him too.

  • he looks like Allen from Hangover lol

  • incase you havent noticed. casey is OBVIOUSLY smashing haley. and its funny because....they are both the most talented in the competition.

  • thanks god they save him

  • My mom thinks he's unattractive but I find him extremely adorable and sexy all at once. His voice is also freaking amazing :D

    I either want him or Haley to win!

  • @TurnOnTheLights0 me too !!!

  • Everytime I hear him sing, I smile so big! :)))

  • @chelle04296 I smile and cry at the same time! He´s really the best!

  • Casey Abrams!!!! es mi gallo en esta temporada de American Idol! se me hace el mas talentoso, creativooo!! Espero que gane!!!!!!!!!

  • i've tipped this guy to win.

  • voice quality...nothing...if you compare him with other singers' voice...he is just a mediocre singer...

  • @salamatrodel are you tone deaf? his tone is amazing, and the way he sings those falsetto notes is incredible. He is musically the most talented one in the competition. At this point each singer has their own unique features but they are all amazing... except for stefano maybe.

  • @ljbeck123 he is just being overrated...he is talented coz he is a good performer but being a singer...I listened carefully to his voice..his is just a mediocre singer...I listened carefully with his voice...his voice in this song is shaky and pitchy and most of the high notes were not hit properly ...he covered them with his growling...come on... listen to his voice without looking at him...it will hurt your ear...if just in case he will win american idol...I assure you he will not be a big hit

  • @salamatrodel hi I am also a musician and singer, different singers have different approach and different styles. Other contestants are mainstream, they are those typical voice you can hear nowadays. Casey has good quality of voice and at the same time he has a charcter that will recognized by the world, Casey is not just a good singer but a good ARTIST. Remember, Artist and talent, is different from being a singer. ;) Cheers!

  • @akoayciya I def agree with you and I think even if he does not win this competition he might pull a jennifer hudson or somethin because i would pay to go see this kid

  • @akoayciya that character he has in american idol is nothing new...taylor hicks is kinda like him...as I said he is a performer... I salute him for that...but for voice quality...hmmm... I disagree with you...and as an artist well...he is good...he has the charisma to win the votes of the Americans...but overall...he is a mediocre singer...remember...he is not there to perform live for you and me forever...he needs to sell his voice...and with that voice...I dont think it is marketable...

  • @salamatrodel

    I have to disagree respectively of course.I honestly think that he's gonna do great after the show.. If he gets to cut the album the way that he wants to, i believe it will be amazing. If you haven't heard his studio versions, you should...cause they are done very nicely. Its not just his voice, but what he does with it and how he phrases while he sings... A lot of people like a good old clear tone like Pia but there many others who like a little growling in the voice.

  • @bloodthirstyworks well...his style is just like taylor hicks...but in the US...it seems like his popularity will be only during the american idol stint...after that I dont know...but we'll see....

  • @salamatrodel

    I dont know...I really dont see why people compare him to taylor hicks...Taylor hicks was just wacka doodle eccentric.He was a soul man...his performances were awkward and crazy.Casey is nothing like that...He isn't an outrageous personality like Hicks...Just because they are both different doesn't mean that one should pair them together in one category...Hicks never played with his songs.he just sung them the way it was supposed to be. Casey interprets the song in his own way..

  • @bloodthirstyworks just accept the fact that he was only saved...casey has the charisma to win american idol...he has good showmanship...but after that...when i am not watching him just listening to him singing...it hurts my ear...

  • @salamatrodel

    I'm sorry but i don't. And i'm sorry but the moment you compared him to taylor hicks, i knew that you just didn't get him..So there's really no point having this conversation...However, i am stating this. Casey may or may not win this thing but he will go on to be one of the best musicians to come out of idol...You may refute this and so let me just say that the answer to your rebuttal will be "You'll see". :D Peace...

  • @bloodthirstyworks I really don't get him...his style is unique but it becomes annoying at a certain point and it was predictable in every performance that he had...sorry...his style is not the popular style that teenagers listen to in america...I work with teenagers and I just asked them today what music they listen to...

  • @salamatrodel

    You dont have to be sorry for anything..:D. Dude you don't like casey...thats it..you know..You have your favorite genres and singers and i have mine...I may not get why you listen to yours and you may not get why i listen to mine.. Doesn't mean that either of the genres suck, it just means that we like different stuff..I hate justin bieber and auto tuned artists, but i respect the fact that they have fans all over the world...To each his own...

  • @bloodthirstyworks well...the only thing that's why he is still in the competition...i believe is majority of the voters...vote for him for...oh this is america....majority wins!

  • @salamatrodel taylor hicks has different approach, Casey is young.. and can be reinvented, unlike Taylor Hicks... :)

  • @salamatrodel There are many successful singers that don't necessarily have the best singing voice.

  • That wasn't vocally very good. But I suppose some people see beyond the vocal talent? :)

  • Hees my favorite guuy and favorite girl is Haley :DD

  • he's my fave :)

  • When i heard this i said Casey is back. He is TRUELY amazing. This is beautiful. He has something to offer, something unique. Honestly his performances are so complex and unique that makes him simply brilliant.

  • If you're going to vote for him, thumbs up!

  • @Kaileefuckingwins Me! And we have to vote like last week every week! Tons and for 2 hours!

    This guy can´t leave us ever again!

  • I would love to hear Casey sing "Apologize" by One Republic. I think he'd blow the roof off of that stadium!

    Casey you've got my vote

    Kimberly - Bloomington, Illinois

  • @chloegirl1005 I fully agree. I think he'd ROCK "Apologize".

  • Hermoso!!!!

    

  • AMAZING. People need to keep voting for this guy!

    The most talented of the bunch! THank god the judges saved him.

    Casey if you keep being smart with your choices you will go far.

    Love your voice! Love you Casey!

  • nope nope nope....not that great

  • why did he ruin it with that corndog ending lol

  • awww his cute haircut!

  • a litle pitchy in the beginning but in the end it was good

  • it's about time he trimmed his beard, that full hedge bothered me everytime he sang...

  • i bet he was singing this 2 haley

  • @lotsocandykissesxoxo haha, maybe pia too......

  • This guy is easily the most talented singer on the show but i would be VERY VERY VERY surprised if he won... America doesn't care about pure talent, you have to be marketable to the mainstream crowd that loves the "pop star" even if they are auto tuned and have no talent

  • @fashpart I guess you are right! But I still hope his fans continue to vote for him every week! I want to see him up there for a long time.

  • @fashpart so true!

  • @fashpart i read somewhere hes getting a record deal :) !!

  • @fashpart exactly people like nothing about the voice only the moves and grooves. look at Pia, i thought she had it in her hands. But she was one who did not move around, same with Thia. Okay look to be honest do you remember Carson Higgins... did he have that great of voice... no, but his entertainment was great he loved to be having fun and the judges love that... and so does America.

  • @fashpart i was sad when he was voted off this past week

  • anyone else think he should do a Cat Stevens song?? if you dont know who he is, look one of his songs up, and tell me what you think please.

  • @cronus4rock U mean Yusuf Islam ;)

    Yeah sure, but I would love him to do Nature Boy, the David Bowie version :)

  • @Bleubaihr yeah him haha. ive never heard that song ill look it up.

  • @cronus4rock I think I might die if he did...So, yeah. I'd love that. :P

  • @DESERVANT i would too, it would be awesome

  • Can't wait to hear him doing another masterpiece on this Wednesday.

    Thumbs up if you can't wait either :D

    Casey FTW! =)

  • Casey WILL win this. He is AMAZING! I could listen to him alllll day long <3 Love him!

  • This guy right here needs to win! He was my favorite the second I heard his voice.

  • it makes me warm inside. i love casey and i'm rooting for him to win.

  • Him and Haley in top 2!!!! Casey is my fav but Haley is a really close second for me. I would love if either one won.

    I think Casey hasn't been doing as good since the live performances. But he has major talent, his auditions (especially "Georgia on my mind") were great. He is an amazing singer and has great personality.:)

  • @IcyHot311 remember, he's only 19!!! What a personality for such a young guy! Love him.

  • @mooresus He's actually 20 now.

  • @kakkikorva haha! I got a bunch of replies saying that! He was 19 when they were auditioning.

  • @mooresus seriously? 19? he's awesome!!!

  • he's super talent i hope and i wish that he will be super famous 

  • @mooresus no he's 21

  • @mooresus Hes 21

  • @mooresus He's 20 actually.

  • @IcyHot311 - I completely agree with you! especially since Pia's gone now :'(

  • @IcyHot311 they're my top two as well. they freaking rock my world.

  • LOVE CASEY ABRAMS! i HOPE HE WINS. He definitely deserves it. :)

  • casey, lauren, and james are my favorites! 

  • This dude is bad ass!!! i love haley too but casey has his own style...i like!!

  • he kinda sounds constipated in spots, otherwise it was okay. still can't forgive him for butchering "teen spirit".

    had such high hopes for him after hearing his version of "georgia on my mind" with the stand up bass. so far i've been disappointed.

  • @FlipsideBallah : I sort of agree with you. Put A Spell On You was great, but I forget if that came before or after Georgia On My Mind. This song wasn't half bad either, but he didn't COMPLETELY butcher Smells Like a Teen Spirit.

  • I LOVE YOU CASEY ABRAMS!!!!!!!\ <3

  • Casey is far from my favorite this season, but I did like this performance no crazy antic's no screaching nothing on fire just sitting on a stool and performing the song as it was meant to be sung.............. beautiful

  • he's a good singer, as most of the top 12 are. but after being saved, couldnt take his drama, like as if he won the finals. yeah, he's special, and different. but, dont think he'll make it to the finals. but he sang 'your song' well, which was achieved when being humble and listening to advice by the producer. b4 this he was too cocky, i think. which i think made americans producing such a result 2 weeks ago... its difficult when ppl has started to feel smthng not nice about someone... turn off.

  • AMAZING... This gave me chills!

  • very pitcy...a lot of notes where not hit right...most of the high notes that were not hit right were covered by his growling....you will go home next...

  • he was just okay. haley kicked his ass that night. XD... but i think he deserves to stay there more than most of them. :)

  • vote vote vote

  • very pitchy....and very BORING -_- zZZZZ

  • BORING -_- zzzZZZZZ

  • Im glad he is back....he has been kind of dissapointing the last couple weeks. Great great performace

  • @snwman5 whoa. i wonder how casey would react if he saw that. xD

  • @snwman5 wtf...he's good but  not that good. thats is an overstatement!

  • @snwman5 what?

  • great song and amazing performance. great makeup from that ok motown performance you did last week.

  • anyone else think he looks just like seth rogen? dubtiff

  • casey&haley . <3

  • I have the biggest crush on him

  • fuck he's so good.

  • things that i do evryday after woke up from sleep:

    brushing my teeth...

    making a cup of coffee...

    reading front page of newspaper...

    n listening to casey singing again n again of course!!!

    =p

  • I am so happy that casey decided to do a slow and flowing song so good for his voice.

  • best year of idol ever? im so happy casey decided to try out this year. its weird to think he was a regular person like us
