Never watched AI before he was on the show. He picked the song before he realized it had been done a gazillion times already. He checked out all the performancesElliott, Chris Rich, Bo. Casey hasnt had a TV for most of his life. He bought and restored his own house. Hes playing electric guitar tonight Hes a decent guitar player. Although not my fav Idol version of this song, I like this dudes gruff vocals. Casey has confidence and charisma plus good looks. Ill eat my hat if he doesnt make Top 12. Randy says, I dont know if you did the best vocal, but this is the kind of records I would make with youthat was hot. Ellen says, I thought you sounded great, I love you on guitar..but theres a stiffness about youI want to see you perform more. Kara says, Tonight, I got to say, you took 2 steps backward for meyou are a great lead guitar player, but everything that was distinct about your vocals went away. Simon says, Im kinda with Kara here, you turned into somebody you will see in any bar in America, I dont think you had the grit in your voice to make that work. Hm. I disagree. It wasnt the perfect vocal, but not because he lacks grit. Aw, I dont think Casey was expecting to be dissed.

Damn Sexy. ♥ it!

Randy was spot on. This was a wow moment. Being a singer doesn't have to be that alone..you add in that mean guitar and you have greatness. Kara was ready to be negative no matter what. Casey was having fun and it showed.

I have always liked Kara:s comments. However I thought that she was the dirt, in this one. Horrid remark.
