Casey James: American Idol Top 12 Performance [March 16th,2010)

Up third: Casey James (Its All Over Now) This was right in his wheelhouse, that bluesy, smoky feel. It works. Is it his moment, as Simon likes to call it? Not yet.
Randy: The Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Johnny Lang, bluesy rocky.. I loved it. Youre back.
Ellen: I thought it was fantastic (after a lame lesbian joke)
Kara: Tonight, you were a rock star.
Simon: For me, that was like an audition performance, not using this stage and the platform you have. You have to start pushing yourself.

Casey is the real deal, and he's uniquely positioning himself for a HUGE record contract. He's the complete package ... Stevie Ray Vaughn mad-skills lead guitar, soulful bluesy-country vocals, Brad Pitt good-looks and a toweringly charismatic yet modest personality. I don't see anyone beating Casey for the top Idol spot.

Love Casey his attitude! It's hasn't all went to his head. Love him.

I wanted to throw eggs at Simon during Season 9 and the stuff he said to Casey. Two years later though and after seeing Casey several times in concert, I sort of get what he was saying. TODAY - Casey OWNS the stage!! Performance-wise, he's come a long long way since Idol days!! I still think he should have won that year. And I FOR SURE think he should be invited back to perform on a show!! His duet with Brett Michaels is legendary! And - in my opinion - he saved the Idol tour! Brilliant!!

i know that you let this comment 2 months ago but i just want to say this: ellen was brought to the show for entertainment; this whole show is jut entertainment because they need high ratings

if this show was just to discover and or shape talents then the judges will be high class musicians

Such a bad ass

[riot9310]

its a SHOW people... they need someone like ellen to make people laugh and make it interesting. not everyone is so obsessed with the show that they'll still watch it if its boring.

casey does have a lot of talent though.

oh and in case u didnt no the music business requires sex appeal. few ugly people make. unfortunately thats how the world is

My favorite Casey James song, and he sung it on my birthday!!

Simon never tells Crystal that she has to do more than just stand there with her guitar. Casey IS a star! Simon not so much. As for Ellen, her remark was stupid, she is always bringing attention to herself instead of giving honest critique. There are alot of guys that love Casey's music, its not about sexual attraction. The judges need to stop pushing that. It takes away from Casey's amazing talent.

I can't believe how rude Ryan is on this show!! He's a being a cliched American presenter 'dramatic with no substance' mixed with moody bitchyness.

Simon is always like that and he just insulted Ellen without giving her a chance to respond...time for a new presenter for this show!

Him and Lee Are the best.
