Casey Abrams sang a jazzed up version of the Beatles “I Saw Her Standing There” during the American Idol Top 9 results show.

Super cool cover from Casey. But what the crap is he growing on his face?

    I’ll never get tired of watching him perform; one of the best musician that came out from AI. This is what missing from this season I feel, which why makes it a tad boring.

    He’s awesome. What a nice break from Ballad Idol 2013. Can’t help but love this mad, jazzy… samurai… with crazy beard-ish stuff going on?

    His album has received a nice bump on itunes as well. Its up to #14 overall and #5 in pop.

    This is exactly what is missing from AI this year. Whether or not someone likes Casey’s covers, at least they sound original and unique. Casey sounds like Casey. Most this year are pretty much interchangeable, they are not doing anything unique like we’ve seen in the past.
    I’m glad they had him do this, but they should have had him do one of his originals too. They definately would have had time…

    Casey wasn’t a favorite, but it was good to see some rockin’ life on that stage. Too many ballads each and every week!

  • WestiesRule

    Casey is so talented. I have to close my eyes because his look (although he doesn’t care which is fine) is terrible! I had a bf in 1972 who rocked those mutton chops!

    Fun performance. I still think Casey & Haley would be one hell of a jazz duo.

  • CB40

    Casey’s album is now #13 on iTunes.

    First performance this year I watched two times and paying attention.

    While I still think he was robbed for not being allowed to perform one of his own songs (which are all good IMO), I’m glad to see he did get a bit of a sales bump from this performance. God I miss S10, that season was awesome, and it was the cast that made it awesome!

  • springboard2

    I enjoyed this :)

  • irockhard

    Fun fact I just remembered: Casey and Paul McCartney are on the same label, so perhaps him doing a Beatles cover isn’t so random.

  • Allison

    Casey’s #5 on Amazon music right now. I guess viewers were impressed.

  • FE Swann

    Casey is great. Totally his own man with his own style and his own take on music. He should do great for a long long time in the coffee house circuit…not the absolute big time but good enough to keep him in the business and doing music for a living. I think he’ll continue to develop and will hold the jazz banner high.

  • irockhard

    I can see Pia coming back to perform a cover.

    But I’d rather the ones who have their own music be allowed to perform their own songs. I’m hoping and praying they leave James alone if their intention is for him to perform a cover.

    “And then I ate her.”
    He’s a great bass player, but it invariably feels like he’s trying too hard when I watch him perform.
    But clearly it made people seek out his album, so good for him.

    So much fun, the best performance of this season. Can I vote for Casey? The damn show this season is missing spunk and energy. I’m getting sick of the damn ballads over and over again. Thank you Casey for reminding us how good idol could be.

    This is the Casey I love. Loved this arrangement and I had to laugh at the 3 musicians smiling at Casey.

  • Holden17C

    Talent, charisma, & originality: Everything that’s been missing from “Idol” this season.

    Thanks, Casey.

    tierbee, I can’t help but smile when I’m watching or listening to Casey A – his mad skilz and love of the music comes flying through everything he does – and this appearance was no exception. It was great to see the reaction on iTunes, as people searched out the album. Casey’s kinda sorta pleased with the reaction to his appearance on Idol too: >>Casey Abrams ?@IAmCaseyAbrams 22 Mar
    I’m definitely not mad at this occurrence. http://instagram.com/p/XKbjb-tvEz/

    So glad that Casey’s album got a nice bump…he’s so creative. Bet he gained a few fans from that performance!
