He almost went home last week, but on Wednesday’s American Idol, Casey Abrams put forth a gutsy performance to prove that the judges wisely used their one save of the season.
Watch Casey put on a sweet falsetto run:
When American Idol judges used their one save of the season on Casey Abrams, Abrams was mystified and asked them, “It’s top 11, why would you do that?!” Well, Jennifer Lopez provided an answer to Abram’s question on Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show Wednesday.
The problem with using the one save of the season is that the full decision of who will be crowned our Idol winner will lie in our collective hands.
And well, America, we haven’t always been right. Or even close to right. Do the names Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry and what we did to them shake your nerves..even just a little bit?
Lopez is not worried. “I really feel we put 11 amazing contestants in front of them, and now it’s [about] who their favorite is, who’s going to be their American Idol. I didn’t realize I was going to fall in love with the contestants the way I have and feel for them the way I do.”
OK fans, let’s do this. Let’s get this right starting tonight….

TMZ reported earlier this week that Season 10 American Idol hopefuls got too freaked out living in their beautiful but haunted $100K/month Bel Air mansion after experiencing too many wacky supernatural events. The Idols demanded they be moved out and the show’s producers finally obliged and relocated our frightened hopefuls to an undisclosed location this past Monday. Continue reading
American Idol is so good right now that it’s hard to remember that so many of us deemed the show dead after Simon Cowell‘s departure from the judges’ panel.
Seriously America? You We didn’t wait long before you we delivered the first shocker in this season’s American Idol.
Before it was all over, Thia and Stefano were told they were safe and America’s collective jaw fell to the floor as Casey found himself alone on the chopping block and in jeopardy of going home.
Wednesday night’s pimp spot on American Idol belonged to the show’s lone rocker, James Durbin.
Durbin sang Stevie Wonder‘s gritty urban anthem Living for the City, and showed off his incredible vocal power and range.
Sure, there were lots of yelps and shrieks and of course some Adam-Lambert-like histrionics, but he gave the song his signature rock grit, and reduced Jennifer Lopez into squealing five, six, or possibly even seven audible, “Oh my Gods!” Lopez continued: “It’s just an incredible thing to watch. You leave me speechless!”
Apparently not “speechless” J.Lo, just with nothing else to say but, “OMG!”
Watch Durbin’s performance for yourself:
Dude looks like a lady Zach Galifianakis.
Casey Abrams tried to clean up after the scare he gave little girls across America last week when he howled through his performance by sleeking to a smooth finish his crazy locks on Wednesday night’s American Idol. Yet somehow he unintentionally ended up looking like the famous comedian.
“I think you’re the perfect entertainer,” Steven Tyler cheered on. “Perfect pitch and perfect mix of crazy-ass out-of-control ego and that’s what makes an artist today.” Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson were in agreement with their fellow judge, calling Abrams very unique.
Seems as if the male contestants on American Idol can breathe a collective sigh of relief and feel safe..at least for a little while because for the second week in a row, the bottom three contestants during elimination night were all female.
Karen, a student at the esteemed Berklee College of Music, was the last remaining contestant who got on the show via Idol‘s new online audition system on Myspace.
“It’s like I’ve been on this journey for such a long time now, and this is my last opportunity,” Rodriguez said right before singing her last song. “I’m trying not to cry.”
Who rounded out the bottom three? It was Haley Reinhart and Naima Adedapo.
American Idol fan favorite Casey Abrams missed Thursday night’s show because he is currently hospitalized for the second time this year.
Absent any other information, Abrams later tweeted: “hey guys, thanks for the well wishes, I got some nice fresh blood in me and feeling better. People at Idol & Cedars are treatin me real good.”
Casey – here is hoping for a fast recovery for you!
And the first casualty of American Idol Top 13 is….drum roll…
