Seriously America? You We didn’t wait long before you we delivered the first shocker in this season’s American Idol.
SPOILER ALERT: Following Wednesday night’s Motown performances, it was Thia Megia, Casey Abrams and Stefano Langone who found themselves in the bottom three.
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.
Casey then sang I Don’t Need No Doctor to save his life. But he didn’t have to sing long because the judges know more about talent than we the fans. Randy Jackson waived his hand and motioned Casey to stop mid song.
“We know who you are, we don’t need to hear you sing anymore, do we, Steven?” Randy asked.
Steven Tyler agreed of course, “No, this is crazy wrong. We’ve made the decision here to keep you on.”
The 20-year old Casey was shaken to his core, and you could read his lips say: “Oh my f*cking god!” He asked the judges, “It’s top 11, why would you do that?!”
Jennifer Lopez told Casey: “We just want you to get back to being the musician that you are. No more antics. No more anything. Let the people feel your soul. And you’re gonna stay. You deserve to be here.”
Casey said later,”I thought that they wouldn’t use the save, because there’s 11 people. It’s unreal. I started singing, and the fact that you cut it scared the stuff out of me.”
Because the judges used their one save of the season, two of our finalists will be voted off next Thursday. And because there are no more saves left, America, WE have to get it right from now on! Watch the video of how it went down:
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.
Abrams growled through yet somehow charmed us again in his rendition of Marvin Gaye’s I Heard It Through the Grapevine.
After last week’s fearless but a bit screechy-sounding Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, Casey sounded more crisp this week and was much more in control of his voice.
“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.
American Idol fan favorite Casey Abrams missed Thursday night’s show because he is currently hospitalized for the second time this year.
“You’ll notice that Casey is missing from the group. He is unfortunately sick and in the hospital right now,” host Ryan Seacrest announced tonight. “Wave to him … We know you’re watching buddy, feel better. A shout out to the nurses. Get back here soon, okay?”
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.”
The Hollywood Reporter says Abrams suffers from ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease which affects the lining of the large intestine. STRESS is a major trigger of ulcerative colitis symptoms and being on Idol must come with an unimaginable amount of stress.Per THR, Abrams has apparently had two blood transfusions as a result.
Casey – here is hoping for a fast recovery for you!
