Casey Abrams has proven for two weeks in a row that he deserved to be saved by the American Idol judges.
He said on Wednesday night’s episode that he feels he must “give 150 percent” every time he takes the Idol stage to make the judges, and America, proud of him. Casey, we already are! You are amazing. [By the way call me! Seriously, call me – I have some life-changing info for you!]
Casey was accompanied by his upright bass for the first time on live competition and performed Have You Ever Seen the Rain? by Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty. He had the right raspiness, jazziness, confidence, cool factor, grunt and growl. Way to go Casey. Yes, we are proud!
Randy Jackson said: “You definitely did justice to that song.” About Casey’s bass, Randy said, “You’ve put it in popular music, dude. This is revolutionary!”
Steven Tyler loved the performance so much that he said Casey should put wheels on the base and take it everywhere! He gushed: “You’re such a true musician; every time you sing, you bring something different.”
“That’s exactly where you belong – right there, with your bass,” Jennifer Lopez said.
Watch Casey for yourself:
