Casey Abrams, Have You Even Seen The Rain, American Idol, Full Video, Top 9, 4.6.11

[@hscott51]

Superbly done. The combination of the bass and the mandolin was pure genius.

[@MsHeavensarrow]

I miss Casey. He was a fave of mine,lol, love that personality he has and love his music. He's great. I think Phil Phillips is a nice young man too and sings well so it's not nice to bash him. Just appreciate them both :-) Everyone is an indiviidual and each has their own talent. Loving listening to this now. Sing it Casey! You are such a delight!

[@canucanoe2861]

I still have a hard time with him not winning Idol. He blew 'em all out of the water.

[@suzettedexter9183]

This performance always puts a smile on my face. I hope that Casey will go on tour. He is awesome!

[@RufusThePorkshank]

Best version of Have You Ever Seen The Rain... ever.

[@MuseDuCafe]

Steven Tyler said it best: a true Musician. Win or not win the show, Abrams is the real winner out of all the contestants....

[@myjacobs]

He is the best ever Idol contestant and deserves to be seen as the original artist he is!

[@myfranchisepartners]

outstanding musician, incredibly easy to like

[@SnakePepper]

One of the greatest songs ever. He did a great job!

[@Saramore13]

Casey and Haley are the best singers/musicians to EVER be on this ridiculous show. God, I could listen to those two for days. this is a cover!

[@jonathanrivera8447]

he makes every song his own performance this guy is amazing!

[@fiestynfun]

A treasure! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@randommii15]

Yes!!! someone agrees!!!!! i love them!!!!!!!!

[@JoelApplegate]

He was one of a very small percentage of "idols" who is a bona fide musician. Still one of my top faves.

[@violetholt5284]

I've seen CCR do this song in concert twice but this version made me an eternal fan of this most talented and adorable singer.

[@ivettszabo2216]

you are incredible))))

[@atta1798]

..he is a born musician......he does not need the approval of the American Idol........

[@nfuentes289]

gives me chills every time ♡

[@angelalacandalo989]

I want to see more of casey! Still a fan since AI

[@ShakiraFan22]

whats up scotty??? we are all here...watching casey.

[@Saramore13]

yeah james is also so amazing. they were definitely my top three for sure. oh well, as long as they have great careers going forward that is all that we can hope for.

[@dwoodsum84]

Casey and Haley really did get the shaft from this show! They were BOTH AMAZING! The voice would've been a better show for both of them. This was the season I lost all hope in Idol. I just couldn't believe they let those two unbelievable talents slip past their fingers. And both of them aren't getting the radio time they deserve today. Haley's single of Free was amazing and why wasn't it played on the radio? Why isn't Casey's music played? Its unfair and very aggravating!

[@lilliann3119]

I love his voice do much

[@asianal]

Too good

[@MrIrishland]

one of the best

[@millerk115]

This is the only american idol contestant that deserves to win. Completely original sin! Stand up bass? What who even plays those? A completely skilled musician, that's who...

[@LILFOXRACER]

his voice is perfect for 99.9% of CCR songs

[@joeguitargod]

I wholeheartedly agree with you! James Durbin is without a doubt one of THE best singers that AI has ever had! I think it's absolute bull shit that he didn't win. Especially considering who did win it. James is light years ahead of him in all facets of singing.

[@martysomoco]

John Fogerty must be pleased by and proud of this cover.

[@reekaree]

casey makes me see the rain♥

[@MyGiba123]

My idol!!

[@mswan393]

this song is called "have you ever seen the rain" not "even"

[@fung2011ny]

I know he got sign to record company may be you check it out on he website.

[@rosejacktruelove397]

does anyone know if his coming out with a cd

[@undertakerz009]

totally agree Avatarkid

[@shako9876]

I do... But I completely agree!

[@hoodiepat]

i didnt hear any anger in phillip's version just pure joy while he sang the song.

[@saneagain2002]

Is it just me or is the title driving others crazy? The title of song is 'Have you EVER Seen the Rain?'! Also, the lyric change to "Have you ever seen the rain coming down ON a sunny day" is aggravating. This mirrors the lines "When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day" and "shining down like water" The juxtaposition of rain and sunshine is what makes the lyrics. Hard to believe Jimmy Iovine did not correct him. I missed this episode, so I am just now seeing this.

[@insignificantshay]

omg u r so oringinal

[@reekaree]

5 dislikes!? 5 people cant see the rain, or they thought it meant "dis i like" lol

[@lilliann3119]

Lauren?

[@PrimoRook6]

He sounds just like lee evens when he sings this.

[@Derbyl0tzal0ve]

When he first started i was like...........-_- n then in the middle i started paying attention and then when it got to 2:50 i was like DAMN unbelievable talent

[@hazirahhanifar]

I'm not hating on Phillip, but this is better than his version of the same song

[@juliusadriandavid4878]

This is Way Better than Phillip Phillips Version!

[@checkfoldcallraise]

Fozzy Bear!

[@dwoodsum84]

PS..this season of idol had unbelievable talent, but what happened is the good ones kept getting knocked off WEEK AFTER WEEK it was so upsetting. I thought it was gonna be the best season and it could have been but the wrong people got sent home. I have nothing personal against Scotty or Lauren but neither were ready to be in the top two talent and vocally wise. They didn't deserve it over the others. Now, its just all over for Idol and the voice is the show to watch!

[@Keirabug]

Scotty who?

[@allsportsworld2449]

call me stupid or whatever, but I like Casey's version of this song better than CCR. (And I love CCR). Casey is a beast of a musician.

[@keavonpryor2823]

that was cold

[@reagangal]

Who won this season? Why wasn't it wasn't Casey??

[@TheUrbanZone]

I still don't know why this guy didn't win

[@Earthgazer]

almost all bluegrass bands

[@checkfoldcallraise]

FOZZY BEAR!!

[@LucDaRocka1]

I play standup bass.... lol

[@Pyrowaffle]

Phillips. You have just been pwnd

[@Madgod711]

don't forget James Durbin

[@MrCOOPER143]

casey , i love ya , but get with the blues honey , thats where you are sooooooooooo great ,, you are great , but when you do blues you are greater

[@Skyclub12]

casey's version is sweet, relaxed and pleasing to the ears while philip's got a tone of anger, difficulty reaching the high note and just trying to push it too much to sound like the original. sorry, not a hater here just telling truth. can't handle the truth? then that's your issue, not mine.

[@treymartins122]

yeah this cover is miles ahead of phillips

[@Madgod711]

The only reason Scotty won is because he was singing Country songs.

[@DrFinkelstein99]

This is a much better version than Phillip Phillips. Phillip ruined it and stomped on the corpse.

[@jmpetra]

Yes, Casey did better without the "help"

[@domjonas]

Phillip Phillips and Casey were NOT on the same seasons idiots! If you're not happy with the outcome VOTE HARDER. I like BOTH versions of this ;]

[@asianal]

So much better than phillips

[@AvatarKid4]

this is the only good song he has done others not a fan!

[@tammyshort5990]

casey abrams should've been at least the runner up but oh well and phillip shouldve lost

[@Datu_Tinughong]

You're better than phillips bro! Maybe his time has just come. Just wait, maybe ur nxt in turn.

[@troycollins1778]

I disagree, Casey is good and I am a fan, and if you go back and watch his performances, he has very little stage presence, and I don't mean he should be up dancing around, but he looked like he was scared, he kept looking around like he was lost.

[@val8504]

this is NOTHING compared to phil phillips version!!

[@96nyinyiyeyint]

Phillip Phillips is better
