[@percibordeaux]

That Georgia on my mind performance was way too good for tv contest. Casey's a musical genius

[@leanhquoc3109]

+percibordeaux Yes, I'm dying omg omg, no words

[@gjmf]

Exactly.

[@cristiantragone6692]

True

[@outiirmeli]

Hah I love when Randy says: "Oh, really"!

[@GinjaNinja77]

I'm just gonna say it- that "Georgia on my Mind" was the best performance on Idol, ever.

[@edwardriel]

What I've always enjoyed about the "Georgia on my mind" clip, is how the musicians in the background having knowing smiles..almost like, "this guy is one of us!" Classic.

[@armynurseboy]

Edward Riel I always liked the look on the faces of the other contestants that said "Oh, crap...."

[@josemiranda380]

+armynurseboy first thing I noticed how sad those kids look. they're thinking "we got no chance with this guy"

[@andrewt9204]

To this day, Casey and Haley were the two best people to come out of AI. Kelly and Carrie have obviously had great careers, but I haven't enjoyed following two artists more than Haley and Casey.

[@wandertree]

Same!

[@ArashArfaee]

So true!

[@reddevilO7]

Hands down the most musically talented contestant on this show, period.

[@delg1211]

..came back many times over the years for this one... on the way out of 2022, still a top 10 Idol performance. Brilliant

[@janlucarodriguez965]

I hope everyone here in the comments have seen him with postmodern jukebox!!

[@Diego40877]

Janluca Rodriguez I have already seen him live in one of PMJ’s concerts. He’s just incredible!!!!

[@ChickenSoup736]

Yeah!!!

[@Penny-bt4gc]

I found postmodern jukebox on KZbin recently and now hooked on their videos. Casey is a fantastic singer and musician.

[@johnyboytown]

that georgia on my mind is insane good. Not heard tone like that for a while.

[@asianal]

3:22 is the most beautiful transition I ever heard

[@sheenaluce7339]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT!! It's always been my favorite part and when I isolate that section to play it for someone, they look at me like I'm crazy. It ALWAYS gives me goose bumps. It's crazy crazy good.

[@connorjohnson2723]

Lets not forget about 00:37 !

[@muzikology1018]

He was my favorite constant out of any of the singing comps cause I still remember him today

[@davidcattin7006]

"Georgia" moved me to tears! That level of talent is amazing!

[@mmoshfeghi]

One of the best voices in the world. How did he not win this!!!!!!

[@goodlife459]

simply put...Casey is a TRUE artist. You can tell he LOVES music...& his voice...his passion...makes ME love it even MORE...GOD BLESS YOU...MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

[@tc228888]

I had forgotten about him ....and now I vividly remember how GREAT he was ...where is he these days ???...PURE TALENT !!!!!

[@wandertree]

Check out Postmodern Jukebox! He's there with Hayley from the same season. They've had a lot of success.

[@tc228888]

@@wandertree Seeing that they are touring Tennessee...looking at dates around the state . Hope they'll hit Nashville. Loved both Abrams and Haley

[@nathanbradford2833]

i love this guy so much i keep coming back all the time to watch his audition and georgia on my mind. theres no way this guy lost shamefully the way he did. he had to have thrown american idol on purpose just so the world could see his talent and not have to sing what they want him to sing. just like jacob hogard from hedley did. (jacob asked fans not to vote for him so his fans could let him sing his own stuff instead of being locked into a contract)

[@lelaki88]

Casey's Georgia on My Mind and Why Don't You Do Right are simply G.O.A.T!!

[@Darkmexable]

I love that he is kicking ass now, love him when he appears on postmodern jukebox

[@dy37]

Damn. Nobody was ready for that Georgia on my mind. Beautifully done

[@maggimagumagumaggi2716]

I always come here when I'm sad, this man takes all the sadness away...

[@FireEmblemWarrior14]

Georgia on My Mind was so iconic omg SO GOOD

[@caroltassin4049]

Still Love Casey today. (3-13-19)

[@KristinJohansen1]

Amen to that!

[@PlanetYokoshima]

I wanna marry his confidence.

[@MalloryNewcomb]

After Georgia on my Mind, I would have been scared if I was one of the other hopeful contestants because Casey’s spot should have been so secure. Talk about setting the bar

[@clicktock]

Casey's audition song IS the kind of song I want to hear on a record and over the radio.. So easy to listen to though over the top.. Record please.. Thank you!! :)

[@chachisadventures3378]

Still my favorite contestant ever

[@PokeAvatarHeartr1]

Ohhhh man I remember seeing this on tv four years ago... and I was ten! This season was my absolute favourite, and I loved Casey and Haley!!

[@joselujan5534]

for me one of the best singers i ever heard... hes unic, simple, he has soul amazing!!

[@pinkfluffydreams]

I get chills every time I listen to him, awesome sexy soul voice. Casey to win!

[@DinoRidingGangster]

best Georgia on My Mind ever..

[@polljones8921]

Still watching this in 2017. #talentnevergrowsold

[@FarandAwayHome]

It's 2018 & I still think Casey should have won AI! Fortunately, we found him here and with PMJ. I love you, Casey!

[@adrianglory8083]

can't believe he was 19

[@xenngonzales]

july 2022 and Im still here. Love ya casey!

[@dianaramirez409]

out of the 130k views about 1k are mine lol casey was the perfect example of soul in music!

[@marksfarmcraft1888]

Casey just exudes talent! It;s great when the band is all clapping for him!

[@berringervids]

How did I miss this guy?! Thank you Scary Pockets for introducing him, wish I knew about him long before!

[@tjohnson4517]

Thank you for the upload, been on a past American Idol binge, especially Hollywood Weeks, Casey is a top ten all time favorite of mine. Glad he’s rocking with Postmodern Jukebox with Hailey Reinhardt now

[@lelaki88]

3:20 if it was a dubstep it would be the drop. all the judges are feelin it! DEVINE.

[@TheShoxer]

God im spechless, what words do you use when words like brilliant, amazing and fantastic aren't good enough???? Casey you are from another planet, a freaking music God!!

[@3Glimpse3]

he blows my mind everytime

[@remsutube09]

His talent makes me weep for pure joy!

[@tuliomelooo]

Stunning! So talented!

[@mrpeake429]

To this day that "why don't you do right" rendition is so underrated.. Outstanding

[@ingrid_inthesky]

I fell in love with him back when this first aired. It's great to see this again

[@aelara2755]

just love love love Casey...........

[@LiveLoveLaugh102310]

Apart from Kelly, Carrie, Chris Daughtry and Katherine Mcphee, Casey's one of the contestants that really stuck with me even today. He was so unique.

[@babyinblack]

love the quality of the vid! thanks for this!!

[@kswan4christ]

Musical and vocal brilliance!! I can not stop watching the way Casey's hands glide across that bass. I find it sexy! I love the authentic & spontaneous response that Casey gets from people when he performs.(especially on Georgia!) THAT is the mark of a gifted artist. The way he masterfully ends his songs (especially Why don't you do right) is technically VERY difficult. This kid is crazy talented Y'all! VOTE FOR CASEY!

[@maidentralalala]

I remember seeing this live, loved Casey!

[@kirklove6480]

Ty for putting this together 😊

[@sakupakuOG]

After hearing this performance 2 years ago, I knew he would make it.. amazing persona and awesome, insane voice! always waited for his and Haleys performances.. that was up.

[@maggimagumagumaggi2716]

he warms my heart

[@carlosmessala]

Nice vid post! I became an "almost groupie fan" from Casey after this presentation of Georgia of my Mind. I got chills everytime I hear it. Tnx.

I LOVE THIS MAN!

Brilliance

[@ximena5794]

The fun that Randy had with these auditions was so noticeable on his face

[@LiveLoveLaugh102310]

Casey should've just auditioned for The Voice, his talent would've been more maximized there I think...

[@melaniesky]

I agree

[@edwinholcombe2741]

He is a master

[@MyllenadoCavaco]

3:14 the best part omg , I love it

[@user-os5pg3ch9s]

Да! 🙏

[@beware57]

[@internuts11]

The look of everybody in the room for Georgia where they were like "we're in the middle of a fucking moment that will live in infamy."

[@jaypee8295]

Still the best

[@CEEMarcel]

This kind of music, just home from work is getting you straight up.

[@sithlord13]

[@Speedcuffs100]

Oh, you talented bastard. Excellent, EXCELLENT !

[@emanizzle]

@2:45 randy was having an eargasm as a bass player.

[@danorion369]

fuck these judges know talent like right away... "that was sick good!"

[@rextuner03]

Fucking hell this guy can sing his ass off! Best all around musician I have ever seen on Idol. You can tell that this guy really knows his music!

[@Kasino80]

Just too bad Randy threw him off on Georgia. But it's cool to see Randy be so taken aback at level of talent he's presented with. And Tyler's scream just indicates that they're all in a form of trance.

[@MalloryNewcomb]

Right on about the trance, that’s pretty much exactly it.

[@MyFlyParadise]

3:04 guy is feeling. it.

[@3Glimpse3]

[@mewlith]

[@noebanas4312]

genius..

[@raegilly]

he got signed :D If you search youtube for his name, you may find his channel :)

[@babyinblack]

You should put up the full 2 minute version of why don't you do right in HQ tho, that would be awesome!

[@natefroggy3626]

I wake up in the morning I got Georgia on my mind

[@internuts11]

God that was genius

[@peacetea1001]

Georgia on my mind performance is one I’ll never forget. Jesus Christ from the backing instruments coming in after him, the use of the cello and randy just laughing from how ridiculous his talent is

[@maxamor_fati]

is there a 'love' button??

[@babyinblack]

@kswan4christ I know his version of Georgia makes me swoon. His version of Why Don't You Do Right as well

[@dannymorgan7252]

As a bass player, randy lit up when Casey started plucking that bass

[@spyevil666]

2018.... anyone

[@bommie]

Holy shit, I just realized that he starts playing "Moanin'" by Art Blakey at 1:09 lmao what a fucking legend.

[@hegeliandianetik2009]

I thought moanin was by Mingus

[@PlanetYokoshima]

lol there's no need to promote him to a higher level everytime he's always reached the highest from his first performance~ Also I'm here from Jukebox~

[@repad]

@babyinblack This is the best I could do. Do a KZbin search with.... repad Why Don't You Right full version

[@NMarceloP]

Saben que acaba de hacer? Este tipo es genial.. la cago.

[@raeynahvellkin1498]

Georgia on my mind was nice but for me, personally, I came back here for "Why don't you do right?" I bet Peggy Lee was smiling down at him that day,

[@cristiantragone6692]

Nice? Like a sunny day? I think that was a masterpiece
