American Idol Recap: Go Home, Casey James!
by Hilton Hater at .We don't mean to be harsh with our headline. At least not too harsh.
But this lackluster season of American Idol can at least be redeemed by the fact that next week's finale will be one of the hardest to gauge in show history. If viewers do the right thing and vote out Casey James tonight, that is.
Kara's crush simply doesn't have the versatility needed come out on top. He underwhelmed last night with both "OK, It's Alright With Me" (his selection) and John Mayer's "Daughters" (the judge's choice for him) and deserves to be eliminated.
This would leave it to Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze, two finalists that should be neck-and-neck after their most recent performances.
DeWyze put on the best of the evening, and one of the best of the season, with "Hallejulah." He's been coming on strong over the last few weeks, while Crystal hasn't been able to match the magic of last month's "People Get Ready."
Below, we rank the six songs played throughout the hour:
- Lee DeWyze, Hallelujah
- Crystal Bowersox, Maybe I'm Amazed
- Lee DeWyze, Simple Man
- Crystal Bowersox, Come to My Window
- Casey James, Daughters
- Casey James, OK, It's Alright With Me
Which performance was your favorite? And is there any chance Casey upsets one of these two and advances to next week's finale?

You said it all. Casey was the only true artist this year and will always be my American Idol....not Dewyze with his overgrown crew cut and dazed expression all the time. He reminded me of a deer on the highway staring into headlights. Sorry, you Lee lovers, but it's my honest opinion. I will buy all of Casey's CD's and none of Lee's. yech!! I felt like he'd been shoved down my throat after the finale last week. I got so tired of hearing him braying over and over that I turned my tv to another channel. I'm not sure I'll ever watch AI again and I'm sure I won't watch x factor or whatever it is that SC's going to do.
Casey is a multi talented guy!Good luck to your career,i support you all the time,fan for a lifetime, I cant wait to buy all your CDs coming...From the Philippines
I hate your title. You got it all wrong America. The two finalists left have no international appeal. Sorry, you can't sell them outside America.
How about you go home and take a good listen at who Casey James really is as a musician then maybe you can come back and post an article with more sense. Writer's blank, I suppose.
MamaGardiner, you are right and I agreed what everything you have stated above. I m from australia and couldnot vote for him. Casey is a very talented musician and his humbleness made him a wonderful singer. I can only wish him well and can't wait to buy his first album.
