Casey was Saved!

I am a huge American Idol fan. I have been watching for many seasons now and I love the art of watching an artist and their journey to stardom. To me it is so interesting to see this process, you get to know the individuals true personality and sometimes the drama of how fame can do a 360 to certain people. This season has been off the chain. I didn't think they would find the talent that they have found. I kinda thought it was gonna be very gimmicky with Steven Tyler, JLO and Randy(who drops the name game every time he gives some feedback). I was completely taken back by their choices. There were a few question marks in the top 24 but for the most part, all the contestants had an individual sound and star like quality to them. One of my favorites from the beginning (audition episodes) was Casey Abrams. His rugged voice and bee bop soul is what sold me on him. This kid is a true artist. His is unbelievably talented and his choice of instruments is what really intrigued me.
I'm not really a "voter". I did in the beginning seasons but every time I did vote, the person I voted for went home.. I sort of felt as if I was bad luck. I gave up on it and kinda left it to America. I thought Casey was a shoe in for this round. Hell I thought he was good till top 3. And again to my surprise he was the one who was sent packing tonight. Until... he was cut off in the middle of his goodbye performance and was SAVED! The look on his face is what killed me. He was so sincere, so taken back, so grateful, (looked like he saw a ghost) and he couldn't believe what was happening. Then he ran off stage to hug his parents and that is when I lost it. I am such a cry baby its ridiculous but, if you can't see the gratitude in this, you are an ice queen. Sorry, its true. All in all, I am SO happy for Casey and I hope he will live up to the trust and faith that the judges have in him bc I believe it too and I am sure there are plenty of others that feel likewise. Have a look for yourself...


What are your thoughts? Should Casey have gone home? Who was your pick to go?
