Standing ovation for Casey! YAY! Randy Jackson said Idol never had someone like Casey, a true artist. Genius. Steven Tyler agreed Casey is an artist in the truest sense of the word. Jennifer Lopez said he always brings something special to the music.

That was exquisite. Casey went against Jimmy Iovine’s advice to sing Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight” and believed in himself. Will America really understand what Casey tried to do with this performance? I’m not sure. It’s always a pleasure to hear him and exciting to see what he will do next.
