Casey James
Casey in rehearsal with Connick: "I'm so frickin' nervous!"
Connick: "I think he's gonna have a blast."
His song is "Blue Skies". Starts off a bit flat and never really recovers. The whole thing is wobbly.
Randy: Yo, yo, yo. This was like for me your worst performance, dude. Pitchy all the way through. Out of your element. Knew it would be tough for you. Didn't work!
Ellen: I thought it was a bad idea to have the piano on stage (another laugh) The whole thing is about being smooth and having swagger, but that was very stiff. Didn't feel effortless. I have to agree with Randy.
Kara: Took you a long time to relax. YOu kind of sound like a lamb (or a goat) work on your vibrato. Really out of control.
Simon: Good news--band was great. Bad news--you weren't that great. Came across as uncomfortable.
Connick: It's hard to hear up here. You killed it two hours ago (in rehearsals) but that won't help you now. (chuckles)
I hear that, baby. Loud and clear!
