Just checking in this morning and wanted to say thank YOU for your post! Yes, Casey is the one with the beard - he's funny and entertaining; judges say he's the most talented one they've ever had on Idol. I wouldn't go that far, but he does play several instruments and I guess he vocals are great, but I don't think they're better than some of the others - James included. I do think Casey will be in the Top 3, but hope that James & Scotty will be the other 2.
Tonight is "Motown" night - if you get a chance, listen for James. Don't know what any of them will be singing but hoping for the best from all of them. :)
