Well, I'm disappointed that Casey is gone - I'll miss hearing him every week, and I'll miss the duets with him and Haley - but...I figure it is probably better for him to have gone now. I think he will have much more creative license than if he had won the whole thing. Some good examples of that are Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry, and Jennifer Hudson. Casey definitely is one of the most talented musicians they have ever had on the show - he can do it all - and what a wonderful personality he has. I LOVED his "going out" performance. He is a special young man and I"m happy that we've been able to have been entertained by him these last few months.
I'll be fine with anybody that wins as long as it isn't Jacob. I've never liked his singing, I can't bear to watch him sing. At first, I thought he was a nice young man - but over the weeks, I've definitely changed my mind...I think it was all an act - he definitely thinks he is "ALL THAT."
Anyway - I'm happy for Casey - I think he'll have a wonderful career in whatever he chooses to do, but I will miss seeing him for the next few weeks.
