UPDATED!! Casey James has full Labor Day weekend of shows with pics, videos & more!

When Casey and the boys did their little roadtripping around Florida, he talked to radio stations as he usually does, and  97.3 KISS Country does something they call  Summer Concert Series, and the interviews are so awesome....

"One constant between the up-tempo charmers and sad or sexy love songs is the presence of James’ guitar. If you saw him on Idol, you know that he doesn’t leave home without it, professionally speaking. Judge Jennifer Lopez was even moved at one point that this was a singing contest, not a multi-talent competition, as if James bringing along his trusty axe constituted some kind of newly officially sanctioned cheating. But for him, playing guitar while he sings is no more a “choice” than being country."
To read the entire interview.... click HERE.

Did the person doing this interview just say "Jennifer Lopez" by accident, because to the best of my knowledge, Jennifer wasn't there that year.....Kara DioGuardi was.  But I don't want to cause a fuss, just wanted to bring it to the attention of any new fans who may be reading this, that Jennifer was not a judge the year Casey was on American Idol Season 9....

According to Mediabase at All Access, "Crying on a Suitcase" is sitting at #27 but without a bullet, and he's lost 20 spins this week, so we really need to call those radio stations and keep requesting it!!

  1. You are right about the "judge" mention in that article. I noticed it too. It was Kara that kept saying Casey was "jam-banding" too much & it was more about the singing. I didn't ever agree with that at all and I know a lot of us didn't either. I think the guitar enhances the singing. It's a treat to listen and watch him play his guitars as well as hear his singing. It made him stand out over all the other contestants, to me, anyway. That article was pretty good otherwise. Always enjoy reading about Casey! :)

  2. Thanks Robin!! Yep, Kara did not like Casey playing that guitar!! And I guarantee you, it was her that constituted that week that NO ONE got to play their instruments!! Remember that?? Cuz Crystal was like Casey, she wanted her guitar with her. And they made them all lay 'em down on Sinatra week!! That was so rediculous.

    I just had it brought to my attention that I had repeated the same paragraph twice. I think that happened because my pic of Casey came up in the wrong place so I copied and pasted the paragraph above the pic where it was suppose to be, then forgot to go below and delete it! lol!! Oh well, it was late and I was tired. :)
