Is this the least offensive American Idol performance ever? To our ears, probably. Fort Worth, Texas’s Casey James, one out of nine contestants left on this season’s show, belted out a completely believable version of John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy” last night as part of Idol’s Lennon/McCartney themed episode, and later admitted that he got choked up mid-song. One things for sure: dude knows how to play the guitar.

What do you think of James’ version?
