Casey Abrams -- one of the top 24 finalists on "American Idol" -- was rushed to a hospital moments ago after complaining of severe stomach pains ... TMZ has learned. 
Sources connected to the show tell us ... 19-year-old Abrams was rehearsing at CBS Television City when he began to feel sick.
We're told Abrams was taken to a nearby hospital -- where he's expected to stay overnight ... possibly longer.
And it gets worse -- now that Abrams has made the top 24, he's scheduled to tape a performance on Friday ... along with the rest of the top 12 men. But if Abrams is not well enough to take the stage on Friday, we're told he will be eliminated from the competition.
Abrams is currently being examined by doctors.

WAY TO SPOIL THE SHOW!!! I DIDN'T KNOW HE MADE THE TOP 24!!! SHOULD OF KNOWN BETTER NOT TO READ ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH IDOL THAT IS POSTED ON YOUR SITE!!!
swear if those ghost hunters dont stop staring at me Im disbanding you TMZ
Thanks for spoiling it for me. Seeing as tonight's show is still in progress you could have at least put a spoiler alert notice up.
Drama Drama Drama did that last year with the lesbo girl with bad teeth
Okay seriously... if you didn't know he was going to make the top 24, you haven't been watching. It was clear even from his audition he was going through.
I hope he gets better though. It would be a shame if he had to leave the show. I think he'll be in the top 3. Lauren Alaina's gonna win the whole thing though.
Conspiracy theory people will have a field day with this considering that Jessica girl got so sick she had to drop out.
TMZ wth lol .....spoiled it..who wins survivor plz do tell
I get severe stomache pains if Im actually near a tv that has American Idol on. I cant imagine how awful it would be actually being there.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not Casey!!!! I hope he gets well.. I really really like his Jazz style of music.. He makes it more fun to listen to :-D
that sucks..casey and the guy from compton are my two faves to win.
