Phillip Phillips: Not Afraid of "Superstition" on American Idol

Did American Idol save its best for last Wednesday?

Maybe not quite, but with Phillip Phillips closing the show with a rock version of the Stevie Wonder classic "Superstition," it certainly went out on a high note.

The song has been done on the show before, he acknowledged, but never like this. On a night when the contestants honored Stevie and Whitney Houston, most went the ballad / traditional route or played to the songs' R&B roots. Not Phillip.

Watch the night's most energetic (if not the best) performance below:

He's the "most different" artist they've got, according to the judges, and a strong talent to boot. P-squared should be a lock to advance after this ... agree?
