Phillip Phillips took to the American Idol 2012 stage on April 18 and managed to fluster celebrity judge Jennifer Lopez with his sexy vocals. Singing a tune by Usher, the hot young singer from Georgia managed to truly own it. With a backup band of acoustical instruments, he played the guitar while seated and absolutely killed it.
