Casey Abrams, the only one with the pure talent to possibly challenge Jacob Lusk among the guys, closes out the night on "American Idol."

From the get-go, he takes command with a fierce "I Put a Spell on You" which has the judges grinning.  There's some real fire here. It's not enjoyable per se. He's working hard and it shows. But he can definitely sing, and it keeps you listening.

"You are in your mind good, and out of your mind unreal," Steven Tyler says. "You're sexy, Casey" says Jennifer Lopez, making his night. "You want it bad . . . I loved it."

Randy Jackson liked how he launched himself into the spirit of the song. "More, more, more. Yes, yes, yes!"
