20 year-old Phillip Phillips, who works at his daddy’s pawn shop, owned the first day of auditions with performances of “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder and “Thriller” by Michael Jackson during the American Idol Season 11 debut in Savannah, Georgia on Wednesday (January 18)- watch video below.

Classic. Guitar. Funky funk. I loved “Superstition”. Jennifer Lopez thought he had like electricity going through his body and called him a little James Brown. They asked him to do something with his guitar and he killed it with his own rendition of the classic “Thriller.” AND he is CUTE. I officially LOVE PHILLIP!
