On Wednesday's "American Idol," the crowd was crazy (except for poor Hollie Cavanagh), the judges slightly cracked (comparing Phillip Phillips to the lovechild of Steve McQueen and Johnny Cash) and the music actually current. Shoot, for a second there, you probably thought you were watching "The Voice" or something.

Yes, it was a big night in "Idol" land, as the top seven took on songs from this decade with surprisingly good results. Most soared and scored, and though we can't believe no one did an Adele tune, we've gotta say, the remaining contestants definitely brought the goods. Perhaps they should just sing contemporary...
