Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler were especially knocked out by Casey Abrams professional level performance on American Idol, as the singer rocked out a Maroon 5 song "Harder to breathe."

Abrams just slammed a homerun performance as he worked every inch of the stage like a seasoned pro. Following Casey Abrams' Wednesday night performance, Tyler even noted that Abrams brought jealousy out from his fellow contestants because "You're so f***ing great."

Moments earlier, seen in the video below, Casey came right up on Jennifer Lopez as he closed the number and planted a kiss on her cheek, to which Tyler smiled and said that is "what I've been trying to do for four months."

Taking it in stride, Abrams quipped: "I kissed Jennifer Lopez and made Steven Tyler swear." Not a bad night.

In weeks previous, Casey floored Randy Jackson too, who said of Casey: "We have real, true artists on this show," Randy says. "I don't think we've had anybody exactly like you, ever."
