FINAL PERFORMANCES

PHILLIP HAS THE EDGE!

Jessica Sanchez
Although a powerful vocal, I find that the songs are a little too exhausting to listen to for prolonged periods.
She has a great career to look forward to and I'm certain that a great songwriter will find her.
God bless you Jessica. May your journey be a happy one.

Phillip Phillips
The more I listen to Phillip, the more he grows on me. Whether a ballad or rock song, he delivers a strong and steady performance. His interpretation of songs is consistent, original, and sincere.
His winners song, "Your Home", is a masterpiece! With a hint of Rod Stewart and Sting, the song is totally touching and memorable. It passes "the old grey whistle test" with fling colours!
Phillip's delivery was flawless...the perfect storm. Throughout this competition he has shown great humility,sincerity, originality, and an unwavering adhesion to his unique style.
Phillip, you deserve the title. Your groundedness and sense of humour will serve you well as you rock your way through the madness that is the "music Bizz".
Now the work begins.

12 Finalists
All of the twelve finalists have shown their mettle. They are strong, passionate, and dedicated. Each one deserves admiration and respect for the way in which they handled the enormous pressures of the last few months.
God bless you all.

JOSHUA OUT OF THE FINAL!

IDOL'S GREATEST SINGER EVER!

Joshua Ledet, master of his gift, is let down by the American voters.
He was robbed of his rightful American Idol title.
Joshua's vocal power, passion and phrasing, put him alongside the greatest vocalist ever, Tom Jones.
Give it up for Joshua Ledet, he is the next Tom Jones.


* Lisa Marie Presley sang her new song "You ain't seen nothing yet."
She was right.

PHILLIP - SEMI FINAL

JUDGES CHOICE - MADCON


Phillip's first song "Beggin'" left everyone beggin' for more!
He did a great job...strong, passionate.

CONTESTANT'S CHOICE - DISEASE

Matchbox 20 was Phillip's choice for his second performance.
I'd never heard this song before tonight, and so for me, this could have been Phillip's own song. It was made for him!
He was smooth, punctuated, and confident. Amazing phrasing.
There were times, in the lower register, when he sounded like Sting!
I've really grown to like this guy's singing. This is the kind of stuff that has meaning. I wanna put my headphones on and groove!
Judges didn't like it too much....who cares!?

JIMMY'S CHOICE - BOB SEGER

Phil sings the melody!!!! Great tone, lots of feeling and sincerity. Beautiful job Phillip!
...And a standing O from the judges!




WHO'S GONNA WIN!?
