OMG you're a true artist. I watched you preform this last night and WOW. I can breathe you and you're magical, like the holy spirt sings through you. If anyone deserved a standing ovation from the judges it was you. It seem Randy initiates those. Try a song that would appeal to him. YOU ARE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL AND MORE.
this is the great voice that i ever heard on this American Idol competition.Phillip Phillips your no.1 your the next American Idol GOD BLESS YOU.you can make it man>you can be a big star,and hurry make your first Album.your like Steven Victor Tallarico(Steven Tyler)
This guy is the man. Impossible to stop watching and amazing to listen to.
This reminds me of the video where the world renowned violin player is playing in the Subway hall and no one pays attention. One day you are playing a bar and the next you sell out arenas. Keep gettin it Phil!
Phillip is simply amazing. His voice goes from blues to rock, I bet he can do rock pop very well too. And a ACCOUSTIC VERSION OF LIKE THIS OF "IN THE AIR TONIGHT" OMG! It's as mind-blowing as "THRILLER" that Phillip performed on AI. GUY IS GENIOUS" HE TURNS ANY MUSIC HIS OWN! And WHAT A VOICE! So soulful, beautiful, soft yet with that wild streak. He's handsome, talented, humble, the complete package.
I cant get enough of this guys voice! pure beauty right there. he really didnt need AI. bet he gets "voted off" early so some money grubbin music producer can try to suck the beauty right out of him. dont let them change you phillip! you are perfection just as you are.
@RyanP91 a settle down, well didn't think I was that overblown on that pick but yes I realize there's a lot more talent. But you kind of have to look at it mathematically. Where do most of the votes come from? Teeny boppers with iPhones and who do they spam vote for...yeah. As for me, I pick a PYT to cast my votes for but they have to sing...
Hi there from Prince Edward Island, Canada. You are an amazing singer & musician and I know you are going places. American Idol 2012 winner, for sure!!!!
Wow. When a good musician plays he lives the music and makes his audience feel what he is feeling. I mean you either have it or you don't. This guy has it. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!
I can hardly wait for Hollywood week, which I'm assuming is how long we have to wait to see Phillip again. You're absolutely fantastic man. Stay true!
He'll get my vote every single week. I only get the chills on very special cases, and everyone one that did it went on to win American Idol. He gave me the chills!
He isn't Dave Matthews Jr he is Phillip Phillips Jr he has his own name and his own talent and I think he can win this season :D... good luck Phillip!
@adriann222....i second that...ive never voted for american idol...ive actually kinda thought it was lame im forced to watch it with my girlfriend...but this dude is a straight up gifted person his voice needs to be heard
incredible performance on idol. So authentic. Stay real. Looking forward to watching you compete. You are already a star. Put Vancouver, Canada on your tour schedule.
I just saw on American Idol and WOW, another talent hidden away comes out of the wood work. I will follow this artist just as I have following Tyler Ward for the past year and a half!! What a sound, cant wait until we hear with some good recording equipment.
It's going to be interesting to see how the number of views of this and other pages jumps after his audition on Idol tonight. It's at 422 as of 10:10 p.m. central time on January 18, 2012.
I ususally don't like other peoples versions of my favorite songs, and this has always been one of my very favorites...but to be honest...I love your originality and style and how you put your heart and soul into it so much that I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE IT! Even more than Phil Collins!!!!
Awesome performance on Idol tonight. It was crazy how they compared you to James Brown. You were more Dave than Dave. Best of Luck, play some Dave and his covers
i don't know if any viewers are dave matthews fans but in my opinion he is the next dave! he dances, sings, carries himself, and looks a little bit like him. i'm ready to buy tickets to see already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@5f4hb8 Yeah I felt the same, in his other video for Thriller I posted how I thought he was singing a Dave Mathews Band song on American Idol for a second, just before realising it was freaking Thriller!!... Craziness... Dude is awesome though. Not a clone at all.
unbelievable voice bro and the bluesy sound you have in your voice is awesome hope they vote you all the way through, you deserve it excited to see what you can do..
@150grnballistictip gonna have to give you a "settle down", he was really good, but it was only the first episode, the first city, let's see what the rest of America has to offer before we go crowning any winner
dont like this song but the guy is good
