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 "THRILLER"??? GUY IS GENIOUS. Nobody thought about doing it. He's good looking, has a wonderful soulful voice, emotion behind every note and AUTHENTIC.
I actually love him! Him and his talent is overwhelming and amazing. Every time it's his turn to see if he's going home or not I have a mini heart attack. If he leave, so not gonna watch the show! Love It!! :)
@3Glimpse3 his name is reed grimm, he also sang Georgia with the drums and Night has a Thousand Eyes, you have to listen to that too! he is a great all around performer! :)
Theme from Sanford and Son playing in the background during pawn shop footage - lmao! Steven Tyler in a hat borrowed from Joan Crawford - he looks more like a drag queen everytime I see him - very entertaining. I vowed never to watch the show again after the horroble "country singer" who looked like Howdy Doody won. But, I heard the buzz regarding this kid & had to check it out. Excellent singer, passionate and soulful; I hope he does well.
Okay, all of you comparing him to MJ need to just take a listen again...he wasn't trying to be MJ. Are you all mentally incapacitated in some way? This version was bluesy and freaking amazing! If you call yourself a MJ fan, you should be ashamed of yourselves. MJ was all about all kinds of music, so don't hate just because he didn't do the song just so. I thought it was outstanding!!!
Damn he is good his version of thriller was amazing I would download that right now of possible on iTunes he is gonna go far in the competition he reminds me a little of casey from last year cos he had some little growls in there but could tell he wanted to give more but not show everything he can do so he can surprise us later in the show
@Spideymrw Can't agree more. But, it's not just the judges. Watch any of the many "Idol-type" programs and the audiences seem to feel it's more important to scream and carry on, frequently drowning out the performance. Maybe it's the studio idiot prompters "MAKE NOISE!!" or maybe it's just an American thing. I'd love for some singer to just stop and stand there until the cacophony dies down. Probably related to the overall lack of respect for just about everything.
@theofficialohaji were you sleepy or something when you were listening to this....he was good but not close to MJ vocals on thriller....this guy is a bit overrated
Excellent audition. I can see and hear a little Dave Matthews. Look forward to watching him progress. And FWIW, I think his song choices were spot on.
@BRAZILIANANGEL13 Its just the auditions and he's already your favourite? don't get me wrong he has a pretty awesome voice but.. i'll just give you an "lol"...
my favourite american idol contestant, ever <3
