Steven Tyler looks like a goon.

[lisaluu]

He made it to top 24 I love him So much

[AKUReeereee]

I'm loving him!!! :*

[doubledown109]

What a complete tool

[nitewars]

what an original talent! the way he dances in place while singing, the way he runs his hand down the fretboard in between chords, the way he winces when he sings. completely original!!!!!

[quazzie11]

@nitewars Not really completely original... ever seen Dave Matthews perform? Not taking anything away from Phillips, but it isn't completely original. I dig the guy.

[pinstripejohnny]

Its poor mans Dave Matthews

[demonicBerith]

Where the fuck is his Los Vegas performance?

[joohia]

Dave Matthews anyone?

glad i wasn't the only one who made the connection.

[SoccaShawty]

He's hot .......

[allyouneedislove2012]

@SoccaShawty ikr! i might be in love!!!!!!!!!

[jadalishis]

that was good..... NO WAIT WHAT AM I SAYING THAT WAS GREAT!!! :) " YOUR GOING TO HOLLYWOOD!!!"

[081099janisacosta]

eddie of pearl jam and dave matthews....

[MustacheAstronauts]

the beginning of his guitar playing even sounds like "so much to say".

this guy certainly is inspired by dave matthews. he has the happy feet, the dave-brow, the guitar... it would be too much of a strange coincidence if he wasn't.

don't hate because he's "ripping off" dave, be happy he's not like every other musician out there.

[KayKayVee21]

I flippin love this guy. Hes cute too :3 I want him to win <3 LOVE HIM!!!!

[TheBigMitchell]

who can make a better version? umm maybe the guy he is acting like Dave Matthews

[abneriel]

Blatant Dave Matthews ripoff. 

[XxFallingWithStyleXx]

So like.. That's his real name.. Right?

[shyannbaby12]

OH my GOSH, I love him. He is soooo flippin cute and has an UHMAZING voice. I hope he wins american idol <3

[lucylulabelle4]

hes smokin! drool! XP

[lucylulabelle4]

Why doesn't someone send him a record deal this second?!

[hanny861]

i'm so inLove with phiL phiLLips <3

[MelissaSorrentino1]

I would totally listen to him on the radio!!!!!

[MelissaSorrentino1]

I LOVE his style and TONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[KolbyWillisMusic]

I think as long as he avoids the higher notes and keeps using that raspy man awesome voice he will be great

[JeffHardyluver1992]

I love him -3 I hope he wins American Idol!

[Nirvana5365]

he is so cute , and plays great !

[najdasarfaraz]

There's something SO Dave Mathews about him. Dave is my main man so anyone who comes close to him gets MY vote!!!!! WOW!

[kyach1108]

Finally someone like Dave Mathews! Got my vote!

[furrcola]

@kyach1108 this is what I keep telling people. Dave is my favorite artist and I can only pray that he does a dave matthews, mumford and sons, or bon iver type cover

[uwsauve]

@kyach1108 Exactly what I thought the first time I heard him too :o

[PAVMATHIE]

If Australians could vote he would get mine, look forward to his first single on his debut album!

[flawlessshaggy1]

anyone heard of the phil phillip's band?

[Hallo2244]

He's brilliant, unique, and sexy :P

[cool9820]

He's not a very good singer.

[kacla2]

Favorite singer out of the american idol...contest right now. [DMB!!!! like it.]

[trulyafriendofpugs]

Um, a young Dave Matthews? I SAY YES! (thank goodness!)

[migast0]

he's got the ray lamontagne thing goin on!

[rileypatrickdeacon]

i can't stop listening to this. unreal. I hope he goes far and releases some albums I need to hear some of this guys music.

[jmlcolorado]

This dude dos remind me a lot of Dave Mathews. But Dave Mathews made it far cause he had personality when he performed. This guy has the same personality and that's 1/2 of winning idol! He's an attractive guy with serious talent and that's going to take him far. His performance tonight on idol was just as good! I defiantly hope to see more of him!

[yanksboy333]

dave matthews style anyone

[scottczan]

@yanksboy333 AMEN

[RandaRobynn]

hes through to group week he made the first round xD

[ayumi13liam]

He is spesial. Really love his voice!

[astrokat1000]

Damn! He's HOTTT

[XxFallingWithStyleXx]

He's so cute! <3

[trylobyte07]

He's one of my fav so far coz he's unique. I think he'll easily be in the top 12 or top 5...unless he mess up badly in group performance or something

I also like Heejun because he's asian and entertaining but I don't think he'll go far though

[derekfourthgear]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[wolvexxi]

Wow, i love him!!! got Thriller stuck in my head all day too! lol he's such a hawtie! <3 and with a rocker voice!!

[HPRWHGareawesome]

Like every time I look at this audition, I have to go listen to Thriller next lol.

[teddybear30100]

Hope he survive in group week. I LOVE HIM. I dont want him to leave.

[LaurenteachesBeauty]

@hemmelight Ikr!

[hemmelight]

Total Dave Matthews vibe on this guy.

[HPRWHGareawesome]

Omg that was beautiful

[Sebaconarroba]

There cannot be a better cover for this song!!!!! The man is awesome! Good for him!!!!!

[konafox]

Dave Matthews!

[iKneelB4Scarecrow]

I... am in love. ;)

[kleopard88]

i love this guy im voting for him everytime on american idol

[somebodeezmomma]

a little Taylor Hicks sound/style

[teddybear30100]

HE IS AMAZING. I'M GONNA BE YOUR FAN FOREVER! :)

[TanyaDarling1]

Philip, how did you ever think to play that song? So clever and really well done! I love your honesty, your guitar playing and when the music moves through your body. Don't EVER stop playing and singing!!!

[MrRockcow]

great

[thebeztgam3rEver]

they all say they are the next American Idol. this kid is truly the next AMERICAN IDOL

[TheNinjaLettuce]

He'd better win

[greengirlkawii]

yeah hes cute

[46664RainbowNation]

I need more music from this guy.

[NastyV3548]

I love this dude, he's hott and he can sing . I will be voting for him! and everyone should send this video to friends!! It needs more recognition!

[JonPine69]

does he remind anyone else like shaggy from scooby doo?

[TheSinisterMister]

Dave Matthews. Lol Yea i see

[TheSinisterMister]

This guy is one within himself. No james brown. No rise. Just a badass

[FlameFullmetalFan548]

He NEEDS to win American Idol! <3

[Tikun123]

All Rise Against fans are cheering for this guy :)

[treystylespro1]

awesome cover of thriller! very cool!

[EFPhiladelphia]

little james brown? huh?

[EFPhiladelphia]

27 seconds---real case you could make that he takes his moves from dave matthews

[Yaffa27]

hes so damn sexy!!! i hope he makes it far =)

[TheGAcoast]

thats my city!!!

[billster96]

Who the FUCK can make a better cover of a FUCKING MICHAEL JACKSON SONG than this shit right here. amazing.

[EverythingisBeasty]

@billster96 Christina Grimme has a pretty good cover of Billie Jean...

[FnClassic]

@cobymiraflor

he's playing around with Am7, the same fingering 2 frets up, and D. The build-up before the chorus is G.

This dude is good, and has a good personality. I agree that gaining success through winning American Idol wouldn't be the best for him; I think the exposure that he got is all he needs.

I disagree with the statement that he's a dave matthews clone. He IS fresh and new, he came up with a sick ass rendition of thriller on an acoustic. don't be a dick.

[xoffxthexheezay]

Really like this guy, but I think if he were to win Idol, it'd ruin him. Hopefully he'll get a record deal, but be able to do his own thing.

[xHarleylovesyoux12]

Once I saw this I thought of Dave Matthews<3 Amazing.

[LucyParrMusic]

so dave matthews

[dundo17]

Great Dave Matthews immitation!

I'm pissed of though at the "ooh, it's-so-fresh-and-new reactions"...

[cobymiraflor]

Can anyone tell me the chords he used in playing this? :)) Please. :)) I beg of you. :))

[ccampbellaz]

close your eyes and imagine who this is.......Dave Matthews Band? incredible!

[Battlefield3Freak12]

This gave me a goddamned boner!

[countryluv630]

Hes soooo cute!

[talkinthatblah2010]

LOVE IT!!!



[lfskynyrd]

Greetings -this was an awesome rendition.of thriller. Thanks Phillip.
