Phillip Phillips The New American Idol

Phillip Phillips a 21-year old guitar player from Leesburg Georgia takes the title as the new American Idol. He is the fifth male singer in a row to win from the said prestigious event. He won over 16-year old Jessica Sanchez from Chula Vista, California. Idol host Ryan Seacrest announced he won after a world record 132 million votes over text, calls and online votes for the two finalists.

Phillip was never on the bottom three while Jessica was eliminated on Top 7 performance but saved by the judges. But what makes me moved by Phillip's performances is his way of connecting to his audience which Jessica lacks most of the time as per advised by the judges.

I think the song 'We've Got Tonight' by Bob Seger during the top 3 performance added to Phillip's voting population, as Jimmy said he needs it to connect to his female fans.

Anyway, both of the finalists will have a great career ahead of them. They both are amazing and talented. Congratulations to them.
