Despite his coronation song "Home" making it to No.1 on I-Tunes the day after his win, Phillips said that the song was not really something he would write, describing it as "not the best song for me."
"It's a little too pop for me... but it's a very good song and I'm glad people like it. I feel like I'm a little more rock than that, so hopefully people like what I have to put out, some jazz rock stuff," said Phillips, who counts Eric Clapton and Eminem as some of his influences.
Oh why oh why did you go against your true self and listened to others? Jessica could have won. LOL! I guess he really wanted to win. So, he played the game! Good call!
Yes Didi! This gal had a lot of potential! Hate the judges for putting her under the bus! She should have used her Guitar more that season. :(
The contestants signed the contract all of them. For the teens, their parents signed it. So, I would think the contract is better than that. But I read somewhere that Tommy Mottola is in already in producing Jessica's album? hmmm just might be rumors then....
What happened to Kristin Chenoweth duet with Jessica? huhuhu
@Holtzter Again, lets not generalize. Individuals will be individuals...some will say and some will not....Like some americans have been saying that idol is rigged for the past 11 years and some saying its not. :)
@pinksupersponge And oh yeah, and if a filipino or half-filipino who wants to get the massive support of the filipino fanbase on any singing show again would probably need to top Jessica talent wise...and that will be a $%$# TALL ORDER!!! :(
@pinksupersponge No, I was talking about the 100% increase in traffic in Rickey's site because of the Filipino fanbase of Jessica. Since AI is over and Jessica hype is over, his site gets to be less chaotic. As for talent, it is the individual that is talented. And for a 16 year old to actually hone her techniques to this level just by listening to other artists is so sick amazing! :)
Anyone has video of Jessica P2 duet? Loved that!
Congrats to Philip! And Rickey this is it. Traffic will go down by half now. Won't be as choatic. Unless X-factor garners some good ratings and gets a Filipino or Half-filipino as captivating as Jessica Sanchez! :)
There's just too many good shows now. Back then AI was something new, a pioneer. Now, its an old show. They can re-engineer it, but still an old show. 11 Seasons, 11 years. They should be doing Global Idol right now, with the current media technology "ITS DOABLE!" :)
So for the Standing O for Philip > Is it for Jessica to get sympathy votes or was it to pimp Philip? What's your IDOL conspiracy theory? :)
No song spoilers tonight?
@BoyfitVillanueva She goes first I think. I read in one of the blogs that Phil won coin toss and chose 2nd slot.
Here comes Jessica's Army (fans, fanatics, fantards)! :) VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!
i'd like to disagree on "My All"...never liked the song and don't like it on Jessica....its not her at all... I felt connected with "I don't wanna miss a thing" the most > This was Jessica!
@QKW24 Music is personal dude. I like Jessica over every other contestant. I connect with her more than any others. Am I a racist? Grow up!
When Jessica was saved someone predicted she'll be eliminated after 2 weeks because that's the trend for those saved.....But I said Casey Abrams lasted for 5 weeks, maybe Jessica could last for 5 weeks too :) .... So after 5 weeks from Top 7 Redux...We are now at Top 2! YEAH. VOTING GAME now. BATTLE ROYALE of VOTING FANS!
Aren't they gonna do a Donna Summer tribute?
Aahh shucks Jess voice was already rough and hoarse during San Diego visiit...it didn't heal fast enough...But she's still my idol! Vote vote vote
