This is the most talented artist i have ever seen being unraveled before my own eyes. Im so greatful to b witnessing his rise to fame. This guy is gonna b a huge star!
This guy is a true artist..you can just see the music pouring outta his heart and soul. By far the best American Idol contestant I've seen..probably ever.
OMG, my jaw hit the floor as I watched Idol. HUGE Dave fan and I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing...watching. Even mannerisms. LOVELOVELOVE!. SO much like Dave, I can't stop watching! AMAZING!!! My absolute pick for winning Idol, but if not, no worries, a career is headed your way!
His voice at the beginning is so beautiful. I wish he would sing like that more in the future. People started complaining that he growled/shouted too much instead of singing. Go Phillip! Show them your true talent!
"all i do is win win win.." gives me chills. THIS IS AMAZING PHILLIP IS A TRUE MUSICIAN with a huuuuuge career ahead of him these covers are unbelievable i cant stop listening and LOVE his energy he's havin fun the crowds havin fun IM SO THANKFUL AI FOUND HIM FOR US!!
He has come so far on American Idol. His stage presence, his confidence, his clothes. Just everything. He is truely amazing but that is something that he was even without American Idol. He WILL be great. (:
This is the sexiest thing i have ever seen a male artist do. The combination of his voice, the way he moves and the intensity in his face is electrifying.
His energy is the most contagious thing I have ever felt. If you listen to music to feel something, that's the best feeling in the world. Thanks for posting this!
I love "all I do is win" and now I love it even more! Fantastic version, way to rock it Phillip! If you get to do this on Idol, it would blow people away! I'm rooting for you all the way to the top!
that was awesome, this kid is special, he's the best thing ever happened to AI, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH THE WORLD, PHILLIP PHILLIPS - OUR 2012 AMERICAN IDOL!!!
Phillip is the bomb!!!!!!!!! I know first hand because I'm on the keys!! I'm riding with my lil bro Phillip all day!!! He is Mr. American Idol already!!!!
Phillip is by Far the must underated Talent in the world> He is the MAN. I hope he gets on tour soon. I cant wait til he comes 300 miles from Cinci cuz me and the crew are there.
What can I say...you're AWESOME! I know you'll have agents and recording companies calling and knocking your door down to get you to sign with them!! You are 1 in a billion!
i love parents or family who support their member for anything he/she capable of. not push 'em for some higher degree of any other objects when they dont want it
Peeps you're going have to pay a little more to hear this guy in concert next time. :-) Hope you enjoyed your front roll seat. GREAT to see you enjoying his music.
I am really interested in seeing and hearing more of you! I don't think I can wait for you to make an album so I'm going to come to Georgia. Hopefully, I will find you....TRUELY AWESOME!
They got to be at the pre-famous Phillip Phillips concert!! This guy is going places!! Hoe he does one of these on the show. Phillip Phillips, keeping it real on tv!
I LOVE PHIL PHILLIPS!! he is so talented and if i have anything to do with it he will be the next american idol cause i will vote every week until my fingers get tired!! lol! ii really hope he wins cause the past dew A.I. winners really werent good! i love his style of singing, his voice, and his layed back persona. and the songs he chooses to sing & i could see him singin on track of artists from kanye west to 50 to mary j! iEVERYBODI VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!
I agree. He should just be given the freedom on Idol to have like a 5+ minute jam session on stage of just a medley of any song he wants to mess with! I would love it! I get so immersed into this video it's ridiculous. haha. I'd be in front of my TV acting like that guy walking around all into it. lol.
Discovered Phillip Phillips on AI last night. AMAZING! Yep, reminds me of a young Dave Matthews. The energy this guy radiates is unmatched. I've never been an AI follower, but I'll be tuning in regularly this season.
Mix a little of DMB with M&M and this is what you get. If (when) he breaks out M&M on Idol Randy will explode "WHAT"... This kid was rocking the same place in Dec 2011 must have been after Idol audition was filmed. Playing to a crowd of 20 locals to filling auditoriums.... priceless. Thumbs up!
This kid is fucking awesome. He's a musicians musician if you know what I mean. This is what idol has been missing. I hope those music industry pukes don't ruin him.
Wow! Now I can see why Eminem and Lose Yourself means so much to Phillip. I listened to all the words to it for the first time. Now I see how he pushed through Idol while being so sick. Thank you Eminem!
@dmbsong41 If you were a true music and dave matthews lover don't you think you would be happy to see more music out there like dave. Dave won't be around to play for us live forever and now it looks like we have someone as talented a dave to play too! Don't be negative! You should be happy! Dave is my favorite music singer songwriter. I have been to over 100 dave concerts and seeing him live since 1994 and I think this kid is amazing!
Wow, this guy is definitely going to be one of my favs for the season of AI. I'm so happy they have someone unique (Like Casey) this season. You have my vote Phillip (which means I have no doubt in my mind he'll be in the top 24)! AMAZING PASSION AND ORIGINALITY!
huge fan.......but more anything this video shows that minus any preconcieved or politically altered notions blacks and whites can and do get along and that music continues to be the universal language. God Bless to all.
@furrcola FINALLY! Someone else sees it, too. I've been saying that since I first saw him. I can't believe none of the judges have made the comparison.
LMFAO!!!! Notice when Phillip Goes off... He sets the keyboardist alive too! The guy gets a smile on his face and is charged!! Phillip is Electricity!! AND I THINK.... Phillip should write a song about that!!
