Phillip Phillips Reacts to American Idol Victory
by Hilton Hater at .He is the champion, our friends.
It took months of performing and over 132 million votes, but Phillip Phillips was finally crowned the American Idol winner last night. And while the outcome may have been clear to many fans for a long time now, try telling that to the 11th title-holder in show history.
"I don't really feel anything," Phillip told reporters after the show. "Its crazy I'm still a little numb from the whole situation, it's just so unreal. Did I think I was gonna win? Heck no. It's so unreal. It hasn't sunk in yet.
"It's such a blessing to have, I'm kinda ready to try and comprehend it all. After I won, I wasn't thinking about anything. I wasn't thinking about the song, I wasn't wanting to sing or anything. I just started thinking about the journey and how far all of us have come and how far we made it, it's so overwhelming. Jessica has a huge future ahead of her and we're both supportive of each other. I love playing music and I'm just a lucky guy."

phillip has a special talent that todays singers lack. He loves to play, and you can see it, hes contagious.I could listen to anything he sings over and over again.he makes amazing music, he may not have been the best singer on the show, but he was the best artist. Jessica could sing, but there are thousands of girls like her. She needs real life experience. Phillip touches my soul.
Jessica had a big head, I love Phillip!
