American Idol Finale: Phillip Phillips Wins, Is the New American Idol!

The Top 12 guys perform a Bee Gees medley in honor of Robin Gibbs, who performed on the Idol stage two years ago.

Jessica Sanchez and Jennifer Holiday sing “I Am Telling You.” I wish Jennifer Hudson was there too. This is the most spirited performance you will ever see in your entire life. Jennifer Holiday’s facials are CRAZY INTENSE. If you missed it, go YouTube it.

Finally, Steven Tyler gets on stage with his fellow Aerosmith members. He sings a few of the classics and rocks out as expected. After waiting all season long, I’m satisfied but not overjoyed. But how can you be over-anything after Jennifer and Jessica’s performance?

Jessica Sanchez is back on stage with her contender Phillip Phillips. They sing a duet: Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes’ “Up Where We Belong.” It’s sweet and very calm.

Finally, it’s time. After a two-hour wait and millions of votes, it’s been confirmed: Phillip Phillips is the new American Idol!

Until next time!
