Phillip Phillips

'American Idol' winner Phillip Phillips' 'Home' was the soundtrack for a lot of our summer -- from its prevalence in the Olympics to its simple down home charm, it was a cozy, breezy listen and radio staple. And based on the preview snippets of Phillips' debut, 'The World From the Side of the Moon,' he's really got a knack for that.

Phillip Phillips, who expresses himself with his hands when he talks, spoke about a lot of hypotheticals during two separate interviews.

Phillip Phillips‘ debut single ‘Home’ was one of the most successful ‘American Idol‘ coronation songs ever. Now, the 21-year-old ‘Idol’ champ has unveiled a new original rock song called ‘Take Me Away,’ which he debuted this week during an intimate live performance.

I didn't watch the Phillip Phillips season of American Idol, but now I wish I would have.  I love his single, "Home," and now thanks to the song being used during the 2012 Summer Olympics Phillips has hit "gold" with the number 1 spot on iTunes.
