Another talented and cute white guy with guitar won American Idol, none other than Leesburg, Georgia's Phillip Phillips. The 11th American Idol winner was announced yesterday, May 24 after thousands of crowd at the Nokia Theatre and millions watching all over the world.
Phillip Phillips beat Filipina-Mexican-American Jessica Sanchez after 132 million votes was cast. After he was announced as the winner of American Idol 2012, Phillip sang his coronation song, Home but did not dare finish the song as he simply broke in tears. A dramatic moment indeed when he went down on stage just before the song ended and confetti still falling down to hug his family.
