America has decided. Phillip Phillips is the newest American
Idol, besting 16-year-old Filipino-Mexican-American Jessica Sanchez.
Phillips is the fifth in a string of white guys with guitar (WGWG)
who won the popular reality talent search - David Cook (Season 7), Kris Allen (Season
8), Lee DeWyze (Season 9), and Scotty McCreery (Season 10).
Phillips finale song, for me, is the best coronation single
in Idol history. The song entitled “Home” was written by songwriter Drew
Pearson, who’s worked with past Idol alumni including Adam Lambert, Casey
Abrams and Lee DeWyze. It was originally meant for British artist Greg Holden,
but was submitted to Idol as a possible finale number by Pearson’s publishing
company, Pulse Recordings.
I can’t help but notice the similarity between Phillip
Phillips’ “Home” and Coldplay’s “’Til Kingdom Come,” a song I happen to like a
lot. They have parallel guitar riffs and similar melodies. I’m posting videos
of the two songs. Try to listen and let me know what you think, let's talk on Twitter.
