A WGWG who won't flop? It's looking like a possibility.

He will flop... It was just the excitement of the girls downloading his music...


Congrats tho

Yep, that's why it's the best debut for an Idol coronation song ever. Nothing new.

I hope he can keep this up for his album.

I'm sure he'll flop. Just wait.

He'd been through a lot down the Idol road so he deserves it and the song has been well received from the critics

Don't be bitter, cause Jessica wouldn't be any more successful, and that's a fact.

Even Lauren Alaina did better.

Let's just wait

a pretty big achievement but it may not mean anything in the scheme of things; he could easily lose buzz after his first album (maybe even sooner than that) and end up being dropped which has happened to many an idol alum

but regardless congrats to him on this achievement and i hope he does well

They don't promote their winners at all... Kelly and Carrie became stars on their own merit, tbh.

Well deserved! Where are the doubters now?

I wouldn't count out Jessica, tbh.

Congrats Phillip. But its a shame he isn't going to write anymore songs like this.

Then tell them to quit counting out Phillip, when he actually managed to achieve something that his predecessors hadn't.

This "he will flop" BS is getting stale. Just because he isn't a pop girl doesn't mean he is doomed to failure a la Kris Allen and Lee DeWyze.

Give him time to make a name for himself before counting him out.

And the female winners in the past (not counting Kelly and Carrie, of course) haven't been guaranteed successes either. Fantasia and Jordin have flopped to hell.

Let's see what he comes up for his first single for his album since he's not going to write songs like 'Home.' Same goes for Jessica.

Only Phillip

When will the runner-up do it?

He's still going flop

@ the only responses from certain sectors being "he'll still flop." Maybe he will, but he has achieved debut sales that no Idol since 2003 has, so you can't discount him completely.

When her first real single will smash
