I didn't remember that performance, but I actually liked that a lot.
My brother doesn't watch the show regularly and he thought Phillip was great (and just asked me the name of the song), so other casual viewers might be swayed as well.
I just wish Jessica could get an amazing song like "I Believe" to slay with. The coronation songs have all ben flops ever since that magnificent piece of Idol history.
The repeat songs are death traps. You're either smart or you're stupid. You do one that was good before the top 13 or you're just wrong. Not many Idol watchers would've remembered Jessica's The Prayer, and it has a moment. Phillip did a top 13 song that wasn't even particularly memorable.
J.Lo hatin ass... YOU KNOW THAT ROUND WENT TO JESS!
So what if you've seen it before? We see Phil screech and scratch his voice week after ****ing week!
