J.Lo Felt Phillip Phillips Would Win 'Idol' | Interview | On Air With Ryan Seacrest

[@sabanitas12]

She was AMAZING in Las Vegas, Q'Viva is one of the best concerts I have seen. I love Jennifer, she is such a good artist and a sweet person as well.

[@ParisLoOfficialTV]

people that can sing will always be remembered as great singers no matter what happens to them, but people that can't sing and have gone to obscrurity will just fade out!!!!!!!

[@hellomarii]

I never said he wasn't. But the majority of why he won was his looks, and that's coming from a huge Phillip Phillips fan.

[@hellomarii]

You can't be that naive and say looks don't matter. His looks DEFINITELY helped him out. Not saying he didn't deserve it, but it's true.

[@IheartPRETTIboys]

Stage presence is not about moving around. It's about charisma and having 'presence', like you know how some people just have that ability to catch everyone's eye? They walk in a room and people take notice. It's not looks, it's having a special quality, a charismatic kind of quality. Like Bill Clinton was charismatic and Obama is too, it's just the X factor. Not alot of people have it.

[@imjustkaytee]

she's so pretty, i want her hair

[@hellomarii]

I LOVE Phillip, and I wanted him to win. I was just pointing it out how it was, because vocally Jessica has more "talent". but to me Phillip is the true artist, not to mention there's not many out there like him. Don't assume things!

[@Tdiarocks123]

Season 7: Handsome guy that sings, with a guitar, wins Season 8: Handsome guy that sings, with a guitar, wins Season 9: Handsome guy that sings, with a guitar, wins Season 10: Handsome guy that sings, with a guitar, wins Season 11: Handsome guy that sings, with a guitar, wins WTF. Hello X Factor

[@cl4331]

That's not their problem if they were born handsome and they won! 😉

[@cmcmillinfarmers]

I'm done voting for AI. I now realized no one can beat teenage voters. The pattern is obvious: WGWG as they say. Jessica was set-up for failure. They gave her an ugly song that I don't think anyone will sound good singing it. They gave Phillip a song that perfectly suits his voice, gave him nice song production, and the judges gave him standing ovation - on a very simple song. They also didn't let Jessica sing her most successful song which is either "I'll always love you" or "I have nothing."

[@ParisLoOfficialTV]

there were tonz of people that connected with Jessica and Pia, just because you didn't connect with them doesn't mean they are less talented, after all it's music we are talking about here, not connections... that can only take you so far, but talent will always be there no matter what! yes phillip was popular, but Jessica and Pia will always be better when it comes to vocals that's a fact!!!!!!

[@carswift1913]

JLo has a crush on Phillip. have you noticed, she's not as enthusiastic commenting on Jess' performances as she does on Phillip's. well, that's just objective opinion of mine.

[@Scout555]

Yes, check your facts. Even Phillip stated the song he had was not something he would record as his own. Jessica also stated she had to alter what was given to her so it was even weaker than what was there. But with only a day to prepare, it is much easier to alter a good song than one that was weak. Phillip had songs that were better offered to him, and he still didn't think it was his style. Last I checked they gushed over Phillip too.

[@kelletman]

There was times JL looked at Jessica with green eyes because of her vocal ability.

[@625u10]

J.Lo Was going for Phillips Steven was going for Jessica Randy Was going for Joshua Ryan was going for Jessica America was going for Phillip The world was going for Jessica

[@1honkforpeace1]

both phillip and jessica are artists. phillip is a singer songwriter and he connects with the audience. jessica is an amazing singer with so much soul and passion. they're both amazing but people always feel like the best singer has to win but i think it's not just the voice that wins. both i feel like have the full package.

[@RSwizard101vids]

This is J.Lo 's last year on idol i am glad she went out with a bang at the Finale

[@amClyn5]

People say there are many people who can sing like her.. well, there are also many people (much more) who can sing like Phillip.. so it's a tie then. but I'm all for Jessica!

[@2000justbeingme]

That is not true. Right after the save, all the judges did was to find fault with Jessica. Jennifer helped crown Phillip Phillips because of her biased comments. She gave PP an overrated standing ovation and threw Jessica off the bus. BOOOO Jlo.

[@iwlkikyras]

Omg people. Who ever PP fans is, if this IDOL season happens just like when Adam Lambert didn't win but who ever that guys name is which is now forgotten. Adam Lambert sold his album better than the winner & once Jessica sold hers more than PP. I bet you guys who's PP fans would wonder forever. So shut the hell up and let the future holds for them. Because I will bet 100% that this Jessica Sanchez is going to sell more records than PP who's the winner.

[@msgrafis]

hey dude, i still love durbin. hope he will come to concert here in indonesia... hard to forget him cause he gave something different to the show.. for the first time i think when he performed "heavy metal"

[@SaraGoldStar1]

The reason people would scream for Phillip is because they think he's hot

[@marumarumorimori165]

nothing against jessica, i like her voice. but most musical legends dont have the big perfect vocals. they have depth. they have passion . and phillip will be among them =)

[@achritushunter5537]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! I AM SO HAPPY THERE ARE SMART PPL STILL IN THE WORLD.

[@TheEliseoramos20]

you're right, co'z american idol blocking all jessica's songs in itunes. and by the way they gave phillip the songs a week before the finale while jessica got the song selections a day before. is it sabotage ? you may not agree but try to watch taylor hicks interview on idol hangover. don't get me wrong, i like phillip too and i don't blame him co'z he was a victim too.

[@lynnmlp]

Apparently not according to AMERICA and the votes not to mention all the records he's breaking NON-STOP! Phillip had more to him that just a voice! He has a depth of spirit that came through and connected with viewers, a deep down in his soul connection with music! Only people throwing rocks at Jessica are her angry fans! Please read her interviews! I'll sum up a few I read.. The kind of fan you are!! She politely asked to NOT support her.

[@alysiragusa]

i agree with jennifer. I was a huge fan of Jessica all season, but i had a feeling Phillip was going to win.

[@Scout555]

Luckily Jessica has a ton of depth, variety and her passion is already evident for those who have followed her journey.

[@LauRaFeldmaR]

Jessica did so fab with Jenifer Holiday I was blown away! I LOVE Jennifer Holiday!!

[@rocker3250]

LMAO this is so ridiculous. EVERYONE on that American Idol stage an artist, not only Phillip.

[@Naturalwoman56]

I can't find any sincerity in her at all...Remember when she was making comments after every contestants....she was glancing most of the time at "pre written" notes......she was biased against Jessica....she was giving SO to Joshua and Philip and seemed like forced to SO for Jessica.....

[@lovesickheroine]

I'll never forget what happened during the top 3 when JLO sabotaged Jessica by giving her the song My All. She clearly wanted Jessica out of the competition cause her favorites were Joshua and Phillip.

[@TurtlesSayRAWR]

Best of luck to her. Hopefully she will go far. (:

[@TurtlesSayRAWR]

Phillip writes his own songs, re-does songs and makes them his own, has an enormous stage presents, connects with the crowd AND has a unique voice. Beyonce and and Mariah and the rest are artists, because they are original and make their own music and have their own voice. An artist is capable of bringing something to the table that is rare. Playing an instrument doesn't make you an artist :P

[@Cotsco1]

It is true that Jessica was the better singer, she had the range and just natural talent but Josha and Philipps were still great too. I think Phil won because of the fact that the majority of watch/vote are girls but nevertheless he was very artistic in his performances. They all sounded good. Jessica makes us Filipinos very proud but honestly Philipps is more close to my taste in music (i would still pick Jessica over). I think people shouldn't be hating because PP deserved the win anyway.

[@tsitae101]

Of course, she felt that because she wanted Phillip to win all this time. I's obvious how she try and sabotage Jessica ugh

[@lovesickheroine]

Nah she's obviously faking it. I remember when she critiqued Phillips on the finale after he performed "Movin' out" she said: "I've have seen Jessica performed The Prayer before... and i felt like [movin' out] was authentic Phillip right there" I totally flipped out when she said that! Phillip performed that just weeks before whereas Jessica picked a song from Vegas Week!!!

[@TurtlesSayRAWR]

Yes he is attractive but if looks was such a huge part of it, wouldn't Colton have made if further? He was just as attractive as Phillip.

[@lynnmlp]

First off I'm a 100% Phillip fan! It's only some Jessica fans and they don't even hate him. They hate that he won! Doesn't matter to them what Jessica thinks or feels AT ALL. It was ONLY about the WIN! If they were TRUE fans they would read all her interviews like I have, and support her.. I don't have a bad thing to say about Jessica being a major Phillip fan! That's where the two fan-bases differ! Jessica does NOT like negative fans!! She has way to much class for a lot of them!!

[@ParisLoOfficialTV]

Phillip won because teenage girls thought he was cute Duh! the fact that Jessica is only 16 years old & her talent is so beyond her years made people feel threatened, there was nothing special about Phillips performances even though he sang different songs week after week it got boring & it was all the same. Jessica kept it fresh doing up beat tempo songs, to slow ballads & killed it every time! the judges saved Jessica because she's Amazing they would not have saved Phillip if he got voted off!

[@lynnmlp]

Sad too. Because Jessica is a vocal phenomenon and a Sweet girl! If her fans would READ her own interviews they'd know she said She hasn't defined herself as an artist yet, and thought Phillip deserved to win! She's too nice to have rabid fans.. Shes clearly stated as nicely as she can she has NO-TIME for angry fans or people who insult her good friend Phillip Phillips!

[@ParisLoOfficialTV]

as a singer myself i'm passionate about people with real talent, but i realize talent doesn't always win, American Idol is about popularity now.... not talent and to me that's sad! that's like comparing brittany spears to Christina Aguilera, everyone knows that Christina can sing!

[@balatmais01]

I like it how she say's she has a HIGH CLASS PROBLEM. . . wish my problem was high class too. . LoL :))

[@LauRaFeldmaR]

Jessica did her best when not being judged anymore the girl was obviously a bundle of nerves the whole time cause she is way, way better when not being judged! Pitiful, for Jess to lose to this guy who is not going to influence anyone to do anything.. an idol is someone you want to emulate.. who is going to want to be like him...? Another mistake in a run of them IDOL cant get it right..Joshua or the tall thin guy were way better. Keyser was THE BEST OF THEM ALL put 2gether! I CALL FOUL! FIXED!

[@lynnmlp]

No but he will! Did American Idol so sick. Doubt any would have kept going! Jessica has a phenomenal voice and is beautiful but that's it for now! If her CRAZY fans were real fans and got over Phillip winning and read interviews about her like I DO even as a Phillip fan! They'd know she said "Phillip knows who he is as an artist already I'm not there yet he deserved to win" she also said. "I don't want angry fans who put down my good friend Phillip" She's far more mature than a lot of her fans.

[@aqilahq]

Jlo : I've got these little two coconuts

[@FlameFullmetalFan548]

C'mon.. that's just petty. Even though I voted for Phillip since the beginning and am a big fan of his, I never once put down any of the other idols - especially Jessica. And I wouldn't. She has an amazing voice, but so does Phillip, in a different way. They are in totally different genres. In the end, they both are/will be great :)

[@tsitae101]

If they were pimping Jessica, they would have shown her audition from the start but nooo she was not seen til Vegas. If she was pimped, she would've gotten a freaking marching band and would've gotten a standing ovation for each of her performance because she's always consistent. Joshua is also great and totally on another league compared to phillip.

[@rocker3250]

Yes, anyone who makes music is an artist in their own way.

[@carjac1078]

If you wanted Jessica to win AI then you should have voted for her!!!

[@lynnmlp]

Your not the ONLY one in the Industry here. And you comment about hating to have to educate? It seems to be something you LOVE to try and do not HATE!! Good Luck!

[@court3courtney]

this was prob the last season of AI that i will watch. not bc jessica didnt win (even tho she should have lol) but the show has had its course. and if u think about it, out of all the seasons theres only like 5 or 6 contestants who have made it to the top and have stayed there.

[@joejill51lala]

I love Jessica :)

[@IheartPRETTIboys]

The sabotage nonsense has got to stop. It's was friggen obvious to anyone with eyes and ears that they were all pimping Jessica and Josh from start. I mean come on. -_-

[@MELANIE1969ful]

what your knee feel down to her that a lie jlo...knee down to jessica ?????jessica voice is incredible why pp didnt sing to the pbs...his got the tittle right????

[@miRiaMzUaYaLa]

She looks so beautiful!

[@MrsMassey61211]

Phillip Phillips is less than simple...Joshua Ledet was the best but even then Jessica was better than Phillip!

[@19DJD]

"dirty farmer" LMFAO i kinda agree lol

[@dose143]

she never ages

[@IheartPRETTIboys]

I wasn't comparing them to him. I just used them as examples cos they have charisma. That's why Britney was so much more famous than Christina. Britney had charisma, Christina didn't.

[@TINBITZPHAM]

I actually think she looks younger and more beautiful now than in the 90s.

[@BestFindr]

You know when you put it like that I guess Phillip did deserved to be the idol. But the problem here is that perhaps not everyone shared the same sentiments as yours when they voted for him. You have to question the reason why most of his voters voted for him. Were they thinking the same thing as you did or were they just all for his good looks?

[@sleekcsg]

how can u say "Philip delivered most of his songs better" when he always miss the notes so many times? and is changing notes to fit ur limited vocal range called talent? you can understand why people are mad. Well everybody knows it's not about REAL talent anymore for that show. Expect another WGWG for next yr! hahah

[@kouznetsov]

she's still got it!

[@18tontsy]

i dont believe phillip will win in the first place.. everybody knows jessica will win in AI. even in the whole world knows jessica must win. who is the best singer in terms of connection of their songs and connection of the feelings of people? phillip?nah!! jessica deserve to win in AI! even childrens are crying jessica not win!! phillip win BECAUSE of the DRUMS and BACK UP SINGERS are great not his voice by his last song...

[@xoxoJLoverxoxo]

She's so beautiful...so cute!

[@meganmalik153]

@thomashaddock1 Phillip is the most DEDICATED idol contestant. The guy put his very own serious health on the line to entertain America. He postponed his much needed surgery to please his fans. Whenever he makes those faces when he sings its because he's in pain cuz of his kidney stones. He deserved that win more than anyone...

[@LauRaFeldmaR]

She really looked superb and souded perfect too! JLo! I mean:)

[@Cosme422]

good upload!

[@SrtaaEstela]

LOL, I thought the same =] People get delusional when angry.

[@lovesickheroine]

That was waaaay back during top 7. Also, according to one of her interviews she clearly stated her favorite was Joshua, and every time she critiques Phillips she acts like a hormonal teeny bopper.

[@lynnmlp]

Exactly, none of us who support Phillip wish anything bad for the rest of the contestants!! And she'll leave the crazy hate filled fans behind too! I hope she can ignore the hate they level at her friend Phillip as easy as he can! :-)

[@rmmalimet]

That performance was pre-taped!!!

[@knuclear200x]

To be fair, Missylin, you should also consider the countless ugly, put-down remarks on Jessica from other contestants' passionate fans. Unfortunately, it always comes with the AI competitive experience.

[@lynnmlp]

Wow, no idea what went on here and don't even want to know.. But just to clear this part up. Phillip had been offered a recording contract by Jimmy Iovine and two other labels before (Home-coming week)! As his Dad stated on camera at that time. "He hadn't signed with anyone yet".. Obviously both Phillip and Jessica are doing very well post Idol!

[@ormagseasluke]

haha :\ :)) girl votes + pity votes = P2 wins! predictable... Joshua and Jessica deserves the crown..

[@meganmalik153]

Phillip did have an advantage with women but I feel like he connected better with the audience and viewers. Jessica a had the best voice and some serious swag. But Phil had had that creative songwriter vibe. I could really FEEL his music. They're both winners

[@Sloozebury]

It's neither. Dude named Drew Pearson wrote the song, Greg Holden sang it and then Drew Pearson sold the rights to Jimmy Iovine's publishing company who gave it to Idol. You're both wrong.

[@ParisLoOfficialTV]

anyone with true talent will understand why Jessica Sanchez is better then Phillip. people through rocks at things that shine...... and jessica shined sooo much brighter.

[@rsobrevinas]

Philip Phillips, the no talent winner who could barely sing, will have a short career and will be singing in casino lounges in two years. Jessica was the obviously superior talent.

[@IheartPRETTIboys]

Yeah what does that got to do with anything? They DID get a choice to choose btwn two songs, hence Jessica saying 'she picked the song bc it showcased her vocals more'. Why would she say 'picked' or there wasn't more than more choice? Nah they never gushed about Phillip the way they fawned over Joseph and Jessica. Joseph was pimped really hard it was hilarious.

[@lynnmlp]

Oh no! Haven't been here for a month. Have never Insulted JS! Only have a problem with some rabid fans that HATE Phillip! I disagree that Phillip will be a One hit! He's already proving it! I see you were fighting with ONE person looks like shes GONE I'm not taking her place so you have someone new to beat up! Which is OBVIOUSLY what you like from your rants! Saw a page of fighting, didn't insult you or JS. Just made a comment! You wanna fight? Find someone else as immature! I won't reply!

[@NerdyTaco]

Jessica can sing huge songs that are known by many. But just like on Tuesday she sang a song that wasnt really known and she went flat. Yes, Jessica is an amazing singer with a great voice but that's all she is a singer. Phillip won because he is an artist and can take any unknown song and make you want to get up and dance. Just my opinion.

[@TurtlesSayRAWR]

Phillip isn't a carbon copy of Dave Matthews. Just because they perform the same way doesn't mean they're the same person. Just like Jessica and Whitney Houston aren't the same person but the perform and sound almost identical. And "the whiter you are the better"? The top three were a Filipino girl, a Southern Caucasian boy, and an African American boy. Joshua and Jessica both perform the same way, that's why they both got kicked off. They didn't connect with the audience like Phillip did.

[@lynnmlp]

It does seem like more than less! I have friends who are her "Normal Fans" I know, he gets hate leveled at him personally. Death threats too, I've never witnessed criminally insane AI fans before? She wouldn't give these NUTS the time of day! You've gotta LOVE how much he's doing, but it's fueling their hatred again! It's the BIG SLAP they need though! I still wish Jessica a life of success!

[@superprettyko]

My friend don't watch AI because she hates this lady... After watching the whole show this season, I know why she feels that way.

[@josephclark637]

J-lo!!! J-lo!!! J-lo!!! Ryan u such a LUCKY guy to know her!! BLAZE green MEDICINE YA'LL!!♧÷♧

[@IheartPRETTIboys]

Lol yeah and THAT'S exactly why Katy Perry and Rihanna are famous, cos they have oh so fabulous voices *rolls eyes* And that was sarcasm if anyone didn't get it lol. Performers need stage presence and a special quality to make it big time. That's why Britney was so famous. It wasn't cos her voice was that great.

[@IheartPRETTIboys]

Uh, they get to choose what goes on in the their performances. If they wanted a fricken sax, they got a fricken sax, if they wanted a band, all they needed to do was ask. Get your facts straight before posting -_-. Who was the one that was saved despite getting voted off? Or was the one that got all fawned over and having gushy comments go their way, who was the one that randy directed 'this is crazy, America, vote for the best' --- exactly. You're just being biased.

[@nutmeg8756]

Quit cutting on Phillip, he deserved to win not Jessica. And anyways Jessica will probably come out with an album as well as him... so chill. And JLo is right, everybody knew he was going to win because Phillip is beast.

[@hellomarii]

She wasn't being a "bandwagon bitch" she was saying who she thought would win, everyone knew Phillip would win because he's a good looking guy, and the majority of AI voters are hormonal teenage girls. She didn't say he was better or that she liked him better.

[@ando1135]

three words, you ready? get. over. it.

[@lynnmlp]

Nah! Judges made you think a J did! P2 hid how critically ill he REALLY was til after! Hid 100% his family founded Org MissionChange to feed the homeless P2 worked for since a kid. Met his gf 3yrs ago volunteering at a shelter! All of this made me even prouder that I voted for him based solely on talent! Great guy, big heart, superb values from a family who's been making a difference long before A-Idol was a ever a thought! More should be like him! Definition of American Idol? Definitely=P2 :-)

[@hellomarii]

You can be Asian and American. There are races from all over the world living here in America.

[@vickycanal]

I'm sad jessica didn't win :(

[@TurtlesSayRAWR]

Uhm, forgot the fact that hes a better artist and performer than Jessica... That's why he won too... not just looks and teenage girls.

[@angellucass]

True entertainers have lasted for decades in the stage... Elton John, Phil Collins, Madonna, Cher and so on... Phil Phillips is a truly entertainer, he sings, he "dances" and he connects with the audience in a more profound way that JS did... Remember Kelly Clarckson, Carrie Underwood, and the ones who didn't win Daughtry, Clay Ayken and so on... they are entertainers too... Phil is a guy who's gonna be around for a long time... be prepared.

[@Trenton.D]

Where is he now? Lmao

[@IheartPRETTIboys]

YaI know Christina is successful, but back in the late 90's-early 2000's when both were more active,Britney ws MILES ahead of her in terms of fame & popularity. 2. Katy Perry is really bad at live,so I wouldn't be saying she's better than any decent singer... Rihanna isn't that great either, but both of them are entertaining 4. I agree they have stage presence, phillip has it too, not a huge amount but definitely more than Jessica (which imo has none of that) 5. Don't call him names, that's low.

[@hellomarii]

Everyone just assumed Colton would be safe so they forgot to vote for him, either that or this whole thing is fixed. Who knows.

[@FilAsians]

Adele can sit in a chair & perform a song, & she made it big. What exactly is your definition of "stage presence?"

[@HJNx94]

e_e ...... yeh ah..... let me just say that jessica does have pure talent... so don't use that "pretty faces" excuse on her....
