Phillip Phillips wins the American Idol 2012 ♥♥

[@Thisandthatone]

he just left the song and went straight for his family ..what a sweetheart

[@gardengirl7446]

Brought tears to me when he just collapsed into the love of his family!

[@kimbermullenix8356]

My favorite moment of his. So raw and pure.

[@benr7569]

@@kimbermullenix8356 is there a better moment on Idol? not that I've seen....

[@feziwetambekeni7589]

Emotional 😥

[@karashea7823]

Almost looked choreographed it was so perfect

[@garyj2841]

the most touching moment of Idol, ever. Couldn't get through the song thru his tears so he hands over the guitar and hugs his family. damnn, love this guy

[@lakeaiono8136]

Touched me as well

[@kvpunk881]

+GARY J he was in pain, he had stomach problems the whole season, he almost had to quit

[@tdlw_1318]

😰😰😰 I thought I was going to cry

[@timothyypa]

+GARY J I agree, I just watched this twice in a row, and I cried both times. I rarely am touched like this.

[@carmenbeltran6618]

he knows Jessica is a better singer than him. she deserve to win.

[@breeallison6118]

After this, American Idol started dying.

[@elianazavala4095]

Bree Allison yep

[@mikegor1343]

Bree Allison ik I mean what happened to it kelly clarkson carrie underwood colbie calait and jennifer hudson it just tanked

[@emilyandcharles7841]

Bree Allison he is so good I don't blame you

[@rosa273]

TBH! This was one of the seasons I watched every episode of oml

[@neilhamirkeshvala]

The only American Idol whose music I actually listen to moving forward after this.

[@DoseofJikook88]

I love how he walks off stage and goes right to his family. I adore phillip phillips

[@littlemario2005]

You are very fragile. :D me too :))

[@juliagrundfast1843]

I'm from the same town as Phillip and we know him and his family and I can definitely say he is one of the nicest, most down to earth person in the world. I was so happy when he won, he deserved it.

[@jess_or_jessica]

This winning performance is my favorite from all of the winners. He's just so humbled and overwhelmed. Still a fan!

[@Saberwing.]

Jess shut the fuck up

[@GRACEiisCOOL]

Same!! This is my fav winners performance. I always feel so happy for other winners but this one actually made me cry

[@mrtruth7955]

The biggest joke in Idol history

[@HockeyFan102]

Mr Truth I like how you talk shit on the internet but is too pussy to talk shit in person. Why don’t you come find me so I can confront you face to face kid

[@Kikotingin]

Only horny white girls wanted this guy to win. After this, AI started dying.

[@Dimsrose]

I come back every few years to rewatch this ending. I just thought it was so heart warming.

[@Crazycloud-vi5sv]

Me too

[@mccarysanon9493]

Same me too

[@dianlmar]

Yep!

[@paulitoguzman3531]

Me too..i dont cry you cry..actually I'm in tears everytime I watch and watch this video...what a great singer/voice he got..

[@tammystuard4835]

Yep. It’s so touching!

[@caroltz8220]

One of the best moments in TV history. There's not a time that I watch this that I don't cry, even all these years later.

[@jorgecmtz]

I think this kind of shows are garbage and winners are already chosen, but the tears and breaking voice in the middle of the song can't get more real than that.

[@benr7569]

exactly

[@ohshhhism]

AT THE END OF THE PERFORMANCE HE WENT TO HUG HIS FAMILY (HIS SYMBOL OF "HOME") IM SOBBING =')

[@kevindulude-maher7585]

You can tell just how much it meant to him. I hope this young man has an amazing career, he has the talent and he deserves it.

[@lightskin._.baddie0328]

He's come along way actually !!!

[@dannigar8]

I like him he is not afraid to show his emotions

[@setapoll2755]

So sweet how he went straight for his family

[@unicornkittypup13]

His voice only cracked because he started crying, not because he doesn't have voice training. He's amazing but he got a bit emotional.

[@danig.r4043]

gosh, of course he got emotional he won the competiton.,,, who wouldnt'??

[@Dimsrose]

Sherlock Holmes over here

[@toomuchblood7255]

unicornkittypup13 yup

[@pureniga8275]

Jesus christ how dumb are you

[@ezpg3d860]

@- kool - right every other idol didn't last that long he did lol

[@hawksfan8870]

Man, seeing him get emotional and cry during his song and getting off the stage to hug his family truly was so deep and heartwarming and made me happy and realize that music can make people happy and emotional. And it can also create good, happy memories.

[@lukyu75110]

Last good American Idol Show. It went downhill after this one. I love Phillip.

[@kaybateman2356]

Blanca Munguia nah it went down after season 12 when Randy left.

[@mrbow50001]

i did like 13 winner, mainly because i like rock in general but his voice was really good too

[@kaybateman2356]

mrbow50001 Season 13 was okay, and i did like Caleb, good rocker and strong contestant and the others were alright, it's just i didn't feel it anymore, the fun was gone.

[@oliviacraner8156]

that's for sure

[@johnreal6270]

2:58 the part where we all cried

Over 6yrs later and I still get teary eyed watching this!!

[@muffinman9171]

Even though it's not as popular as the voice anymore as far as singing shows American idol winners are really the only ones who actually get big

[@PiN0yPlay3rr]

Nope, jennifer hudson, adam lambert, tori kelly are some who didnt win but pretty big in the industry (:

I agree. American Idol has brought out alot successful product of singers.

[@kyramason2738]

Brennan Bowyer Melanie Martinez from the voice got big though

[@sarahl9816]

He was the reason why I watched that season at all, I loved his little foot tapping and real he seemed, I’m a huge fan and my husband and I bonded over him, if Phillip Phillips never won I have no idea what my husband and I would have bonded over, we have been married and are expecting twins soon if one was a boy we were gonna name him Phillip Roberts... Phillip for this guy so I think the world of Phillip Phillips I have all his albums and have been to one of his concerts- when my hubby and I first met ❤️❤️

[@whyintheworldamiallowedsuc6417]

Sarah L That is absolutely incredible and heartwarming. Phillip has helped me through so much in life through his music and knowing he has had such an effect on others is awesome to know. Congratulations on everything that's happening in your life!

[@NoahRonaldo22]

You Know That Reminds Me Of My Childhood Show Back In 2002 When My Favorite Character Was Tapping Her Foot It Hit Me Like I Have It Stuck In My Head It's Like I Can't Get Enough Of Having A Steady Beat In My Head That I Love, With that song I Feel Like It Has That Beat

[@Letty328]

Love his humble heart. He's the real deal!!

[@minnbeef]

By FAR, “Home” is the best coronation song ever. I love it to this day.

[@jordynlamariya9262]

I never cry when I watch American Idols win and perform their winning songs and stuff like that but, something about Philip Phillips his voice, his emotion, his humbleness, or the way he just stopped and went to his parents (SUPER ADORABLE BTW!!!) I don't know what it is but it made me just cry tears of joy for him every time I see this.

[@mrtruth7955]

You're an idiot

[@user-mc3gu3bd7x]

Mr Truth lol

[@Cwhirt910]

I think about 2:40 is when it finally actually hit him that he won.

[@NickyD]

when the sparks came down it hit him

[@SvenZenith]

Remember scotty mccreery, he dropped to his knees just about

[@jules3048]

Ya. Plus thinking about"home" ,the words of the song, prob did it too

[@NoahRonaldo22]

​@@NickyD So Me When The Waterfall Ignites I Go Into A Standing Ovation Just About

[@freyamusumeci157]

Never gets old. Loved him before he won, and this moment sealed the deal. He's so sweet and sincere. Raw talent, raw beauty.

[@jakeandnoahrocks]

Season 11 was by far the best. So many good singers and the variety was amazing. Anybody from the top 8 was unique and could easily be a deserving winner.

[@chocolate3261]

He is literally the only winner of any talent show I've ever seen to walk off stage in his moment to be with his family. It's adorable.

[@VforVisitor]

I had no idea he was an american idol winner, I had stopped watching years ago.. Phillip Phillips is an amazing singer! An american idol winner that actually went on to do big things...

[@peggycassidy1594]

From the sounds of it, he doesn't appreciate American Idol. He is now complaining that they won't let him run his own career. Apparently he didn't go on to do Big Enough things, because he is now complaining. Some people just are spoiled. You give them an inch, they want a mile

[@TheNerdguy57]

Peggy Cassidy Sources?

[@TheOscar401]

Peggy Cassidy tbf that idol contract that the winners get is complete b.s, its pretty much gives them complete control over the winner's career and to me thats the same as not having a career at all, if not worse

[@peggycassidy1594]

***** I'm sure they know the rules ahead of time. If they wouldn't go on the show, would they Even have a career? I don't think I heard of any other American idol contestants complaining. They are probably told the rules ahead of time. Without the show, would Anyone have even Heard of Him? I'm sure that there is a Time Limit on their Control over their careers. I know that Simon Cowell also had the show Britains Got talent. there was a singer, a 12 year old singer,. Faryl Smith. For her audition, she sang Ave Maria. She wasn't the Big Winner. Simon Cowell wanted to Sign her, she refused. It seems that she went with Another Record Company. I'm not sure if American Idol is the same. It could be a different story with the First Place singers. Maybe they are told that they have No Control over their careers. Again, he might not even Have a Career, if not for American Idol. He should have Thought of that Ahead of time.;

[@peggycassidy1594]

Simply Flawless I tried to find the source, at first couldn't find it. I know that the article Popped up on the Yahoo Home page, along with all their news. I tried to bring it up. I found an article, I believe the source was Access Hollywood. I know that you can't trust Everything that shows up on the computer. So, it may, or may not be true.

[@rebeccafreire3127]

And after all this time i keep finding myself coming back to this video. Pure emotion and pure talent.

[@rebeccafreire3127]

And here I am again

[@DrannaNicole]

It's been years since I've watched this.. I'm in tears. 💘

[@slag03Z]

Me too 😍

[@toadyoady]

Aw he was crying so hard to not cry to to much cuteness

[@bigazTV]

Everybody still shocked how he won.. man his song selection was amazing especially HOME. One of my favorite songs I cry every times I hear it.. it’s speaks to me deep in my soul just perfect.. and I’m sure it’s millions like me out there.. this song touched my heart like no other... this is why he won..I’m crying right now and im not an emotional person at all

[@ZigZagggy]

Right?!? Everyone's complaining about how Jessica should have won, but honestly, Phillips is the true winner.

[@baruckobungoo8225]

This is probably the best American Idol moment of all time... what can beat this?

[@laura5x5]

this is the best acceptance from any idol winner :) he really deserved this :) love how he begins to tear and just goes right to his family. amazing!

[@scherykopan]

LOVE the end....that boy was raised right!!!

[@hammerofgod85]

scherykopan he’s a good lad. You’re absolutely correct. He was raised right.

[@JustAFangirl1]

I still remember when I watched this live and cried my heart out!!

[@NGXX92]

Watched this live on tv I teared up back then , 5 years later I'm still tearing up !! 😪😻

[@felixjunior7848]

I love when he was crying like a good boy, ge made me cry too , but im so happy for him, god bless him

[@LeeBaldwin9]

If I was an actor that needed to cry in a scene, I would simply watch this. Never fails.

[@jakeandnoahrocks]

this is probably one of the sweetest and more honest reactions in American Idol. Very touching

[@angelmitchell3114]

When I tell you I bawled! I mean I ugly cried for an hour!! Most touching moment ever!! Love you Phillip Phillips

[@NoahRonaldo22]

I was 3 years old at the time he won this he deserves it big time

[@michey668]

Yunno, at first I didn't think he deserved it and I thought Joshua and Jessica were far more talented. But I was wrong, Phillip Phillips is talented in his own way as well. He may not have a strong powerful voice like Jessica but he's so genuine and his performances make you just want to smile :) I'm no longer a hater of Phillip Phillips, besides the others will get their time to shine anyways cause they're so talented as well.

[@littlemario2005]

Well said. I agree. It's not like if it was a strong voice contest, (which it wasn't,) Phillip would win. He wouldn't. He was born with young, special guitar talents. Not many people have such great guitar skills, (especially on American Idol.) And here's the thing. The year before Phillip won, I was rooting for singer James Durbin. He was good but sadly got eliminated in the top 4. He had a very strong voice. That year was literally the exact opposite of the year before. Brody Melby

[@MrShaiya96]

michey668 they never got their time to shine, lol you fucking dumbass. From the future

[@TheYoguiMonster]

I never get emotional, but this guy got me. Gets me every single time and I know how this ends lol

[@Ken-ov1rh]

I cry every single time watching this. #2019

[@rawdamagdy1665]

Me too

[@redpillproductions7187]

Literally me rn 😭

[@citrusjoody]

I missed the whole season of the American Idol but watching this made me cry!! I love Phillip Phillips.

[@mattdeans9873]

To be a young man and know in your innermost soul that your family, your parents and in particular your dad loves you with all their hearts and supports you with everlasting strength, now that is EVERYTHING. When you have that the sky's the limit.

[@Jourdyn7797]

I love this song, but he made it 100 TIMES BETTER!!

[@virgilcollins-laine2299]

It's his song

[@crystalperry3111]

Danie Forquer yes he did. Phillip Phillips is the best.. 💋❤💕

[@slickslack1]

Just coming back from a Phillip Phillip's concert and to see how he started and what has happened throughout his life is touching, American Idol really changed his life from working at a pawn shop to being a superstar. Its touching

[@lisabrideau8979]

Still makes me cry.

[@kellimoon5142]

At 2:40, when it really hits him....onion ninjas all the way. :)

[@mbadida66]

I remember when he auditioned, and my husband said, "He's going to win it.....you just watch!!" We watched his journey and became a big fan! I'll never forget this episode! He is truly humble and overwhelmed with emotions of winning, and I cry every time I watch this! Love Phillip ❤️

[@amysha22]

at the end when philip handover the guitar to his friends n straight away hug his family... SO SWEET😍

[@chocolate3261]

I love this moment more and more every time I watch it

[@aibeau8398]

I don’t know how many times i’ve watch this video. 2021 but i still love Phillip Phillips 💜 you’re incredible

[@ericktv97]

While he wasn't my choice as the winner, he still is one of my favorite Idols to win. Hell, this whole season was amazing!

[@michaeljhonramos4823]

Jessica is also a very humble person! Her smile is genuine when Philip Philips won. ❤️❤️❤️ love them both.

[@SVULAWYER]

this performance never fails to make me cry!

This kid is a star. My favourite episode of the Voice.

[@maschroth]

Whenever I need a good cry, I come back to this video 🥺

[@shannonthomas-smith1208]

That was truly a beautiful moment to watch! It brought tears to my eyes then & it still does. I thoroughly enjoy Phillip's music & would love to see him in concert.

[@chloeklepper6640]

he is so humble i love him

[@teenstpierre]

I remember telling my husband when he first auditioned that he was going to win it... every week I watched, wanting to hear his voice, he is so humble. I bawled my eyes out when he won (I was pregnant and emotional lol) and my husband said "you knew it. You called it" I don't know how but I just knew. So happy he won.

[@KarenCristinakaahcamargo]

The best winner on AI! He deserved it so much! He did it all for pure love! You can just feel how much love he puts into singing! And it was such a touching moment! I still remember crying with him! That moment when emotion caught up to him and he couldn't sing... The best moment on AI ever! Pure love! Pure talent! 💗💗💗

[@BluesyBoy463]

No he didn’t deserve it at all.

[@VozdeEsperanzaParaTi]

Friggin Phillip Phillips got me crying on 2019. The best ever!

[@b0nkeror452]

He did pretty well after the show considering almost every Idol you never hear from again.

[@Drunkpunch33]

Watching this whole season you just knew he was gonna win and he deserved it outta anyone very talented man times were simpler around that time

[@marizalisak5502]

Saw some crap about American Idol on Facebook but nothing can top this amazing moment from just a few years ago. Love that guy!

[@raygoza922]

I Can never get over that moment. PhillipPhillips VEVO He melts my heart!

[@user-uo5st2re6m]

Dammit It's 2017 and I still cry while watching this

[@bronze8314]

I still get a little teary eyed watching this. Talk about an out of body experience, and as soon as he came back to earth and realized what was going on he went right back to his family for an embrace.

[@emilyplayzrblx4858]

This was beautiful. I was a little 7 year old watching this and I cried. He is amazing. Wow.

[@luisfelipegomez-cornejo8267]

He went straight to hug his mom!! The best!!

[@kaybateman2356]

Phillip is a lovely man, when him winning the title hit him and couldn't finished the song, he walked off the stage to his proud family. he won, because he stayed true to himself, sticked to his gutiar and wore the clothes he felt comfortalbe in. total original.

[@oneneohindase]

Phenominal...I love how he walked to his parents for comfort.

[@rastaoneeye]

He stops singing and goes to his family.... his home. Gets me tearing up every time.

[@masi-achhakchhuak490]

American idol 11 is the best season... every contestant deserve to win... Phillip is the luckiest one

[@davidhill8565]

Masi-a Chhakchhuak But American Idol 11 was patently rigged for Phillip Phillips. He was who the producers wanted to win. Although he was announced as the winner, it was actually Jessica Sanchez who got the larger portion of the vote. She was who the people wanted to win. User Yuki Kuran will tell you.

[@michaelesteva6598]

i am a filipino, but i've watched philip philips performance. he's a natural talent. great unique voice man... one of the best true american singer in this era...

[@luangoubeaux3876]

By far the best idol I've ever seen.

[@mr.khyler2214]

The most emotional and touching hearts of winning!

[@Jay-mt6nu]

watched this so many times...still burst with happiness

[@reginav4294]

He started crying and went to his family and I just melted. XD

[@Jay-mt6nu]

he can't hold it...his tears makes me cry in happiness too

[@daniluis978]

A very adorable guy. He humbles his self and offers his victory to his family. ❤️

[@nicoleworley3556]

I love this so much. Still makes me cry.

[@masaki_yutaka]

Consider this as the show's final season and episode

[@kylerandolf5498]

Who's watchcing these precious gems at 2018

[@kenwbrenner]

What a precious ending. Besides his great singing talent, he obviously has a Godly humility and love.

[@KarenCristinakaahcamargo]

I love to re-watch this because it never gets boring to see such a talented man win American Idol and be recognized for what he does best. This was the most fair winner in all history of AI. Although I do love Kris (from season 8) and Scotty (AI 2011) I still believe this one was the best winner. He's got the purest and kindest heart I've ever saw on this competition.

[@marthacervantes2041]
