Phillips is the American and Jessica is the Idol!

Yes, given Jessica's talent, she should win the American Idol. However that won't happen because it's supposed to be American Idol, and voters would love to see a pure American winning it instead of some mixed parentage personnel. It doesn't matter how wins it because at the end of it, only talent is recognized while trophies, prize money are merely temporary consolation to glorify their personal honor.

i'm a filipino but i'm not a fan of jessica's voice..:) she has an extraordinary talent, that's true, but i think she still needs to "personalize" her stuff. she can definitely sing the phonebook, as jackson says it, but i think you need more than your voice to become an artist. jessica's style is more like the karaoke-style while phillips does his own thing. he's unique and his voice is more calming than jessica's. i think he deserves the title and there was no racism or whatever ism there is. both of them are talented but phillips is more skillful and more passionate in his craft. for me, JS sings to please, to tell the world how great she can be while PP sings because he just love doing it and he doesn't give a damn on what others think of his style, a true and passionate artist indeed..:) well, this is just my opinion..:)

Yeah, it's truth.. haha :D Jessica only lost out because she's not American even though she has mexican blood in her.. haha :D But it's ok sicne most winners often fade away the moment Idol season ends. WHile runner ups, to some others in top 10, they tend to do much better than winners. If i'm not wrong, there's already a 'single' ready for Jessica and it's playing on air everywhere now.. lol :D So there's no point in winning the competition at all

Honestly speaking I prefer the American Phillips over Jessica to win. When it comes to voice Jessica wins but on the prospect that who would make a lot of sales of albums or who would make it more successful as a singer, Phillips would be the sure pick. Filipinos should not be so ambitious, we should be satisfied that Jessica made it in the second spot, anyway it is "American Idol", if an American join-Philippine Idol version of AI, many would not want a foreigner to win the contest meant for the Philippines.

no reason for fights in here i believe. Jessica is very good but from the start I doubt if she will make it as the winner. America will surely both for american look and I can understand that. It's obvious Jessica is the best in singing, Phil has more charm. u are right Phil is the american, Jessica is the idol. Although it's sad, I read Jessica is getting smaller amount of money for singles or album tan the past runner ups. This one I don't understand.

i find this funny hahaha nice one.. :)))) well anyway wish the 2 of them a music luck

I am a Filipino, and I am very proud of Jessica. She has shown her talent not only to America, but to the whole world. Her talent as described by the judges is extraordinary and she has that incredible gift of voice. In fairness to Philip, he really also deserves to win as his talent is also unique as an artist having his own style making him outstanding amongst others. Jessica won in my heart, but Philip deserves being an idol.

Yes, definitely.. I feel bad for Phillip though, since it is not his fault that the people voted for him and now many are disappointed and say Jessica is the true winner. I hope none of this news come to him, it'll be a bit depressing.
