- I personally don't think he had the most talent, but he definitely showed he had the most heart in his performances. That won the hearts of millions nationwide, God family and country. It was Beautiful :') -ps and I'm not even American
After helping my teenage daughter recover from a serious medical and mental health condition, this song became my anthem. It captured how I saw my role as a parent. Even now, so many years later, the song brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
So let me get this straight you need a song to express that your treating your daughter like a human being and being a parent? Can I see you SAT scores please? Like what the actual what? That's not a new take that called being a parent
@@filmtheory783 I guess I shouldn't find it shocking that people weaponize the internet for no good reason other than to satisfy some inappropriate personal need. But since you asked, Phi Beta Kappa graduate from Stanford and cum laude from Harvard Law School. It was decades ago, but I scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT. None of those facts make me a better or worse person/parent. I won't ask for your credentials because I don't feel a need. I would ask you to be a better and kinder person, however.
The fact that he was able to get through this performance is still astounding as he had suffered severe kidney stone attack only the day before and was hospitalized! He was released for the performance and then went into emergency surgery after! I remember saying the moment I heard him sing this song that he just won American Idol! Simon Cowell was correct when he used to State it's about the song choice!
he won because he is an extremely talented artist and singer. The fact that this is still a very well known song today and played on so many platforms proves he deserved it
He was on American Idol because he is an extremely talented artist and singer, he won because he was given the best original song ever written for an American Idol finalist. I remember watching this live, and I could not believe how much better of a song it was, than anything I had heard before it on the show.
Or one could say there are no accidents in life... It could of been he was a really great artists whose time had arrived... Could've been it was just a great song... More likely though it was "The Perfect Storm" of the two coming together, either that or Irish Luck (is he Irish 😂😎😉).
It was actually written by someone else and performed at a concert first before Phillip. Philip didn't like the song at first saying "this is not my song" but eventually grew to like it.
i have to say. This song is not that difficult. But it is only special because of Phillip 's unique vocal. Cannot find another to bring people into same vibe.
I didnt know anything about this song until I actually looked his name up. For my marching show this year our show is called Home, because our small town is the closest thing you'll ever see that looks like home. Everybody knows everybody, we all take care of each other. Our first movement is this song, and I can honestly say that our choice couldn't have been better. This song expresses so much in just such little time.
Close childhood buddy of mine wrote this song. First time I heard it, I didn’t know he wrote it, but it sounded familiar. Spent hundreds of hours in his basement watching him hone his gift. Just beautiful.
in his short time a winner off American Idol, He has topped all of them in concerts, sell ofalbums and is loved all over the world.. booked from spring thru fall on concerts... writes his music.. What a great talent we have here.. way to go Phillip
Oops not all over the world though, not here in the Philippines sorry to say. Also, in my opinion, that voice is kinda normal/ordinary, there maybe some emotions in his singing but, vocally he's a meh.
El ganó por que es un artista con alma. Él sabe lo que es, lo que vale y lo que puede llegar a ser. Eso trasmite su música y por eso ganó, por que el público y el jurado sintió su alma, es todo~
wow hes playing the guitar wihtout the neck-strap while standing up! well this song is great ive heard it around 100 times and im not sick of it yet. its a beautiful song congrats phillip!
When me and family saw this being performed, we automatically knew that he was gonna win because it was much more catchy and a bop than the girl’s original song for the top 2
He got a Gold Platinum for this song. They also used it for the Olympics and part of the movie Bears
This song made him millions...love it.
“Gold Platinum” is not an RIAA rating
All winners from previous season get platinum or gold for their first single. AI guarantees that.
@@ericssonerick6972 but the winners after this didn't get the success same as the previous winners though.
@@iamcjestrada I agree Carrie Underwood was the last one that got famous I think.
2023 and I’m still here, this was Magical

Me too

This was THE best! Look at me looking for this 11 years later!

Based parent
Job well done! ❤️
This comment brought tears to my eyes. 🥲 I hope that you and your daughter are doing well and that she is healthy and happy.

The best original song ever written for "American Idol".
Nah, this song might sold more, but "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson will always be the most iconic idol song.
I love that long "settle dowwwnnn", just makes me so emotional from time to time
I was today years old when I learned not only did phillip phillips win american idol, but this was his finale song from American Idol.
Thats just neat

Man, this performance is full of emotion. It's been 12 years I never forgot the moment this perfomance on air that time, still get the same vibe

saying he should’ve won over Joshua Ledet is INSANE.
@@haylee174and Jessica she really should have taken it
@@JulioMartinez-pc8pc No, Joshua i stand on Joshua should have won.
back when I was 14 i was not convinced that he won over jessica. But now I'm 22 and i can feel it. It feels like home when you sing, that's why
Sameee!
Same here
Yepp.
Poor thing, you’ll never get to experience good music! The stuff of today is crap!
@@richardivanich8033 people say this every 15-20 years... there is a ton of GREAT music out there today.
One of the best songs for an American Idol!
God bless his career. He's a man of faith. With God you can do ANYTHING;
No one cares
best selling American idol song. Love it
It's 2021 and I'm still longing for an HD version of this
He tells story when he sings. That's why.
Yes he does!
It was actually written by someone else and performed at a concert first before Phillip. Philip didn't like the song at first saying "this is not my song" but eventually grew to like it.
And Joshua Ledet doesn't?
No he doesnt
He really does
this is one of the greatest songs in history
love him he sure is sent from the heavens 🤟🤟🤟🤟💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👑👑👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i have to say. This song is not that difficult. But it is only special because of Phillip 's unique vocal. Cannot find another to bring people into same vibe.
Mumford and Sons could've easily sang this song.
Your so dumb Nicholas S.
John X it’s the story and meaning not just his voice
@@TheNickyVera Mumford and sons sucks. And they didn't so who cares.
It doesn't matter if a song is hard to play or not, what matters is the emotion and passion you put behind it

The fact that this is his song is mindblowing
He didn’t write it.
@@elizabethb1096since when u have to write the song to make it yours? Gt a grip.
I think this was the performance that made the difference, obviously a winning performance!
wHENER i'M AWAY HOME, THIS SONG ALWAYS REMIND ME THAT i MUST BE HOME. The place where I belonged.
I literally cry hearing this amazing song
I’m from Phil. and I like Jessica, but this song and performance is impeccably amazing.❤
in his short time a winner off American Idol, He has topped all of them in concerts, sell ofalbums and is loved all over the world.. booked from spring thru fall on concerts... writes his music.. What a great talent we have here.. way to go Phillip
Loved him, but he is ranked 10/ Top 20 Idol Contestants in commercial success.
You are just making stuff up. This information is easily googled. He's ranked 12 among the idols.
Oops not all over the world though, not here in the Philippines sorry to say. Also, in my opinion, that voice is kinda normal/ordinary, there maybe some emotions in his singing but, vocally he's a meh.
I think Carrie Underwood is top
forget what yall say this dude is amazing , look up drive me by him , it gives me the chills
Fucx Boi That season was stacked though.
It was anyone's night with the final three.
The song sucks the big one.
Wow my old account got 30 likes on a comment ? Ha too bad I dropped my phone in the toilet
cant help but agree
THE ONLY final song that was ever anything, beautiful song
You can find Rubans last song on a jukebox. If that counts.
When we bought our house 11 years ago, this song was so inspiring! "I'm gonna make this place your home"
I remember all 3 judges gave standing ovation for this performance. The marching band blew them away.. it was beautiful.
Remember watching this live, chills went up my spine when the marching band started. (Chills to a good way)
this performance just gives me the chills every time
I was frustrated when Jessica lost to this man but then watching it now, this makes me emotional. I understood. No explanations needed. He won.
Here from 2019

Jessica with the more powerful voice but Phillip Phillips with amazing artistry. This song is so him and the lyrics are evocative and meaningful.
Singing is good..
But writting something amazing and meaningful is soo much more.
And Phillip is more likable than Jessica and Phillip is humble and seems like a good guy . Jessica not so much
@@azzz7279 lol in your dreams Ledet and Jessica deserve the top 2 not this untalented guy
@@martdeleon5918 period
Change Nothing changes nothing...what an irony
This song is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard

Great song. Thanks. 😎
one of the few times Idol won my heart...sure was not many
history in the making right there!
Love this song in 2018 👍🏼
loved it philip, I am working on my dream. Hope yours is going well. Take care, a really faithful fan
Have you achieved it? Genuinely curious, and I hope you did or are closing in on doing so.
Outstanding!
The fact that he played this song was a little unfair to his competition xD They never stood a chance
Arthur Gangnon this was the round where you write your own song.
How is it unfair, let him be and it was the stage you sing a song that was written for you or your own song
Athandile Qwaqwa I’m pretty sure it was meant to be a compliment but ok sure lol
@@paulk.221 how was it a compliment he said it was unfair
@@stflaw it was his own song actually!
This is his best HOME performance.
This loved song rigth now ❤
Love this song
106°35' 3501" This is home until wanderlust hits again . Thanks Phillip .

WOW - what an amazing voice, such a talented singer. Just love his performance :)

Eu torcia tanto pra ele ❤️
