My Take
Phillip Phillips faced the trap every talent-show winner faces: being remembered as a contestant rather than an artist. His coronation song "Home" became the best-selling such single in American Idol history, which could have boxed him in forever. What I respect is that this Georgia kid kept writing and playing his own roots-tinged, gravel-edged songs instead of coasting on one viral hit. The earthy, unpolished quality of his sound feels honest to where he came from. Reality-TV origins fade; songwriting endures, and Phillips clearly bet on the latter, which earns my quiet applause.
