The top 2 performed in American Idol Season 11 Episode 39. Tonight one of them will be crowned the American Idol 11 winner.
Phillip Phillips has been a clear frontrunner throughout the season, never once having been in danger, in spite of fairly weak vocals and the occasional disastrous performance. Jessica Sanchez has been a vocal powerhouse who nonetheless has been labeled as boring by some. Once Colton was out, she claimed the Twitter crown. Her sole moment in the hot seat came the weak in which she was eliminated.
And now, we wait. 2 hours and however many minutes this thing runs past the DVR allotment.
After 132 million votes, the winner of American Idol Season 11 is Phillip Phillips. I suspect we may possibly hear of him at some point in the future, though I doubt his song Home is going anywhere.
Though it’s fallen and gotten some competition from NFL and NCIS, meaning it is no longer the top ranked show for the first time in about a decade, American Idol still remains one of the highest rated programs on television, so it goes without saying we will be seeing it again next year, hopefully with different judges. Never fear. In the meantime, there are at least 15 other singing shows to fill the void.
