I've mention here some of the few pointers why Phillip Phillips has a greater chances of winning this year's season of American Idol, including the remarkable streak that since season 7, male contenders which are now called as White Guy With a Guitar won the competition and another factor is the unpredictability of the voters, and those factors came into a play in today's finale show.
But does it mean that Phillip Phillips victory is a fluke and that the half-Filipino Jessica Sanchez is better than him? Nope, the most important factor in American Idol is for the competitors to know what kind of artist they are, what type of music they will be recording in the future and uniqueness among the rest. And Phillip Phillips prove that during the final performance night. On the other hand Jessica Sanchez indeed has a powerful and soulful voice, but I think she stuck herself too much in mimicking other artists like Beyonce and the late Whitney Houston and that didn't turn out well.
