PP is a very good singer/performer but this obvious bias that the judges and the show are doing is really making him look really bad

Yehey Randy loves the production number the drummers... I hope next time they just let the singers do the singing themselves without any backup singers so we will see who really is the better singer

"Home" sang by Philipp Philipps is a song that has been performed by a band in Germany. How can this be considered as the first single for PP? Totally not an original for him. I really think it's a wrong choice of song for  PP.

This is a no contest. It's so obvious there is a bias judgement here. Sooo obvious!

Standing ovation? bias comments? Dude, you have children & family that you put to shame whenever you do this.

i always thought that AI is in the quest for searching the next best singer in America...but with how the finale turned out the judges seemed to be singing a different tone....no wonder Simon left the show...

Phiilip is a real musician, he's got the voice, the style, the skills. and yes jessica sings amazing, but she is just a performer. phillip deserve to win, because he has a rare  and non common talent. evry time i watch his performances, it just feel like i'm watching a concert,  whether  he wins or not, he obviously will do amazing things! can't wait for his first album!

After reading the comments below, I wouldn't be surprised if Jessica wins, deserved or not, due to votes from the Philippines and Latin America. She is definitely very talented, no doubt about it. I personally think that Phillip is more talented all around. The fact that he is able to play the guitar and arrange music is admirable. He is the most original of the last 3 contestants. Regardless of the outcome, I believe that he will be successful. I hope he makes his own music even after idol. I wish both Jessica and Phillip the best of luck

This is so WRONG - Joshua is the best ever - Would love to see his classy exit song in it's entirety.

America got it right. Philip and Jessica deserve to be in the finale. They were the best and the majority of america loved them better than Joshua. We connect more with their music. But all ten are talented. Can't wait for the finale.

I love both Jessica and Philipps who are now in the finale, I can't get over the fact that both are very nice young kids, so good natured, something that is quite rare nowadays!  I'm so sad to see Josuah go, a lovely young man.  Joshua God bless you!

Natasha Pena 6 pts

I love who made it to the finale...they both deserved it.  Everyone just needs to shut up and deal with it. Phillip is sick with kidney issues and has put off surgery ever since he started the competition...THAT is a real artist, not someone who is like "Boohoo I'm afraid of airplanes...waaah."

I will admit though, Joshua was a good singer and I am SURE he will get signed by somebody.

haters stop bashing! phillip is just phillip and he did amazing on idol! that is why he is in the finale! no matter what you say or whatever! admit it! he is the top 2! million people rooting for him! from all ages, nations, genres and everything because what? he is just a musician! he apports such grreat stuff like his special voice! his special skills to perform! just not TYPICAL! HE IS FRESH IN HIS OWN WAY AND PEOPLE JUST SIMPLY LOVE THAT! HEMAKE SONGS UNIQUE AND HE DEF IMPROOVED A LOT IN THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND JUST NOW HE IS THE BOMB! AND BEING WITH SEVERE KIDNEY PROBLEMS AND DO ALL THAT PLEASE! GIVEE HIM A BREAK! THIS GUY IS SO SPECIAL IN HIS OWN WAY! HE DOESNT HAVE TO SCREAM OR TO HAVE AN INCREDIBLE RANGE CAUSE PART OF HIS CHARM IS BEING INCREDIBLE IN WHAT HE DO IN HIS OWN STYLE TO SING LIKE OLD SCHOOL MUSICIANSS AND APPORTING SOMETHIN NEW AND EXCITING NOT THE SAME BORING PEOPLE THAT JUST SINGS SCREAMING AND NOTHING ELSE! SO YOU HATERS AND BASHERS DO WHATEVER YOU WANT BECAUSE: HE IS IN IT TO WIN IT! GO PHIL! ROCK THE FINALE! GOOD LUCK AND GET WELL YOU ARE THE IDOL FOR MILLION PEOPLE! LOVE!

 luna-ser Everyone knows how Phillip sings. And everyone knows his capacity as a signer. Be real. There a lots of people that knows music. And lots of people are not plastic & they are telling what they know is the truth. No denial. It's ok to vote to whomever you want regardless of the talent. But lying & denying is different.  Please be truthful & let others share how they view or rate them.

 luna-ser Yep, he is different and unique.  Nobody out there sings or performs like Phillip.  We have a lot of  Mariah, Whitney etc.  But this man is different.  We will see.

I would like to hear Jessica sing WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME for the finals!

I think that powerful ballad by DIANA ROSS will fit her voice fine!

The most honered thing the judges did on the show was saving jessica sanchez...i totally agree with that...she souldnt been in the bottom 3 that night...deserved that safe....

Katy Lopes

Its not fair...they trying to influence the voters to go in their direction which is the wrong direction....but jessica you the best and keep fight to the finish....your my all time idol regardless we what happens in the finale....

Katy Lopes

I new the judges wanted phillip and joshua in the finale because I see how supportive they were on joshua and phillip the whole entire season...judges need to stop these favoritism among idols...i honestly believe that as a 16 y.o. Jessica To come and fight then do all that she definately earned the finale spot...the others made it because the judge's favoritism...

Katy Lopes
Katy Lopes

Agree on jess and josh...would've been a good fight in the finale because they both got talen, vocal range, and performance...i dont know how phillip made it in the finale...im confused really and america's confusing...they dont know how to vote...they go based on judges comments...those judges needs to go asap...im dessapointed...
