Watch the reigning American Idol champ, Phillip Phillips perform his new single, “Gone Gone Gone” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Phillip will also be dropping by Jimmy Kimmel Live later to perform. I think the new single is another winner.

    So, so, so Mumford and Sons.  Caro3278sweet

     This song is very Dave Matthews-like.  ladymctech

    I read some reviewers who were talking about the dual, Mumford/Matthews  personality of the album, but you guys are doing it to the same song! Heh. I don’t listen to either of those artists; I’m at your mercy for a description of who this GGG really sounds like – besides the writers, that is. So which is it? Mumford or Matthews? How can you tell?

    And while I’m asking questions, please, what in the world is this song about? The singer will love someone after they have gone and left him flat, or he will love them after they are physically dead and gone? Or does someone have a third possibility? because those two are really downers. IMO.

    TIA

    Ellen DeGeneres?@TheEllenShow Phillip @Phillips sang “Gone Gone Gone” on my show. I love him as much as he loves things that repeat. http://ellen.tv/SMg1cM

    This song does work better with fewer instruments and good backup singers.   The song is not my favorite on the album–I like it–but it is the one that I have trouble getting out of my head.   I don’t think it will take very long to catch on.  You hear it once and you remember it.

    Well Incipit – He worships Dave Matthews (fact – just read his Zine pack, the whole thing is about how much he loves DM). He tries to sing like him, he dances his signature dance as he does, he throws in “yeahs” in every song JUST as Matthews, and some songs on his album that he wrote, he stole parts of the Dave Matthews Band music. Not sure on M&Sons, maybe someone else can offer insight. I love GGG, this performance was horrible. Actually had to plug my ears during the chorus. Can’t wait to watch Idol – hope a girl wins.

    Love Phillip and this song, but I agree that he and the band did sound a little off in this performance.  I think they all need to get back into the groove of performing live again.  Hopefully they will sound better on Kimmel.

    I don’t think Ellen is known for giving big bumps to songs so going from somewhere in the 500s to 129 (that what it is now on iTunes) is actually pretty decent. I think the song has potential.

    Phil was good on Kimmel.  Had a big band with him.  The label is going all out.  He opened his eyes a little bit…they’re blue!!!

    Actually, his eyes are green.   LOL.  Cosmo magazine (I think?) made the same mistake about his eye color when they listed him as one of the ten (?) hotties of summer months ago.   I think his eye color may have been discussed in his interview with Ryan Secrest right after he won AI.
