Are you ready for another performance of “Home” from American Idol winner, Phillip Phillips? He performed the mega-hit song at last night’s (Feb 16) NBA All-Star Saturday Night, ahead of today’s game.

Yes, we’ve heard the ubiquitous song a zillion times, but the band IS working on keeping things fresh. This version features some nice, countrified guitar breaks, flourishes that are just perfect for a basketball event. Ha.

    LOL, what happened to the days when the labels used to move onto the next single quickly?

    I think it’s $$$$. It takes a lot of it to distribute a song to radio and get airplay. (translation – “legal” payola). ;)

    “Another “Home” performance – In come back to the
    United States for the rest of the aritcle, Phillip Phillips stopped by
    the first part of NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston to perform a song that
    has taken much of the world by storm over the past eight months:
    “Home.”

    We are not going to argue against the claim that this song has been
    played a bit too often for some people, and even booking Phillip for
    this event in particular was a little surprising. Nonetheless, he still
    sings with as much heart and tenderness as he always does, and we have
    to applaud that.”

    These are the same days but this song refuses to die. Apparantly, she can fit every f… situation in the world. In a war, in a tragedy, olympics, in love, even in prison, you can always “make this place your home”. I guess we must have to accept that they’re going to make this song our home.

    New people are hearing the song all the time.  It might help sales if Phil would sing ‘home’.  It occurs only 3 times and he usually does something goofy instead of singing the all-important final word, which just happens to be the name of the song, which they need to buy it….just sayin’.

    Looking forward to the time when I can say that I miss this song.

    The performance was good..i love the song and i love PP so much. But i think he looked tired on that performance..maybe because of what happened to her mom? I just wish him luck and I hope his family will be okay. PP deserves all the happiness!  :)
