Here’s Phillip Philip’s Studio Performance of “Home” written by Andrew (Drew) Pearson and Greg Holden. What do you think? I’m not ashamed to admit that I downloaded this one. It will be interesting to see which, if any radio stations play this tune.

And as bonus…here’s Greg Holden, the British artist who cowrote “Home,” performing the song.

    I ran into the original version of “Home” before I came here, with Greg Holden performing.  I didn’t like it – but I’m definitely no fan of Mumford and Sons either.
    Not really much actual singing going on there. 

    So I don’t expect to like this pick from TPTB much – -  if I ever listen to Phillips version, which I gather, is pretty much the same thing – but there’s a Drum Corp? OK then. I guess that’s better camouflage than a Heavenly Choir. Marginally.

    This is the first coronation song that I’ve actually liked.  Great pick and very well done by Phillip.

    Not my type of music, but catchy.  I would probably still change the station.

    like both versions (P2) and the orginal…

    I think it’s a testament to how much idol has changed, even in the last 2 or 3 seasons, that he got to pick a coronation song that suited him (even if he doesn’t consider it his song / first single).

    Was this song (the original) ever on any soundtrack or featured on any other show or something? It sounds SO dang familiar to me… like I’ve heard it somewhere before…

    Actually, I’m 99% certain I’ve heard this song somewhere before.

    His “Home” song is boring to me and sounds like some 70s oldies song by Simon and Garfunkel.  Not my vibe but its the style that will appael to a category of middle age women/middle America demography who voted for Phillip and buying his similar 70s soft rock covers on itunes.  Jimmy knows this “Home” is the old fashion song those fans would like, and they will go to the idol tour to hear it and get it on itunes even if radio may not embrace it.  It seems money that idol tour generates is more important to idol producers than CD they sell, cause that’s how top 10 gets paid.  And the middle age women/middle America goes to the idol tour most and take their kids.

    P2 didn’t pick this song. This was the only song that he was given to sing.
