It was a big day for Kelly Ripa! She officially introduced her new co-host, Michael Strahan AND she had American Idol winner, Phillip Phlllips, drop by to sing his hit song, “Home”. OK, that first thing was the really big news. But still!

As an extra added bonus, Aly Reisman and Jordyn Wieber from the US Olympics Women’s gymanstics team were also guests. They name checked Phil as one of the “big stars” they’ve met. Of course, y’all know by know that “Home” became the girls’ theme song during the London Olympics.

Phil chatted with Kelly and Michael about overcoming his kidney problems, and the surprise success of his tune “Home” before strapping on his guitar to sing the coronation song. Check it out below.

    Bwahaha, still wearing grey. Love it. xD

    I think he will improve w/ interviews like Kris did over time, but will similarly still retain some laid-back, private vibe. That’s him, I think. There won’t be some drastic change in personality and that’s cool. Home is still hanging in there at #5. Looking forward to single #2, whenever it appears. :D

    Personally, I find his modesty refreshing:)  Also, like Kris Allen, he has a strongly INTROVERTED personality.  On one board that I regularly post to, one member stated that she felt Phil was ‘untalented’.

    Needless to say, I STRONGLY took her to task about her post and she felt a little hurt.  Only questionn I have is do the AI honchos–Iovine included–know how to promote him properly.  I have my doubts.

    IOW, were I ‘managing’ him–plus maybe some of the other AI11 Top Ten–I would actually use his[and the others] Twitter fans to help.  For example, if Phil agreed, I might have Phil do private house parties for members who ‘bid’:)

    There was a post I saw on this type of ‘new school’ marketing that I will have to find:)  But that is how I would do it.

    Wow, that was the best version yet.  Slowed down a bit, and cut the chorus a bit for the perfect length, to make it not too slow, and the whole thing was so heartfelt. It sounded like Phillip sang it with more care and tenderness than usual.  I started to feel warm and fuzzy all over the place.  I can see this song being used by many different occasions to mark a beginning of good things: engagement, new school, new team, new job, new partner.  I completely understand why people run to iTune when they hear it.  What do we have to do to convince radios to play it more?
