Idol winner Phillip Phillips

A PHIL-GOOD STORY: American Idol crowned a new champion last night. The play-by-play from Ryan Seacrest went like this: "After a record breaking 132 million votes, the winner of American Idol season 11 is ... Phillip Phillips!" Last year's winner Scotty McCreery then handed the trophy to the 21-year-old Georgia native, while the top 12 crowded around him and the judges gave him a standing ovation. Phillips tried to sing his new single, "Home," but got choked up and couldn't finish the song, opting to hug his parents and the judges instead. He prevailed over big-voiced 16-year-old Californian Jessica Sanchez. (5/24a)
