American Idol 2012

Yes i just read that yesterday, i often wondered why he makes so many faces when singing, and maybe that is why, or maybe it is just him,wow poor guy, i hope he did not win by the sympathy vote though, or did no-one know until now, great courage, kidney stones are really bad news, i have not had them but family members have,not nice,very painful.

I didn't know he was having any problems with his kidneys or anything else.. I did wonder why he wasn't doing any of those screaming songs that everyone else does and why he wasn't jumping all over the stage but that was what I liked about him. He actually sang to you instead of screaming at you... he was always so calming and relaxing to listen to. I LOVED how he took a old song and changed it up like he did "The Letter"... That was amazing! He is one that made the songs he sang HIS. I kept saying to myself that he was a rare artist, one of the most rarest ones I ever saw..... Now I wonder what part those kidney stones played in that...?

It was only mentioned one week that he had had surgery during the week, and then they stopped mentioning it, probably so he didn't get any votes just because of sympathy. They also kept it off the Internet, probably for the same reason.

Laura, I think he's just a calmer person in general anyway, which is nice!

HIS ablums, I would buy! Like I said, his music is calming and easy to listen to IF he keeps singing like he did on AI!

Phillip was on Leno the other night, Jay asked about his condition, he said he would be having surgery very soon, and that he was waiting til after Idol was finished.

If you noticed, he wasnt in any of the FORD music videos..could be because of his condition.

I was happy with his win, clearly he was having difficulties at times..but was a trooper.

Yes I saw that too, Phillip said he would get the surgery before the tour started in July. I wish him the best.

my mother had kidney stones and a stent put in before surgery and it was so painful, she had to have the stent out, so i can just imagine what kind of pain he was in.

Funny how you liked how he changed the old songs in to his own, i hated that about him, especially one song that i love, cannot for the life of me remember it now, but i was horrified at how he changed it, mind you the judges did not give him good reviews on that one, so i guess they felt as i did.

Anyhow even though he was far from my pick, i wish him well in his career and also for his upcoming surgery...
