Big Dreams Really Do Come True!
If you love music as much as I do you probably watched American Idol at some point this year. I got hooked the first time I saw Philip Phillips audition. He blew me away, reminding much of Dave Matthews who I am a big fan of. I’d love to hear his rendition of ‘Crash into Me’. Philip has a raw natural talent and stayed true to himself throughout the entire season. A true musician.
I sent him a Facebook message at the beginning of the season telling him I loved his musical expression and I hoped he would go all the way, and low and behold he responded to me with gracious thanks and asked if I write songs. Phil Phillips has shown us that Dreams Really Do Come True! Even really BIG ones!
I watched the season finale and have to admit I had tears rolling down my cheeks along with everyone else who watched this talented young man break down on stage. It must have felt so surreal. His dream came true while being watched by millions of fans and his family was standing right in front of him. Powerful indeed! He walked off stage in tears and headed straight Home where he was embraced by loving proud supportive arms. What a thrill for his parents and relatives! Life may change for Philip but I have a feeling he will remain the same! There is something so special about watching a dream be reached, it inspires all of us to reach for the star!
Dream Big!
Just Awesome! Congratulation Philip! ((((((smile))))) I look forward to watching you grow and unfold, creating music that inspires all of us!
Season finale…
Here is the entire song for those who want to see it in complete form. 😉

…or not if your name is Jessica Sanchez.
Too bad, she was an amazing singer consistently throughout the season.
Congratulations to Philip.

Don’t think for a moment Jessica Sanchez didn’t reach one of her many dreams in her musical career! She blew me away too only 16 years old! She has some pipes!
It didn’t really matter who won we are going to be hearing more of them. I could sit and listen to Philip sing all day long, love his style…more my type! He was my fav as soon as he sung his first song!
