Last night America voted Phillip Phillips as your favorite American Idol for Season 11 with Jessica Sanchez as the runner up. He was so overwhelmed that he broke down into tears during his performance of his new single Home. He told reporters after the show:

"I wasn't thinking about anything, not even the song," he told reporters backstage after the show. "I wasn't really wanting to sing or anything. I just started thinking about the whole journey and how far all of us have come, and how we've made it. It's so overwhelming."

After the finale, the stars came out to celebrate including former Idol winner Carrie Underwood and her handsome hubby Mike Fisher as well as Colton Dixon, DeAndre Brackensick, Hollie Cavanagh, Skylar Lane, Jordin Sparks, Jason Derulo, Julianne Hough, Taylor Hicks and more.

Were you happy that Phillips won?

Adam Lambert will return to where it all began on May 17 when he takes to the American Idol stage with a new single. He tweeted Glambert Nation with the great news confirming he will perform Never Close Our Eyes a week before the show crowns this season's winner.

As you recall he was runner up in Season 8 only to go on to great success. His latest album Trespassing hits store shelves on May 15 marking his second studio album which is receiving great reviews so far which surprises no one that knows of his musical talents!

While Adam respects all of the incredible talent on this season's AI, he has indicated his favorites are Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet. Who do you think is going to win the competition this year?

American Idol's Jessica Sanchez performed Whitney Houston's epic hit 'I Will Always Love You' and I don't know about you but to me she is the only person who comes close to singing it as beautifully as Whitney (not that anyone can really even touch the talent that she was). Although some parts of the song in rehearsal seemed better than on stage but overall a stellar performance. The girl is only 16 years old people!

The judges were all blown away by her performance as was the audience. Randy Jackson gave her a lot of yo's so you know he was on the verge of being speechless. Did you watch? What do you think?

Canadian comic Jim Carrey's daughter Jane Carrey is not only a mom she auditioned for American Idol in San Diego! She looks just like her dad when she smiles!

In the audition tape Jim is seen holding the camera while she practices being the crazy man he is. Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson all gave her a thumbs up!

American Idol's Steven Tyler sang the Star Spangled Banner at yesterday's NFL game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens and people all over Foxborough, Mass. still have screeching ringing in their ears.

On the one hand Steven was just being Steven, but on the other hand it was not one of Steven Tyler's finest moments. The Aerosmith frontman was pitchy, screechy and a little bit scary all rolled into one very short performance.

American Idol already has a huge fan favorite and her name is Brittany Kerr. She might not be the strongest vocalist, but she is GORGEOUS. Doesn't she look like Carrie Underwood? And what a killer body.

This beauty is a 24 year old NBA dancer for the Bobcats and as you can see by the video Steve Tyler was immediately smitten. Jennifer Lopez looked a tad jealous and said no because she didn't feel she was a strong enough singer. I have to agree with Randy Jackson in that with help this girl can go far (like I know what the hell I'm talking about sitting in a dark corner of my basement).

Whether she makes it on American Idol or not something tells me this beauty will have no problem getting a gig. This Charlotte, North Carolina girl is a fitness fanatic that possesses a black belt.
