I felt like a proud mama last night.  I proud mama to Phillip Phillips.

He won American Idol Season #11!

From DAY 1 Phillip Phillips has been my favorite.  I have voted for him every single week.  I have sat watching every Tuesday night hoping he does well.  I have gotten nervous every Wednesday evening when it was results time.  There was one week Phillip Phillips was in the bottom 3, and I was crushed!

But that changed as the weeks went on. He became more and more of the American Idol heart throb and it was amazing to see him come into his own week after week.

But seeing him win last night…

… the best part for me was watching him become so emotional while he was trying to sing his last song, and then the only thing he could do was run over to his family and hug them.

As a mom, they touched my heart!

BRAVO Phillip Phillips!
