It’s certainly been a long road for crooner Phillip Phillips.  Narrowed down from thousands of contestants, the young singer bested 16-year-old powerhouse vocalist Jessica Sanchez  to be named 2012’s American Idol.  With a record setting 132 million votes between the two of them, it was ultimately the 21-year-old guitarist that took the prize.

While we look forward to music from both of the blossoming vocalists, we at That Grape Juice extend our congratulations to Mr. Phillips for being crowned this year’s American Idol!
