Keep in mind that today, somewhere in America (by which I mean a small-to-midsized town in the Southeast), in a paint store, pawn shop, or maybe a bowling alley, a young man in his early 20's is flipping through all of the Idol buzz on his cellphone... when he gets home tonight, he'll tune up his guitar, unbutton his shirt (to reveal a dirty white T-shirt), and get back to practicing. He's got places to be, you see.
In a few weeks, he'll be in Charlotte, most likely. He'll be waiting outside Bank of America Stadium for his number... he'll wait through the cattle call... he'll do those silly routines in the stands... and all the while, he'll be thinking "It's me. It has to be me. I'm the next American WGWG".
And he will be. He'll audition for a production assistant barely older than he is, flirt with her a little, and get put through to the judges callbacks in the fall.
We know the rest of the story. We've seen it for the last five years.
He's out there. We haven't met him yet, but we know he's there, and we're ready (nay, eager!) to wrap the arms of Worster Nation around him.
Whoever you are, sir, we await you. We'll see you soon.

Not even a full day after the guitar was passed from #wgwg4 champion to #wgwg5 champion in the lowest rated finale ever, Phillip Phillips is already standing up to his new record label about the kind of music he wants to make. Phillip told The Hollywood Reporter that he has already informed his label that Home will not be his first single, saying, "The song that I did tonight that supposedly is my single, it's not really my single, I told them it's not my single... I don’t write songs like that."
