Yesterday afternoon, I saw I had a missed call and a voicemail from a number I didn't know. When I listened to it, it was Z104 telling me that I had won lunch for me and a guest (along with other winners) to eat lunch and have a small performance and Q&A session with PHILLIP PHILLIPS!! He was SO good. He sang Gone, Gone, Gone for us. I took my friend Katie with me :) Katie asked him about his favorite songs on his album, and I asked him if he had any crazy concert stories...he had crazy stories but none that he could share with us because they were too weird he said. We were all also handed an 8x10 photo of him that he had signed! Such a great keepsake. In the Q&A he was asked who his favorite American Idol judge was, and he said Steven Tyler because he was a weird dude. Also, he saw my camera that I was using, and he said, "Nikonnnnnn" before we shook hands, hahahaha.
As we were leaving the radio station, we saw Phillip get into a Hyundai Sonata. Normal car. He was the passenger and there were a few other people in the car. We waved to him as we were leaving the parking lot, but he wasn't looking at us at all.
As we were stopped at a stoplight down the road, I said, "Oh my God Katie he is right behind us." WE WERE DRIVING AND PHILLIP PHILLIPS WAS BEHIND US! A little farther down the road, they started to pass us so we waved, and he waved and made goofy faces back at us!! So unforgettable and so starstruck!
He is completely down to earth and such a nice and genuine guy. If you haven't listened to any other songs other than Home or Gone, you need to get on that.
