- description: And so after what must be acknowledged as an evening packed with show-stopping, star-studded performances as well as a marriage proposal (former contestants Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo are engaged) --- and after a record-breaking 132 million votes were officially tallied -- we have our Season 11 "American Idol" winner, America: Phillip Phillips. The 21-year-old guitar-playing crooner from Leesburg, Ga., brought the win home on the action-packed finale of "American Idol" on Wednesday night, making him the show's fifth straight white male winner and depriving runner-up, 16-year-old power vocalist Jessica Sanchez, of her chance to break that streak. And if any of us ever wondered if the competition or the win actually meant all that much to Phillips, who said for him it was all about the music and had pledged to stay his course with integrity and a firm grasp on who he was (and who he wasn't), we sure got our answer. After singing only a bit of his "winner's song," "Home," Phillips dissolved into tears: unable to sing, unable to play, and ultimately, unable even to stand on that stage as the confetti fell like a massive blizzard all around him.
