On Tour with American Idol: The Phil Stacey Q&A

Sure, life on the road can be glamorous. But ask top-10 finalist Phil Stacey and he'll tell you — despite the perks of touring with American Idols Live — there really is no place like home. "I just miss my family," says the chrome-domed singer, whose youngest daughter, McKayla, was born during his first audition for Idol. Just before reuniting mid-tour with his fam, Phil shared a few minutes with TV Guide. TV Guide: How's the tour going?Phil Stacey: I'm holding up. Actually, I'm having the time of my life. I just miss my family. TV Guide: Have your wife and baby been out to visit?Phil: They were on the road with me until Nashville. Now I haven't seen them for a few weeks. Then we'll meet up with them again in San Diego. TV Guide: Has your wife sent you photos so you don't miss a

Idol Chat Takes on Your Favorite, Blake's "Love" and More!

Idol Castoff: "It's Anybody's Ball Game Now"

Phil Stacey, one of American Idol's two Wednesday castoffs, is singing the praises of the lone male left in the mix. As well as, yeah, the other three finalists. "I think Blake is most likely to be the most original contestant ever on American Idol. He just blew it out this week with Bon Jovi," Phil said in a press conference call. "Melinda is possibly the greatest singer Ive ever heard on the show; LaKisha sings with so much passion that it's hard to listen to her and not get chills; and Jordin has got a range that lasts for days, her upper notes have so much power behind them." Phil opted not to forecast the ultimate outcome, saying, "Honestly, I think it's anybody's ball game at this point. Im really looking forward to seeing how it goes from here on out."As for this week's other elimination, the bad news for Chris Richardson's femme fans is he's... single. "I just got out of a three-and-a-half-year relationship back home," he shared. "All of the rumors that are going...

Idol Castoff: "It's Anybody's Ball Game Now"

Blake Becomes Idol's Last Man Standing

In Wednesday night's double elimination on American Idol, Phil Stacey (who should've known he was in trouble when he was asked to sing a number by a hair band) and Chris Richardson finally got sent home. Which makes sense, right? I've thrown away paper towels that are more charismatic than poor Phil, and Chris... come on. The only time the bargain-bin J.T. has hit the right note has been with his stylist. This leaves the newly brunette Blake Lewis as the last contestant to represent the male of the species. Sputter, man! Sputter and hiccup and do that spitting thing you do like your life depends on it!UPDATE: OK, it needs to be asked: Who is your current favorite to win American Idol?
