Great minds think alike I guess.

Yes, personally I think he interpolated a little of it in there.

If he is any kind of fan he would be very pissed. AND if he was any kind of fan he'd fly his ass to at least one show.

What if he does win though, a multi-million dollar contract and enough notoriety that you could probably snake a meet and greet with DMB through your label... thats too cool, haha.

This kid's got skills, maybe its because he mimics Dave to a T but Usher's nice and slow was phenomenal.

So I was trying to see if there was a video of everyone's favorite AI contestant actually covering Dave. While I didn't find one, I did come across something interesting. He does have a band and (SHOCKER) it has a sax player in it (just missing the violin). The kicker however is the name......wait for it.......you guessed it, The Phillip Phillips Band! "Almost as creative as the Dave Matthews Band."

Anyway there was a video but they were playing Halo by Beyonce and I couldn't bring myself to subject you all to that awful song.

Well said. This guy is a beast. Here is another video of him doing a hip-hop medley in all his Dave-like glory. Enjoy!

Is it me or is there something that slightly bugs you about Phil Phillips.

Yes, he is talented and has a good voice. But, I think what bugs me the most about him is that he steals somebody else's mannerisms (Dave's Style) to catapult him as a musician...I find it annoying.

It seems like part of the link is missing...

You're using mobile links it looks like... Maybe those don't work with the YouTube thingie on WDS? Try posting one from your computer from the full site?
