‘American Idol’ winner
Phillip Phillips finds ‘Home’ with strong, self-written debut album

NEW YORK — With the success of his debut single, “Home,”
Phillip Phillips isn’t just the dude who won “American Idol.” He’s the dude with that folk-rock hit, according to the fans he’s met.
由于Phillip Phillips的首单Home灰常成功，对于人们来说，他并不仅仅是赢了美偶的那个家伙，
对于他的粉丝来说，他是那个有一首大热民谣-摇滚单曲的家伙。

“People are like, ‘You’re the guy with the song “Home,’” and I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’ They say ... ‘So do you have any other music out?’ I’m like, ‘There are some covers.’ ‘What from?’ I say, “’American Idol.’” ‘You were on “American Idol”?’” he recalled.
很多人会问我：“Home就是你的歌？”然后我就回答：“对啊对啊”
然后他们问：“那么，你还有啥么歌？”我就回答：“我有翻唱了一些歌。”
问：“在哪里唱的？” 我回答：“美偶啊。”
然后他们就呆了：“神马？你是美偶出来的？？”
“There was a lot of people who didn’t even know I was on ‘Idol,’” he continued. “I think that’s cool.”
有很多人不知道我是美偶来的。我觉得这样挺好的。
【这样的话PP乃说了不止一次了。。。作为一个美偶冠军这样说真的好么 你居然不以美偶为傲，别人不知道你是美偶的你还感觉很好 小心被Jimmy听到不要你了 】

The star power for winners on “Idol” — or other singing competitions on TV — don’t usually continue after the season’s run, but Phillips is hoping he won’t be one of those stereotypes, thanks to the success of his multiplatinum Top 10 hit and debut album, “The World From the Side of the Moon,” which debuted at No. 4 on Billboard’s 200 albums chart this week after selling 169,011 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
很多从选秀节目出来的明星在节目结束后就会flop掉啥的，而Phillip Phillips希望他不会成为其中一个。考虑到他的多白金前十热单和首专的成绩（TWFTSOTM首周在BB专辑榜排第四，169,011），他也并不会成为那些人之一。

The 22-year-old talked about his music, being laid-back and the insta-family and friends who have surfaced since he won the “Idol” crown in an interview with The Associated Press.
这个年仅22岁的歌手在采访中跟美联社谈了他的音乐，他悠闲自在的风格，以及自他赢得美偶冠军之名后突然冒出来的家人朋友。

AP: What do you think of the comparisons of “Home” to Mumford & Sons’ music?
Phillips: People are always gonna compare somebody to somebody else, but I think when people hear the album it’s not gonna remind them of Mumford & Sons too much because I’m a little more rock and you know they’re very folk and they’re amazing. ... I think once they hear this album it’s gonna turn their heads a little bit.
AP：你对人们总是拿Home跟Mumford&Sons的音乐比较有什么感想？
PP：人们总是喜欢比较来比较去的。但是我觉得如果大家听了我的专辑，而它并不会让他们想起Mumford&Sons，因为我更rock一些而他们那个乐队更民谣一些他们灰常棒。总之，我觉得只要大家听了我的这张专辑就不会再那样觉得了。
【PP变聪明了哇还是这里说的话都是别的教的。。可以在回答关于Home的问题的顺便让大家去听专辑

AP: Most “Idol” winners haven’t had success like Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood. Does that make you nervous?
Phillips: I mean if it doesn’t do well it wasn’t meant to do well ... I’d be upset for a little bit, but it’s just what it’s meant to be. I can only hope for the best. I can’t make anybody do anything. I’m nervous about it definitely, but all I can do is hope that it does well.
AP：很多美偶冠军并不能取得像一姐或者木头姐那样的成功，你会很紧张吗？
PP：我觉得，要是我在这条路上走不顺那也是注定的，我会不爽一下下，但是我也不能改变什么。我只能希望一切顺利。我不能让任何人怎么样。关于未来，我肯定是会紧张的，我只是希望能顺利。
【就是这种态度啊从美偶开始到现在从来木有改变，那集moving out导师都让他改变，他死活不管，那句“if people don't like it, it's okay. if they do, it's okay too.”

AP: What do you think of the new “Idol” judges?
Phillips: I’m curious to see how they’re gonna judge and to see what they’re looking for. Keith Urban is an amazing musician so that’ll be cool to have him.
AP：你觉得美偶新评委如何？
PP：我很好奇他们会如何评。很期待看他们新一季会寻找什么样的选手。Keith Urban是个很棒的音乐人，他们请他来挺好的。

AP: How’s your health? (Phillips had major kidney surgery when he won “Idol” this year.)
Phillips: I’m doing great. I’m tired, but staying busy. This reminds me, I have to get a doctor’s checkup.
AP：你现在身体情况如何？（Phillip在赢得美偶冠军之后进行过一次大型手术）
PP：我挺好的。很累，但是很忙。你这一问倒提醒了我，我得去找医生做检查来着。
AP: You were so low-key about your health issues while on the show. Was that intentional?
Phillips: I didn’t want people to feel sorry for me or anything on the show or vote for me for sympathy or anything like that, so I tried to keep it on the DL as much as I could, but the show likes that kind of stuff and they said, ‘We’re gonna put it (out),’ and I can’t really say no because I signed some papers that they could show just about what they wanted to. So, yeah, I tried to keep it as low-key as possible.
AP：在美偶期间，你一直对于自己的身体状况很低调，你是有意这样做的？
PP：我不想让大家同情我然后给我投同情票或者怎么样，所以我尽量不提我的病情。但是节目组喜欢这样的话题，所以他们说：“我们要把你的情况曝出去”。然后因为我签了很多合同啥的，我不能拒绝他们的要求。所以，是的，我是尽量保证低调了。

AP: Do you find a lot of people came out of the woodwork after seeing you on “Idol”?
Phillips: People that were saying they were cousins and good friends with my friend’s friend whose friend of another friend and my grandma’s sister’s other half-sister’s baby’s child. I’m like, ‘Nice to meet you finally.’
AP：你赢了美偶后，是不是很多人冒出来认亲戚啊？
PP：我朋友的朋友的表兄表妹啊啥的，我祖母的姐姐的继妹的孩子的孩子啊，之类的人都冒出来了。然后我就会“很高兴终于有机会认识你”
