Phil Stacey – “If You Didn’t Love Me”

Hey Jim what are you doing for fun tomorrow? covering yourself in honey and running through a bee haven?

I agree though [ducks]

where my girls at?? Philnatic Phriends Unite!!

I’m so sick of American Idol and the people it generates that I could vomit.

PS. Phil rocks!!!!

Oh, and one more thing, in response to Peter, I don’t watch American Idol, as a rule. Last season was the first and only season I have watched, and I don’t intend to watch again. I stumbled upon AI last year when the top 24 guys sang and saw something in Phil that drew me to him, and I was hooked. He’s the reason I watched, and I stopped when he left the show.

Agreed you at least listened to the song and put some thought into your review. Not every one likes the same kind of singing voice. I, for one, do not like twangy, whiny, nasally singing. And I realize not everyone likes American Idol, however, it has uncovered some really good talent, such as Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtrey, and Carrie Underwood. I have watched AI since the first season. I am not a teeny bopper,in fact I have a son a little younger than Phil. I am not an obsessed fan. In fact, I never even voted for anyone on the show until last season when I voted for Phil. It was not only his voice that appealed to me, but his realness, his humble spirit and the love and appreciation he has for his wife. There is nothing phony or conceited about Phil Stacey. He is the real deal and I will continue to support him. Thanks again for your unbiased review.

Hello, I’d like to say, as a Phil fan, thank you for sharing your opinion and giving this 2nd review some thought. No one is asking that we share opinions. How boring would that be? I like Phil’s voice, but I became a fan because of his unquestionable love for his wife and children. He has amazing strength and character. That might not take him far in the music industry, but it will have outstanding benefits for his personal life. I also have faith in his talent and feel as if he will have amazing success, even if he doesn’t become the next in top sales. Thanks again for your honest review.

I’d never heard of Phil Stacey until today; if only I could have kept ahold of my ignorance. This song makes me think back to an Alan Jackson George Strait collaboration: “Murder on Music Row”

The very things you said are absent from Phil Stacey’s voice are the things that make him more palatable to me. I find grit, throatiness, and whining irritating over time, whereas a well-trained, clear tone with interesting vocal embellishments emminently more listenable. Fortunately, there’s a singer to satisfy every ear and and I think we’ll see that Phil Stacey is going to develop his own style and an enthusiasstic following.

I agree with Melissa. I love Phil, not only for his voice, but for what I like to see in a man: love for his God, country, wife, and children.

Hey, sounds like Phil Vassar without the phraternity. Wink wink, nod, nod.

Honestly, how much to we know about anyone we see only on a television screen or hear on a radio or meet one or two times. In an industry that relies heavily on PR, I try to pay attention only to the music. Over the years and only with long times do we get to know a little bit about the singers and bands who want us to love them.

Funk I agree! We have to be careful about buying into PR.

PR people want us to think like this “Hey, I’m patriotic. Hey, Daryl Worley is patriotic. I know so because he wrote a patriotic song and puts the U.S. flag on his CD cover. He said he is sincere about this and country singers are sincere people. I know they are sincere because they always tell me how sincere they are! Gee we’re both patriotic, I guess I should support this guy’s music.”

The trick, of course, is that if the listener is really interested in supporting patriotism, there are a lot better ways of doing it than buying a Country music CD.

So now we’re hearing from Paula Abdul under a pseudonym?

To all the naysayers, I will tell you Phil Stacey is a wonderful young man. He went to college with my son and he is just very down to earth and totally a nice guy!!! This is no PR junk, this is an honest person telling you exactly the way it really is. Phil loves his country, his wife, his kids, his pfans, his God. He is the real deal. Anyone would be better for knowing Phil Stacey. Phil Stacey has all the qualities a real American Idol should possess. I always said an American Idol would be someone I would want my kids to look up to and be like, I would be very proud to have my son be like Phil Stacey. Actually he pretty much is. You get my point. Any PR that comes out about Phil that is good, believe it, he is that person.
