"In this Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012 photo, American singer-songwriter and winner of the eleventh season of American Idol, Phillip Phillips, Jr. poses for a portrait in New York. In true ""American Idol"" fashion where winners need to strike while the iron's hot, Phillips didn't have a lot of time to record his debut album, ""The World From the Side of the Moon,"" which is now in stores. In fact, he only had three weeks. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Invision/AP)"
