Phil Stacey Original Caricature

The caricature of Phil Stacey is on a 9×11 inch piece of white drawing paper. It was hand sketched with such detail as Phil’s vampire-like physique and his country night outfit. This is a great item for any Phil fans or VFTW fans to own. This is the original caricature, and no copies were made, so you will own the only copy ever drawn. It will also come signed by the artist, the wonderfully talented Laura Hawbaker. Currently auctioned at eBay, current bid is 51US$, deadline is on May 30, 2007

U.S. Navy spokesman Bob Anderson confirmed to PEOPLE mag that Idol Finalist, Phil Stacey, will be able to go on the much-awaited American Idol tour this year.

Ryan Seacrest did his usual morning-after interview with newly-axed AI contender, Phil Stacey. He admitted that anyone would want to win the competition, nonetheless, he’s still happy with the fact the he lasted up to the top 6. He says: “Its ended a lot better than I could’ve possibly imagined. I had a rough start… I’m very fortunate to have lasted that long.”

When asked who his favorite mentor was, he gladly said QUINCY JONES, pretty much for being the most hands-on teacher that he was. Phil said that Mr. Jones stayed in the studio to hang out with the gang (did a lot of coaching) and didn’t leave until the last person left from the studio.

Right now, Phil is looking forward to going back to Jacksonville to spend time with his family. He is still very much in the Navy, and will wait for his superiors’ feedback if he can go on the AI tour.
