Now that Candice Glover cinched the title of American Idol Thursday, 2012 winner Phillip Phillips is happy to guide her as she begins her exciting new journey. OK! GALLERY: SEE PHOTOS OF AMERICAN IDOL SUPERSTARS CARRIE UNDERWOOD, JORDIN SPARKS, KELLIE PICKLER AND CHRIS DAUGHTERY IN THE VALERIE GALLERY Hm, what would he tell her? “Just be yourself,” the Home singer, 22, tells me during a Universal Orlando event. “Have fun, and know what kind of artist you want to be. Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself. That’s my advice.” OK! GALLERY: PHILLIP PHILLIPS WINS AMERICAN IDOL—CHECK OUT THE BEST MOMENTS FROM THE FINALE Although Randy Jackson has confirmed—and Nicki Miinaj is hotly tipped—to be leaving the show, this Georgia guy is not interested in taking a judges seat. “Oh, heck no,” he says. “I don’t really have the right to judge anybody. [laughs]” Psst—Jordin Sparks called it first, predicting Candice would be the first female winner since she won in 2007. She was right!

Obviously the winner of American Idol‘s 12th season was going to be a woman since this is the first time in many seasons that the two finalists are female. Other than that, I don’t give a shit who takes the prize because, seriously, are these victors (who always sound like cats being strangled) ever heard from again? Not really, except maybe Kelly Clarkson or even Carrie Underwood. That said, do not read further if you want to be surprised… The winner was just announced: Candice Glover, a South Carolina native who wanted to be a guidance counselor before she appeared on Idol. But here are the musical acts on the final show. Mariah Carey performed a medley that included her new single, Randy Jackson accompanied her on bass, Keith Urban did a new song, and last year’s judge Jennifer Lopez sang and danced to her new single “Live It Up” alongside rapper Pitbull. Jennifer Hudson, Aretha Franklin (via satellite from Japan), former Idol Adam Lambert, Psy and Frankie Valli also performed on the Idol stage.
