Such a good sport!

Jessica Sanchez, the 16-year-old American Idol runner-up, isn't too disappointed that she lost to Phillip Phillips. In fact, she thinks he deserved it and is just relieved that the season is over. After the season finale, she told reporters:

Sorry Phillip Phillips!

Last night's American Idol finale was the show's lowest rated finale in… FOREVER!

20.7 million may sound like a large number — but in terms of people watching the season finale of American Idol, that's LOOOOW!

On the bright side, Idol's still pulled in 3 million more than viewers than Dancing with the Stars got for their finale Tuesday night. AND, Idol's 6.1 demo score beats the shiz outa DWTS's 3.2 demo.

Actually, no shows did great last night!

Modern Family's season finale was down from last year's, with 9.9 million amazing viewers.

ABC's other finale of the night, Revenge, stayed stagnant with 7.7 million people still interested it's thickass plot.

So Phillip, you're off the hook.

Where's the love for the ladies?!

While we definitely send our congratz to Phillip Phillips for his season 11 win, we can't help but wonder why Jessica didn't — especially with that PHENOMENAL voice of hers!

Had 16 year old Jessica Sanchez won American Idol last night, she would've been the FIRST girl to take the crown since Jordin Sparks did in 2007, at age 17!

If you haven't been keeping up this season, then you HAVE to check out the video (above) from last night's finale, of Jessica singing And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going with Jennifer Holliday! JENNIFER HOLLIDAY! We're blown away!!

Gurl can SANG!!!! What a powerhouse!

We wish the best for both Phil and Jessica's careers!!

Now, for Season 12 — let's get a girl winner!

Perhaps one of the MOST emotional moments of last night's American Idol finale wasn't JUST Phillip Phillips being crowned…but one that came as a blast from Idol's past!

Last night's show had its fair share of Idol alum in the audience — including season three runner-up, Diana DeGarmo and season five's pretty boy, Ace Young!

Though they didn't originally find love on set of the hit show, the current couple got close after

Ask and we shall receive!

Jennifer Lopez did not disappoint in the fashion department on part two of the American Idol season finale.

For what could very well be her last time on the Idol stage, J.Lo wowed in a shimmering Blumarine mini dress and studded Christian Louboutin heels.

This is exactly what we wanted to see and she rocked it!

Thank you for answering out fashion prayers, Jenny!

Just when we think we've seen it all from Rihanna, she goes and pulls the rug right out from underneath us!

The pop star took her latest single from Talk That Talk, the Calvin Harris and Dr. Luke-produced Where Have You Been, to the American Idol stage last night for a special, season finale performance, and although she didn't switch up the color of her recently dyed back-to-black locks, she may have well have, because she was rocking some seriously FEROSH dreadlocks!

Ch-ch-check her out (above)!

WOW! We LOVE it!

A true Princess Of China Hollywood!

Looking great, gurl!

And SOUNDING even better!

Phillip Phillips has not only been pushing through round after round of American Idol, but he's also been battling constant pain.

He has kidney stones that should've been operated on weeks ago but he didn't want to drop out of American Idol.

His father said:

"He's doing good right now, but it's been a long hard struggle for him. I'm so proud of him. He just sucked it up and endured and he overcomes."

It's so amazing he won it while in serious pain; imagine how he would have destroyed it if he was totally healthy!

His mother chimed in:

"That's our baby and we're just so happy that he made it through!"

So now that he's made it through… what's next? His dad continued:

"He's got to have reconstructive surgery on his kidney. That's why he has a stint in him. He's had a surgery since he started American Idol already to get through. That's why they put the stint in him [so they] could keep his kidney functioning good. Physically he's in good shape. He said it's painful wearing the stint. That's why you see him moving like an old man. He can't move. I can't wait until he has his surgery and he recovered and ya'll see him 100%."

What's crazy is his kidney stones don't come as a surprise to the rest of his family.

His dad said:

"I've had them. Where we live at is like the kidney stone capital of the world. It's in the water."

That's terrible! Well now that Phillip is the true American Idol champion, he can move away to somewhere where the water isn't full of kidney stones!

We know that's not how kidney stones work. LOLz!

Congrats, Phillip and feel better!!
