Welcome to the world’s most comprehensive American Idol Winners List. Here’s a hint, there are eleven. We’ll give you last night’s winner, Phillip Phillips as a freebie. When I thought about it I came up with five. Some are easy but most are of the, “Oh yeah, them” variety.

Test your co-workers, family, and friends and here we go!
