"It doesn't matter," he told E! Online.
"If it does, then [the voters] weren't really liking the music. I'm trying to get the music out there. I'm not trying to be some boy that tries to look good or anything. I want the music to speak first."
Phillips also revealed that his girlfriend supports him "all the way", saying: "[She] is really proud of me being out there and pursuing my dreams."
The American Idol results show airs tonight at 8/7c on Fox.
