Months of hard work and determination has come to this, friends. Jessica Sanchez competed tonight as one of TWO finalists (along with Phil Phillips) vying for the American Idol crown in the 11th season of the long running competition. It’s clear the girl can sing, but admittedly she played it a little on the safer side this week – sticking to power pop ballads. But in our humble opinion, she deserves to be your next American Idol. Let’s make it happen!

Aaaaaaand it’s official. Jessica Sanchez has officially tied Jasmine Trias for placing the furthest as an Asian-American in American Idol thus far. Of course, Jessica still has a chance to break that milestone and just may be able to take the whole shebang. Tonight, she was declared in the top 3 of this week’s 4 remaining contestants, as Hollie departed from the show. Let’s all rally behind Ms Sanchez, not just because of her heritage, but because her talent deserves it. Let’s make J. Sanchez our next American Idol!
Ooooph. Jessica Sanchez does it again. She absolutely killed it tonight with her performances of two powerhouse songs, “Steal Away” by Etta James and “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” by Jennifer Holiday. She got unanimous praise across the board and if she doesn’t land in the Top 3 tomorrow, I don’t know what else could have done it. Standing O! Amazing job, Jessica.
Etta James – “Steal Away”
Jennifer Holiday – “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going”
Although the number of contestants is dwindling down, the competition is only heating up for Jessica Sanchez. The pressure is on, but thankfully American hasn’t turned their backs on Ms Sanchez yet, as she advances in this week’s competition, placing into the Top 4. If she can make it one more week, she’ll tie Jasmine Trias as the highest placing Asian American artist on the show in it’s 11 years. We’ll continue rooting for the pint-sized powerhouse – let’s just hope she stays in step with her competitors down this final stretch.

Wow, we’re already at the Top 5 for the 11th season of American Idol. Jessica Sanchez and her fellow contestants once again had the opportunity to sing two songs, from the 60′s and of Brit-Pop nature. Unfortunately, critical reception seems to be a bit middling, with Jessica accused of taking the safe, dull route and not making bold enough choices to stand out. We’ll find out in just under 12 hours what the results will be for this week, but here’s to hoping that the chosen one the judges saved just a few weeks ago isn’t on the chopping block once again.

Perhaps many of you were caught up in the NFL draft but are curious about the results of tonight’s American Idol. But I’m here to say, rest easy folks. Our young starlet is once again safe for another week of nerve wracking competition in the musical boiler-room known as American Idol. Despite a night of performances that weren’t quite flawless, Ms Sanchez avoided the bottom 3 all together – earning herself a spot among the Top 5. It’s getting real here, friends. Keep supporting the kid! Full recap over at MJBB.
We’re down to the Top 6 finalist in American Idol, and once again the contestants had the opportunity to sing two songs during last night’s show. Our young Jessica Sanchez opened the show with her take on Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, and then started the 2nd half with Luther Vandross’ “Dance With My Father”. The former seems to have drawn a mixed reaction throughout the interwebz, while the latter has evoked mostly critical praise. Hopefully Ms Sanchez did enough to help her avoid elimination – remember, there’s no more judges’ save.
