Jessica Sanchez "The Real" American Idol 11


 Someone from Atlanta, Georgia said this about Jessica Sanchez: 

Jessica is clearly the most talented singer this season. I did not vote the week she was voted off and I am so glad she was saved. I do feel that these idol judges(not Tyler) set them up with their comments. This is not new. Simon was the master of build them up to tear them down later. Randy and Jennifer latch on to a favorite and praise them beyond the imagination. One standing ovation is OK. But so many makes them meaningless. Randy runs this judging group simply because he has been around the longest not because he has anything meaningful to say. Yo if I hear pitchy another time, I will... Jennifer is a good blend and I like her presence on the show. I wish Jimmy was one of the judges. His insight is the best. Unlike Simon, he is not mean. He is just professional in his remarks. I hope they add him to the judges next year and get another adviser for the idols. Stevie Nick and Mary J Blige would be my choice. Steven is my favorite judge. His comments are right on. He is his own man. His advice is right on and he is fair. I notice tonight that once Steven said that Jessica should win it all, Randy and Jennifer set out to defeat her. The standing ovation for Phillip was to ensure he stays on. They hope Jessica gets voted off and Phillip goes against Joshua next week. I personally like them all. Joshua performance is very good. Phillip Phillips is an acquired test. But if you acquire that taste, it will stay with you. Now Jessica is a true talent. She is a young Barbara Streisand, Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston. Whether she wins this contest or not, she is a voice to be reckon with in this business. Many a record producers are hoping she does not win so they can sign her up on the spot. I would only buy a ticket to hear Jessica sing and that is what it is all about.

Why Jessica Sanchez Should Win American Idol 11?

Jessica Sanchez Official Portraits 


It is just perfect and timely for American Idol to crown a woman as the next winner because it has long been overdue since Jordin Sparks, the last woman winner of American Idol way back in 2007. Since then all four consecutive winners of American Idol were all white male strumming guitars with David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee De Wyze and Scotty McCreery. A female has yet to win and only ends up a runner up in the last two seasons with Crystal Bowersox and Lauren Laina. The pattern is that a cute white male would still prevail over a woman. This time around a one of a kind rare talent - a young, sultry 16 year old who sings like a diva has such an angelic voice can also be a deserving winner of such a crucial and timely season for a girl to shine. She has proven that talent knows no age and regardless of what color or background you may have. If another male contestant will win American Idol 11, girls will finally leave the show and with only a few remaining girls dare to take it a try. After all, not all male winners went on to become a successful artist later on. Lee DeWyze, the least popular Idol winner, went on to sell only 39, 000 copies of his first Post Idol album when it debuted. Anyway, how can we ignore and deny the fact that fellow American Idol alums, musical artists and celebrities such as Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Kris Allen, Jesse Mccartney, Jordin Sparks, Akon, Jennifer Holliday, Taylor Hicks, Adam Lambert, Jason de Rulo, Pia Toscano, Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams, Mario Lopez, Stefano Langone, Lady Gaga, India Arie, Black-eyed Peas, Lauren Alaina, Colbie Caillat, Pia Toscano, Carly Smithson, Billy Joel, Richard Marx, Elliott Yamin, Ace Young, Diana DeGarmo, Mandisa,Jasmine Trias, Lee DeWyze, Naima Adedapo, Thia Megia, Jane Lynch, television personality Ross Matthews, The Joy Luck Club actress Ming-Na, Hailee Steinfeld, Footloose actor Kenny Wormald and even X-Factor Season 1 finalist Chris Rene and The Amazing Race 19 winner Cindy Chiang Halvorsen expects Jessica Sanchez to win American Idol 11. Time to think things over and let a woman be heard and be an inspiration for all.

American Idol 11 Top 3 Songs List

These are all the songs that the American Idol 11 Top 3 Contestants Will Be Singing 12 hours from now. Each of the three finalists will sing 3 songs: their own choice, mentor Jimmy Iovine's choice and Judge's Choice. Which of these contestants will sing which songs? It's up to you to guess now...

A Message Conveyed Through My Dream





I dream of something beautiful this afternoon. I am in the mall looking around when all of a sudden four people carrying a patient in a mobile stretcher. They are striding on my way upstairs to the highest floor of the mall towards where the theater is located. Then I realized the familiar scene I've seen on a popular tv show and it comes to my senses that the show is brought to life. A lot of people are going upstairs to see the movie on the theater so I went with them. There are a lot of people going up and down the narrow stairs of the big mall that people are squeezed by the jostling crowd in the stairs. I am always waiting for the stair to clear of the massive crowd and when the stair is clear I continue climbing upstairs to the highest floor where the theater is located. I take my time in climbing but sometimes when the stairway is clear and there are a lot of space in front of me and some people behind me are in a hurry, they ask me if they can go ahead so they can reach the top as soon as possible and I allowed them gladly and all of them who ask are women. When I am almost at the top, the stairway becomes shaky and fragile and there is a tendency to crash and topple down but still I continue making my way to the top. When I reached the top, the stairway is still shaking and the floor near the stairway is only made of plywood but beyond that in all other area in that floor is made of concrete solid material that can withstand a strong earthquake. I became shaky and afraid that I wanted to go down to the ground floor but a guy in his twenties blocked my way in the stairway and stopped me. He even threatened me that if I really decide to go down he will push me or make me crash to the ground fatally and I became so afraid much more to the taunting and teasing of another guy behind me. I am very afraid at that time and undecided when I suddenly woke up. When I regained consciousness, I realized that this is the guide to life much more the way to success. I need to prove something. I need to triumph and be victorious despite the insurmountable odds.
