Hooray to Jessica Sanchez, Idol Top 2!
Filipinos all over the world are rejoicing today for Jessica Sanchez, the first Pinay who made to American Idol’s Top Two (2).
Jessica’s powerful vocals has impressed the world and at 16, she sang her way to the finals, a rare opportunity for Americans of mixed descent (being a part-Filipina and part-American). She was almost eliminated a few weeks ago but saved by the judges who can’t afford to let her go. Fearing Jessica would lose her chance on winning because of her being a half-American, Pinoys and her fans from other nationalities wedged a campaign for Jessica which resulted to her getting high votes in the last episodes.

Vying for the top two spots, she competed with soul singer Joshua Ledet and crowd-favorite Philip Phillips. Her fans (including me!) were worried about the turnout of the votes for the top three as Jessica’s voice faltered somehow during her song numbers because of he sore throat. Twitter and Facebook were flooded with messages of support and prayers for Jessica.
Thankfully, Jessica made it! It’s sad though that Joshua was eliminated after receiving the least number of votes. Hopefully, Steve Tyler (AI’s judge and Aerosmith’s lead singer) would be right since he told Jessica: ““You’ll be the last one standing here. I believe that.” Let’s all pray for that and support our fellow Filipino.
Mabuhay ka Jessica!
