Jessica Sanchezdid not Make it as American Idol

Oh well, maybe this is Thalia's way of thanking us Pinoys and of course- we have some mixed blood as well. Oh gosh, Thalia is the only celebrity that really caught my interests.

That's good news for Jessica and her fans. That just means they'll be seeing more of her after the contest. But, LetranKnight, it can't be the reason why Jessica didn't win. Of course, its the votes that count. So, Phillip just simply had more votes from the American community. How many votes was Jessica behind?

because if she had won the crown, motolla won't be able to handle her much instead it would be interscope. so, i really owned her on this one. that is a long time win win for me i think. the title means nothing if your going to have a decade of stardom. it's a BIG PLUS when thalia was considered a Jessica sanchez fan calling her a Mexicinata FIlipino =D. No, you don't get it. most idol winners don't go far after the first album. albert told me that the record holders let go of the winners on the second album. unlike Jessica who is now inder motolla would have huge mentorship and a fame of a life time, just like Jennifer lopez, Thalia, Maria, Destiny's CHild and many more. i am glad i heard the other good long term NEWS than this title.

Yeah, her duet with Jennifer Holiday was awesome! She held it out on her own and was not a bit intimidated by Jennifer. She really is one big bundle of talent in a pint size body.

Yes, to us , she's the winner, Jaiho! And blunge, yes that duet with Jennifer Hoilday is really a nice one. She sang as nice as Jennifer Holiday.

Yeah, I believe that she is still going to make it big because of her amazing talent! I remember Idol contestants who did not get the title but have topped the billboards -- the likes of Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson, David Archuleta and Chris Daughtry. Go, go, go, Jessica you are still a winner!

And oh, let us not forget Adam Lambert!

I don't think Jessica won't be handled well if she wins the title. I've heard from a mylotter that winning the crown isn't exciting as you think. Phillip Phillips will have a limited contract w/ interscope while Jessica has sign in with Motola who will have handle her well and skyrocket her career. i got a good feeling Jessica is on the way now. therefore, she's the winner in the Long run. oh, yeah am thankful for thalia for this.

Hahaha... same thing here. We want to think of that way that Americans are racist but of course; if they do are; then they wouldn't allow someone like Jessica make it in the first place. It's has just being fair to me as from the way I've seen it. (LOL, my coworkers did even bullied me as I listened- yes, listened and not watch in the flat screen while checking online for more posts) Well; as the show ends, I've been bullied for 2-3 hours after I proved myself right; Jessica wouldn't win due to her song of choice.

Actually, i wasn't into watching American Idol, but lately when all the news would have Jessica, i found myself also following the episodes. Well, today's performances , i didn't watch. I just watched Jessica's performance with Holiday and the announcement of who will win. But i know it will be Philip, because he's more of an American descent.

The major audience of American Idol are teenage girls,young women, housewives and cougars. They control the votes in the last 5 years. They wont support someone with ovaries.they support someone they want to marry. Also there are people in the US who are into "artist" instead of singers. people who loves artist prefers "originality" over vocals. There is no such thing as "american descent" American is not a race.its a nationality. You can also have people who are into country music and southern rock from the southern states.

you have a facebook account right? and you have relatives in the US? You can help her chart buy linking her itunes page in your facebook account. Thats is what every fan of her who cant afford to buy her itunes songs do now. make her itunes link viral. so people who can afford will buy.

I know, right?! It's funny, yet it is also so true :)

Yes! Jessica is the "Idol"!

I doubt Phillip Phillips will be a hit here in our country, but Jessica will surely be. I am so thankful for thalia for thinking really quick about giving Jessica a shot by letting his husband to handle her first album. I hope and pray that he won't let her go so that she will be a long term stardome.

Yeah its the longevity of the stardom is more important and the talent of course.That is always the scenario in the American Idol in some finale.Now,it is quite predictable whats gonna happen in the end that's why is ratings is quite lower in past seasons.

The success of their career after the contest still greatly depends on their fans. I've noticed that not too many AI stars retain their fame after winning. Probably, AI is just a craze that lasts during the contest period. And, when a new season starts, the fans' attention goes to the new contestants.

yes I saw it live. This is the 6th year in a row that a guy has one on the show it is time a girl one. Jessica would have been the first person from an ethnic back gound to win.

Yes, she could have been the first one indeed. Unfortunately, it seems that the Americans really just like contestants who are of American descent. But that's okay, because as others have responded, Jessica is being offered a singing career by a big time Mexican recording company. And besides, in our hearts she's still the winner.

So, winterose, you also like Jessica over Philip. Were you able to watch it live today?

There are certain factors. In my personal experience as an amateur; there's still this free will given for you to pick a song for a contest. There may be a mentor at the back of your singing 101 but that's should be like a guide to what song are you going to pick still. In what I'm thinking right now; it's like Jesicca was still unsure of her potential despite of making this so far. I mean she's still 16 years old and for that thinking; getting a high-pitch songs may win her over a "boring" performance of another artist. but judging by how it goes and how she justify the song (as she was also asked by Ryan Seacrest during the show) she also felt unsure. It's like "maka-kanta lang" (for the sake of singing) and bringing out her full potential of her vocals which deprives her true sense of bringing out the soul of the selected song. Admit it, most youth in the Philippines would also think of that way; belting out a certain song in a videoke without knowing and OWNING the song that they're singing. that's how magical it was for Philip even you'll find it plain and boring with the usual country approach like the others did. Owning a song and interpreting it DOES counts.

Correct i agree to to your last sentence, resy. Well, you are also correct in saying that the songs chosen for Jessica to sing is not apt for her, as J. Lo have said about her last song and for her other previous songs in the earlier episodes. Do you think it was Jessica and Philip who were choosing their songs ?

Hi there! i see what you mean. Too many girls like a guy in guitar. just like girls who like justin beiber or some other guy bands. Oh wells. It's already past. But I hope she'll be more successful than other runner-ups or first placers. Also maybe AI winner is not really meant for her. second placer is good enough. She already beat Jasmine Trias, Thia, and Ramiel already and if we compare here to them. She's already first place between Jasmine, Thia, and Ramiele. I'm okay and and happy. Watching her duet with Jennifer made me more happier than worrying about her losing to AI crown. Also Jessica did say she's happy that Philips won and that win or lose, they are all winners. :D Jordin Sparks also won AI from a previous season , i think she's one of the successful people there is. If there's another AI show, I do hope they allow Jessica to sing or perform on the show or other seasons.. David cook was there peforming on season 11 when he won on season 7. I'm happy then. :D

Yes, until now we are still sad that Jessica didn't make it as AI. As it is obvious, Jessica no matter how a good singer she is will not win, because those girls will obviously vote for Philips, since they find him so cute. Secondly, Jessica is not in any way , American looking. However, as Letran has previously responded , Jessica is better off 2nd placer, because she is assured of a long time singing career. It has been said & observed that those who make it as AI has a short lived singing career, because the attention of the company will be diverted to the new AI winner. If that is the case, then we should be happy Jessica wasn't the AI.

Yes, basing the winner from the text votes of the people would really not mean a really good singer. Its more of being a good looker guy. With all those teenage girls swooning on him , he really will be the winner, in addition to having the American looks.

I just hope the Filipinos will help her in ITune. Last night it was in TV patrol that Philip is no. 2 while jessica is in 147. Wow, what a great difference. Does it mean that the Filipinos are not all "can afford" or maybe just don't have an internet connection at their homes.

her fans should not be mourning now,debating with Phillip fans, complaining in facebook, youtube and twitter will not make any help. They should buy her singles at itunes or amazon and if they cant, they should at least promote her itunes links so people with money will be intrigue and buy. Filipinos can help her succeed not by claiming her as out very own but by promoting her music or buying her music,instead of crying, complaining, mourning, and being angry, her fans should help her by buying her singles. That is the true proof they really love her.

Yes, Letran have told us that, Albert, and i am glad it's that way for Jessica. At least, she will still be very happy because after all , she will have a long singing career if that is so. So you mean that they don't like women to win at American idol?

correction: with interscope records

teenage girls,housewives and cougar wants Phillip to be the father of babies. No woman had won since the last 5 years. before the text votes era women always win singing competition but people got sick of the "divas" they think its screaming, plus majority of Americans are into Autotuned singers like Ke$ha. As I said many times Girls should not join Idol.... They shouldn go to X-factor.....Simon Eliminates the cute guys before public voting.

yeah, i saw that too!

I guess, Jessica is the idol of the Filipinos and Mexicans as well. Letran's piece of news appeased my sadness that Jessica wasn't the winner. Hey have you seen the little girl who kept crying just because Jessica didn't win. She was so cute!

Yup I've seen that, and posted it on my facebook. She is a cutie and I love her So innocent;y having tantrums just because her bet didn't win and couldn't accept the results

Yes, let's just be happy that both of them have gone that far and are assured of singing careers. And i think Philip deserves the price so he can now have his kidneys taken cared of.

I agree with all that you said Ybong. I just can't help but laugh when you described Philip as needing to take a bath, because that's what i perceived him to be with all his side burns and some beard.

It's just this season that i have watched American idol because of the news about Jessica. I was hooked on it starting when she was "saved" by the judges. From then on, i was a steady watcher of AI. Unlucky, she Jessica didn't win, but that's okay since she will have a good singing career after that.

At first, i was sad that Jessica didn't win. Although, i know that Philip being more AMerican in looks will win, but still there was hope in my heart that maybe this time they will let an Asian/Mexican to win. However, seeing Letran's news about Jessica's would be career with Thalia's husband's recording company, i know that she will have a greater and longer lasting career than Philip. That was enough to appease me.

Yes, Jessica, you are still the winner for us Filipinos! I guess, the Mexicans feels the same.

Well, they are both good singers, my friend. Jessica has her own way of singing different from Philip. It's just that only one should win to be the American Idol.
