Jessica Sanchez is still my Idol

THE AMERICAN Idol Season 11 is the most popular reality talent search, at least for Filipinos all over the world. What with 16-year old Jessica Sanchez in the show whose mother has roots in Bataan, the Philippines. Oh, well, more than her Filipino blood, we love her because of her great talent.

Although it was Phillip Phillips who earned the votes of the American viewers, I still believe that Jessica Sanchez has won the world. As they say, it's the Middle America that dictates the vote and that they'd always the cute white guy with a guitar.

Born to Mexican and Filipino parents, Jessica Sanchez has earned the support of Mexican and Filipino communities. It's funny though that Mexicans and Filipinos have been long time boxing championship rivals. This time, they are united to make Jessica Sanchez the American Idol.

During the American Idol Finale, Jessica Sanchez performed the song And I am Telling You with Jennifer Holiday, which sent a wave of goosebumps all over the planet. For that same song, Jessica earned a standing ovation during the Top 4 performance night.

Congratulations to Phillip Phillips! Job well done, Jessica Sanchez!
