Jessica Sanchez: American Idol 11 Top 42 Contestant

Since Idol loves it's recyecled contestants, season 11 has 16 year old Jessica Sanchez from San Diego, CA who appeared on America's Got Talent and had 2 sit down auditions with Warner Bros. Records' A&R department at the age of 9. She has starred in a Cricket Wireless commercial, sang the National Anthem at a San Diego Charger's game, and has 44 million YouTube views. She also already has an overzealous fan base, so expect her fans to be as obnoxious as the Lauren Alaina fans if she makes it. And like Cortez Shaw, she apparently has haters.

So what do you think of Jessica? Do you want to give her R-E-S-P-E-C-T like in the Cricket Wireless commercial or have you heard enough? We're guessing the producers are really going to push her, especially since she comes with a pre-Idol fanbase.

hmmmm ... at least there's something for Idol to push here. She's good, current and has plenty of potential at her young age.


Which doesn't gaurantee they will put her in the top 12. They will cast a group of side-stories, along with some set-up-to-fail acts - to help along the ones they are pushing.


It will be interesting to see if Idol gives the judges 1 or two saves again, to try to wrangle there own pet projects into the top 5.

I'm going to get judged for saying this, but I actually like Justin Bieber - so this isn't one of those 'lmao bieber sounds like a girl!' comments, but she sounds just like him and it's fucking creepy.

She (and the song) reminds me of Cher Lloyd for some reason. Laugh

Ramiele 2.0, a little better singer but not as cute.

A pretty talented vocalist, and she knows it. Everything about her is so incredibly manufactured it makes me want to puke. The look, the facial expressions, the body movement, all of it. She looks like she takes herself way too seriously. The kind of candidate I'd love to see making the top 12 and then being the first voted off.


When she says "Bring the beat in" in that video it makes me want to slap her through my computer.

Melisma, check.

Frog croak at low register, check.

Annoying growl, check.

Screechy diva, check.

Boring plant, check.

Overall annoying as all hell, check.


Throw in a sob story, and maybe some Jesus, and she's top five for sure.

I think she's fodder.


A slightly less boring version of whatever-that-asian-girl-from-last-season-was-called.

Yes, 8-bit, that was exactly my first thought. And then it took me a good five minutes to think of Thia's name. Laugh

Me thinks she's definitely in top 24 - and very possibly top 12 or 13, however they poke-it this year.


But she's gonna have a support factor situation similar to Thia Megia, coupled with the "girl envy factor" from other young chik's who will vote for a male screamer with a mohawk or a plant that can't sing, rather than a girl their boyfriend might be lookin' at.
