Absolutely not. if you want America to be the deciding factor, then let us do our job. No more karaoke singers. Bad call judges.

absolutely!

Yes by no means she is an absolutely fantastic singer whose votes are being stolen by a predominantly redneck voting fanbase still crazy about the honkytonk winners from last years competition. Its time for anoter minority win with great talent. enough of white trash rocker wannabes.

What song did she just sing

Whoa. was not expecting this! jessica must get her game on really fast if she wants to win this thing! :)

Glad that they saved her. She even deserves to win this thing!

I think the way the Judges reacted was totally disrespectful to the voters and to the other contestants. This is why everyone thinks the show is fixed and why the ratings have dropped. let america pick.. thats the way it is made out to be.. Very bad call Judges . you made yourself look like spoiled little brats

To call her a karaoke singer displays your complete ignorance. At any age she is an amazing singer but to sing and perform like she does at age 16 is BEYOND AMAZING.

It’s American idol. Not “select few who think they understand music” idol.

Do yourself a favor and have your ears checked! Those other remaining contestants are copy cats and dont even have stage presence. They only get to stay because you voted for them for one stupid reason, they are pure americans. Errr…racist much?

I think it’s time for AI to revamp the voting system

I think you just like trolling for comments. Have another beer and some pork rinds.

25% fan vote and each 3 judge get 25%…….because fans should realized that they have to vote for talent….it’s not a beauty contest…….that’s why judges knew Jessica’s potential as future professional singer.

She is the best on the show this season and deserves to win it all!!!

Jessica is not the only decent singer in this competition, they need to treat everyone equal. I have lost all respect of American Idol after what happened tonight!

I love Philip and Elise because they are natural performers and bring something different to the stage…especially. enjoy their vocals when they sing together. They should start a group together. Awesome artists…can sing anything and play instruments and write songs….the true all-around performers.

Rather than blast America’s voters, I wonder if this was just a ploy by FOX to get more people to vote? ie, “”See America, this is what happens when you take a night off from voting.”. Since votes equal dollars for FOX, this seems like a possible explination IMHO.

american idol is fixed.

the judges did the right thing!!!! Look, I dont like her, but even I think she deserves to and can win this thing. You saw how mad they all were. Jennifer couldnt even wait until the end of the song, she ran up there and screamed how crazy it was!!!!

Nothing would surprise me. The so called “reality” shows are anything but reality. I find it really disturbing how things are manipulated in an effort to alter our perceptions.

HAHAHA, you must be an old person. I bet you can’t even hear! Karaoke singer? Seriously, you’re just plain dumb. Why are you calling her a karaoke singer? She’s not singing from a karaoke studio with the words right in front of her! Heck, she’s even better than a “karaoke” singer! Seriously, get your ears check and stop trolling TROLL. And heck, people like you are the ones who put singers that needs to be edited and the ones that lip-synch.

heck i wish she would win. to be honest, even though she’s such an amazing singer, i don’t really think that she’s going to win, yeah she does have a chance, but it’s such a small chance of her winning this whole thing… :(

agreed!

I don’t see why everyone is playing the racist card. Really, people hardly care if someone isn’t white anymore, and most aren’t bothered to watch an singing competion. Really, I think most of the problem is gender based. Females vote for the cute males while males vote for the pretty females. Simple as that.

But, I digress. There are actually those that vote due to the voice and talent of the singer. Shocker, right? Anyway, I don’t like Jessica. Just don’t really like her voice, not my type of music. However, regardless, I can see why she was in the bottom three today. She simply messed up on her performance the night before. She was pitchy, and the judges weren’t paying enough attention. Not saying she didn’t deserve to be saved. I would have hated if the judges had saved Elise. But still, it was kind of upsetting when Steven stated flat out that they would save any of the three, regardless. As well as the judges rushing onstage before Jessica was finished singing. Idiots.

Honestly, I’m just hoping that the top three will be Colton, Phillip, and Skylar. I don’t really care who the judges seem to “love”. It’s about the voters anyhow and who America wants to win. Not a biased judge.

yea you tell that dude

even though she wont win she will be more popular and get more recording contracts….look at jennifer hudson….pls open your ears and eyes…..

what do you mean absolutely not? no wonder jessica, josh and elise landed at the bottom 3! if all of america is like you – tone deaf, and all you look at are the looks, then i guess these 3 will lose! those 3 were the best performers last night! the bottom 3 should have been holly, skylar and philip! i love philip but his performance last night wasn’t that great! but jessica, josh and elise stood out, with coltton! you must be deaf!

…. But popularity IS a defining factor of the show. That’s how votes are cast, on who your favorite singers are. And while I admit there are quite a few that vote because someone is “cute”, that can be just as easily said for Jessica. And she was in the bottom three exactly because her performance did not meet the voter’s standards. She’s been good in other songs, I suppsose, but her last performance really didn’t cut it.

I think she’ll make it big when she gets into her adult years, but for now, there are others on the show that greatly surpass her, both voice and performance wise. She doesn’t deserve to win, no. But I think she’ll have a big enough fan base where she’ll be able to get her name known, especially when older. She just doesn’t have “it” right now.

She has a good voice but dresses inappropriately for a 16 yr old american idol. Needs a younger and more stylish haircut, youthful clothes and ditch the 5″ heels. Song choice was not as good as some in the past.

You got that right!

dude…. her fart sounds better than your singing voice….

The judges are making it so obvious that this is fixed after all. They are becoming very rude. Randy was so snobbish. The other contestants might as well go home now. The judges are deciding

if one of the remaining contestants (except hollie) is eliminated for sure they will use the “save”…

Gen was right, females vote for the cute males while males vote for the pretty females. Simple as that.

What is important at this stage is the exposure Jessica Sanchez received. She may not win the American Idol due to the inappropriate voting system, but honest critics appreciate her talents and she will definitely excel as a singer far better than the eventual winner (if she failed to get it).

I am sure the name Jessica Sanchez will be remembered in next decade to come – knowing that she’s only 16 years old. At very young age, she handled the outcome very maturely…. I am sure this experience will help her career.

When the judges declined to use their only ‘save’ vote in previous week, I immediately thought that inspite of Jessica’s popularity, said vote is retained for Jessica because of the biased voting method.

God Bless you…. Jessica…….just keep in mind the unconditional love of your parents….. and the appreciation of your honest admirers.

Agree. I would never buy ticket to see jessica on consert. I love to listen to elisa she is Alive, different, have cool voice and big caracter. To watch the three musketeers run to save j.s because she sang so badly felt so wrong and they for sure got BiG minus because of that.
Im sure that Computers can easily fix any voice so it sounds like j.s. People are getting tierd of this computer fixed perfect vocals. I want to be sure, that the person im listen to is alive.. .

I agree that the way the judges reacted was obviously childish… But america has also made a mistake.. Never underestimate a person just because he/she is different.. Karaoke singer? Obviously you dont pay attention to the praises she recieves.she is just as good as any other singer in america.. No one wins. Both sides have obviously made a crude mistake… You k stand are a racist… If you troll this then its obvious you just proved that you are an arrogant and pathetic little fool..
Like what Heejun said ‘I’ll prove to them that i will be the first asian american idol”. Why is there something wrong with your idols being from a foreign land? give others a chance u fucking racist.

DEAR AMERICAN IDOL PRODUCERS/ PEOPLE,

Do you not want an asian to win?! -____- like seriously?
No asian has won american idol and its obvious that JESSICA SANCHEZ sings real good.
She is amazinggg!!
I see no fault as to why she must leave, everytime she performs she gives it her all so why?!

how is it disrespectful to the voters and other contestants?….american idol is a contest searching for great talent and its too bad if voters can’t see it

People were too confident the good ones will stay so they cast their votes to save those obvious losers and the results overkilled It. The rule of the game allows one unanimous save from the judges so they were doing their job too.

Why are people being racist against Jessica. So if she was a white girl she wud be popular? What the hell Talent does not have anything to do with their race. And those trolling on Jessica what can you do? Obviously ud put some really dumb stuff proving.

..Win or Lose…Jessica Sanchez is a winner already…!!!…I don’t expect her to win in AI..simply because she’s not an American….period…..

no ‘prejudism’ is still very much around.. just read the news…how sad…

Sometimes it’s the people that don’t win (Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert etc.) that end up doing better then the people that actually win. This could have actually helped her career in the long run.

last night episode lake a short film, they did for increase their ratings, just a another TV show.
any way
Jessica will win this .

The headline makes no sense…..obviously not a fan favorite if she was voted last by the fans.

Jessica is singing LIVE in front of LIVE audience……what “computer fixed perfect vocals” you are talking about?..and did you just mentioned ” perfect vocals” eh??

It’s a bunch of teeny bopper girls from the burbs and country voting for the guys they think are cute and the girls they’d most want to be friends with. The talent this year is far and away better than past years, but the quality of voting is still low.

how dare you say that, why can you even be half good as she is? The problem with people like you is you simply don’t know how to differentiate good singing with a good song choice probably because you only listen to cheap music

Jessica won’t win in the AI but she will most definitely overshadow whoever gets the title!

Don’t need another Beyonce or Whitney??? Listen to yourself. You are comparing Jessica to 2 great singers. That is why she should stay. Yes, people will go to her concert. Seriously, how many 16 year old singers out there can perform and have a stage presence, and SING like Jessica.

I think that she will not win the American idol… Because she is not pure American… She only lives here in America… Still Asian. They would not vote for her, though she got a good voice… She needs to realized that she have to be like by others…

Hello Herb Provincial Government of La Union

American Idol is not the show to watch if their voting system does not serve its purpose. If this is a singing competition then why do they have poor winners for the past 4 years, remember Chris Allen who sang poorly? Adam Lambert who has the talent and personality losses but Lee Dewyze, another poor talent won whom was never heard of after the show, this sucks!

I agree with you. Some singer who does not win by vote, can sometimes become more successful than the winner. If they really have the talent, they still can succeed. This happens with Charise Pempengco. She did not win the vote, came out 3rd, but she was guessed at Oprah’s most talented kids. Now is known worldwide and performed with many great singers.

Jessica Sanchez deserves to win!

I have watched all of them and honestly only Joshua seems to be closer to Jessica’s caliber, this news of Jessica getting the lowest vote after fantastic and remarkable performances she gave out time after time, is stupid.

This is a theory and trust me in TV industry this is very common.

A. American Audience who have not recognized the talent of this young lady seems to be forgetting what is the real meaning of superb quality /talent is all about. they got so used to crappy talents with big boobs, nice butt and hunk face…very superficial

B. The show is Pre conditioning the minds of the viewer with the information that she gets lowest votes, it is a wise move for fox because if they stirred in a different direction and let other less talented contestant win it would be easy for them to initiate and explain that “hey the America have spoken, they dont want her to be their Idol” seriously??!! If America really caters to a talent this girl is what AMERICAN IDOL is ALL ABOUT!

C. Or simply American Audience who did not vote for her and voted for other less talented contestant seems to be just plain racist… why?! because Jessica is not PURE AMERICAN by blood??!! C’mon She is American by Birth, She and the family lived all their lives in America and His Dad even give his Service to US Navy, in risk of loosing his life as well as their families sacrifice when deployed in Iraq to think that He is Mexican , isn’t that enough proof that She and her Family are more American and for America compare to any American by blood??? Please think! Or else next time the Network should specify their search for contestant

JESSICA SANCHEZ DESERVES TO WIN AMERICAN IDOL!

American Idol should not accept Asian talents during auditions if racial discrimination will be the deciding factor by American voters, especially if this Talented Asian sings better than any pure-blooded American singer wannabes.

Jessica Sanchez is best and have the VOICE, Give these Young lady change so far she doing a great job. She has the talent. I give the judges alot of credit for keeping her in. So American watch out for Jessica Sanchez we woke her up and came with fire

Jessica Sanchez doesn’t have the “It” factor, meaning she isn’t white. Lol.

I don’t want to sound like a bigot, but it is a matter of fact that america isn’t prepared yet to vote for an Amerasian Idol, even if they have all the talent in the world to win it.

The world will never change its prejudices, it will always be there, not even if you change your nationality. Unless, you have the moolah to have your skin tone changed or might as well have your entire feature changed. hehehe.

Seriously, as good as a singer Jeissica Sanchez is and it shows. She will never be an American Idol, it’s all about love your own. And in AI’s case, vote your own. Asians are just a miniscule part of the american society to save Jessica Sanchez’s dream of becoming the next American Idol. Unless there really are no prejudices at all in America. Sad but true.

K Stand–If she is a Karaoke singer to you, then what do you call the other singers she is obviously so much better and talented than the others.

yes, Jessica is very talented & could possibly win, but i’ve heard lots of singers like her. i like singers that are unique, like Elise. however the way the judges reacted was absolutely appalling. It showed blatant favoritism and was sort of a slap in the face to the other contestants. I knew as soon as they announced Jess was eliminated they would save her. If it was any other contestant they would have sent them packing. It should be solely up to America who goes home, not biased judges. & when Randy said “vote for the best” it showed who the judges favor even more.

it is riddance you idiot!!!! Typical white American who is so poor in spelling!!!

I don’t think she will win although she is definitely the most versatile and talented, because American Idol is more of a “popularity contest” than a real talent show. While Jessica can rest on her laurels and wow you endless powerful ballads, she has decided to diversify her song choices with both ballads, upbeat, and jazzy tunes to show what an immense talent she really has. No other contestant in Idol history has done that…

The best singers never win AI – that is a fact. However, Jessica is destined to be a LEGEND (as Akon said). She is only 16 and she is already beyond amazing!!!

Eat your hearts out – she is guaranteed to be a legend in the music industry.

obviously they are all good….especially being chosen among thousands…..Jessica’s got an amazing voice, just like all of them too…what she is great at is technique and how she can harness her voice and make it great….scripted or not……favoritism, maybe….but so far Joshua’s the nearest competiiotn based on voice and showmanship which we’ve all seen weekly….

btw in the Phils, wev’e got a lot of Jessica’s and maybe even better….

if she is karaoke singer , then
Celine Dion,Whitney Houston,Lee Ann Rimes all are karaoke singers!!!

grow up dude..

Jake…ummm another racist jerk? She was born and raised in San Diego,Ca that don’t make her an American because she is not white? Only pure Americans are the American Idians. enough said..

PEOPLE!!! This was all set up to boost ratings! The producers went up to the contestants and asked them if they would all go along with this if they can all return another week. This is a typical “hollywood” antic just to create controversy to add some drama to the show. If you can’t see that, then you definately watch way too much TV. :)

Not a beauty contest as well idiot!

I think America was afraid of someone like Adam. they picked someone mainstream and boring, just like they have for the past few seasons.

Yeah that performance was shaky by all three….but for you to say not another Whitney or Beyonce ate you serious. When you have Phil Phillips trying to be a mixture of Dave Matthews, Jon Mayer and Johnny Lang( and for the record he had the worst performance last night) people still have to remember this is a singing contest not a popularity contest and Jimmy Iovine had it correct when he said the bottom three should have been Elise, Holly and Phil Phillips. Black,Asian, Indian, White whatever the best Singer should win not the most popular because if that was the case Sanjyaya would have won

Its fixed…their ratings were low they kept one person who’s been in the bottom 3 last week to throw ppl off so they had me think elise was leaving, they needed to use their save to up ratings that’s why they put the two best singers in the bottom 3 jessica is the best singer in this competion and whether she wins it or not I’m so gonna cop her album. She is amazing, gives me chills each time I hear her voice she is outstanding for her age. Truthfully I think that kid coltons gonna win…whom I can’t stand bc he’s the idol that lil boys look up to he’s on teeny bopper status…I’m all for jessica and josh they r the two best in the competion!

I would go to her concert and buy her album, she was overwhelmed, if you were in the situation that you may be voted out and you are to sing, and you feel like crying would you be able to pull through smoothly? maybe you wont be able to carry a tune.

And besides it may be that she does not have polished controlled voice as according to you ( who do you know has in the AI?) it can still be developed SHE IS ONLY 16 okay…. practically a teenager.

Yepp all the so called Americans/country singers were saved! Come on now! How ridiculous!

Nope. I’m, quite frankly, surprised that both Hollie and Elise are still there. When it comes down to it, I do believe that Hollie and Elise should have been the ones in trouble of leaving before Jessica. That doesn’t stop the fact that she was having a problem with the song the night before.

And really, America is a country with vast amounts of people, of different tastes. We can’t all like the same thing, so “talent” is different for each individual. Really, I find it amusing that so many people are pissed off at this. She was SAVED. She’s not going anyhwhere, until next week. It’s not racist. It’s about finding the best voice, and the best performer.

Wake up! Do you even understand what you just said. Jessica sang it perfectly! Clean ur damn ears! :)

better have your medical check-up

Hey, blame A.I. Wardrobe coordinator… they dress the talents…

“there are others on the show that greatly surpass her, both voice and performance wise.” MY QUESTION TO YOU : WHO?

JAKE DE ASS , YOU ARE WHAT YOUR NAME IS A F….G A HOLE. I WISH I COULD MEET YOU SO I CAN SHOVE YOUR A..,S UP YOUR NOSE!

Why does everything have to be brought down to the level of racism? She deserved to be saved on her voice alone. To me Jessica is just meh. She has a beautiful voice but her performances while very good voice wise are boring. She will get better as she matures. She’s still learning people! This is MY opinion and it has absolutely nothing to with her race. I would still feel this way if she were purple, striped or polka dotted. It doesn’t matter what her race, gender, sexual orientation, politics, etc. is/are. Making it about race demeans her and everyone else. Move on people. We have far greater things to worry about than this.

Is it jessica’s fault if her voice is similar to other singers…..Grow-up…One thing is for sure, All haters of Jessica not hate Jessica bcoz of her voice its just an alibi its bcoz she’s Asian, The judges are not racist, they’llgo for the true talent…

Winning American Idol or not, Jessica will move on beyond this a winner on her own because she got real talent. When voting becomes a factor in a big talent show, three Ps override talent: Politics. Prejudice. Popularity.

It’s about time an Asian wins. Fil-Ams always landed on the top 10 even top 3 but was always voted out because of their race not because they lack the talent. A1 voters please give credit where credit is due.

k-stand oh i see, k stands for karaoke, or maybe k stands for kulangot(booger)

Colton, Phillip, Skylar, and even Joshua. Elise and Hollie are below Jessica, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking that Jessica is behind the other four when it comes down to it.

That’s why there are judges like that Gen to save talents who deserved it or else… As you have obviously seen the minorities will not be given a fair chance at all!! How do u expect us to respect the ” American votes” that visibly reflect how u feel towards Asian becoming an Idol!

Just ask yourself what would you have done if you were a judge. it was a clear injustice and the rule says they have one save. The judges did their job tonight I say.

WHITE GUYS WITH GUITARS WILL ALWAYS WIN…SORRY LADIES BUT GUYS ARE BETTER IN SINGING

Pagdating sa talent at trabahao walang tatalo sa Pinoy! kung sa utak mo ang pagaganahin at talento dmo tatalunin ang pinoy, moon rover invention kanino? dba pinoy na mechanical engr? kamaganak kyo ni Mayweather! racist! umalis ka sa amerika, sinisira mo bansa! ung ibang mga amerikano bilib sa pinoy..! Ikaw K Stand mang mang ka wala kang alam, may pera ka nga maayos ka pumorma pero wala kang utak! kita mo nga ung judges bilib sa kanya….ikaw ano ka?…..

A chorus of boos could be heard when it was revealed Sanchez would be the singer facing elimination.

Problem is that she’s boring and sings boring songs. It is not coincidence that she was last this week. Joshua has been able to put a couple of good songs and he’s already acting like the diva he is. People notice this things and votes accordingly. Oh but it is a singing competition… nope is a popularity contest, usually the best idols are not good singers, just adequate singers with a ton of personality and presence in the stage. That’s is what makes and idol and that’s what people vote.

Completely agree with you kstand. For the first time in a long time America voted right. Look Jessica has no voice! She sounds like a wannabe britney spears singer. And wtf about it being a race thing like that doesn’t even make sense. She’s arrogant and ignorant to the fact that it is a competition. I hope next week she finally gets voted out for good. There is better singers on the show that actually deserve to win. Come on people get with it and actually open your ears to her horrible voice!

I have to disagree. I wouldn’t buy not even a song of her in itunes. She’s boring, simple as that. As you can see in this week’s results, there are much more people that agree with me on that.

No. People should vote for the singer they like the most. For you may be Jessica, but for others may be somebody else. It is a beautiful thing to have a choice.

That is pure BS. Just because we don’t like the same thing you do we are ignorant? Please, think about what you are saying. If we don’t think like you do, then we must be ignorant or racists. No, we just like different things. Nothing wrong with that.

Jake de ass h…. Are you you speaking on behalf of all Americans?You racist shit.Don’t brand Americans as racist.

A chorus of boos could be heard when it was revealed San

Say that to the judges who saved Jessica…
Wow, you say horrible voice? Those judges must be crazy and deaf!

A chorus of boos could be heard when it was revealed Sanchez would be the singer facing elimination.

She’ll probably be going home next week and nobody will be able to save her. Boo hoo! Can’t wait!

She is totally overrated. If she was so great, she’d be famous, considering she supposedly has already put out some music before. Obviously, nobody bought it cuz she ain’t all that!

This is so lame! She won’t win because she is not the best singer. You can dream all you want. You are only voting for her because you are probably Filipino and all Filipinos vote for Filipino/Filipina contestants simply because they are of the same ethnicity. So don’t even try to say that it’s a race thing because the people of your country only vote for their own kind.

Well, all she sings is R&B type songs and not a huge majority of the population likes that kind of music. Plus all she sings are ballads and that is totally BORING! She also has a totally BLAH personality and an over-inflated ego.

Only Filipinos will buy her music – get real!

Most of these pro-Jessica comments are coming only from Filipinos. Funny how they always cry racism, yet they only vote for their own kind! Such a bunch of hypocrites!

And like I said before, only Filipinos will buy her music, so she won’t be that popular.

Actually, it was a chorus of cheers! Too bad they wasted the save on her. Oh well, she’ll most likely be gone next week anyway.

Amen… Only the minorities know who the pure Americans are. Jake are one of those who failed in the American History.

And what is wrong with that ? Why are you so mad with the Filipinos ? .I have read all the comments here and none are mentioning and accusing the Filipinos apart from yourself. Grow up.. Let the Filipinos be proud of her.

Now the truth is revealed… You don’t like Jessica because deep down inside you know how good she is and you feel threatened for the contestant you like.

@k stand > it opnly shows that most american like you are ignorant ass holes..!!! ha ha ha..i pity you…this dusky filipina will be eating all othet 6 american idol hopefulls this coming weeks…!!!

America now has gone awry in music. look, a lot of music artists now don’t care about singing vocally but singing with a lot of gimmicks. compare this music period to those in the 60s and 80s, classic songs, classic artists…. now i just don’t know. what happened was that this became a war among the number of relatives and friends and the capability to raise votes(perhaps money and technology) for their bet. in short, it becomes a showcase of how many you are in your family tree, the consanguinity and affinity thing. it becomes more personal than rational judgment of the talent.

I can’t vote from Australia but what the hell is going on when one of the best voices ever plus the second favourite are in the bottom 3 America get your serious heads on & vote for the best

That show was totally rigged and set up that way to create drama and ratings. They had to get Jlo and her fat ass on the stage

Then why in the world did AI even let asians join? I mean if there gonna start a new season they might as well add the no asians rule.. What are u thinking? Your gonna let an asian join that has amazing singing abilities and then leave that person for dead later.. Talk about cruelty… Also its because of this is that good singers like her and JAMES didnt end up winning… (not to mention both of them didnt even go into the bottom) And us racists?? Yeah we may seem like racists but we are just supporting her.. Since when was the last time the Philippines gained fame like this? I wont be surprised if shes gone next week. Since all u americans are gonna OBVIOUSLY let her rot.. And FYI we also vote for other nationalities.. (when there isnt someone related to us…) Peggy why do u hate filipinos? Because we are the least-disciplined? Because we are what then?? U of all people have no respect for us.. Racist…..

Sorry but you couldn’t be more wrong. Jessica is usually spot on with her vocals and her stage presence is second to none. The vast majority of American are not voting for talent, they are voting for who they like (and much of that is based upon “looks”).

And with all of Jessica’s talent there isn’t a hint of ego. The minute she stops singing she reverts to a quite and shy little girl. I think I love that quality most of all. When she is singing she owns the stage and owns the moment and when the music stops she becomes a little girl again.

Like I said many posts before….it doesn’t matter if she wins AI she is a future star. The judges see it and know it, Jimmy sees it and knows it and all the star singers they bring in to work with the kids see it and know it.

Yeah the people of Philippines never gained this much fame till u showed up with that mouth of urs.. Let em be happy and proud of themselves. It was a long time before they had a taste of fame such as this.

Hmm…it could have all been planned for ratings sake. Some of you may not agree that she has the best voice on AI but nonetheless she did not deserve to be voted out. She is still better than most of the singers on that show.

Ellen Degeneres herself attested in her twitter account that she believes that the best singers are from the Philippines. It’s disappointing to know that the voters look on the contestants’ race to consider them worthy to become the “American Idol” winner. I suggest you guys look on the talent. TALENT. The title is useless if you don’t have Talent. I know that this is more on popularity, but don’t you think it’s about time, time to give Asians or other races the chance to prove their worth not just in America but in the whole world, as well. I think we should give the title and credit to the one who deserve it most and definitely, JESSICA! And let’s open our ears to the world of R&B. JESSICA for the WIN.

Everyone has there type of music that they like. But i do think the most votes are from the younger generation, and they vote by popularity rather than how good they really sing. the last group here are all good singers, and each have a very different way to sing. It is hard to choose.
But i have never heard ANY ONE in my life sound like whitney huston as when jessica sings. man she can really sing those high notes, without a crack.
I think the last three years, the ones that won on america idol should of been the runner ups instead. It usually is the person that doesn;t win goes on to be a singing star anyway. Look at that guy that won a couple years ago,can;t remember his name, but he was against the good looking rocker that dressed all funky and wore the dark makeup. I think he should of won! the other guy never got in to anything but some car commericals, whoopie!

Are the judges filipinos? And they like her. Pls use your common sense.

I think all of the contestants are talented, and I like them all. I do not like the fact that the judges have any input in the voting process (such as a save) once the voting starts. America should make the decisions by their votes. I don’t care what color, race, or gender the winner is. Just let the process be fair. The judges did not act professionally and unbiased last night. It is not who they saved, it how they acted doing it. I think this is my last season watching American Idol.

in tune- j lo gets it right every week. jessica has the voice to win this thing. she can sing anything if you ask me!- that lil body can bench out those big notes and shes consistent every week!- i think she has a STRONG shot at winnin this thing along with skylar or colton!- the judges use their save based upon who they think CAN WIN.. not who they think MIGHT win- regardless- i get goosies everytime that girl sings. i like skylar b/c of her heart & soul & energy she brings to the stage.. i like jessica b/c of her overall persona & talent she has! -GOOD CALL JUDGES!!!

I disagree Hollies is the worst and her personality on stage is drab. I don’t know why she is still there. Jessica is a star win or lose she is gonna be around for decades.

You might want to check your facts. Jennifer Hudson is absolutely not the only AI winner who has won a Grammy. (music) She is, however, the only one to win an Oscar. (acting)

Again don’t you even think right? Look at the comments here and check how many are pro JS and how many are not. The answer is so obvious as it seems only 5-6 persons here are the anti. And your talking about not being famous.

Not a fan of Jessica, but that doesn’t even matter. I’m disgusted with they way the judges so more than critique the singers which is what they should be doing….NOT persuading America to vote THEIR way. The judges have talent and experience, but that doesn’t mean all of America magically needs to agree with them. We all have our own opinions. Isn’t that what the judging process is about?

Come on …. go to EENT and have an eye check up if nothing is wrong on ur earns!

k stand, you’re such an asshole! really

Put some new batteries in your hearing aid, because Jessica is definitely one of the best AI singers. Guess I need to start voting!!

It’s just that Filipino singers are better and more talented compared to the Americans’. And Americans could not accept that mere fact! Even though how good she is compared to the other contestants. They don’t wan’t a Half Filipina singer like Jessica to win the said show! In short, they were simply RACIST! They don’t judge based on performance, talent, and star quality a contestant possess, but they based their judging on looks, contestant’s nationality, or whatsoever. This was not the “show” was all about. It is about finding the best singers in America. It’s about finding a person who has that “star quality”. The complete package. It is about finding the BEST in america (american born citizen or not – it doesn’t matter).

You’re an asshole. Period. End of story.

I think Jessica is the best singer in the competition so far. Crowned or not,she’ll be huge. When she gets voted out, everyone blame it on race, polling system, the show rating, voters, teen girls, and most ridiculous, thinks that the other group is the real bottom 3.The judges didnt even let her finish singing as in real competition. Saving her is good decision,but at least.make her completing the task first,singing for her life. Give her credit pls! If everyone believes she’s that good,no worry…she can be out and still make a major record deal.Why trashing other things? In real life shit happens all d time.If Jessica is going to be huge,she must earn it. It’s up to her not others. Success can be real smooth for some,but messy for some others

It isn’t American Idol, it is CONFEDERATE IDOL—yoooooowweeeeeeeeee! The black guy, the Jersey goil and the filipina from San Diego were all superior to the other four by any standard…but they don’t have a daddy that owns a pawn shop and don’t brag about their ability to fire weapons and just aren’t “down-home” enough for the majority of the viewers. Last year the best contestant was an Italian girl from Queens: she never had a chance because she didn’t talk with a twang and bray endlessly about how she missed her hick town….WHy would anyone who is a minority or hails from a state that actually backed Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War ever watch this show again?

then again, Jessica was the only thing consistent in that show, week-on-week delivering stellar rendition.

you had me at your profile name LOL.

Nice insights, i sure hope this’ll drive Jessica to belt out and go for some crazy notes hereon out.

This was a good call judges!!!!!!!!

hey dude. for your info… most filipinos are good singers.

You idiot K stand. Go to HELL

Fully agree,
Billy Joel gave her much respect for a great performance of his “Everybody has a dream” track.

all i can say keep it up ate jess! break a leg. show them what you’ve got..<3 GOD see's your talent and give it to HIM.

I doubt any record producer will agree with you. Even Jimmy who hears and sees real talent knows JS talent.

Of the 7 contestant she has the only one with the almost perfect control over the tone of her voice.

I didn’t like how the judges did the save.. It was rude and made me as a voter feel my vote didn’t count and if I was a contestant feel I was just okay.. She’s not MY favorite nor do I think she is the BEST singer.. YES, Jessica was well worth the save.. and yes, Jessica is a power house.. If she is the bottom three? Then why doesn’t she deserve to be there?? As some of you put she didn’t DESERVE to be there.. OUR VOTES put her there! Next week I will do as I always do and vote for MY favorite and not what RANDY expects or told us to do..

I agree – judges should not have a saved

i wonder whatever happened to taylor hicks,lol

Think about it…if they win not body remembers them and they don’t get records sale. If they lose..they become grammy winners and oscar winners….people she is not the best in American just on American Idol.

Right the best on this show….I don’t think she is the best in American…Randy please!

Why do that with retarded dumasses like you to decide on who is good and who is NOT.. Your ears are TONE DEAF.!!!..

This is prejudice, but not in the way you think. We all know that, on this show, the majority of the voters are teenage girls who are voting for cute boys regardless of vocal talent, (Which is why Colton will probably win, which he doesn’t deserve considering his competition, but anyway) until the top 5 when the rest of the voters start to outnumber the little girls. The problem with that is, any confident, talented female is in danger because girls LOVE to rip each other apart. Like Ani DiFranco said:

“and god help you if you are an ugly girl
close too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a phoenix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back”

That is why, in my opinion, Jennifer Hudson, Kellie Pickler, Allison Iraheta, and Pia Toscano were all voted off early when there were clearly singers who were not as good as they were left in the competition.

Girls are just mean to each other.

He said one of the best in America, not the best.

I need to save what happened yesterday for my grand children. Shame to them

You are sick, those that are sitting down cannot sing. the black boy and Jessica makes people interesting in that show. If one of these two did not win, I will not buy their record again!!!!!!!!!

At least there’s nothing wrong with being gay. But there’s a million things wrong about being a prick.

If I have no taste, then the thousands of other country fans must not have any taste either.

Grow up.

what a stupid unitelligable response. Race, race, race has nothing to do with it. It is people’s preferences as to what they like to hear and obviously if it was the kkk then Elise would not have been in the bottom 3, give the race card a break. Realize that it is because this is how people voted on who was most pleasing to their ears, NOT the color of their skin. so sick of it.

You’ve been hanging around too much at the Karaoke Bar and must be drunk too as you can’t tell what a good singer is. Did you master in drinking? If so, keep drinking and listen to your Karaoke singers and when you hear great singers like Jessica Sanchez, turn off your TV and let us enjoy her tunes. You are a professional nut case!

Being a good singer and performer means a lot, youve also to have appeal and charisma, dont think jessica has, bit mousy looking for a celeb, although a good singer and performer, as was skylars performance, dont really rate colton, bit contrived, as is joshua, ironic that phillip is a good singer performer with the most appeal, and charisma, but might lose out due to being too typical all american boy, whereas adam lambert lost out due to being not typical enough though best singer performer, ridiculous how polatics and race always come into it, same in the uk, weve had black, and white singers win, as in the usa, its down to talent,
and popularity with the public. Many great black singers past and present, but doesnt give them a divine right to win all the time, anymore than it does white one,s. l think for judges to over rule the public vote, paid for, and in such a damming way shows they dont trust public opinion of majority,
and presumably theyre the one,s buying records, at the end of the hype and political posturing the public will decide who,s successful whether they win or not.

It was not a bad call for the judges. They have 1 save to use and they used it. The judges were just not satisfied of the result because they know that Jessica has talent…or shall i say MAJOR TALENT. I just wish that america can give Jessica a chance to win because whatever song u give her…she can definitely deliver.

people, people….don’t you know a publicity stunt ? Exactly what it was !! All planned (staged) to create more drama for their favorite !

the judges were right to save Jessica. They would have done the same thing if it was Joshua It was not disrespectful to any other contestants at all. They would have probably used their one (1) save on anyone or lose it after next week. So now there are no more saves—whoever is low next week is gone. She has a fabulous voice and tremendous soul…I wouldn’t want her to be jumping all over the stage which I guess Jennifer wants her to act like Joshua. It’s just not her.I hope people are not disliking her because she’s an American of Filipino/Mexican decent. I know all the young girls are voting for the good looking guys and they do most of the voting. If you love Jessica and her great voice, you have to vote for her

remember that America is America now because of talents contributed by black, yellow and brown skins but brown skin I would say are more of a beauty and you can find great voices that can compete with anybody in this world of music.

Your Right..Your Powerful Jessica..We love you.!!!

Jessica Sanchez is one of the Best Singers in AI history and it is sad because she is also the Total Package. This is sad because Jessica only tries to do her best each and every performance. People are not blind. It is not just the judges who say that Jessica is good. It is not just Jimmy who thinks that. It’s also all the famous guest mentors and all the other artists who tweet and say about it. It mostly all polls, Jessica has not only zoomed to the top but she’s ahead in twice or 3 times more or even 4 or 5 times more than the next competitor. The people are not blind or deaf, they know that she’s not only good but one of the Best Artists out there right now and it’s sad because the only thing that she’s not is that:

1. SHE IS NOT A MALE
2. SHE IS NOT WHITE

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS STILL RACISM IN AMERICA IN 2012 AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS STILL SEXISM IN AMERICA IN 2012….SO SAD!!!

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SCENARIOS THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED:
1. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE KNEW THAT THERE WAS “ONE SAVE” STILL IN EFFECT AND THEY KNEW THAT HOLLIE WAS IN THE CHOPPING BOARD AND PHILLIP HAD ALSO A LACKLUSTER PERFORMANCE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND SO, THEY KNEW THAT JESSICA AND JOSHUA HAD THE BEST PERFORMANCE THE NIGHT BEFORE SO PEOPLE ASSUMED THAT THESE TWO WERE GOING TO BE SAFE AND SO, PEOPLE DECIDED TO HELP OUT HOLLIE AND PHILLIP IN VOTING MORE FOR THEM.
2. THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VOTING BECAUSE I KEPT VOTING FOR JESSICA AND IT WAS ALWAYS BUSY FOR TWO HOURS STRAIGHT…..I ONLY HAD APPROX 50 VOTES THAT GOT IN.
3. THESE COULD BE A PUBLICITY STUNT BY AMERICAN IDOL BECAUSE FIRSTLY, IF YOU WENT TO THE SIGHT, THERE WERE THREADS THAT ASKED WHY WAS THE RATINGS OF AI GOING DOWN? THERE WERE ALSO THREADS THAT ASKED HOW COME THERE ARE NO MORE SHOCKING EVENTS IN AI…STATING THAT AI IS GETTING TO BE BORING. SIDE NOTE ON THIS: ( OBVIOUSLY THESE PEOPLE WHO ASKED THESE QUESTIONS WERE THE ONES AGAINST THE FRONTRUNNERS OF THE SHOW ). SECONDLY, WHY DID NIGEL KNOW RIGHT AWAY ABOUT THE RESULTS AND HE WARNED PEOPLE THAT THERE WILL BE SHOCKING EVENT….WAS THIS TO BOOST THE RATINGS? THIRDLY, THE WAY THEY DID THE EVENT WAS KINDA STAGED SOMEHOW FROM THE BEGINNING TO END. THE WAY RYAN TOLD HOLLIE AND JESSICA TO SEPARATE INTO TWO GROUPS AND TO HOW SKYLAR HAD TO CHOOSE WHERE TO GO AND CHOOSE WHO WAS THE GROUP THAT WAS SAFE AND WHO WAS NOT…IT’S KINDA FISHY! ALSO, IF YOU GO BACK, RYAN ASKED RANDY IF HE STANDS BY WHAT HE SAYS OF JESSICA’S PERFORMANCE FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND RANDY SAID YEAH, LOOKING BACK TO HOW JESSICA SANG STUTTERING LIKE THAT, YEAH, I STAND BY WHAT I SAID….THAT WAS ALREADY KINDA A SETUP TO WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN…IT SEEMS LIKE THEY KNEW ALREADY JESSICA WAS GOING TO WIND UP LEAVING….THIS SEEMS LIKE A PUBLICITY STUNT IN A WAY. IN MOSTLY ALL THE POLLS, JESSICA IS WAY AHEAD….IT’S KINDA HARD TO BELIEVE SHE GOING TO BE IN THE BOTTOM 3 AND LET ALONE LEAVING THAT NIGHT.

The judges were very rude to the other contestants and to all of America! It looks like the majority is right whether the judges agree or not! I am not a singer but I know what I like or don’t like. Who’s to say my opinion and my enjoyment of a song is wrong. I don’t especially like when they do runs which is supposed to be a great thing for a singer to do according to the judges. I enjoy a song when the words are clear and the music soothing and uplifiting. When the words are unclear and they walk around alot or move around too much it ruins the song. Overcoming all of this is part of the game not only hitting perfect pitch.

KARAOKE SINGER? So I think we can call Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Paul McArtney As KARAOKE SINGERS.

jessica wow if i were to judge id save her many many times… not that she needs saving but some people can never see talent im not even pure filipino but i see and hear what her soul was trying to accomplish…. they should not limit other peoples capability of wanting to rise and grab their dream also its not about the race its about the way she is staying humble even if she was the best!

Wake up America, its not about the appearance of that person. Its all about the “TALENT”.
Judges were just wise finding the best -_-

your such a hater…

If I was a judge, I would have behaved more professionally.! I would not have announced about using the save before the results were shared. I would not have rushed the stage, & I would not have called America, “Crazy!” like JLo! That was WRONG and I will now support my favorites even more vigorously!

Shut up!

sanchez is houston and like imitator. she should be gone. oh, such nice voice, but boring voice. no character. would you recognize her voice on the radio? heck no. what kind of idol does america want? noone this year seems unique enough for idol.

jessica is boring!!!!!!!! close your eyes and listen. she is boootrrring

she is not amazing.. oh so she is 16, does not make her amazing. an american idol needs a distinct voice and image. if i heard her on the radio i would turn channel as her voice is not unique or satisfying. she can sing but singing abilitly–pitch and tecnique cannot and does not make a singer. she has no originality what so ever.

aaah that is what is so wrong with jessica! who needs another celine dion, houston,. enough of that boring garbage. jessica is boring. she might sing on pitch but pitch is not what makes an idol. her voice has no distinction or character.

holly is so much better than jessica.
jessica is drab boring, tries too hard and fails little girl. she is putting on role of old aunt of something. not idle material.

Hey. Remember she doesn’t pick the songs… The judges do… And hey she’s only 16. And can u sing better than her??? Huh??? Rude much??

Well, it is American Idol. Whoever in America can be an AI regardless of ethnic origin. Because America is not just for white people. America won’t survive if no Latinos or Asians working with them. Because white people are lazy and all they want is to be on top, so the only asses they have is mouth!

Funny. Some people here pretend to be competent enough to be a judge. C’mon, you are not Simon Cowell or Paula Abdul! Randy, Jennifer and Steve are all competent judges. They did the right thing!

Who are you supporting? Now I understand hahahahaha.

You must be blind and deaf and totally in love….with a blond white girl…..reallllly??? do you really believe that Holly is better than……get serious dude. NO WAY is Holly better than Jessica….white, black, brown, red or green.

dude..u suck

she is amazing singer i will give her that but she acts like she is some amazing thing and claims she has worked hard she is like 15 bull crap people have worked so much harder then you have ever have you are only 15 you do not know anything so stfu. she needs to get a additude check.

I feel Jessica lacks star quality and personality..may be thats why she got the least votes.

All the other contenders are the karaoke singers. Jessica has a unique voice and she has a swag.

I think Randy is so true in saying that Jessica is one of the best singer in america! EVER! as steven tyler added.. I think a lot of us americans today are deaf. Voting for the contenders because of their good looks is ridiculous.

Cannot agree with you more. Her tone is 2 similar to the Mariah’s, Whitney’s. When I close my eyes, she can be at least be 1 of 5 other singers. Talented yes, but nothing special. I think Elise and Joshua have special qualities and should be in the final 3.

American audience are very good in criticizing others (esp Asians) y???? It’s because they are invaded by Asians…… Y??? Cause they don’t go to school ….. the top jobs are being taken by Asians ….. that is how we compare quality …. (Yet they claim they are powerful) sad…. it only boils down to something…… PRIDE! (America has a lot of PRIDE but can they survive poverty??? unlike the people from 5rd world countries??? ( I bet not they need a shrink to do that).

I don’t know what you’re saying, Jessica isn’t a Karaoke singer, she’s got a PAREXCELLENT voice I hope you know what the word means. Unless you have a degree in Music, and can sing and play an instrument and an artist then keep your negative comments to yourself.

I agree with K stand. it makes me sick how the judges give this girl standing ovations, saying she’s the best singer ever, come on!!! what’s wrong with Holly? she sings like christina and they don’t give her anything, all they do is criticize her, she has a strong voice. I see how the judges are trying to persuade the audience to vote who they want to win. It’s sickening!!!!!!

To be honest i dont think she really deserved the save because she didnt even sing half of the song and it wouldnt be fair for the other contestants

You need to get out of the bar more and listen to real singers then and you would know how great she is. I think racism had a lot to do with her and joshua’s low votes. This is why judges reserve the right to over rule public opinion as the public is often without class when it comes to talent.

Ahhhh!…the truth comes out. She has success so jealousy raises its ugly head. Along with a sprinkle of racism.

Hmmm..you mean she is steriotyped like you here?????????…difference is…that 16 year old kid already has recordings on the go and a future…what do you have,…ahhh!..yes….your couch, 175 channels, a beer, a fat gut, and a bad attitude with little sleep. Your jealous man,….admit it, you never even been out with a girl never less a girl with a future lol

enough said to paint you racist.

now you see why everyone here thinks you obviously think you talking to someone who gives a shit about your opinion hahaha

latinos…48%, african american…3%, white…18%, asians and rest make up11% of population. The whites are now the minority and lost their grip on governing even lol. How did they keep that minority government so long. ?? Times have changed teachers. This girl is of mexican father and fily mother born in america, that makes her a more important majority as she is in fact latin american. means she is worth more than the sad commentries from etnic minorities in here.

she’s mexican…….mexican father, fily mother born in america. Actually, that just makes her american by my book lol

she makes singing look so much easier than all the others. So she does not wear skin tight jeans and crouch around like she wants to take a dump while pulling faces and screaming or trying to touch the audiences hands. Last time I saw that was at the zoo lol

that must explain why singers in america are shit. Obviously, when a contestant, like joshua, developes confidence as the judges demand, they become divas to you, so you dump on them. Loosers picked by loosers who dont even know the rules of the competition or the values of why they sing lol

The kid has charisma.

yeah…why do you need real singers when your mentality can only handle tattooed, spike headed, gay mofo, spray painted jeans, crouching like taking a dump snarling white singers. You keep buying your shit punks and leave AI to people with taste lol

You know…after all this shit, there is the truth to your lie……she can sing, but that doesnt mean she is memorable. When i listen to a person sing, i then listen to the next song. NO drama. If its a bad song, who cares. Next!!…but not you, your here spreading discord for an obviously talented singer. You give a fuck? Why? Are you paid to be a pain in Jessicas ass, or are you just an asshole. Its obvious she is memorable to you, becase your still here asshole. Makes everything you said in here a lie or pure hate. Racist pig.

Hollie is a trier. An attractive trier. But cant rely on looks to win, thats why they have mixed judges lol.

Who cares what nationality she is. she is a fantastic singer and a sweet girl. I find it sad how the judges try to sway public opinions with their reactions to the performances. Josh is great too, but I find it annoying that they show favortism to him over Jessica. Citising her choice of outfits (which probably wasn’t her choice anyway) is pretty shallow). One week she is critizied for bing child like and the next week she is too mature???? Kind of off the wall. Jennifer are you maybe a little jealous????

Oops, I was told he had the nany goat teat for forst 12 months lol

SEEM TO ME IT IS THE REVERSE….IT IS THE WHITES WHO INVADE THE NATIVE AMERIAN COUNTRY AND THE ASIAN COUNTRIES AND ENSLAVED THEM AND STOLE THEIR RICHES.
