    Jessica did a fantastic job!! Maybe dont hold the vibrato in the verses as long, but other than that, amazing!!! She and Hollie are the two strongest girls, but I like Hollie a little more

  • Yo

    Beyonce did do the same exact version. And Jessica being a beyonce had to have copied it from the dvd.

    she is just a new artist, do u expect her to sing a new composition… the fact that people is comparing her to beyonce, i guess it only means that she did as great as beyonce ;-)

  • Tom

    I think it sucks.

  • Anas

    She’s going to win the whole thing :)

  • deesspop

    she wont never know as the artist once knowed as prints were she? i were thinking the artist once knowed as prints were a mans? ok the artist once knowed as prints were a girly mans but he still were a mans

  • Jennifer

    Maybe. No question she is talented. I will say, however, this is the strongest season of Idol ever. I don’t think they’ve ever fielded this many amazingly talented people in the same Top 10 before. It’s going to be a horse race.

  • Angie

    Nobody can watch the video. Don’t do this to millions of viewers. Want to see again Jessica sings “Sweet Dreams”.

  • 21dpdorsey

    THANK YOU!!! That pissed me off! Beyonce clearly did that shit years ago… Now they are acting as if Jessica Sanchez had a stroke a genius and developed this herself. She did the exact versipn of Sweet Dteams” the acoustic version!

  • Rory

    Jessica Sanchez is the only singer in this batch whose voice is very flexible and can make a lot of variations…She’s a Pop Ballad Diva…

  • Mexican_filipino

    IF JESSICA, LOSe IN AMERICAN IDOL. . CLEARLY AMERICANS ARE RACIST. . OBVIOUSLY JESSICA IS WAY WAY BETTER THAN COLT GUY AND PHIL SQUARED. HATERS ARE A BUNCH OF DEAF RACIST. She didnt claim the song, but only accept praises.

  • Mexilino canfil

    Ur comment is shallow and definitely dumb. Go to school and learn english.

  • Crzmgm1963

    Jessica that’s beautiful you deserve to be american idol 2012

  • deesspop

    you a raceristical mans an you haten aginst the bounce cuz she black. it shes song an she sing it better than a mexicozian

  • http://www.facebook.com/nhan.laresma Nhan Laresma

    SO WHAT IF BEYONCE DID THE SAME SLOWED DOWN VERSION BEFORE?! THERE’S NO RULE IN AI THAT THE CONTESTANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO A VERSION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BEFORE. THE FACT REMAINS THAT JESSICA SANG IT BEAUTIFULLY.. MAYBE AS BEAUTIFUL AS HOW BEYONCE DID IT. AND SO WHAT IF JLO DIDN’T KNOW THAT BEYONCE ALREADY DID IT ON ONE OF HER TOURS. JLO IS ALSO A MUSIC ICON AND SHE IS DEFINITELY NOT REQUIRED TO FOLLOW ALL OF THE OTHER ARTISTS’ TOURS AND CONCERTS SO SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT NOT TO KNOW IT! SO SHUT UP PEOPLE AND DON’T TAKE AWAY THE CREDIT FROM JESSICA JUST BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T DO AN ORIGINAL!!!

    I laughed out loud when I read “new version” of Sweet Dreams then clicked on the video. Uh.. this is the EXACT version Beyonce sang at the EMA’s in 2009 AND during her I AM.. BETTER THAN U WORLD TOUR. The only thing changed was Jessica not being able to handle some of those notes and bypassing them. She did a good job but let’s not give credit where it’s not due.

  • Anonymous

    UH NO…it means she sang it the exact same way as Beyonce but she did not do as great as her. LOL cut it out

  • Anonymous

    If she could sing it better than Beyonce she would have sang ALL the notes and not the ones she could HIT.

    LOL but if it helps you get through life… I guess….

  • Anonymous

    The POINT was.. its not a NEW VERSION. AND J Low knew because she watched the EMA’s.

    *blank stare*

  • Chechecole007

    so what she’s following her dream and so what if there saying she made her own ! it’s there mustache not hers lets not penalize the little girl gosh people!

    good that Jessica got saved by the judges, because if she was voted off, im never gonna watch American Idol again evaaar!AMERICAN VOTERS voting only the ones that look good but dont even have much talent that Jessica has!

  • Maddollz3009

    pls…. go read your comment over & over &over again…..you do not make sense….

  • ALDREN RODRIGUEZ

    you know guys the point is how jessica delivered it.. if its good or not.. Jessica Sanchez is a better performer than others… whether its not a new version or not but she stills sing beautifully.. unlike others.. Not the version ok if it is new version then she not delivered well what u should say the old version should be good? think guys before you say negative about jessica… think well.

  • Aldren Rodriguez

    I Know you guys your want your fellow american to win.. but think when you vote your fellow american because she/ he is american think it well… vote for the person who have talent..

  • Aldren Rodriguez

    when you vote your fellow american then wins who has not talented unlike jessica… my gosh think well… if you vote a fellow american that has no talent and vote because they are americans not because of talent my gosh.. think well

  • Hbentonii

    we can’t wait to see more singing by jessica sanchez……we were captivated by her singing voice…..

  • Kevinphommavong

    You know what. Its not about ALL the notes. dumbass . they cant sing full songs because it takes up time. Idiot. Get your facts straight. Its not like Beyonce can sing “I will always love you” Whitney Houston. Jessica Did!
