Phillip Phillips may have been crowned the winner of American Idol earlier this week, but the Jessica Sanchez fever continues in the Philippines and all over the world. We at Female Network are also excited about what will come next for the Filipino-Mexican singer, but before that happens, we'd like to take one last look at her performances over the past season and rave about our favorite BB Chez--as Jessica has christened her fun-loving alterego--song renditions!
Scroll through the pages to see our top 10 Jessica Sanchez performances. Do you agree with our ranking? Which song would top your own personal list? Let us know in a comment!
10. "I DON'T WANNA MISS A THING" by Aerosmith
None other than Aerosmith's Steven Tyler gave Jessica a standing ovation for this performance.
9. "STUTTERING" by Jazmine Sullivan
Her rendition of this not-too-well-known song earned Jessica the lowest amount of votes the week she performed it, forcing the judges to use their one save of the season, but for us, it was one of her most memorable performances.
8. "IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE" by Buddy Holly
Not everyone might have sat up and taken notice of this performance, but we sure did! Jessica was a force to be reckoned with in this group performance.
7. "SWEET DREAMS" by Beyonce
Jessica took Beyonce's song and made it her own by turning it into a ballad.
6. "I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING FOR ME" by Aretha Franklin and George Michael
We loved hearing Jessica trade high notes with fellow belter Joshua Ledet in this fiery duet!
5. "EVERYBODY HAS A DREAM" by Billy Joel
We couldn't help but be inspired by Jessica's performance of this song.
4. "THE PRAYER" by Andrea Bocelli
As Jennifer Lopez loves saying, "I got goosies!" America first took notice of Jessica after she gave this passionate performance of "The Prayer" for the final judgment. This sealed the deal for the judges and landed her a spot in the top 13.
3. "I HAVE NOTHING" by Whitney Houston
Jessica really did justice to the late singer with her rendition of this iconic song at the finale.
2. "AND I'M TELLING YOU I'M NOT GOING" by Jennifer Holliday
We loved Jessica's solo performance of this, but it was her duet with original Dreamgirl Jennifer Holliday on the AI finale that really had us jumping for joy.
1. "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU" by Whitney Houston
For us, this was Jessica's first real moment on American Idol and the most significant performance she had all season. Not only did she get a standing ovation; she also reduced judge Jennifer Lopez to tears.
