Jessica Sanchez is IN the Finale of American Idol

Joshua Ledet is out! Jessica Sanchez made it to the finale! It is now between her and Phillip Phillips. Jessica Sanchez was born in Chula Vista, California and I know in my heart, she got the support from this place. Her parents Gilbert and Editha Sanchez must be proud of her.

Her father, a Mexican American originally from Texas, is a U.S. Navy veteran who fought in the Iraq War and served in Afghanistan. Jessica Sanchez visited the US Navy in her hometown and by looking at that crowd, I know they voted for Jessica Sanchez. No wonder she made it!

Her mother is a Filipino American from Bataan province in the Philippines. And, all of us Filipinos are united to help Jessica Sanchez realize her dreams. Did you know that Jessica Sanchez was selected for full scholarship training at the Theater of arts in Hollywood? She is currently a home schooled high school student in 11th grade. Education is very important for this angel.

Way to go Jessica! WOW them all in your last performance! May God bless you!

For those of you who haven't heard Jessica Sanchez version of the song "And I Am Telling You", here it is:



And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know

There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me, oh ooh mm mm
You're gonna love me

And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind

And time and time, we've had so much to see and
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning and finding that there's nobody there

Darling there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way

Please don't go away from me
Stay with me stay with me
Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold me

Please stay and hold me, Mr. Man,
Try it mister, try it mister
I know, I know, I know you can

Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout like you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers, push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will

And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I could ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
Oh, I'm not living without you,
Not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me

You're gonna love me, yes you are
Ooh ooh love me, ooh ooh ooh love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me

You're gonna love me

Lauren Alaina

The pride of the State of Georgia, Lauren Alaina is one of the Finalists vying for American Idol 2011. She will turn 17 on November, a cheerleader and a sophomore student at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.

When she visited her hometown in Georgia, she was heart broken to see the tornado damage of Rossville last April 27, 2011. Here, she was crying because she recalled her memories of a school where she had some activities before. She was sobbing and I for one was amazed to see how a beautiful place turned into rubbles of wood. I was touched by her compassion which undoubtedly so real!
Honestly? I voted for her many times during the casting of votes for top 3. I was so glad that she was in and I hope she will win.

American Idol 2011: Final Three

This is the 10th Season of American Idol and Lauren Alaina is one of the TOP 3. Lauren is a sophomore student at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. She is a Cheerleader and will turn 17 on Nov.8. When she auditioned, she sang "Like We Never Loved at All" by Faith Hill. It was noted only one time that she was in the bottom three.Did you know that he is a Puerto Rican descent? His father was born in Puerto Rico with a Puerto Rican mom and an American Father. At 10, he learns to play the guitar and impersonate Elvis Presley. On his audition, he sang "Your Man" by Josh Turner and "Put Some Drive in Your Country" by Travis Tritt. My personal favorite which he sang was: "For Once in My Life" by Stevie Wonder.
Haley was born on September 9 and started singing at 8 years old. Her parents are both musicians and she has performed at the 2009 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland with her high school's jazz band and at Harper College with the college's Jazz Ensemble and the Jazz Lab. Music fills her life so, there is no wonder why she lasted this long. She is so talented and she has the charm that's why the viewing voters supported her dearly.

This week they will come back to their hometown to personally thank their supporters. The question is: Who among them will be the American Idol 2011 ultimate winner? I don't have personal favorite this season. But, I will keep watching and will let you my wild guess this week:-)
