Best of Jessica Sanchez on ‘American Idol’ finale performance

Filipino-American Jessica Sanchez, who was ousted but saved by American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez in the eleventh season of the show, took center stage Thursday night in a memorable comeback performance along with former Idol winners.

Lopez is one of the American Idol judges who saved Jessica Sanchez after she was voted off competition in 2012 by online viewers of the popular TV show. Sanchez finished the season as runner-up to Philip Philips, who bagged the eleventh season crown.

In the final episode of the show, Trent Harmon, a 25-year-old waiter from Mississippi, was voted the last winner of the long-running musical TV series which produced great musical performers in the industry.

Sanchez was widely applauded after her finale performance as celebrities and fans have taken to Twitter to praise Sanchez for her excellent rendition.

After her rendezvous with American Idol, Sanchez became even more popular when she started guesting on leading talk shows on TV including a series of roles on Glee, a popular TV show in the US.

Before her stint on Glee, Sanchez was invited to grace the Democratic National Convention held at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Sanchez’s popularity soared to new heights when she performed the US and Philippine National Anthems on several occasions.

Sanchez has also performed at the opening of the NBA finals featuring Miami Heat and Oklahoma Thunder.

In Las Vegas, she graced the Pacquiao-Bradley fight in 2012 with her rendition of the National Anthem before some 15,000 live audience at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and the millions of boxing fans from around the world watching the telecast from the U.S.

After her rendition of Celine Dion’s masterpiece, Sanchez got praises from music lovers to push her record ranking on iTunes Top 200 singles chart at 166 spot. Sanchez recorded “The Prayer” in 2011.

Sanchez is set to do her Australian and New Zealand concert tour starting next month.
