Jessica Sanchez is now part of the
finalists who will battle it out at the last stretch of American Idol 2012. But
will her talent and charm be enough to win America’s votes? We are yet to find
out.
Jessica Sanchez was able to reach as high as the top 2 finalists for American Idol. It’s something that other singers with Filipino blood weren’t able to reach. Jasmine Trias was able to make it up to the top 3 back in season 3 of American Idol. But Jessica Sanchez is almost close to the championship belt.
Speaking of belt, another belt worth noting
here is related to boxing. It’s coincidental that Jessica is part Filipino and
part Mexican. We all know how Filipinos and Mexicans are always head to head
when it comes to boxing titles. This fact can be both favorable and unfavorable
for her. Mexicans may vote for her because of her father but may actually
refuse to do so because of her mother. As for Filipinos, they will vote for her
despite the racial mix.
Nonetheless, both Filipinos and Mexicans
combined is still a minority in the U.S. Even her home town won’t be enough to
buy her the votes she needs. It will still be up to the entire America to decide
her fate in the AI finals.
So who will most likely win America’s vote?
We have to consider the fact that Jessica was almost eliminated during the top
6 results. She was only saved by the judges for their one season only save
option. That alone proves that she still lacks enough charm. She was never part
of the bottom 3 since then anymore at least.
It’s also notable to mention that during the
past few seasons, the winner was not the better singer. In fact, popularity
decided the winners of the past few seasons. Such was the case of winners
Scotty McCreery over Lauren Alaina, Lee DeWyze against Crystal Bowersox, and
Kris Allen over Adam Lambert. It’s a given that the winners can sing but they can’t
belt out better than their respective runner ups. The past four winners of American Idol were also male contestants. This can be attributed to the fact that most voters are female who will naturally root for male contestants, particularly good looking ones.
In one article at Sosyalan.com, a fearless
forecast says Jessica Sanchez will only be a runner up and will not win AI
season 11. Read the full article and learn about such reasons here – Fearless Forecast: Jessica Sanchez is a Runner Up.
As for me, I have no doubt that sheer
talent alone can let her woe audiences for votes. But I’m still thinking twice
if that will be enough to make her win the competition. See reasons cited
above. That’s something we are yet to learn about once the final results night
come. I’ll return to this post by then and make a follow up about why my
thoughts were right or wrong.
Whatever the case is, best of luck Jessica
Sanchez!
