Jessica Sanchez (born August 4, 1995) is an American singer from San Diego, California. She is currently a Top 2 finalist on the eleventh season of American Idol.[3] Prior to appearing on Idol, Sanchez competed in the first season of America's Got Talent at the age of 11.[4]

Early life

Jessica Sanchez was born in Chula Vista, California on August 4, 1995[citation needed] to parents Gilbert and Editha Sanchez.[5] She was raised in Eastlake, Chula Vista, along with two younger brothers.[6] Her father, a Mexican American originally from Texas, is a U.S. Navy veteran who fought in the Iraq War, served in Afghanistan and, as of April 2012[needs update], was expected to soon be deployed to Singapore.[7] Her mother is Filipino American originally from Bataan province in the Philippines.[7] Her maternal grandfather, Eddie Bugay, is a retired U.S. Navy sailor.[5] Inspired by her Roman Catholic grandmother, Sanchez carries a rosary everywhere and prays quietly before going on stage.[8][9]

She is a former student of Eastlake Middle School in Chula Vista.[10] Back in her eighth grade, her favorite subjects were science, physical education, and choir.[11] Her teacher remembers Sanchez as a humble girl, for when word spread at school that she sang the national anthem at a San Diego Chargers home game, she did not brag and preferred to stay in the background.[12] She was selected for full scholarship training at the Theater of Arts in Hollywood and is currently a homeschooled high school student in 11th grade.[6][13]

She started singing at the age of 2 and aspires to be a mainstream singer that can "belt but sing upbeat songs". Eminem and Beyonce are her favorite male and female artists, while Jennifer Hudson is her favorite American Idol contestant. Other musical influences include Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Etta James, Christina Aguilera, and Michael Jackson.[2][14][15]

Early career

Showtime at the Apollo

At the age of 10, Sanchez got a standing ovation for performing Aretha Franklin's "Respect" on Showtime at the Apollo. The host Whoopi Goldberg called her back on stage to accept a second round of applause.[15][16][17]

America's Got Talent

Sanchez competed on the first season of America's Got Talent at the age of 11. Despite a successful audition, she was not seen on the show until during the wild card round of the semi-finals when judge Brandy Norwood chose her to comeback for a chance to compete for the finals. Norwood predicted, "You’re gonna be huge, I promise," after seeing her perform "I Surrender" by Celine Dion.[5][18] The show's executive producer and former American Idol judge Simon Cowell named her "one of the best I have ever heard."[16][19]

National Football League

On September 22, 2008, Sanchez sang The Star-Spangled Banner before a San Diego Chargers versus New York Jets matchup. She got invited again to sing the national anthem on September 27, 2009 before a San Diego Chargers versus Miami Dolphins matchup.[11][16]

Single releases

In October 2009, Sanchez recorded a cover of "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna for iTunes with independent record label Spin Move Records.[20] The following spring, Sanchez recorded another single with Spin Move Records, a cover of Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind" for YouTube and exclusive download on the label's website.[21][22]

We Are the World remake

Sanchez was one of the singers in Lisa Lavie's collaboration video "We Are the World 25 for Haiti (YouTube Edition)" for charity relief for victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, along with American Idol season 10 finalist Thia Megia.[23] The video's participants were collectively recognized as "Persons of the Week" on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer on March 19, 2010.[24][25]

Overview

On July 8, 2011, Jessica auditioned for the eleventh season of American Idol in her hometown of San Diego, California.[13] Her group performance with Deandre Brackensick and Candice Glover with an updated version of Buddy Holly's "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" got a standing ovation from the three judges. Randy Jackson was astonished by Jessica's performance,[26] and her group advanced to the next round.[27] Later, she advanced to the semi-finals.[28][29]

In the semi-finals, Sanchez performed Jennifer Hudson's "Love You I Do" from the film Dreamgirls where she got the only standing ovation of the evening from the three judges. Jackson called it "one of the best of the last two nights". Jennifer Lopez stated, "the whole thing is really really so beyond your years". Steven Tyler commended her "exceptional timing" and added, "Your voice is perfect, your pitch is perfect."[30][31] She was one of the top five female vote getters that advanced to the top 13. Her rendition of "I Will Always Love You" sung on Whitney Houston night on March 7, 2012 got rave reviews with Tyler saying, "You may be the one." and a speechless Lopez called her "just amazing". Jackson responded, "You not only are the best vocal of the night, I think you are one of the best singers in this whole competition!" and named Sanchez "one of the best talents in the whole country".[32][33][34][35] CNN's HLN News Now reported that she brought the judges to their feet.[36] With the lone standing ovation of the night just as before,[34] her name became a worldwide trend on Twitter the following day.[37] When the video of the performance was uploaded to Youtube, it received five million views in three days.[38]

For her top 11 performance, Sanchez received constructive criticism from the judges for her rendition of Gloria Estefan's version of Vicki Sue Robinson's "Turn the Beat Around". Jackson said, "The problem for me was the song choice. You got the big old voice. The song does not allow you to show that". Lopez agreed, "your voice has such a strong vibrato, which is so beautiful on certain songs", while Tyler advised "you can't stray too far from what I think you sing the best which is ballads."[39][40]

On Billy Joel night, Sanchez earned another standing ovation from the judges after singing "Everybody Has a Dream". Tyler said, "When God was giving out vocal chords, you were so at the front of the line". Lopez noted, "that was a defining moment for you", while Jackson lauded it as "flawless" and "perfection".[10][41][42] The next week, Sanchez acknowledged her personal idol by singing a slow tempo of Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams". Lopez described it as a "really beautiful rendition", Tyler called it "delicious", while Jackson declared "you're one of the best singers I've heard in many years. Unbelievable. Sensational".[43][44] In the top 8 round, she introduced her alter ego, "BeBe Chez", to cover an upbeat Whitney Houston song "How Will I Know". Lopez raved about her "powerhouse vocals", while Tyler said, "Your voice is so fantastic. Everything you do is beautiful. Everything you do is great." For his part, Jackson stated, "You did an amazing job ... I can't believe the maturity in you." Her duet of George Michael and Aretha Franklin's "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" with fellow contestant Joshua Ledet got a standing ovation from the judges, prompting Jackson to declare "Two of the greatest singers to ever hit this competition ... This is one of the greatest performances I have seen on this show".[45][46][47][48]

For the top 7 Week on April 11, 2012, she sang Jazmine Sullivan's "Stuttering" to which, Jackson declared, "you set the bar really high ... That was superb. That was at the highest degree". Tyler affirmed, "every time I hear you sing, I forget where I am", with Lopez commenting, "you have, probably more than anybody, an amazing opportunity to really take this American Idol audience on a ride like they've never been" and urged her to go for impactful performances. The following night revealed that she received the lowest number of votes leaving the judges stunned while the audience erupted in disapproval. She began to sing Deborah Cox's "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here", when Lopez ran on stage and cut her off mid-performance. The three judges declared on stage that they are unanimous in using their one-time "Judges' Save", a veto that was introduced beginning in the eighth season. A visibly upset Jackson chided, "This girl is one of the best singers in America, ever ... Please everybody, please vote for the best. It's about finding the best."[6][49][50][51][52] This made her the first female[53] and the fourth finalist in American Idol history spared from elimination.

For the second week of top 7, Sanchez pleased the judges with her take on Alicia Keys’ "Fallin'". "Your talent is so other worldly. I don’t even know if you know how good you really are and how great you can even be," Jackson remarked. "With talent like yours, you have the right to get mad at a song. That was the passion that you released," was Tyler's response. Lopez concurred, "I’m glad you’re still here and we had a save and used it on you." Her rendition of Otis Redding’s "Try a Little Tenderness" left Lopez critiquing, "The vocal ability is so great, that we need to start connecting with you here [heart]. Just the voice is not gonna do it". Tyler noted, "I like that fact that you’re stepping out. It's all about stepping out and winning these people's hearts". Jackson echoed similar comment saying, "Where you should grow now is really just in connecting with the emotion with the lyrics."[54][55][56]

On Queen night, Sanchez performed Bohemian Rhapsody. Tyler opined that rock music is not her forte. Still, he remarked, "Freddie Mercury would have been proud to hear that." Lopez agreed that the vocal was beautiful but "needed a bit more of that rock performance". "You hit the high notes, you sounded beautiful," said Jackson but he wanted her to channel a little Tina Turner. Her rendition of Luther Vandross' Dance with My Father earned rave reviews. "The tenderness, the feeling, your vocal ability, everything. The feeling, more than anything, is what makes me say that it was the most beautiful I've ever heard it," Lopez gushed. "Your voice is so different than anybody else is. It kind of touches on Whitney," Tyler enthused and added it was a joy and honor to watch her evolve on the show. Jackson thought it was beyond reproach saying, "Now you got that feeling in there, and that's what was always a little bit missing for me. But now, you're making that connection."[57][58]

After the conclusion of the top 4, she is the last surviving female contestant in the Idol competition.[citation needed] Sanchez has received six unanimous standing ovations for her competitive performances from the judges, four from solo performances, one for group performance, and one for a duet. She also received a partial standing ovation on Top 3 performance show (from Steven Tyler. This made her one of the front-runners in the competition. [32][36][41][26][48]

On Top 3 Performance, Jessica Sanchez sung three songs, My All by Mariah Carey (Lopez's choice), I'll be There by Jackson 5, Iovine's choice, and her own choice song I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith which she has received standing ovation from the smash artist Steven Tyler.[citation needed]

The 16-year-old half-Mexican, half-Filipina contestant took on Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," and slayed the song. "You just took a great song and made it greater," raved judge Steven Tyler. "Thank you Diane Warren for writing that for me and for getting her to sing it as well as you did...beautiful."[citation needed]

Judge Jennifer Lopez also loved the performance, saying: "That was amazing.That note in the end! Oh, wow. Sends everybody into the heavens. Really, really great job, baby!" And Judge Randy Jackson said, "I was waiting on a big moment and dude, you delivered man."[citation needed]

Earlier in the night, Sanchez delivered an equally beautiful performance of Mariah Carey's "My All," that prompted Steven Tyler to predict she'll win the whole competition. "When you sing, you make people hang on your every note," Tyler said following the understated performance. "I hope you get used to encores. And on another crazy note, I think you'll be the last person standing there," he said.[citation needed]

And as if it wasn't ambitious enough taking on Mariah and Aerosmith, Sanchez also performed the classic Jackson 5 song, "I'll Be There."[citation needed] "Perfect song, perfect voice, you nailed it, delicious," Steven Tyler said, while judge Jennifer Lopez raved, "It was perfect for the tone in your voice. You almost sounded like Michael."[citation needed] However, only judge Randy Jackson didn't like the performance, saying, "Once again, we're at the end here, and you're on the stage with all these other dynamic singers. There was never a moment moment."[citation needed]
