It's a shame that people have grown so accustomed to flimsy voiced young women, whose nasally mixes pass for belting and whose meandering pointless runs define "control", that they no longer appreciate a person who sings with guts, grit and soul. It's amazing when you think about the legends who wouldn't exist if they came out today. Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight...the list goes on. Ms. Holiday transformed the world of musical theatre forever. Miss Sanchez has a terrific voice, I hope she gets with the right team and makes a big mark in the industry.
I would just say, the wonderful thing about the world is that we are all entitled to our opinions and our own musical tastes. It makes the world a colorful exciting place to live.
@ RamajX....You unknowingly stated the same as I have said in the past about others. It feels so good to know that other people feel the same as I do. I wish so much that good music with great performers will return again before I leave this world. I am sure that young talented people like Jessica Sanchez and Charice Pampengco will be amoung those who will be sucessful. They are the proof that if you have talent and believe in your self you can move forward to be a great inspiration for others.
Jason Ng I see what you did there. I wholeheartedly agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I believe just as strongly that the statement "we are all entitled to our opinion" is the last resort of a person who feels compelled to speak but is too intimidated by critical thought to say something of intellectual value. It is overused. Everyone has an opinion. I happen to believe that it is our responsibility to use our analytical skills and create well informed opinions. Of course, that is just my opinion.
RamajX I dont need to agrue with someone about personal musical tastes who obviously thinks they are of superior intellect..... my opinion is just that....my own opinion, the only person it needs to matter to is myself and those I love and care for... anyone else well they dont much matter in my world just as I dont in theirs. Music is something very versatile in rl and who is he or who am I or who are you to tell anyone their opinion of what they life is right or wrong . If everyone in the world only liked a certain type of music or if every man only liked red heads...... the world would be a f*cked up place .
This is the most amazing performance of the night. Singing along side the legendary Jennifer Holiday and not get swallowed up in whole says how enormous her talent is. She is not defeated. She can walk off that stage with her head held high. She is young and her voice is versatile. She can sing the "phonebook". She has a very bright future ahead of her.
amazingggg!!. people don't understand holidays facials . shes theatrical put everything into it not jus vocals but the notes might sound crazy but she has so much control over them . man shes great
I am blown right out of my seat every time I watch this--- IMO the best duet/performance in Idol history. Jessica was ROBBED of the title, but it doesn't matter because she pissed on that stage and left her forever mark right there next to the legendary Miss Holliday!!!! BRAVO!
I remember seeing this and thinking omg she could've let Jessica had the spot light, but now I realize that she was teaching her how to sing Better and use her voice more
Her facial,expression is not only the result of her personnal feelings but both a technical way to carry the sound (like opera singers do) and you must add the Broadway technique of exagerating facial expressions (theather + singing) on stage
Jennifer Holliday’s voice and performance is just unbelievable!!! She makes Jessica feel bad. And just to make things clear, Jessica Sanchez did an amazing job. She should win this season.
I absolutely loved this performance they both did an amazing job! I tip my hat to Jennifer Holliday one of the best vocalists I've ever heard! Great job ladies.
I can never get though this performance without laughing omg lol Jennifer Holiday couldn't let her have the spotlight could she? damn lol looking like she wanted to devour Jessica
God bless jessica for this great gift of talent given to her...and in His time she will be His instrument through this...undeniably not a coincidence for her very young age reaching this achievement already...!!!
omg that moment when i hold my breath and try to listen and understand why GOD give them that wonderful voices ohh my Jessica Sanchez i love you JENNIFER HOLIDAY you are a history ohh my i cant uhhhh i cant understand what i feel when i am listening to them ..... | #goJESSICASANCHEZ #JENNIFERHOLLIDAYYOURSOOAWESOME

I keep on watching this video and keep praising Jessica Sanchez for a wonderful job. I never have seen any artists for the past few years dared to do a duet number with Jennifer Holiday. just this sweet 16 girl name Jessica Sanchez showed not only bravery, but singing prowess at its finest!
