MANILA, Philippines – Filipino-Mexican contestant Jessica Sanchez continues to make waves on the hit reality talent search “American Idol.”
Sanchez received a standing ovation from the "Idol" judges yet again as she performed her own version of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” on Wednesday (Thursday morning in Manila).
Judge Randy Jackson said it is but right to “give it all” for Sanchez, whom he raves to be “one of the best singers of this whole competition.”
“Jessica Sanchez is legit. Let me tell you something. This is one of the hardest songs in the world to sing. You not only are the best vocal of the night, I think you are one of the best singers of this whole competition. Oh my God,” Jackson said.
Judge Jennifer Lopez, on the other hand, was left speechless and had nothing much to say but praises for the 16-year old singer.
“Just just amazing. I don’t even know what to say. I’m speechless. I’m speechless when you did those last three little things, we were right there with you,” she said.
“I think you were even surprised that you were sobbing. I was like, oh my God! That was when I felt Whitney. Oh my God yes! It was beautiful Jessica! You are so talented. God bless you,” Lopez added.
Judge Steven Tyler for his part said Sanchez “just made 40 million people cry.”
Even "Idol" alumnus Jennifer Hudson, who sang “I Will Always Love You” during the tribute to Houston at this year's Grammy Awards, posted a positive tweet about Sanchez’s performance.
Aside from Sanchez, the judges also gave rave reviews for Hollie Cavanagh, Joshua Ledet, Erika Van Pelt and Phillip Phillips.
