Only two months after Jessica Sanchez won first runner-up in the 11th season of the top-rated reality talent search program, “American Idol,” the 16-year old Filipino-Mexican sweetheart continues to make news in a very good way.
As if singing the American national anthem in the recent boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley and a locked up record deal with Interscope aren’t enough, Jessica is also slated to appear in the hit musical TV series “Glee” and is also in the running to play Kim in the long-awaited film version of “Miss Saigon.”
She’s also now happily making beautiful music with fellow Season 11 finalist, DeAndre Brackensick, whom she now calls her boyfriend.
And oh, yes, her Metro Manila fans can’t wait to see her perform with DeAndre and the other finalists of “AI 11″ in their only concert in Asia called “American Idol Live! Tour” presented by Ovation Productions this coming September 21st at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
For now, their fans are going to have the next best thing as they’re going to have the rare opportunity to bond with Jessica herself through a live Skype Session on Sunday, July 29, from 10AM onwards at the SM Megamall Event Center situated at the mall’s former ice skating rink area.
Dubbed as “The Ultimate Jessica Sanchez SKYPE Party!,” the event presented by MCA Music and Astroplus, will allow the singer to personally interact with fans using the Skype voice-over internet protocol application.
Aside from bonding with Jessica online, fans will also be treated to fun games where they can win exclusive Jessica Sanchez signed items and meet-and-greet passes to the “American Idol Live! Tour” concert.
Asia’s Acoustic Sweetheart Sabrina will also grace the event with a guest performance.
When asked about Jessica during his recent Manila stop, “American Idol” Season 7 champ David Cook has this to say.
“To hear her sing is ridiculous, she’s just really, really good and what’s scary about it is that she’s still young.”
David added that Jessica also comes across to him as sincere.
“I think in my experience with the show the last four years, I sometimes meet contestants that are very sweet and very sincere. And sometimes you meet somebody who’s maybe been through a little bit more, so they’re a little bit more professional and it’s a bit harder to kind of see the real person behind it. Jessica is definitely somebody who immediately came of as sincere to me,” he says.
The “Jessica Sanchez: American Idol Season 11 Highlights” album is also out now in CDs exclusively under MCA Music.
