Jessica Sanchez (the save)

Wow. Those judges know real talent. Thank you!

[@juancarlosferrer4322]

They made a greatest decision!!!!!

[@crafty4u]

I loved when JLo said, "Give me that mic. This is crazy!!" And meanwhile Jennifer remained focus and so humble. What an amazing young lady. To this day I can't believe she wasn't the winner!!!! So sad.

[@jessebaptiste26]

This is the only season of American idol I've watched entirely. Such amazing talent.

I could really say the Top 7 was crazy good! All of them can win.

I love how humble Jessica is. Even after her "I Will Always Love You" performance, she was amazed with herself, and in awe of how she did that. And now, when Jennifer grabbed the mic, she didn't even know that she was being saved. She was like, "Is this like, a super elimination?"

[@mhaiesna8407]

i still cry..heheh.. i missed jessica being on idol stage. i was always excited every night of her performance..

[@TeachingHands_2018]

I feel this situation of saving Jessica sanchez , some other contestants didn't like her and wanted her out from it. Some contestants faces give a bad and embarrassing look when she was saved. Skylar and Hollie specially.

[@vavegakirkpatrick1081]

@@TeachingHands_2018 I think they were all just shocked she was in the bottom. They didn't know how to react, but knew Jessica was going to be saved. Everyone got along behind the scenes and cared for each other.

I don't give a shit If anyone deserved a save Jessica Sanchez did, she has been singing and making singing videos sing she was a kid, she deserves the career wither talent.

[@griffin1638]

Those who didnt vote for her were racists. I love you Jessica and the three judges here. Four of you are truly great for doing this ❤️❤️❤️

[@azzz7279]

don’t make this about race. If they just don’t like her that doesn’t mean they are racist maybe her music isn’t their cup of tea. Jessica was talented but the judges pimped her hard and they threw everyone else under the bus. It’s like they wanted her to win they said “this girl is one of the best singers in the world” they were basically implying that people should just vote for Jessica. I have a hard time believing she actually got the lowest amount of votes here and this was just for publicity so no one else would get the save

American Idol XI should've come down to Joshua Ledet and Jessica Sanchez.

[@davidhill8565]

Bill Wallace TPTB wanted Phillip (who should've have made the top 7) to win while the people wanted Jessica to win. The competition was rigged in Phillip's favor. The top four singers of all time on American Idol are Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet, Kelly Clarkson, and Haley Reinhart. Scotty McCreery and Phillip Phillips are false winners. The former was all fanbase no talent. The latter relied on TPTB backing.

singer out of all the singers on the 2016 AGT; and as it was in the American Idol 2012 that
Jessica Sanchez was by far the best singer out all of the singers by far; the judges did the right thing in saving Jessica. America don't seam to know anything about talent they are probably one of the worst in the world.
