Jessica Sanchez gives advice to aspiring artists

by Robert Requintina, Manila Bulletin

Jessica Sanchez

Fil-Am artist Jessica Sanchez has established her solid fan base here in the Philippines after she wowed the international market when she emerged as runner-up in the eleventh season of “American Idol” in 2012.

During a Zoom with the entertainment press, Sanchez revealed that she’s still in touch with her batch mates in “American Idol.”

“We do talk once in a while. Back then we were also young, and we were like one family. Now we’re a lot older, and that was 10 years ago? We do still get in touch. Not as often, but we still get in touch,” she said.

Asked to give advice to aspiring singers, Sanchez said: “Continue to work hard. Don’t let those struggles stop you because they will gonna come. Just keep pushing through, and you will see the change. Not only in your growth, but also in your career.”

Even when she was younger, Sanchez’s dreams were always in music. Successfully joining “American Idol” was perhaps something that Sanchez fervently aspired for more than a decade ago. “There was never anything else I wanted to do, and I made sure there were no distractions.”

“American Idol,’ that’s just so crazy to me. It all happened so fast, and I was so young then.“I feel like I couldn’t really experience it fully, mentally and emotionally. But I believe everything happens for a reason and at God’s timing. I am so grateful for all that I’ve experienced and all that I’ve done since ‘Idol.’

“I know I still have much to learn, and I’m still growing in my artistry, so I’m just excited to continue this journey.”

Recently, Sanchez released her latest, “Baddie,” which she also penned with a friend. “We were really just having fun with the song and the first lyric that came to mind was ‘You got a baddie’,” she shared.

“The song is all about being confident, knowing who you are, what you want, and your worth. Of course, there’s a little love dynamic going on, but it’s really about the confidence you carry.

“Anyone can be a baddie, but the main thing to being a baddie is embracing who you are, flaws and all, and walking into any situation with that confidence and sense of worth.

”As far as her original music is concerned, Jessica has written so many songs based on personal experiences and feelings.“I’m so excited to share who I am through my music,” she insisted.

“I can be kind of a quiet and awkward person, so it’s hard for me to express myself fully. Thank God, I have music to use as an outlet and way of expression.“You guys are definitely going to see and hear a new side of me that you haven’t heard before. I hope you guys enjoy getting a little peek into my mind and life.”

Jessica Could Go Home on "American Idol"

On Wednesday's night's American Idol (in the Philippines last night!) the finalists perormed three songs each, fighting for their spot in the final two.

Joshua Ledet, 20, was the first performer, and he got all three judges up on their feet following his strong rendition of Etta James' "I'd Rather be Blind".

Though the evening seemed like ti was Ledet's, Phillip Phillips' final performance gave Ledet a run for his money.

Jessica Sanchez, 16, was by no means lost in the crowd. Sad to say! She made herself prominent by boldly performing Aero Smith's "I don't want to miss a thing". Steven Tyler gave her a standing ovation, though he was the only one of the judges to do so.

Her other songs were both powerful and memorable.

But, who goes home? And who made the difference? We will see tonight.

Bye bye Jessica....?

Yes, I was (and I am still!) one of her fans. Filipino-Mexican-American contestant Jessica Sanchez unfortunately has slipped from the top spot on the weekly "American rankings of a U.S. magazin. In the latest "Power Rankings" of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Sanchez has fallen to the No. 3 spot after spending two weeks at the top.

Despite this Sanchez was still safe and will now join the "American Idol" tour this summer as part of the Top 10. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY expects Sanchez to bounce back after last week's stumble. I got the same opinion... .
