Recap – ” The Finale Night ” Results

Congratulation Jessica,

our ” World’s Idol “

Congratulation Philip Philips!

It was a “battle of the opposites” on the pre-finale of the 11th season of the  “American Idol”.  A 16-year-old girl from the West Coast, who was eliminated and saved by the judges or her opponent,  a 21-year-old guy from the East Coast. A power vocalist against a rock musician. Who do you think will win?

Jessica’s fans and supporters still praying and hoping that she will grab the title of the first Filipino-American Idol dominated by the white guys with guitars. (known as WGWG’s) If she wins the season, it would mark the first time a female contestant has won “American Idol” since Jordin Sparks captured the title in 2007.

Jessica impressed them by belting out the ballad “I Have Nothing,” ” The Prayer ” and “Change Nothing”.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————-

After much anticipation and a record setting 132 million votes from viewers, Phillip Phillips was finally announced the season 11 winner of “American Idol.” (What else, another white guy with a guitar for the fifth time in a row). So this is it —- Philip Phillips was crowned this year’s winner of “American Idol,” beating out Jessica Sanchez.

Phillips, 21, a pawn shop worker from Leesburg, Ga., looked stunned after host Ryan Seacrest announced his name, then wordlessly accepted a hug from Jessica and congratulations from his fellow finalists.

A special 2-hour event which feature performances from Rihanna, Jordin Sparks, Neil Diamond, Reba McEntire, Chaka Khan and John Fogarty. “American Idol” judges Steven Tyler, with his band Aerosmith,  Jennifer Lopez also performed and  tributes to recently deceased singers Donna Summer, a 1970s disco queen and former guest performer on “American Idol”, and Robin Gibb, a member of the 1970s disco trio The Bee Gees.

The past Idol finalists were also given a chance to sing with their favorite idols . The girl’s finalists performed with Chaka Khan while the boys performed with Neil Diamond. Joshua Ledet  performed a duet with the past American Idol winner, Fantasia. (both screamers….lol!) Skylar Laine with her idol country singer, Reba McEntire. Hollie Cavanagh shared the stage with Jordin Sparks.(wow! such an honor!)

Besides music, there was a marriage proposal for the season 11 finale: former contestants Ace Young , a season 5 finalist, and Diana DeGarmo,  a runner-up in season 3, got engaged on stage.

The highlight of the show, Jessica Sanchez performed a breathtaking  power ballad of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” with Jennifer Holliday.

Philip performed the song of Neil Diamond and he sing a duet with John Fogerty of the C.C.R.’s

Both Jessica and Philip and their respective mentors each will get their new 2013 Ford Fusion car.

Before announcing the winner, Jessica and Philip performed a duet of “Up Where We Belong” by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes.

Ryan announces … the winner is ….. PHILLIP PHILLIPS! Ryan gives him a guitar. Another male singer-songwriter is crowned. That’s five guys in a row! Which begs the question: was Jessica robbed?

Last year’s winner was Scotty McCreery, preceded by Lee DeWyze, Kris Allen and David Cook. All white dudes with guitars.

Recap – Top 2 ” The Finale Night ” Performance

LET’S HOPE FOR THE BEST…PRAY HARD!

JESSICA FOR THE WIN!!

This is it! The finale is here…tomorrow night we will find out who will be the next American Idol. Live at the Nokia Theatre L.A. TuesdayMay 22,  as Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips battled it out for the title.   Tonight, Jessica and Phillip sang three songs each: One selected by “Idol” mastermind Simon Fuller, one reprise of a memorable Season 11 performance, and one “winning song”.

ROUND ONE – FULLER’S PICKS

Jessica took the stage first, performing the Whitney Houston classic, “I Have Nothing.” It was a somewhat predictable song choice for Jessica, but she did put herself on the “Idol” map with a Whitney cover, so I guess Fuller didn’t want to mess with the formula now. Jessica sold the song (a bit of her growly alter ego, Bebe Chez, came out to play), and she sounded flawless, of course. And she looked flawless as well.  I was amused by how she was all dolled up like she was headed to the Oscars, and Phillip was wearing rumpled, fresh-off-the-bedroom-floor everyman-wear, like he was headed to work at his pawn shop.)  Then, Phillip performed the Benny King classic “Stand By Me”   Randy Jackson declared that Jessica won round one.

ROUND TWO – CONTESTANTS’ PICKS

For her second number, Jessica sang “The Prayer,” a song she performed earlier in the Top 24 competition. –an interesting choice, since her signature songs on this show, in my opinion, were “I Will Always Love You” and “And I Am Telling You.”– once again, I couldn’t find a single fault with her lovely voice….it’s flawless!  Then Phillip returned, and his reprise choice was “Movin Out” by Billy Joel. The judges were mixed in their round two verdict. Steven called it for Jessica, Randy choose both and Jennifer goes to her crush Philip. (What do you expect?)

And so…it all came down to their original songs…..

ROUND THREE WINNING  SONGS

The song that Jessica will release as her debut single, if she wins this week, is “Change Nothing”– she did it with grace.  “You brought the song to life, but I thought the song was just okay,” said Randy. “I just didn’t think that song was the proper song for you to sing,” shrugged Steven. Even Jennifer agreed that it was the wrong, soulless song for Jessica–which of course, was not Jessica’s fault. Phillip closed the show with his original tune, “Home,”

Tune in to Wednesday’s big finale.
