The Save

The American Idol Season 11 has a lot of memorable moments especially when Jessica Sanchez sang a song that may either eliminate her in the contest orcontinue being in the show. She got the lowest vote so she did her best for that moment of her life but the judges went on the stage and stop Jessica from singing and used their “the save” that can only be used once and luckily, Jessica was still in the show.

The Moment of Truth

            May 24, 2012 was the moment of truth. The regular 1 hour show was a 2 hour that day because of the idol finale. Top 2, Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips, were able to sing with the pillars of the music industry, Phillip sang with Fantasia Barrino (American Idol Season 2) and Jessica Sanchez with Jennifer Holiday. A total of 132 Million votes cast the night before the idol finale and before the show ends, the American Idol Season 11 was announced and it was Phillip Phillips.

The Issue

            Most of the viewers and some of the known artists in the music industry quarreled or should we say “argue” on the American Idol result. One said that American Idol is now a popularity contest and not a talent show. In addition, an American Idol fanatic was interviewed by ABS-CBN and summoned a recount on the votes. As far as I’ve surf twitter, a tweet had captured my attention, “Phillip Phillips was the American Idol but Jessica Sanchez is the Global Idol”. So much for that, I congratulate Phillip Phillips for winning the title as American Idol Season 11 winner, he truly has the voice!
