American Idol judges commented to Jessica's performance, “When God was giving out vocal chords, you were so at the front of the line,” Steven says. “That song was like written for you... that was a defining moment for you, a defining song,” Jen says.
Filipino-Mexican-American contestant Jessica Sanchez may have missed a beat on "American Idol" this week but the 16-year-old said she still welcomed the negative feedback from the judges.
Asked to sing songs from the year they were born, Sanchez picked Gloria Estefan's "Turn the Beat Around" and failed to impress the judges, as well as the TV critics.
Both Randy Jackson and Steven Typer advised Sanchez to pick her songs more carefully.
“I don’t think you should stray too far on that [ballads]," Tyler said. "The rhythm that you sang with the song was just a little shady but again I love you voice and they do, too."
Jessica Sanchez, who sang Whitney's "I Will Always Love You" this week and was so great, she made Jennifer Lopez "speechless" and "made 40 million people cry," according to Steven Tyler.
