Another Filipina is gunning for the “American Idol” title. Jessica Sanchez’s powerful vocals had FilAms and the judges gushing and raving about the resurrection of Whitney Houston.
When the 16-year-old finalist performed the Houston masterpiece, “I Will Always Love You,” the judges were so moved they gave the Filipino-Mexican teen a standing ovation. Judge Tyler said, “You just made 40 million people cry tonight.”
