Alert! Jessica Sanchez is in, Joshua Ledet is out.

" The former geek is now on the verge of stardom"
After a phenomenal and historic 90 million votes, the American public has decided---Jessica Sanchez is in, same goes to Philip Philips while Louisiana native Joshua Ledet is set to go home.


Official results show Jessica garnering almost 80 million votes, and the rest were divided between Philips and Ledet in  the most lopsided voting ever in American Idol history.


After giving his all at yesterday's Top 3 performances, the judges thought that Ledet has indeed exhausted all there is to it when it comes to his performances. The vote shows a true rendering which is almost similar to what the judges think.


Ledet's performances, though impressive, are beginning to bore the audiences. Philips is starting to unravel new sides of his performance. Yes, he continues to tread his own interpretation of the songs. It remains to be seen though if Philips would pull off new rabbits under his sleeve. 


" Philips pull the girl's vote out"
Meanwhile, Jessica, some say, is set to deconstruct AI history. If Jessica wins, she will be the first female to break the "all male" AI winners in the past years, and the youngest AI winner. Jessica is just sixteen years old. Many industry insiders are excited about her. Some say she has what it takes to become a legend in the music industry. 


Philips meanwhile, is a drop in a bucket. Many former AI winners singing style is like Philips. He plays the guitar to mask his inability to carry a decent tune. His voice, honestly, is like a cat being crushed. 


So, it's now a toss up--between a young nymph with an angelic, angst-y voice--or a handsome crooner who sings like a cat being bludgeoned to death. You decide.

Who will be in the finale of the American Idol Season 11?

So, its down to three---Filipino-Mexican singer Jessica Sanchez, 'Mantasia' Joshua Ledet and Philip Philips. Who will be on the finale?


For the Americans out there, who is still undecided, just answer this question---who among the three singers will you go and spend your precious dollars for a concert? Will you spend your money buying a Sanchez record, or a Ledet record or a Philip Philips?


If you ask me, I'll spend even a thousand for a Jessica Sanchez record. She's a unique singer. Her style is amazing. Her voice is one of a billion. She can sing almost anything--ballads, rhythm and blues, probably even Western. There's a sophistication in that voice that only legends of old America had. 


Ledet is as common as others while it is entirely difficult even to finish listening to a Philip Philips record. Notice that American Idol needs the entire orchestra just to package these two as legitimate singers. For Jessica's case, all she needs is a good guitar player by her side. 


Ledet's problem is he tries to deny his sexuality. Everyone knows that he's gay. He tries to be straight but whenever he sings, he mimicks fantasia. Tell me a guy singer who fantasizes being Fantasia?


Whoever America votes off tomorrow, even if it is Jessica, that singer deserves a career. The three deserves being there, a testimony of their hard work.
