I'm glad they gave her such a big moment. I think they realized she was the best vocalist out of all the Amercian idols that never got famous and decided she deserved that recognition
Agree with this. Very, very underrated. At least other non-winners like Adam Lambert who were really, really good got the reputation they rightfully deserve.
No, the ending was the same, but she fine-tuned it in parts, that note in the middles was considerably longer, even though both renditions are of the highest order, she raised the bar again with this rendition.
someone asked about the ending wondering if she could not sustain the high note...the answer would be no, she could do high notes but i think she simply gave that bit of the song to all other stars in that group to end it, and we could hear Reuben took that bit in the end, Jess didnt want to be accused of hugging the limelight! True star!!
+May Donnelly If you watch Jessica perform ''The Prayer'' previously, not just on season 11, but also at the PBS Memorial day concert she finished the same way, why do people automatically assume she wanted to change the ending here? The question should be does the way Jessica interoperates the song at the end better suit the song than the original, for me it does, the way Jessica caresses the mic at the end pays better reverence to a song, besides Jessica had already hit the high note on unequalled measure midway through so doing at the end probably would not have worked so well. I only see a very small minority that aren't happy about the way Jessica sung the end, these are probably traditionalists who think that a song should be a carbon copy of the original, but music would get very boring and repetitive if all artists thought that way.
+Jovick Shovick you're the stupid one for simply not understanding correctly what the other girl above meant. Maybe you should have reread her comment. smh dummie!
I was distracted from Idol and then when Jessica Sanchez. started singing The Prayer... SO AMAZING.... loved her on 11.. she's even better now.... omg..
If she won, American Idol wouldn't end after this season. Alot of people (including myself) stopped watching after she lost to a guy I don't even remember the name of.
umm i respect but the guy u dont remember his name is phillip phillips who has produced 2 successful albums with songs like gone gone gone and raging fire which soundtrackted in movies like the amazing spiderman and behind the light where as jessica only had one sorta famous song but still no doubt she is a far better singer than phillip tho. no hate just sayin
Jessica Sanchez is in the same class with Barbra Streisand and Lara Fabian, not just technically but most of all she sings with her sincere emotion like both.
You are talking rubbish. The music industry is full of black arists - how the hell would any of them made it in the music industry if it was down to RACISM AND WHITE MEDIOCRITY - you are here to promote your own racist views.
The phrasing from the verses, the intonation needed for every lyric, the soft spots, the high notes, the falsetto. Each second was PERFECTION ! The new American Idol is Jessica Sanchez ! We know her talent outdone others... :)
no she was like, Oh my gosh, that's the girl I sabotage during season 11's finale, and she slapped me tonight , making me realized that she should have won!
Jessica Sanchez was by far the best female vocalist that American Idol ever had . It was so odd that after watching the final show I could not remember 99% of the prior contestants names. When she came on I said that's Jessica Sanchez .I was amazed that she left that much of an impression on me. She is the only real star ,shine on Jessica.
Is the year 2022 and still listen Jessica Sanchez singing “The Prayer “and make me cry, the Best Singer Ever of All Times in American Idol, God Bless you. 🌟
She came back to remind y'all that she was robbed of the American Idol title for her season lmaoooooo but part of me is so so happy she didn't win otherwise she'd be stuck with a shitty label and shitty contract that would control her.... like, where is phillip phillips after 2012??????
+Jade K Actually Phillip Phillips has done really well, I own all of his albums. But I agree, Jessica should have won that year. She definitely won last night.
I do believe that if Jessica won her season..she is now ridiculously successful in music industry..American idol didnt help her after the show..they want to show america that PP is deserving to win...to cover their crime..
+Jade K Philip"s first album is a success because his single Home is a big hit, but his second album is a failure because it flop, according to Yahoo news it is one of the biggest Flop album of 2014, it was promoted heavily in radio and TV but it still flop, but he still touring untill now and making good money
And when Ryan said " some of the best singers american idol has discovered" I immediately thought of her... I thought she wasn't showing up, never thought she would beautifully end the performance 😍 she slayed that performance!!
AI producers made her tribute choosing her to sing alone in the center of the stage! And with a standing ovation! Amazing! And she was only 16 years old in her season. Jessica was , is, and will be for ever the best singer of American Idol history!
This performance is why she was selected to perform with Andrea Bocelli at the All State Arena this week. She will be singing 4 songs. 3 which will be sung in Italian and Spanish. Well done Jessica.
i can't count on how many times i listened to this performance , it is the best performance of the night and she definitely steals the show with that performance....WOW... nobody sings like her... it's just so beautiful and truly amazing....
If there was an ultimate winner I think she deserves that title, she's so unbelievably brilliant. Like her vocals are just bloody wow. When she hits those high bits it's like spine tingling good. It gives me chills 😍☺️
oh no ! the queen of all American Idol is back "Jessica Sanchez" OMG ! 😀😂🤗 BRAVO !🙏🏻🙌🏻👌🏽👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She always give me the chills whenever she performs. She should've won, this is real talent. She should be famous, her songs should be on charts, she should go on tour. Unfortunately, racism is the issue.
OMG, we've watched it again we're all teary... standing ovation clap clap clap.... goosebumps all over! lol one of the judges got envy failed to grasp the impact he he he!
I really missed her performing on AI. Thank you AI for giving this beautiful young girl with a powerful voice a chance and an opportunity to showcase her talent all over the world. Jessica you'll always be remembered :)
Listen to Jessica's new song "Millionaire"! ua-cam.com/video/oTjdMBP2ijQ/v-deo.html

*JLo was like* _"Damn! I'm the next performer and that bitch is phenomenal! How am I gonna top that performance now?!"_
I'm glad they gave her such a big moment. I think they realized she was the best vocalist out of all the Amercian idols that never got famous and decided she deserved that recognition
I agree!
Agree with this. Very, very underrated. At least other non-winners like Adam Lambert who were really, really good got the reputation they rightfully deserve.
She is great Clay Aiken is singing background and harmonizing. listing at the last and you can hear him.
Nobody deserves anything. Gotta put in the work and listen to the fans
She wasn't only the best vocalist out of all the American Idols that never got famous. She's one of the best vocalists the show has ever had.
She deserved a Grammy with that performance.
She's the QUEEN of the NIGHT! 🙌🏻👏🏼
Yep❤️
Absolutely!

And the new American Idol is...
JESSICA SANCHEZ
#stillsalty
SAME
+Lando S. Hell yes.
They should have had an American Idol allstars version
Same
same...
you can tell she improved 100x better
I bet if american idol has an all stars season jessica would win
doglbea i agree. Like americas next top model, i hope, american idol do their own all star .
@nikki scissorhands i think Angie has change her name
as long as kelly clarkson is there, she would never win.
she reminded everyone that even though she lost to Philip Philips, she was still everyone's American Idol. :)
+magicks25 not just american's idol but the world's idol
how could you be just a runner up in one season and yet had the best vocal of the show's finale night?! Jessica Sanches is amazing as ever!!!
Clay Aiken was singing harmony at the end with her. He hit the high note
@@jeanowen5667it’s not just the note at the end, Jessica outshined everyone here!
1:22 Jessica held that note five times longer than in 2012 when she sang it to get on the top 24.
No, the ending was the same, but she fine-tuned it in parts, that note in the middles was considerably longer, even though both renditions are of the highest order, she raised the bar again with this rendition.
Jessica was the highlight of the finale. The Idol of all Idols.
i love at the end when she flicks her hair and smiles like "yerp i know that was amazing".
my opinion is that jessica sanchez should had won american idol season 11
me tooooooooo
yeahhhh...i agree
I think we can all agree to that
..and what is he doing now.....???????
what are you talking about
someone asked about the ending wondering if she could not sustain the high note...the answer would be no, she could do high notes but i think she simply gave that bit of the song to all other stars in that group to end it, and we could hear Reuben took that bit in the end, Jess didnt want to be accused of hugging the limelight! True star!!
+May Donnelly she said it was because she almost started crying from all the emotions of it being the last show
+jswaggernaut ... and i also watched her season 11 performance of that song & she ended it the same way too.
+May Donnelly If you watch Jessica perform ''The Prayer'' previously, not just on season 11, but also at the PBS Memorial day concert she finished the same way, why do people automatically assume she wanted to change the ending here?

+May Donnelly are stupid? regardless she didn't sustain it, her version is still the best. she just showed the world her vocal prowess
+Jovick Shovick you're the stupid one for simply not understanding correctly what the other girl above meant. Maybe you should have reread her comment. smh dummie!
The way she was the MAIN one as if she was actually one of the winners. Queen.
and the Grammy for Best New Artist goes to
.

Jessica Sanchez
👏👍🙌👍👏
wth. best comment!😂❤😂
Years later and I still get goosebumps every time she sings. 😭
i second this
Funny how she’s the one in the center even though she didn’t win a season. 😂 she really is a true artist, I guess American Idol realized that.
I was distracted from Idol and then when Jessica Sanchez. started singing The Prayer... SO AMAZING.... loved her on 11.. she's even better now.... omg..
she was on her full potential
jessica owned the stage. great!
If she won, American Idol wouldn't end after this season. Alot of people (including myself) stopped watching after she lost to a guy I don't even remember the name of.
Same
Actually
umm i respect but the guy u dont remember his name is phillip phillips who has produced 2 successful albums with songs like gone gone gone and raging fire which soundtrackted in movies like the amazing spiderman and behind the light where as jessica only had one sorta famous song but still no doubt she is a far better singer than phillip tho. no hate just sayin
+im real good point, but i think most people know jessica then him right?
+Sij Cecilio in the philippines, probably yes
The TRUE American Idol of all 15 seasons: The supper talented, golden personality, and fashionista Jessica Sanchez! 💖

Jessica Sanchez is in the same class with Barbra Streisand and Lara Fabian, not just technically but most of all she sings with her sincere emotion like both.
SHE SHOULD'VE WON THATS TRUE TALENT RIGHT THERE
A VICTIM OF RACISM AND WHITE MEDIOCRITY

Head voice*
She uses head voice, bro.
BEST voice ever on any show period!!!
I agree! Her voice is soooo amazing!
I agree 100%
Jessica is literally the star of the show. She really is what American Idol was all about.
Jennifer Lopez's face was like "Oh my gosh... Im next"
no she was like, Oh my gosh, that's the girl I sabotage during season 11's finale, and she slapped me tonight , making me realized that she should have won!
She is amazing!! Slayed it!!! Outshines everyone...she made the crowd again quiet,listen & stunned by her presence...#voicegoals
Jessica Sanchez was by far the best female vocalist that American Idol ever had . It was so odd that after watching the final show I could not remember 99% of the prior contestants names.

I keep on hitting the replay button.
One of the LEGEND vocalist of Idol. I was waiting for this such a long time.

Best performance of the evening, fabulous!
Every time she's at a finale she steals the show! At her's with Jennifer Holliday and now at this one! :D
+jbird1777 She cannot steal something she owns, but I do get your point - well said.
I GOT GOOSEBUMPS! one the best vocals of all time
Love Keith Urban's heartwarming applause! WTG Jessica Sanchez!
And when Ryan said " some of the best singers american idol has discovered" I immediately thought of her... I thought she wasn't showing up, never thought she would beautifully end the performance 😍 she slayed that performance!!
