American Idol Winner 2012 – A Prayer for Jessica
May 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Jessica Sanchez had me when she channelled Whitney Houston in "I will always love you". If you look at the uneven album records of the 17 American Idol winners and runner-ups only eight first place winners have released an album - though Carrie underwood and Kelly Clarkson have done well- there is one Oscar winner among the runner-ups and many of these have fared much better than first place winners. (Daughtry should have won - and I don't even like rock.) I think Jessica is amazing. Phillips … [Read more...]

See what you think. … [Read more...]
