Jessica Sanchez should have won instead of Phillip Phillips

"Sometimes when you lose ... you win."

The White Guy With Guitar curse strikes for the fifth time in a row. I am very upset that my favorite contestant of season 11 lost to a White guy with a guitar. Jessica Sanchez should have won instead of Phillip Phillips. This is my biggest finale upset ever. Jessica Sanchez is the best singer in American Idol history. She is better than any American Idol winner, even Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Phillip Phillips is in the same league as Kris Allen and Lee DeWyze.

Phillip Phillips won because his fans were more dedicated in the official American Idol poll than Jessica Sanchez's fans were. Jessica Sanchez's U.S. fans slacked off in the poll and some of them did not even bother to vote at all. Teen and pre-teen girls have learned from previous seasons that they cannot be complacent, and this season, they were not competing with country music fans. The judges and the powers that be swayed the outcome of the finale. The powers that be sabotaged Jessica Sanchez and had the judges critique her and pimped Phillip Phillips and had the judges give him standing ovation. The VoteFair.org poll is more accurate than the official American Idol poll, which cannot be trusted.

America has chosen a pawn shop worker who is a barely alented male singer who can hardly sing a note and is a poor role moder over a YouTube star who is a super-talented female singer who can really, really sing flawlessly and is a great role model whose motto is "Work Hard. Stay Humber.

America has chosen a barely talented male singer who often sings out of tune and who has been singing for only six years and stands out a little over a super-talented female singer who can sing the phonebook flawlessly with standing ovation and who has been singing since the age of two and stands out a whole lot.

America has chosen a mediocre 21-year-old male singer with a one-octave vocal range and sounds the same and sings only rock and folk music over a 16-year-old female singer with a four-octave vocal range and varies in her singing and can sing any music genre.

America has chosen a mediocre male singer who has an average of 400,000 views on YouTube and who is worth $500,000 over a super-talented female singer who has an average of 3,000,000 views on YouTube and who is worth $1 trillion.

America has chosen a mediocre male singer who is an average White guy with a guitar over a super-talented female singer who is the best singer in American Idol history.

America has chosen a mediocre male singer who is in the same league as Kris Allen and Lee DeWyze and has less time to grow over a super-talented female singer who has a lot of time to grow and is in the same league as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

America has chosen a mediocre male singer who has a few celebrity endorsements and whom not many people want to duet with over a super-talented female singer who has many celebrity endorsements and whom so many people want to duet with.

Phillip Phillips has won, but in the long run, he will be forgotten and Jessica Sanchez will be more successful than him and become a music legend. Here is the analysis of the American Idol winners:

Season 1's Show Winner: Kelly Clarkson
Season 1's Real Winner: Kelly Clarkson
Season 2's Show Winner: Ruben Studdard
Season 2's Real Winner: Clay Aiken
Season 3's Show Winner: Fantasia Barrino
Season 3's Real Winner: Jennifer Hudson
Season 4's Show Winner: Carrie Underwood
Season 4's Real Winner: Carrie Underwood
Season 5's Show Winner: Taylor Hicks
Season 5's Real Winner: Chris Daughtry
Season 6's Show Winner: Jordin Sparks
Season 6's Real Winner: Jordin Sparks
Season 7's Show Winner: David Cook
Season 7's Real Winner: David Cook
Season 8's Show Winner: Kris Allen
Season 8's Real Winner: Adam Lambert
Season 9's Show Winner: Lee DeWyze
Season 9's Real Winner: Crystal Bowersox
Season 10's Show Winner: Scotty McCreery
Season 10's Real Winner: Scotty McCreery
Season 11's Show Winner: Phillip Phillips
Season 11's Real Winner: Jessica Sanchez

I rate American Idol season 11 a 8.25 out of 10. Had Jessica Sanchez won, I would have rated it 10 out of 10.

Therefore, on May 23, 2012, an American Idol is crowned and a music legend is born. Phillip Phillips will just be the 11th American Idol, while Jessica Sanchez will become a music legend and often be mentioned in one sentence with Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. Jessica Sanchez may have a shot of overtaking Kelly Clarkson as the Supreme Idol.

Jessica Sanchez makes the finale at the expense of Joshua Ledet

It is official: for the first time in five years, my favorite contestant has made it to the finale. Jessica Sanchez, my favorite contestant of American Idol season 11 has made it to the finale, but at the expense of my second favorite Joshua Ledet, who was born in 1992 and hails from Westlake, Louisiana.

With 90 million votes cast by America, Sanchez is the first contestant saved by the judges to make it into the finale. Unfortunately, she will have to face that White guy with a guitar known as Phillip Phillips. In the last four seasons, American Idol has been won by White guys with guitars (WGWGs). I hope Sanchez breaks the WGWG winning streak once and for all. I am fed up with WGWGs winning the competition. Another reason is that last season, five female finalists were eliminated in a row during the first five rounds of the finals.

If Sanchez wins, she will be another Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood. If Phillips wins, he will be another Taylor Hicks or Lee DeWyze. Choosing Phillips over Sanchez is like choosing sandpaper over velvet. It is like choosing wood over gold. It is like choosing junk food over healthy food. It is like choosing milk chocolate over dark chocolate. It is like choosing Chinese made goods over American made goods. It is like choosing monaural sound over 5.1 surround sound. It is like choosing standard definition over high definition. It is like choosing political correctness over common sense.

Jessica Sanchez makes the top 3 as Skylar Laine and Hollie Cavanagh are out of the picture

Jessica Sanchez has become the first recipient of the judges' save to make the top 3. In the last two weeks, Skylar Laine then Hollie Cavanagh got eliminated. In season 9, Michael Lynche came in 4th place after being saved by judges. Sanchez received a heroes' welcome in Chula Vista, California, which has a population of 237,000. On May 12, 2012, the city welcomed Sanchez at the East Lake Football Stadium. Mayor Cox proclaimed that day as "Jessica Sanchez Day" in the celebration featuring a procession, rally and mini concert. Sanchez was welcomed by about 7,000 supporters as she rode a parade accompanied by the school's color guards and marching band. After she sang three songs at the mini-concert, cheers from the crowd spurred her to an encore performance. The second part of the homecoming was on the flight deck of the USS Midway Museum in downtown San Diego, where she sang the national anthem and performed three songs before a crowd of about 4,000 aficionados. American Idol camera crews filmed the homecoming and will air tonight on FOX.

Elise Testone's Idol journe ends

Last week, Elise Testone from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, got voted off American Idol landing in sixth place. She auditioned for American Idol in Charleston, South Carolina. She gave a rendition fo Queen's "I Want It All" and Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love" on Wednesday but was unable evade elimination after appearing at the bottom of the pack six times this season. Testone was joined in the bottom three Thursday by 18-year-old vocalist Hollie Cavanagh from McKinney, Texas, who tugged at the judges' heartstrings with Queen's "Save Me" and Miley Cyrus' "The Climb," and 18-year-old country rocker Skylar Laine from Brandon, Miss., who wowed with Queen's "The Show Must Go On" and Jason Aldean's "Tattoos on This Town."

Colton Dixon goes home in American Idol shocker

Last week, as a shocking elimination, Colton Dixon got sent packing, landing in seventh place on American Idol season 11. He hails from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He said, "I wasn't myself last night." His Wednesday performance of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" was roundly criticized by the judges Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, and Jennifer Lopez. Dixon thanked them for their honest feedback, and assured them he would incorporate it into a future album. Host Ryan Seacrest described the singer as "a class act" as he left the stage, and judge Jennifer Lopez shook her head when Dixon's dismissal was announced.

Dixon was never in the bottom 3 prior to his elimination. He was in the bottom 3 with Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanagh, both of whom had found themselves in danger of elimination in previous weeks. My favorite contestant Jessica Sanchez, who was saved by judges last week after audiences voted her off the show, received enough votes to stay out of the bottom three, as did my second favorite contestant Joshua Ledet.

Thursday night's show featured a tribute to the late Dick Clark, who died of a massive heart attack and who Seacrest cited as an inspiration and a boon to the music industry. Pop band LMFAO performed its dance hit "Sorry for Party Rockin,'" and American Idol season 8's Kris Allen took the stage to sing his song "The Vision of Love."

Michael Colton Dixon was born to Teresa and Michael Dixon on October 19, 1991, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, the county seat of Rutherford County, Tennessee. He has a younger sister named Schyler Dixon. He graduated from Middle Tennessee Christian School in 2009. He is also a devout Christian.

Dixon originally auditioned for American Idol season 10 alongside his sister Schyler in Nashville, Tennessee, but neither of them advanced to the live shows. After he was cut in the green mile round, Dixon performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 3, 2011.

Dixon returned in season 11, however he did not plan to audition, initially planning to merely accompany his sister Schyler to her audition. The judges implored Dixon to audition as well, where he sang David Cook's "Permanent." Both he and Schyler advanced to the Hollywood Round. Schyler was cut yet again during the Las Vegas round, which brought Colton to tears. On February 23, 2012, Dixon was placed in the season 11 Top 25. In the semi-finals, he performed Paramore's "Decode." He advanced to the top 13 by public vote.

Jessica Sanchez gets saved Casey Abrams style

Last week, Jessica Sanchez, my favorite contestant of American Idol season 11, got saved from being eliminated to seventh place by the judges. This is bittersweet news to me. I agree with the judges and Jimmy Iovine that America voted wrong. However, it must be that the results were not based on actual votes, as the results were staged by the powers that be.

American Idol is supposed to be a singing talent contest, not a popularity contest. Sanchez is the wise choice for American Idol winner. deserves to win the competition, not Phillip Phillips or Colton Dixon, who have been getting the frau vote. The frau vote is very unwise, and it comes from young viewers who comprise a small percentage of the American Idol at-home viewing audience and who are AT&T customers who text-vote speedily. The use of the judges' save is probably used to increase American Idol's ratings.

During the results show, American Idol season 3 finalist Jennifer Hudson performed a duet with Ne-Yo called "Think Like a Man." Earlier, American Idol season 10's James Durbin performed his first single, "Higher Than Heaven."

Win or lose Sanchez will be the most successful contestant of American Idol season 11. She is already largely popular on YouTube. Let alone, she may even overtake Kelly Clarkson as the most successful American Idol contestant ever.

Tomorrow night, the theme is "Now & Then", meaning that the top 7 will perform two songs, one from the 21st century and one from the 20th century. The judges' save normally culminates in two finalists being sent home, but due to the disqualification of Jermaine Jones, only one finalist be sent home.

To all you who follow the frau vote, such as young female voting viewers: Female American Idol winners are more successful than their male counterparts regardless of race or musical style. Would you rather have an ethnic female American Idol winner like Jessica Sanchez who has a chance of attaining Kelly Clarkson level success or a White guy with a guitar (WGWG) type winner like Phillip Phillips who will go the way of Lee DeWyze?

My predictions on the top 7 are:

Winner: Jessica Sanchez
Runner-up: Colton Dixon
Third Place: Joshua Ledet
Fourth Place: Phillip Phillips
Fifth Place: Skylar Laine
Sixth Place: Elise Testone
Seventh Place: Hollie Cavanagh

DeAndre Brokensick

Last week, the top 8 sang songs from the 1980s, and then the top 8 became top 7 as DeAndre Brackensick got eliminated finishing in eighth place. Jennifer Lopez begged and pleaded with Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler to save him, but they declined, going against the audience's wishes. Brackensick is known for his falsetto. He is the American Idol version of Maxwell.

DeAndre Brackensick was born to Scot and Dawn Brackensick on October 21, 1994. He hails from San Jose, California. He is currently a senior at Oak Grove High School and was elected homecoming king. He is an active participant in Oak Grove High School's Theater Arts program and is the president of the school's Polynesian Club.

Brackensick originally auditioned for American Idol season 10, but he was cut in the green mile round, because the judges felt like he was not ready for the competition and advised him to come back the following season to audition again in San Diego, California. He did return and auditioned for the eleventh season in San Jose, California.

During the semifinal round, Brackensick performed "Reasons" by Earth, Wind & Fire. He was not one of the top five males chosen by America's votes, but was selected as one of six contestants to perform in the wild card round. In this round, he performed "Georgia on My Mind" by Hoagy Carmichael and His Orchestra and was selected as one of the three wild cards to advance to the top 13 by American Idol judge, Steven Tyler. He was consistently praised by the judges for his performances and one of the live audience's favorites. After his performance of Stevie Wonder's, "Master Blaster" American Idol judge, Randy Jackson told Brackensick out of all the contestants for this season he was the most commercial ready, now. During the top 9 results show, he met his personal idol Eric Benet. On April 5, 2012 Brackensick was in the bottom three and did not receive enough votes to continue in the competition. He then sang for the one save of the season given to the American Idol judges and once again bringing the audience to their feet in enjoyment. Before he was told the judges decision the audience chanted continuously for them to use their save. American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez, wanted to use the seasons save on him but the shows rules dictate that it has to be a unanimous decision among the judges and unfortunately it was not. Brackensick's falsetto has been noted as one of the best in American Idol history. He has an uncanny and near effortless ability to change from his beautiful chest voice into falsetto, and contributes that to the time he spent growing up among the Hawaiian culture as a singer and hula performer. He was the last wild card contestant to be eliminated, finishing in eighth place. Since his elimination he has been busy speaking with press, radio, and appearing on talk shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, LIVE! with Kelly, The Today Show, and Anderson. DeAndre Brackensick will be returning to the American Idol stage for the season eleven finale. He will continue to pursue a career in R&B music, after the completion of American Idol's season eleven top ten finalists concert tour; summer 2012.

Tonight, the top 7 finalists will perform songs of the 2010s, featuring R&B superstar Akon as the guest mentor. The musical guests for tomorrow night's results show are R&B superstar NeYo, American Idol season 3's Jennifer Hudson, and American Idol season 10's James Durbin.
