They said, winner Phillip Phillips might have won the votes of the Americans but the talent show viewers the rest of the world believe Sanchez is their "Idol."

"World Idol" spread like wild fire on social networking sites and has been a trending topic on Twitter right after the announcement.

Sanchez wowed the world with her duet with Jennifer Holiday of the Dreamgirls's "And I am telling you, I am not going" that has also become an instant hit all over the world.

Phillip Phillips is American Idol 2012 Winner

Sorry folks, but our favorite Jessica Sanchez "changed nothing" about the Idol history as this year's American Idol winner is another "White Guy With Guitar" or WGWG, Phillip Phillips.

Watch Jessica Sanchez performance with Jennifer Holiday singing "And I am Telling You, I am not Going. (Sanchez stole the night with this performance and many believe she's the World Idol).

Phillips was crowned Idol's Season 11 Grand Champion during the announcement aired over Fox TV just now (Wednesday Night EDT/Thursday Morning Manila). It was aired live via cable channel ETC here in the Philippines.

  Phillips was earlier predicted by Idol experts to be winning the contest that was dominated by WGWG for four years in a row. Since 2007, America crowned cute white guys David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, and Scotty McCreery, respectively.

During yesterday's performance night Phillips got the only standing ovation from the judges and Sanchez getting not so good remarks for the 'weak song' "Change Nothing." Though Sanchez's supporters flooded microblogging site, Twitter with tweets of disappointment over the judges, their campaigns and votes fell short to make the Filipina-Mexican-American from San Diego, California win.

American Idol had a world record number of votes cast last night with 132 Million, says TV producer Nigel Lythgoe on Twitter earlier today.

The experts are correct. Phillips has the "American Idol in his bag."  DialIdol.com says, "Obviously DialIdol thinks Phillip has a slight edge over Jessica and to be honest I agree." Reading on the support both finalists get from east and west coast of the US, it added, "The bottom line is we just don't know but it would be more surprising to see Jessica win than Phillip."

The result is not surprising after all.

Filipino-Mexican United Because of Jessica

If there's one thing all this Idol popularity has done for the supporters of Jessica, it is paving a way for two races, Filipino and Mexican, which was 'separated by boxing' as one tweeterer puts it, has believed to have been united to support for Sanchez.

The two nations campaigned and prayed for Sanchez to win the competition. Filipinos in the Philippines tried voting via Facebook, mobile phones and Skype for Sanchez as well.

Many believed, including me, that Sanchez has a great talent and is more deserving to win the title rather than the cute guy, Phillips. But after tonight's result, we could all be disappointed for a few minutes (for others, hours maybe) but should be happy enough for what Jessica has achieved. Besides, Phillips is a great guy who also has a talent. Let him prove himself after Idol while we, as supporters of Sanchez should continuously doing so by listening to her voice and  music in the days to come.

If you've missed it on TV, standby. I will be posting the video on this same post once available online. For now, share your happiness/thoughts by leaving a comment in the box below.

Jessica Sanchez to win American Idol 2012

Call me biased. Because I am. For after tonight's Season Finale Performances, Filipino-Mexican-American Jessica Sanchez is going to win American Idol against contenter Philip Philips. 

No matter what the judges say. We are all gonna vote for Jessica! Right, folks? Because that's what would make her win, not the judges' comments that's obviously pro-Phillip, who have the support from the American teenage girls.

During their face-off on Idol's Finale night, Jessica sang "I have nothing" as provided by Simon Fuller for her first song. Then, she sang  "The Prayer" as her second song, which was her most favourite performance of the season. While she sang beautifully "Change Nothing" for her third song (her choice of what would be her first album should she win), which the judges said, a weak song yet, it was one of Jessica's strong performances.

Jessica didn't get standing ovation like what contender Phillip Phillips received from the judges but who cares? They always gave standing ovations to Joshua Ledet and thought Joshua was the best singer but where the hell is Joshua?

I also love Phillip. Honestly, I've been wanting him to be with Jessica in the Finale. But like what other people say, white guys with guitars have dominated American Idol far too long. It's about time we break the mold this time. It's the time for someone who has pure singing talent to win.

So no matter what the judges say, America is voting for Jessica Sanchez for she deserves to be this year's American Idol!

I will update in a few. For now, let's vote vote vote for Jessica!!!
