American Idol Runner-Up Jessica Sanchez WOWS Crowd During DNC Performance!

9/06/2012 2:51 PM ET | Filed under: Music Minute • Politik • American Idol

Jessica Sanchez may have lost the American Idol crown to Phillip Phillips last season, but she won BIG at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night!

Her soulful cover of Marvin Gaye's You're All I Need to Get By (above) brought the entire audience to their feet as everyone grooved along with the young singer and the God's Appointed People Choir, all of whom did an amazing job backing Sanchez's incredible vocals up!

Isn't it crazy that voice is only 17 years old!? It's SO powerful and is DEFINITELY going places in the music industry!

Does anyone think Obama will mention the black population genocide that he's leading? It was recently announced that since 1973, there was have been more 17 MILLION aborted black babies in America. Isn't that genocide? I'm glad our black president is going to make us all contribute our hard, earned tax dollars to companies who continue the cleansing.

How predictable. You mentioned Michele Obama "Killed" it, Kumar was sensational, this twat was fabulous, but all things RNC were forced and awkward. You are a joke, and a fucking doosh.

Re: ericmtl – GATERZ GOTTA GATE! As always Jessica SHINES and takes another giant step towards gaining more fans around the world! Her record company should take note of her strengths and stay clear from bubblegum pop that does not make use of the her immense talent.

Phillip Phillips is an elitist snob. He meet with privileged people for an hour, but completely ran, with his manager guarding him, from a group of 8 girls, his actual fans and the people who matter. Phillips and his entourage need to get their priorities straight.

Re: SS – So true. Phillip Phillips is an elitist whore. At a recent small cafe performance, "paparazzi" stood outside. They were clearly part of his entourage. What a joke. Phillips truly needs to get in touch with reality.
