Jessica Sanchez 'I Will Always Love You': 16-Year-Old's Rendition Stuns 'American Idol' Judges

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/08/jessica-sanchez-i-will-always-love-you-american-idol-_n_1330596.html

LOS ANGELES -- Gutsy "American Idol" contestant Jessica Sanchez took on Whitney Houston's biggest hit, delivering a performance that awed the show's judges.

When host Ryan Seacrest asked the panel to name Wednesday night's top two singers among the 13 finalists, Steven Tyler was ready.

"Jessica Sanchez and Jessica Sanchez," Tyler said.

The 16-year-old San Diego high school student's assured version of "I Will Always Love You" was "just amazing. I don't even know what to say," Jennifer Lopez exclaimed during the performance show.

Two camps going at each other:

1). The "Pinoy Pride" camp (because of her heritage)

2). The other camp that's telling the "Pinoy Pride" posters to S.T.F.U.

It's sad and unfortunate.

Haven't most ethnic groups been proud of accomplishments by members of their ethnic group?

Heck, my great grandparents came to this country around 1900 from Poland, Italy and Sicily and I still have some pride when somebody with an Italian or Polish background accomplishes something impressive/important (correspondingly, I'm embarrassed by Scalia and Alito still, because they're Italian)
