Mini diva Jessica Sanchez was born in 1995, so she chose 'Turn the Beat Around' by Gloria Estefan on tonight's episode of 'American Idol,' where the hopefuls were allowed to perform a song from the year in which they were born. Sanchez is 16-years-young, but she sings like a seasoned diva with years of experience under her belt.
So who was the soul brave enough to attempt Whitney Houston's biggest hit, 'I Will Always Love You,' on tonight's tribute episode of 'American Idol' (March 7)? The petite powerhouse known as Jessica Sanchez, that's who. How'd she do?
With only two girls left to perform, Jessica Sanchez took the 'American Idol' stage tonight to chat first with Ryan Seacrest about the emotional week she's had while losing her voice and having to visit the doctor. When asked how she thought her voice would hold up for her performance, the 16-year-old San Diego native was obviously apprehensive.
