Jessica Sanchez got her start on Season 11 of 'American Idol,' placing second. She has a diva's voice a la Mariah or Beyonce, but she's going the dance pop route on her first single 'Tonight,' featuring Ne-Yo.

In this video, Sanchez is one of the sexiest 17-year-olds we've ever seen. Some of the video looks like footage from one of the 'Step Up' films -- but not the ones with Channing Tatum, we mean the later sequels -- thanks to these dance offs.

Ne-Yo's ever-present fedora is there and so are Sanchez's moves. Sanchez, with her curtain of silky hair and sparkly, smoky eyes, is showing her J. Lo dance side.

Who knew she could dance so hard?
