how does everyone feel about jessica sanchez singing ...

I don't think Jessica singing the US national anthem would sit well to a lot of americans who voted for her in the american idol. career or popularity wise, it won't do her any good if she sings the Philippine national anthem this early especially in a high profile fight.

I know the girl that sang pambansang awit was also famous and her being so Filipino was still prominent in here that she could sing well our national anthem. As for Jessica I could really imagine in her that she is not a good Filipino singer and I think she has not memorized it yet and with her style of singing it would be hard for her since our national anthem is not sang according to her voice. Whereas for US they can always alter the style of the way their anthem is sang. Philippines is a bit conservative that we are not allowed to change the tempo and melody of our national anthem.

I agree with you, I admire Kirby for singing the national anthem of our country so well.. it was so clear and you can really understand what she was saying - of course when you know tagalog. jessica sanchez is jessica sanchez... it was rather cool that she got to be chosen to sing the national anthem of the US - i think though that she kind of overdid it as i can barely understand the words coming out of her! I know english but i don't understand the song she sang! he he not to offend anyone - this is what i thought only okay? I would still be proud of this woman as she is more known to be the contestant of the american idol than being a filipina. Let's face it technically she is american because she has documents or proofs, hence she got into the show in the first place. Let us not make it a big of a deal why she is not singing our national anthem - she does not even speak the language! :P

Hello Allen, You know I like in this matter, Jessica was more cheered when she sang the US National Anthem compare to Kurby Asunto who sang the Philippine national Anthem. but it makes you proud seeing two filipinas sing the National Anthem. but what I hate is that people are saying that Jessica sanchez is not proud filipina for singing US anthem but this is bcause there was already a chosen singer for the National Anthem Phils. another was complaining why philipp didn't sing the US anthem when he's in a freaking surgery and recovering

Jessica Sanchez as usual gave a very good performance out of singing Star Spangled Banner. The crowd was cheering for her which means they appreciated the way the national anthem was sung. Jessica might have Filipino lineage but she is an American citizen. She has all the right to sing the US national anthem. I don't think she is conversant in Filipino or Tagalog. It might not be easy for her to learn Bayang Magiliw in a short time and with a very busy schedule. Maybe for the Pacquiao-Bradley rematch, she might get to sing the Filipino national anthem.

Jessica Sanchez is a dime a dozen. I was not thrilled with her last 4 performances. Sure, she did well with a lot of the songs, but so did many others. I voted for Phillip Phillips because he has a very unique voice and style. His style of clothing also was not the center of attention. He was not trying to put on a fashion show. As an entertainer, you must pull your fans in by being true and origional. Phillip has it all, as you could see by his last preformance, he went to his family because of his overwhelming success; the people who had supported him throughout his entire live; the people who he loved the most, his family! I was suprised that Jessica was actually in 2nd place, as I was hoping for Hollie. But no matter what, there is always a winner and a loser. They will all have songs on the radio, and very soon. Record companies will do anything to make money these days. So again, I was not impressed with jessica and neither was 3/4 of America. The votes prove this. She didn't deserve to win, much less be in second place. Thanks!
