American Idol Performance Recap: Jams by Jimmy
by Hilton Hater at .First, the American Idol finalists listened to the judges last night.
Then, they were given the freedom to select their own songs.
Finally, Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet were tasked with a cover by Jimmy Iovine, closing a busy evening with the following three performances. Which did you like best?
-------------------------------------------
Joshua Ledet was given a Mary J. Blige track, "No More Drama." Watch and listen and compare now to his take on John Lennon.
Jessica Sanchez went old school with "I'll Be There," a single made famous by the Jackson 5 and then even more famous by Mariah Carey.
Phillip Phillips then went romantic with Bob Seger' "We've Got Tonight," proving that he doesn't always need a guitar in his hands.

Happy that the one who's been eliminated is SCREAMING Joshua!! Jessica is the next American Idol !!! she deserves the title- since the very first :)) We love you Jessica ♥
Why the 3 judges keeps on giving Joshua Ledet a Standing Ovation in his every performance? he's just ''SCREAMING'' you know that ? and not singing. Didn't they noticed that? so they means that ''SCREAMING'' is now Phenomenal? are they f*cking kidding me ? between Philip and Joshua I'll definitely go for Phillip. between Philip and Jessica.. I'll go for Jessica of course. She's the real singer. Jessica for the WIN !!!!!!!!! I love you Jessica !!
not impressed by joshua, he just screams. jessica is the best singer, she should win. but the cute white boy always wins, so phillip might win.
the judges are very bias and show who their favorites are all the time! they shouldn't do this. it isn't fair to the other singers. joshua is very talented but I have to agree that he screams too much. he is too gospel to be the american idol.phillip may not have the same vocal range as the other two, but there is something special about him and his voice that just makes you want more! jessica has a great voice! I loved Elise who got voted off.
A very large portion of Americans suffer from what we call IMPLICIT BIAS.There is NO WAY Joshua should not be in the finals. This young man brought the house down every night. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! WOW!
