Sanchez impressed the judges again when she sang Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know?” for the show’s ‘80s night Thursday with Joshua Ledet.  It’s ‘80s night on American Idol Season 11. It’s not just solo performances.


The two powerhouse singers blew away the Idol triumviate of Jennifer Lopez, Steve Tyler and Randy Jackson.

               “Did an amazing job,” --- Randy Jackson said for Jessica

               “Everything you do is beautiful.” - - Steven Tyler  told to Jessica 

The bottom 3 were DeAndre Brackensick , Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanagh.

Unfortunately, the 17-year-old eight placer DeAndre Brackensick was voted off by the viewers and the judges was unable to save him.

The American Idol 11 Top 7 finalists were the following: 

Jessica Sanchez

Phillip Phillips

Joshua Ledet

Colton Dixon

With Sanchez advancing to the Top 7, she has placed higher than fellow Filipino-American Ramiele Malubay, who finished 9th in 2007. The most successful finish by a singer with Philippine heritage is Jasmine Trias, who placed 3rd in 2004.

THE STYLISTICS Live in Manila on April 12, 2012, 8pm at Smart Araneta Coliseum.  Their special guests are Rico J. Puno and Elizabeth Ramsey.

The Stylistics have been recording and touring for almost forty years and enjoyed twelve straight Top 10 hits from 1971-1974. These includetheir stellar debut"Betcha by Golly, Wow", "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up", and the shimmering sweet soul ballad "You Make Me Feel Brand New".Their early 70s work with producer Thom Bell and his collaborator, lyricist Linda Creed yielded some of the most popular love songs of that era.

Known for their sleek, soulful Philadelphia sound, this quartet has been performing for nearly 40 years and became a worldwide-favorite for their showmanship, harmony and style.  Formed in 1968, The Stylistics was originally comprised lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herbie Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. After the original group disbanded in the 80s, Love, Murrell, and Thompkins continued to tour until 2000 and brought in two new members from one set of the Delfonics - Harold Eban Brown as lead singer, and tenor Van Fields who also sang with an a cappella group called A Perfect Blend. In 2011, Fields departed and was replaced with Jason Sharpe (formerly with Heatwave).

In 2008 they recorded their latest album, That Same Way. The new album marks as their first album of new material this century but still filled with sweet soul spirit that initially made The Stylistics famous.Their song, "People Make the World Go Round", was used by Spike Lee in the soundtrack for 1994 film Crooklyn, as performed by Marc Dorsey.


As That’s Ntertainment Productions brings one of the finest acts of the 70’s, The Stylistics-- consisting of founding members Airrion Love and Herb Murrell and newer additions Van Fields and Eban Brown—will definitely spark fond memories in an amazing night for fans of Soul and R&B genres decades ago.
