Pasok sa Top 13 ng American Idol Season 11 ang Filipino-Mexican na si Jessica Sanchez.

Sa semi-final round ay kinanta ni Jessica ang "Love You I Do" ng Idol alumna na si Jennifer Hudson.

Dahil sa kanyang mahusay na performance ay binigyan siya ng standing ovation ng audience—at maging ng tatlong judges na sina Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, at Steven Tyler.

Ang 16-year-old lang na si Jessica lang ang nakakuha, among the female contestants, ng standing ovation mula sa judges.

Mula sa Top 25 semi-finalists, sampu ang pinili ng voters-ang top five males at top five females.

Tatlo naman ang pinili ng mga judges. Ang tatlong ito ang "wildcard" contestants.

Bukod kay Jessica, ang nakapasok sa Top 5 females ay sina Hollie Cavanagh, Shannon Magrane, Skyler Laine, at Elise Testone.

Sa mga lalaki naman, ang Top 5 ay sina Phillip Phillips, Joshua Ledet, Colton Dixon, Jermaine Jones, at ang Korean-American na si Heejun Han.

Mula sa eliminated contestants ay kumuha ng anim na magpe-perform at base rito ay pipili ang judges ng kanilang wildcard picks.

Ang anim na contestants na pinakanta muli ay sina Jen Hirsh, Jeremy Rosado, Brielle Von Hugel, Deandre Brackensick, Erika Van Pelt, at Reed Grimm.

Pagkatapos ng kanilang performance ay pumili na ang tatlong judges ng kanilang sariling choices.

Ang pinili nila ay sina Erika (para kay Randy), Jeremy (para kay JLo), at Deandre (para kay Steven).

Ang mga hindi naman nakapasok sa finals ay sina Adam Brock, Baylie Brown, Hallie Day, Eben Franckewitz, Creighton Fraker, Haley Johnsen, Chase Likens, Aaron Marcellus, at Chelsea Sorrell.

Sa loob ng 11 seasons ng American Idol ay marami nang Filipino-Americans ang nakapasok sa finals.

Ilan sa kanila ay sina Jasmine Trias, Camille Velasco, at Thia Megia.

    She's really good. Ingat sa choice of song doon minsan nagkakatalo. I'm rooting for her together with Colton Dixon, Hollie Cavanagh and Philip Philips.

    Magaling sya kumanta kaso hindi manlang ngumingiti,parang napagkakamalan na mataray at hindi humble.Sana mag smile naman sya sa camera kasi parang walang dating at face value kahit na maganda boses nya.Opinyon ko lang naman.

    So far she is the best American-filipino contestant sa American Idol. Very talented girl. I hope this time a filipino will win the title at siya siguro, lets just hope. Dito talaga magaling ang mga Pinoy, sa pagkanta. Go girl!

    past Fil-ams also include Ramielle Malubay, AJ Tabaldo etc. sayang di nakapasok this season si Ashley Robles. I wish GMA7 brings back Pinoy Idol. i believe it can compete very well with X Factor Philippines.

    Sana lang walang hocus pocus na maganap dahil wala pang nananalong asian or hispanic sa AI puro puti at itim. Last year, since day 1 obvious na mga country singers ang gusto nilang papanalunin lalo na yung mga manok ni Nigel Lithgoe na sina Alaina na obsessed sa kanyang cleavage 16 yrs. old pa lang yan huh! At si Scotty na boring.
