Jessica Sanchez unleashes the passion on 'American Idol'

She is not messing around tonight; goes big from the get-go, then contrasts it with perfect vocal control. Such lethal power, one of those dangerous singers who you can't take your eyes off of.

She's my favorite contestant of the final seven; didn't give us a moment with that one and no standing ovation from the judges, but the audience loved it.

Was a little disappointed -- but only because I expect so much more from her than everyone else (except for Joshua Ledet), so what ranks as only a good performance for her would be great coming from anyone else.
