  1. With the AI winner song given to Jessica entitled Change Nothing which means nothing is changed so that a WGWG (white guy with guitar) will still bag the AI title just like in the past consecutive seasons and with a nice winner song and production number with a band and sour comments from the judges, it is already insinuated that even before the voting started that Phillip will win the AI title, considering the show is entitled “American Idol” so that there really is a slim chance that an Asian could win it. But nonetheless, for sure, Jessica will have so many fat offers from various record producers, what with her so amazing voice and versatile talent! Congratulations, Jessica for having made it that far, you are still a winner much so to us your Pinoy and non-Pinoy fans and supporters! Good luck to a wonderful career ahead of you and GOD BLESS!

    Jessica may have the strongest and most powerful voice in the competition. Pero she lacks in emotion and personality. These two are the ones that will help you connect with the audience.

    I agree with you. Americans are originally Indians. So pure American is somewhat like Pocahontas.

  4. well deserved win.

  5.  To be fair PP is really good … but during the finale, Jes I believe
    is far better than he is.  Also, being a WGWG is an advantage for PP
    since day 1.  And it was not a surprise or shocker at all that he’ll
    ended up as the winner.  And during the finale, it is crystal clear that
    they want PP to win.  They really nailed down Jes, the final song that
    was given to her and the critique by the judges … wow, I have nothing
    to say.  And to top it all, the grandeur final number of PP was really
    damm good plus the standing O by the judges.  That sealed everything,
    the final verdict was given.

    Anyway, with the final songs, PP may have a better song as compared
    what Jes had, BUT Jes made the song beautiful … with that my hands
    down to Jes !!! Congrats to PP & Jes.  Hope both of you be
    successful with your respective careers …  Wish ko lang maiba na ang trend sa AI, it’s becoming boring, the WGWG always prevails.

  6. The reason why Jessica lost  because  the  majority of the voting public  are girls in their teens and they saw  Jessica as   a  threat  to their admiration of the cute boy P-Squared.  Jessica doesn’t  need a  title
    to  prove  her  worth . Let us just happy that she reached that  far and  let  us turn our anger  into figures,  by buying her CD and downloading her songs  thru Itunes.

  7.  I agree with you, they don’t want minority.

  8.  I agree with you, I see the differences against the minority.  Too many people here in America voted for Jessica but I don’t know what happen, when I tried to vote aGAIN IN JESSICA’S LINE , the line was busy for an hour.  I am curious about this.

  9. kay philip na ang title pero si JESSICa pa rin ang nagshine…

  10. Neither Jessica Sanchez nor P2 made their production number for their finale song…P2 has a better production number with a better finale song than jessica has.

    i agree that filipino’s are most talented person in the world….

    dapat 1 vote per sim kagaya nung sa PBB

    This is what I call close-mindedness. We hate racists but we are the number 1 racist. Grabe, this is the worst part of being a Filipino. Masyadong matataas ang ihi natin.

  14. anonymous // May 24, 2012 at 4:56 pm //

    We, Filipinos must learn how to accept defeat. Ang problema sa atin, masyado tayo egocentric. Gusto natin lagi tayo panalo. That’s never gonna happen.

    jessica sanchez may not won the title but in our hearts truly jessica wins, we love yo jessica

  16. Richard Lumbo // May 24, 2012 at 2:35 pm //

    I would better not watching AI anymore!

  17. Yup probably A1 is really the place for WGWG contestant. Now, I won’t be surprised if their rating will decline again as the show goes on for another season.

  18. grabeh1…philips voice was way far compared to jessica!…datz d disadvantage of voting…kung sino pa yung magaling sya yung di nanalo dahil kaunti lang ang fan base at kung sino pa yun di naman ganun ka galing at nagpapacute lang eh sya yung nanalo!…is it really LOOKS over TALENT nowadays?!!….yeah ther’s somewhat racism happened becoz the judges and the people knew that jessica is not a pure american!…so kailangan nilang itugma sa tema nilang AMERICAN IDOL ang dapat manalo and there u go: PHILIP PHILIPS!…

  19. Reddstern // May 24, 2012 at 2:17 pm //

    what if another pinoy makes it to top 12 next year ???? the aspiring fil-ams who wants to audition next season should learn from this season….its not enough that uve the best vocal but u must have charm and style to be a winner

  20. Reddstern // May 24, 2012 at 2:10 pm //

    CHANGE NOTHING IS THE TITLE OF THE SONG….fyi… philip deserves to win and now question is….is he gonna be like those past winners who did not make it to stardom????the pressure is with him…pressure is with AI producer….good luck….now…its gonna be shocker if jessica will make big time in hollywood….her vocal capabilities are versatile….philip is limited to his style….what i hope to happen is…come next year if both jessica and philip release their respective singles/albums this 2011….who will be nominated or perhaps win a grammy award for best new artist?????

  21. Pinkberry314 // May 24, 2012 at 1:59 pm //

    You people are just bitter since Jessica lost -_- I’m a filipino but I voted for Phillip and I’m not ashamed. His final song Home was definitely the BEST compared to Jessica’s Change Your Mind. It was definitely one of the best Idol finale songs and he deserved it. DON’T BE BITTER SINCE JESSICA LOST! SHE WILL STILL GET A RECORDING CONTRACT! -_- Sheez it’s not the end of the world she lost. She is just like another Charice, but Charice is better in my opinion. 

  22. Reddstern // May 24, 2012 at 1:56 pm //

     WATCH OUT FOR SEASON 12……WHO WILL BE THE NEXT AMERICAN WHITE GUY WITH GUITAR IDOL????

  23. What do you mean by pure American? You mean white and Anglo looking. People cannot be pure anything.

  24. Chesmangibin // May 24, 2012 at 1:16 pm //

    bobo mo

  25. Nadiamontoya // May 24, 2012 at 12:52 pm //

    Congratulations to the winner! Btw, it’s American Idol and therefore America idolized their own pure fellow citizen.

  26. Hello123 // May 24, 2012 at 12:42 pm //

    That’s crossing the line. Racism is out of topic here. It’s all about Phillips’ strong fan base. We should watch what we say, man.

  27. Biextian // May 24, 2012 at 12:33 pm //

    the message is clear that Americans wont allow other nationalities or countries to come better than them. They want to control the world militarily, economically, is entertainment and all other major things.

  28. PhillipsIsIt // May 24, 2012 at 11:32 am //

    Philipp is the complete package. Hes goodlooking thats why American teenage girls voted him. Move on guys, this is American Idol not Fil-Mexican Idol etc. 

    PP deserves to win.

  29. The song choice is so unfair to Jessica. The judges are orchestrated.

  30. Jessicaisstillthewinner // May 24, 2012 at 11:30 am //

    Boo Hoo!

  31. Opinion ko opinion mo // May 24, 2012 at 11:12 am //

     Phillip Phillips will
    absolutely have the America’s support since He is a pure American.
    Millions of Americans vs thousands of Filipino-Hispanic. No doubt 4
    hours of voting is not enough to suffice the numbers that Jessica needs.
    But never the less Jessica’s performances especially her voice will
    always be remembered. You’re still victorious Jessica! 🙂

    World Idol naman daw si Jessica sabi ni Simon Cowell

    Next time, give them the same winner’s song. It’s like Taylor Hicks season all over again. Bummer!

    The issue here is about ORIGINALiTY of the American Idol winner first single. He sang this song from somebody who already sang this song and even made it available on youtube. So, where is ORIGiNALITY of the song /// this is  Greg Holden song……

  37. AI is getting cliche. WGWG again? ill never watch this show again
