You get better and better your. It&#x27;s perfection. Your voice, your little belly, your story. I mean, there&#x27;s nothing I would change about you. How do you do your singing? So amazing. I&#x27;m so happy for you,&quot; judge Vergara said.</p><p>Mandel and Mel B were also impressed by Sanchez&#x27;s beautiful vocals, saying that it was &quot;magical.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I believe in exactly what Simon said to you the last time. First of all, you look beautiful tonight. And, secondly you sound beautiful, but he said with the right song choice, you could take this all the way and be the million-dollar winner. America&#x27;s going to decide whether that was the right song choice. For me, it&#x27;s just the choice. And hopefully they love that song more than me,&quot; Mandel said.</p><p>&quot;Well, can I just say your vocals were just magical? They really were. You have a range that&#x27;s very similar to Mariah Carey, you can go up, down, and around the corners, and you always land on point. Now, whether that song affected everybody the way you wanted it to, I&#x27;m not sure, but I could see that that it affected you and that&#x27;s the most important thing. I was beautiful,&quot;  Mel B shared.</p><p>For Cowell, he believes that Sanchez made the right song choice and described it as &quot;moment performance.&quot; He also praised Sanchez for not giving up and believes she will make it to the finals.</p><p>&quot;I loved the song choice actually. Genuinely, I really did. For me, it showed a different part of your voice. That&#x27;s what I call a kind of a moment performance, genuinely. And you know what&#x27;s brilliant about you Jessica, is not only you are talented, you&#x27;ve never given up over all these years, and you could have done, but you haven&#x27;t. You kept going. Timing is everything, by the way. And, importantly, you are very, very likable. You know everyone I talk to is talking about you, how much they like you. So, I think we are going to be seeing you next week,&quot; Cowell said.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758079353900Jessica1.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"/></div><p>In the show, Sanchez also shared her thoughts as she goes through two life-changing moments at the same time.</p><p>&quot;I  mean this is so exciting I keep telling my baby, I&#x27;m like  &#x27;Please just stay in there another week. God willing, I make it to the finals.&#x27; You know I&#x27;m just so blessed and grateful,&quot; Sanchez said.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/9/15/look-jessica-sanchez-flaunts-9-month-baby-bump-1115" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LOOK: Jessica Sanchez flaunts 9-month baby bump</a></div><p>Fans and followers of Sanchez are now waiting if their idol will be given chance to make it the finals as &quot;AGT&quot; will revealed the results on Thursday (Manila time).</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/9/3/jessica-sanchez-belts-ordinary-on-agt-s-live-quarterfinals-1131" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jessica Sanchez belts &#x27;Ordinary&#x27; on AGT&#x27;s live quarterfinals</a></div><p>Sanchez, a Chula native, was part of the hit show&#x27;s first season, where she also made it to the semi-finals.</p><p>In 2012, Sanchez also joined the 11th season of &quot;American Idol&quot; where she placed second. </p><p>The following year, she released her debut album &quot;Me, You &amp; the Music.&quot; She also appeared in the series &quot;Glee.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/7/17/jessica-sanchez-opens-up-about-pregnancy-after-agt-golden-buzzer-moment-1116" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jessica Sanchez opens up about pregnancy after &#x27;AGT&#x27; Golden Buzzer moment </a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/7/15/jessica-sanchez-gets-america-s-got-talent-s-golden-buzzer-reveals-pregnancy-0748" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jessica Sanchez gets America&#x27;s Got Talent&#x27;s golden buzzer; reveals pregnancy</a></div><p>Just recently, Sanchez went viral after belting the viral song &quot;Golden&quot; by fictional girl group Huntr/x from the popular Netflix animated film &quot;KPop Demon Hunters&quot; along with TikTok stars Anthony Gargiula and Jonathan Tilkin. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2025/8/29/jessica-sanchez-goes-viral-singing-golden-from-kpop-demon-hunters-1118" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jessica Sanchez goes viral singing ‘Golden’ from &#x27;KPop Demon Hunters’</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qRgF4SWs6Qw?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YBP7NvFsAQc?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7TJNNs6p22c?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
