You get better and better. 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 Sofia Vergara said following Jessica&#x27;s semi-finals performance.</p><p>Judge Simon Cowell described the Filipino-American singer&#x27;s &quot;Golden Hour&quot; rendition as a &quot;moment performance.&quot;</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; he remarked.</p><p>Jessica, now in her ninth month of pregnancy, has been balancing the competition with her journey to motherhood.</p><p>The singer recently took to social media to reflect on her journey. </p><p>&quot;Today I officially step into my 9th month of pregnancy ✨ My heart is overflowing with gratitude for all the love and kind words that have been pouring in. I never imagined I’d be spending these final weeks of pregnancy away from home, in the middle of such an exciting competition. I truly believe God’s plan is greater than my own. This journey has been so unexpected, yet so beautiful, and I wouldn’t have it any other way,&quot; she posted on her Instagram page on September 15.</p>
