No hurt feelings here! Jessica reveals exactly what she was thinking when the judges called Phillip’s name! Read on for ALL the details!
Jessica Sanchez is such a good sport!
She really couldn’t be more proud of her fellow American Idol finalist.
“When they announced that it was Phillip, I was so happy… that’s why I gave him a big hug and I was smiling the whole time. I was like ‘This fool is going to win and I love him so much,’” she said.
While the two have both worked incredibly hard to make it to the finals, Jessica says Phillip truly deserved this win.
“He deserved it. Like literally, he has worked harder than all of us. We’ve all been working hard, but he’s been having to deal with his health issues, with his kidneys, and I think he’s been thorugh a lot more than us mentally and physically,” she said.
We’re happy to hear that Jessica is so happy for Phillip! We’re sure she’s going to on go to great things, too!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Do you agree with Jessica?

She is just being professional. Everyone except for 12-year old girls know that Phil Philips had no business even being in the top 24.
This was so ridiculous that American Idol producers announced a week after the finale that they now recognize they need to make major changes to the voting process so that the most talented singers can again win, and they will be changing it next year to put a stop to this ridiculousness of these crappy singers being power-voted by hormonal girls. Their viewership is dropping like a rock because America knows idol stopped being singing competition five years ago.
Notice that in the month after Idol, Jessica Sanchez has been getting invited to perform at huge national events numerous times, and has multitudes more press coverage. America knows who the winner of the Singing Competition is. Phil Philips simply won the hearts of the power-voting teenyboppers.
