And then there were three.
From thousands of hopefuls, three contestants have been chosen to vie for the much coveted American Idol Season 11 crown, and one of them is Filipino-Mexican-American Jessica Sanchez.
Out of 70 million votes cast Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), Sanchez emerged in the top three along with Phillip Phillips and Joshua Ledet.
All of them will perform next week to determine who will be the two finalists to vie for the AI crown.
Hollie Cavanagh got the lowest number of votes and was eliminated.
By being in the top three in this year’s American Idol, Sanchez has achieved what Fil-Am Jasmine Trias did before. Trias also made it to the top three in American Idol Season 3.

Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson only had good words for the petite 16-year-old.
"Another winning performance. Just over the top," Tyler said.
"With a performance like that there is nothing to say. That was amazing," Lopez added.
Jackson said, "This is one of the hardest songs to sing. You got up there and slayed it."
