Jessica Sanchez: Finally, An Asian-Looking Worldwide Singing Superstar?


Well, technically, Jessica Sanchez is American but since her Mom is a Filipina, we do have license to embrace her as one of our own.  AND, dearies, just look at her!  Pinay na Pinay ang mukha!  I don't THINK she'd ever be mistaken for a Mexican (her Dad is Mexican) - AND - unless she opens her mouth and speaks - I don't think anyone would say - "Ahh, she's American."  So, that's the reason why she was immediately embraced here in the Philippines, although, sadly, I don't think she has ever been here (ganun ba sila kahirap? can't afford a trip home?  oh well.....or baka marami lang bills...) and I don't even know if she knows any Tagalog!  Que horror!

Anyway, I, like many other Filipinos are still rooting for her to win this edition of American Idol.  I think it's time we have an Asian-looking singing superstar!  It's really really about time!  All of our lives - it has always been a white female (Madonna, Lady Gaga, Cyndi Lauper, Mariah Carey) or an African-American with an astounding voice (Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin) - and once in a while - a sexy Latina (Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez).  But there has been no female singing superstar with global renown, YET, who looks Asian - and I think, because of the worldwide reach of American Idol, finally, Jessica Sanchez may just be the one to make that a reality!  And it's not like she's not up to the task!  Hell, she did Tina Turner's Proud Mary yesterday - at freakin' 16 years old!!  That took a lot of guts!!

Anyway, there are still some weeks to go for us to find out if she does make it, but as early as now - we all know we already have a superstar in our hands!  I can't wait to hear her first album!!
