Vocal power and range,  singer Jessica Sanchez definitely got the edge against the  country crooner Philip Phillips but sadly to say, the American Idol voting public feels other wise.

The soothing rocker voice and the stage charm gave Philip Phillips the winning advantage in bringing home the American Idol season 11 title during the  finale show held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California. (May 23/May24-Manila).

 A record breaking132 million votes  were cast after the last performance battle.

Meanwhile,  Jessica Sanchez  received a great news as she's now set to work on her first record under Casablanca Records co-owner and former Sony Records CEO Tommy Mottola. 

 Mottola's wife, Mexican singer/actress Thalia revealed on her Twitter account, 

"WOWgreat news! #TommyMottola just call me from #AmericanIdol & he is confirm to work in the first #JessicaSanchez CD!"
