Jessica is good and upcoming but very inexperienced yet.Phillip is amazing ,a true artist and very much deserved this now.Remember in spite of all the excuses some peeps want to make why Jessica did not win this is the second not the first time she was voted off. Yes those same judges some accuse of being bias are the only ones who saved her earlier with the save not America and not America again. So get over it and I will be standing in line to get Phillips CD's :)

Gotta love Philip's creativity!  I'm ready to buy his CD - bring it on!

please remind us again what is the rule in the 3rd song - I always thought it should be an original composition :(

could we have 2 american idols, they are both equally good, the best!

judges are keep on praising Philip even his performance is not the good - specially, if the band and the background singers are not around. 

OH MY GOD IM STILL WAITING,,,BUT FOR ME JESICA IS THE WINNER, YOU ARE THE BEST JESICA..GO...GO...GO...WE PROUD OF YOU!MABUHAY KA JESICA..GOD BLESS

yahoo! Philip you're the best...total package...

I'm glad Hollie made 4th. She deserved to least be in top 4 after all she went through. Hollie is a fighter and she earned her spot in the top 4. You go girl =)

America is getting it wrong. no le estoy quitando el talento a Phillip porque es muy buen artista pero dios mioo reacciona America Joshua lo sentia mas que cualquiera el se lo merecia y jessica canta como un angel piensen piensen un poquitoo.

this is bejaneth from the Philippines currently staying in Qatar, I and the OFW in the Middle East are the fan of Jessica Sanchez.YOu are so amazing..We love your voice...God Bless always..

Its a bummer how Joshua was eliminated on Thursday.  He was a amazing singer. But he's probably going to be famous even without American Idol.  Now i want Philip Philips to win.

Goodluck phillip phillips <3 u deserve to win.. with such a unique voice, lovely personality, humble.. what's not to like? <3 haters gonna hate

im disapointed to josh is my bet!!sorry...jessica&philip....good luck:) hi aunty sylvia muah!!@

Jessica Sanchez all the way!!  Show them Jessica!  I will vote for you via text, land lines and online.  Go go go Jessica.  You are the next AI.

Those who made this into a racial matter, you should sit in front of the mirror and analyze yourself. If she is here in America and have not been deported from the show, it is obvious she is an American. NO matter what it is... At her age she has more vocals than most artist(s) out there right now. I would really like to see all the negative people commenting to try out for idol & I am 100% sure that none of you have balls to. Get a life! Go, Jessica. Go, Phillip. Goodluck, Josh!

EVERYBODY.. LET'S MOVE ON. IT HAS BEEN DECIDED JESSICA VS PHILLIP. EVEN WITH ALL THE SYMPATHY COMMENTS TO JOSHUA WILL NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT HE'S JUST THE 3RD TOP IN THIS CONTEST.  LETS JUST ENJOY THE MOMENT COZ WE'RE ALL PARTS IN MAKING THE DREAM OF JESSICA  OR PHILLIP A REALITY!!! PAX!!!!

JOSHUA IS GREAT IN LIVE PERFORMANCES... ANYBODY WATCHING HIM WILL BE ENERGIZED TO STAND UP & GET CRAZY. BUT BOTTOMLINE, IT'S A WORLDWIDE BUSINESS. I DONT THINK ANY PRODUCER WILL SELL AN ALBUM OF JOSHUA IF ALL HIS SONGS WILL HAVE  SCREAMING OR BELTING TOWARDS THE END? THE PROBLEM WITH HIS ACTS DURING THE COMPETITION IS ITS VERY PREDICTABLE. NOT EVEN ONCE DID HE SING A SOFT OR MELLOW  TYPE OF SONG. I DONT RECALL ANY STANDING OVATION OF THE JUDGES WHERE HE SANG A BALLAD SONG WITHOUT BELTING TO A POINT OF SCREAMING!!! HE SHOULD BE VERY THANKFUL HE REACHED TOP 3.  HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN VOTED OFF EARLIER FOR REDUNDANT PERFORMANCES. TO EACH HIS OWN, THAT HOW I ANALYZE IT.

This is Friday and Joshua was voted off. What was America thinking??? Joshua clearly is the American Idol in my book. Almost each time he performed he received a standing ovation from the judges and the audience. He is out of this world. I can not wait to buy his first cd. 'This is a man's word' is his best performance then and now!

PHILLIP ALL THE WAY

GUYS, THIS IS AMERICA'S GOT TALENT.... SO WE MUST VOTE THE RIGHT PERSON..... I strongly believe in my own opinion, JESSICA SANCHEZ DESERVES TO WIN........... PLS VOTE THE RIGHT PERSON WHO DESERVES TO WIN.... VOTE JESSICA.....  PLSSSSSSSSSSSS.

so amazing having JESSICA SANCHEZ...

So america has decided to favour the girl........this is crazy

how can u compare Joshua n Phillip.....................................Even a deaf can hear..................... feeeeeeeeeeew Americans

AMERICAN IDOL SUCKS BY SENDING HOME THE PIPO WHO DESERVE TO WIN....... GOSH JOSHUA THIS IS THE BEGINNING LOOK WAT TURN OUT TO JENNIFER HUDSON.....DO UR THING IF ITS GOSPEL OR JAZZ SOUL I'M HERE WAITING FOR UR FIRST SINGLE

hey guys! who voted out please tell me i wasn't able to watch becauz of my job

GOOD BYE JOSH, No should I say solong!!!! you will make it keep your head  up and keep it moving.

OMFG i can't believe this yo really america joshua's out but im proud of him of how he made it this far waiting for you to make ur own music so i can download it i have almost all ur AI sond especially the one u scream and singin with ur tongue great job. jessica now you  girl congrat

over the top :)

Guys , you  were not born yesterday! In this kind of competition,HALF OF AMERICANS ALWAYS CHOOSE --- " WG - WG'  WHITE GUYS WITH GUITAR,its their culture so expect P2 to win! SO IT COULD BE 1.P2 2.JESS 3.JOSH.

melanie amaro of xfactor and jessica sanchez of american idol are both voteed off once, but because of their talent and extrordinary voice they end up as winner.

Phillip is great he does not need Idol title Jessica has a great voice Joshua needs the title but he a screamer screamer good for church that's all.

Randy does not belong as a judge on AI. Tired of "Yo Yo keeping it real" Randy...comon man!  I think that Jennifer and Steve are tired of it too.

Congratulations to all three finalists! Doesn't matter who wins, if they all get the right songs and management they will all have great careers.  They can all sing! My personal favorite is Phillip - he knows who he is as an artisit and is ready to move forward and I have enjoyed listening to his songs the most. He is a fighter and true to himself.  Jessica has a great voice, she is very talented - she just needs experience and to mature some -  I don't wish her to become a "pop princess" she is better than that. I'm not sure how Josh will transfer to mainstream music - R&B? I guess and he will do a great job.  HIs voice is amazing when he is not over-singing. I didn't get a feel for him during the season though I did enjoy some of his performances.  He is already almost guarenteed a contract with Iovine; Jessica got a lot of praise from guest artisits so she should have no problem getting a contract.  Phillip has gotten the least amount of public praise from the judes and Iovine I feel - so maybe he will win - but then again sometimes the runner ups have fared better than the winners! Anyway, congratulations to all three and I can't wait to hear Skylars album! LOL

Josh it 2012 American Idol!

my prediction for the final next Tuesday: Phillip vs. Jessica..

Josh and Phillip to the finals!!
