All year long, Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips have been doing weekly interviews and answering questions on American Idol’s website.
If you haven’t been checking back on a regular basis, you might have missed some fun facts about the two singers who will square off Tuesday night for the Idol title.
So let’s catch you up. Here goes …
Favorite Male Artist
Jessica: Eminem. He isn’t a singer but he raps with so much conviction and feeling.
Phillip: Probably Jonny Lang, because he has my favorite voice of any singer.
Favorite Female Artist
Jessica: Beyonce, she’s a very empowering woman, amazing performer and vocalist.
Phillip: Probably Hayley Williams (of Paramore), she can SAAAANNNNGGGG
The first concert you attended:
Jessica: Christina Aguilera
Phillip: Well it was the Showdown (they were ‘big’ to me).
What album would your friends be surprised you own?
Jessica: I guess the strangest album I own would have to be Etta James, only because she’s one of the older artists.
Phillip: Van Halen probably. Ha-ha, haven’t listened to it in forever. I bought it for one song.
What’s your dream song to perform:
Jessica: “How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore”
Phillip Phillips: My own songs
What’s been the most unique job/chore you’ve ever had?
Jessica: I’ve done a Cricket (cell phone) commercial. That was pretty fun!
Phillip: Working at my dad’s pawn shop. Ha-ha. So many different people and things come through there.
What’s the most challenging part of the show?
Jessica: Watching everyone leave. It sucks. The perk about that is we’re all going on tour after the show.
Phillip: Taking care of my health. Sometimes it gets a little tough. Just not getting too down about it.
Favorite mentors:
Jessica: My favorites have to be will.i.am and Akon because they’re, like, in my generation and understand the kind of music I want to make.
Phillip: It’s been interesting. Some were very good and some were not so good. Stevie Nicks was probably my favorite.
Favorite part about the Idol mansion?
Jessica: The closet is the best because I have tons of clothes and living in that hotel before was a no-no. I couldn’t fit my clothes anywhere.
Phillip: The ping-pong table. I used to be pretty good at it at one time.
Do you have a favorite quote, phrase or personal motto / words to live by?
Jessica: Work hard. Stay humble.
Phillip: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace; Jimi Hendrix said that I’m pretty sure.
