American Idol Season 11 had its 2-night premiere, January 18 and 19, 2012, with Steve Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson returning as judges and still hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
The American Idol Season 11 premiere episodes only showed who made it to the Hollywood round from the auditions held in North Charleston, South Carolina and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, but weeks before the premiere, some 'Idol' fan sites have already leaked the contestants who made it to American Idol Season 11's Top 42 list.
One of those sites is VoteForTheWorst.com which has the spoiler list of the Top 42 contestants, those who made it to the "Sing-For-Your-Life" round.
It's the round after the Las Vegas round (Top 60) and before the Top 24 is revealed.
And we, here in the Philippines, have something to get so much excited about as 16-year-old Filipino-Mexican Jessica Sanchez (photo) from San Diego, California reportedly made it to the Top 42 (and even in the Top 24).
A wildcard contestant in America's Got Talent Season 1, Jessica Sanchez is close friends with American Idol 10 finalist Thia Megia and Justin Bieber's ex-girlfriend Jasmine Villegas. Thia and Jasmine are also partly-Filipino.
Thia Megia Network has a kiddie photo of the three:
A name of another Top 42 contestant, Alex Borja, sounds Pinoy, but he's reportedly a Mexican.
