With Season 12 American Idol in Full Swing, the timing is right to post my Exclusive Interview with Season 11 Runner up, Jessica Sanchez and one of my Faves, Erika Van Pelt.
Jessica, 17, is originally from Chula Vista, California. Prior to appearing on American Idol, Sanchez competed in the first season of America's Got Talent at the age of 11. She is currently signed to Interscope Records.
Erika, 27, is from South Kingstown, Rhode Island, who placed in tenth place on the eleventh season of American Idol. Van Pelt was eliminated on March 22, 2012, after cutting her usually shoulder length locks to a pixie cut, courtesy of Tommy Hilfiger.
I chatted with Both at Seattle's Key Arena just before the concert in July 2012.
UPDATE:
According to WIKI, in October 2012, it was announced that Sanchez will have a recurring role in the fourth season of Glee. Sanchez released a new music video for the song "Jump In" with The Black Eyed Peas member apl.de.ap. The music video was shot in September 2012 in the Philippines when Sanchez visited Manila for the American Idol Live Tour. The song and video were released in the Philippines on October 20. Sanchez performed at the 26th Annual Carousel Ball of Hope, City of Hope Spirit of Life Awards Gala, 2012 BAFTA Los Angeles Brittania Awards and the Trevor Live event by the Trevor Project. Sanchez's debut single will be released around February 2013, with a 16-track album coming later in the spring. She has also confirmed that Ne-Yo will appear on one of the songs on the album.
Van Pelt teamed up with American Idol season three top 10 finalist John Stevens to perform with the Beantown Swing Orchestra in a holiday concert in Providence, R.I. on December 9, 2012.
