It was really a “Stuttering” moment in American Idol’s Top 7 performance night last Wednesday, April 11. Everybody thought that Jessica gave an amazing performance. And some celebrities even had these awesome statements about her performance:

·         “You’ve got so much control for that age... She’s going to be a legend someday…” – Akon

·         “You set the bar really high… You did an amazing job… You slayed the biggest fish of the night” – Randy Jackson

·         “Every time I hear you sing, I forget where I am… You slay it every time...” – Steven Tyler

·         “That was really beautiful… Take America on a ride…” – Jennifer Lopez

Her rendition of “Stuttering” by Jazmine Sullivan was so exhilarating. She showed a lot of emotion while performing and she was able to hit those big notes with such ease.

It seemed to be clear that Jessica would be safe from elimination this week. But the biggest shock of all was when Ryan announced Elise safe from elimination, not Jessica. Everybody’s jaws dropped, especially the judges, after hearing this.

 As it was time for her to sing her last song, Randy, Jennifer and Steven all went on stage to the audience’s surprise. “You’re not going home! Go sit down!” says Jennifer. They have saved her from elimination. It turns out that the judges get 1 saving vote to use for the season, and they have can use this vote before the Top 5, according to Ryan. So the judges used their saving vote on Jessica because they believe that Jessica is a great singer.  This girl has a lot of talent and she would definitely go far with it. And Randy had this to say in saving Jessica: “We are saving Jessica without any doubt! This girl is one of the best singers in America. Ever!
