Jessica should sing: "And I'm Telling You", "A moment in Time" and any of Whitney's songs that can strike and show the range and power house that Jessica truly is!
i have no idea they r both great with any song that they sing! i have a few choices here they r: jessica for fav song of ai: i will always love you, everybody has a dream, sweat dream, or dance with my father again phillip fav song of ai: volcano, beggin, or maybe movin out
jessica should sing and im telling you again and volcano for philip..both choices were amazing and best performances from both of them
Jessica to sing and i'm telling you. Also Simon Fuller should give her "bridge over troubled waters" or "if i can dream" elvis style, because she wants her dream to come true right now. They both have the big variations which her voice can go through.
for Jessica i think ...AND I'M TELLING YOU this time with cool and slow body movements speaking to audience and judges owning the stage by walking through then giving the BIG MOMENT at the center stage hitting the last high notes...for PP i think VOLCANO...just sit with the guitar and wait for the final eruption....young girls and not so young will scream...BOOM!!!!
I hope Jessica sings either "Sweet Dreams" or "Dance with my Father." Not "I Will Always Love You," her past performance of it would be difficult to surpass. Phillip should sing "Volcano." That's the only song he was able to sing wonderfully, regardless of what the judges say. Or "Disease," but it was just a passable performance.
i want jessica to sing "Broken Hearted Girl" by beyonce i really like this song for her! and for philip philips "broken strings" by james morrison and nelly furtado even though it's for duet i wanted him too sing it maybe jessica and philip duet w/ this song! :) ♥
i liked most jessica's version of "sweet dreams" by beyonce! it was excellent! i want "begging" for Philip philipps. ;)
Either "i will always love you" or "and im telling you" for jessica :) and for phillip either "volcano" or "we've got tonight" So excited for the finale! :)
I would love to hear jessica sing "and i'm telling you i'm not going" and phillip phillips' "we've got tonight"


for Jessica - And Im Telling YOu or Everybody has a Dream. for Philips - Have you ever seen the Rain
