MANILA, Philippines – Young singer Jessica Sanchez did not win this year’s American Idol, but her “killer duet” with Tony Award-winning actress Jennifer Holliday will likely be one of the most viewed clips from this season of the hit contest.

On Thursday, May 24, no one held back. It was pure divahood as they went back and forth, with their huge voices in full display as they sang And I Am Telling You.
