Tyler, one of the 3 judges of the hit talent show, predicted that Sanchez would be the last person standing after hearing her subdued but stunning version of Mariah Carey's "My All.”
"When you sing, you make people hang on your every note," Tyler said.
He added: “I hope you get used to encores. And on another crazy note, I think you'll be the last person standing there."
Tyler was also the only judge to give a standing ovation for Jessica for singing Tyler’s song “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.”
"You just took a great song and made it greater!” Tyler said.
Idol judge Jennifer Lopez said it was a big deal that Tyler liked Sanchez's rendition. She said the Aerosmith front man usually dislikes covers of his own songs.
Lopez also lauded what Sanchez did with the song’s last note. "That note at the end sent everyone to the heavens,” she said.
Fellow judge Randy Jackson applauded Sanchez for deciding to take tough hills to climb. “Dude, you delivered,” he said.
Sanchez has consistently received praise from the Idol judges. Last week, she received a standing ovation from the judges for her performance of the Broadway hit song “And I am Telling You.”
Lopez earlier said she would like to see a Jessica Sanchez-Joshua Ledet final.
However, her prediction did not come true as Ledet was eliminated from the competition. Sanchez is now part of Idol’s Final 2, opposite crooner Phillip Phillips.
She will be the first contestant of Filipino descent to make it to the finale of the popular reality television singing competition.
