MANILA, Philippines – Filipino-Mexican-American singer Jessica Sanchez wore an Oliver Tolentino creation for one of the rounds of the “American Idol” performance night on Wednesday (Thursday morning in Manila).
In an interview with “Mornings@ANC,” ABS-CBN North America correspondent Yong Chavez said Sanchez wore Tolentino’s creation when she sang the Mariah Carey hit “My All.”
“Actually, when I tweeted that she was wearing a beautiful purple gown, I didn’t know yet that it was Oliver Tolentino who designed it," Chavez said. “I asked her mom who made the gown because it was really fantastic. Then I got a call from Oliver himself and he confirmed to me that he made it.”
Tolentino is a Hollywood-based Filipino designer who has dressed celebrities such as Jenna Ushkowitz, one of the cast members of “Glee” and, most recently, actress Anna Paquin.
Last year, his creations were worn by the contestants of hit fashion reality show “America’s Next Top Model.”
Sore throat
Sanchez came into tonight’s “Idol” show nursing a sore throat, which she admitted on Twitter the day before.
And in the Carey song, it was obvious that Sanchez did not seem to be her usual self.
“It was obvious that she was still enduring something. But she was still praised by the judges,” said Chavez, who watched the rehearsals of the “Idol” Top 3 before the show.
Sanchez, however, still got rave reviews from the judges for her three performances.
The 16-year-old San Diego native even got a standing ovation from judge Steven Tyler for her subdued performance of Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing."
Aside from “My All” and "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing," Sanchez also sang “I’ll Be There” by The Jackson 5.
