Jessica Sanchez and Ne-Yo Collab Out Any Day Now

MANILA, Philippines – “American Idol” Season 11 runner-up Jessica Sanchez is finally releasing her debut single this month, a collaboration with no less than R&B artist Ne-Yo.
“We've been working hard on that album. I've been working on it since the tour and we just finished finalizing it and making it perfect for all the supporters. It's coming out in May in the States and hopefully it will be released around the same time here,” the 17-year-old Filipino-Mexican singer said in an interview with "Mornings@ANC."
The title of the song is "Tonight" which the singer described as having a young vibe.
“I just wanted to show people that I'm still young and fresh...(it) is more like a fun, clubby dance song.”
She added: “The album consists more of a younger sound, it will be radio-friendly. There are still ballads... but I definitely wanted to go for what I always wanted to do -- more radio-friendly, more showing like I'm still 17, just have fun and dance.”

Colton Dixon will spend Valentine's day in Philippines

“American Idol (AI) ”seventh placer Colton Dixon is back in Manila as  special guest AI runner-up Jessica Sanchez’s first solo concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Thursday, February 14.

And he is amazed that the Christian population is making its presence felt in the country.

“I actually didn’t know how much big the Christian population is here. That’s amazing and encouraging to me. I would love to be back as often as I can,” Colton said in a roundtable interview with the press in Edsa Shangri-la Hotel on Tuesday, February 12.

Although Colton is upfront with his Christianity, he doesn’t want his songs to alienate people with different beliefs.

“I didn’t want to necessarily seclude anybody. Definitely, I just want to put something positive. I’ve heard so many music today which talk about all the wrong things, it may be great music, but lyrically it might strike a wrong chord. So, I just want to put something out there to encourage you and wake up every morning with a smile,” Colton said.

Colton added his inspirational album, like his debut CD “A Messenger” is “not necessarily” there to promote his faith. The inspirational theme just came naturally as he was writing the songs.

His single “Never Gone” became number one on the Itunes
