Last year's American idol runner-up (some would argue its robbed, "real" winner), Jessica Sanchez returned to the stage which birthed her celebrity to perform her first single, the Ne-Yo assisted Tonight.
Despite having a voice on her, I'm surprised to see that Sanchez went for an upbeat number that isn't particularly challenging on the ol' chords as a first single choice. But I can see why she chose to do that. Not only are our big voiced Divas not really selling at the moment (bar Adele), but in going upbeat it allows the teenager to embrace her youth, remain relevant, all while showing everyone that she isn't only a ballad singer. All in all, an accomplished performance that showed just how at home Jessica Sanchez is on a big stage.
As for the song, I'm with Mariah (who is looking stunning, FYI): it's okay, but nothing worth getting up for.
