Jennifer Hudson's tweet to Jessica Sanchez

It's really overwhelming for someone to receive a tweet especially from a well known singer such as Jennifer Hudson. That might be what Jessica Sanchez felt when she received a tweet from Jennifer Hudson. When Jessica Sanchez took the stage and perform the Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" - she got a cheer from the famous Jennifer Hudson. She then tweeted "Yes Jessica! That's it!" Jessica learned about it and had an emotional reaction.

"Me and my uncle were in the same room when we saw the Tweet and we were like, crying and freaking out," Jessica told AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman, backstage after last night's show. "She's one of my idols. It's crazy." When asked why she chose the song "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston, she answered, "I was very confident of my choice at first because I was like, 'Everyone knows this song, it'll go good, whatever. I've been singing this song my whole life,'""But then I started realizing it's like one of the biggest songs.... But it really did pay off. I'm really happy." As for the standing ovation from the audience, Jessica said she was so caught up in the moment she didn't really notice what was going on. "I didn't see it coming -everybody did amazing tonight," she said. "I'm so grateful and I'm just so happy and I'm just living in the moment right now."

As a Filipina, I'm was so proud about what our kababayan has reached. Thinking about what Jennifer Hudson tweeted Jessica Sanchez gives me the chills.

Go Pinay! Go Jessica Sanchez!
