Just minutes after the “American Idol” coronation on Thursday, the hashtag #WorldIdol was among the top trending topics in the microblogging site Twitter.

I believe that Jessica Sanchez has won the enthusiastic support of a lot of people all over the world and she will have a great career ahead of her even without the “American Idol” crown.

If Phillip Phillips  is the season 11’s American Idol, then I guess Jessica Sanchez is the World Idol of all seasons.
