MANILA, Philippines—Filipino-Mexican Jessica Sanchez has made it to American Idol’s top 6 after surviving this week’s elimination.

The show, aired live on cable television channel StarWorld, saw Colton Dixon booted out. In the bottom three with Dixon were Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanagh.

Singing Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’” and Otis Redding’s classic “Try A Little Tenderness,” Sanchez got the nod of the three judges.

Jennifer Lopez said “I’m so glad you’re here with us. I’m so glad we had a save and I’m so glad we used it on you.”
