It's a done deal: Jessica Sanchez, whose monster pipes and near-perfect pitch carried her all the way to a second-place finish on Season 11 of American Idol, has closed a deal to recur on Glee, TVLine has learned exclusively. There are no details on what role Glee executive producer Ryan Murphy might have in store for the 16-year-old California native or when she will first appear on screen. (Might she be the much-buzzed-about new love interest for Finn?!) RELATED | Glee Boss on ‘Break-Up’ Fallout: ‘Nothing is Set in Stone’ During her Idol run, Sanchez became an early front-runner on the strength of scorching Vegas-round renditions of “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” and “The Prayer,” followed by a spot-on rendition of “I Will Always Love You” on Whitney Houston night. Later, in a Top 7 week shocker, Ryan Seacrest revealed the girl who sometimes performed as her alter-ego Bebe Chez was the lowest vote getter, but the judges promptly vetoed America’s decision by using their sole “save” of the season. Sanchez then went on to steal the show during the Idol finale by virtue of a jaw-dropping duet with Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday on the Dreamgirls classic “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” RELATED | 14 Glee Questions We Want Answered Now! This marks Sanchez’s third time at the primetime rodeo. Back in 2006, she appeared as a contestant on the inaugural season NBC’s America’s Got Talent.

I'm not a huge glee fan, but I'm a big fan of Jessica's voice. More exposure/promo for Jessica is good by me.

Airhead

Excited

I want her debut album soon though.

Eww... She better not be Finn's love interest.

Ehhh, if she's really serious about her singing career, why is she going on Glee?? Seems kinda like a step down, but, I mean, I guess she's pretty much already faded since AI, so it's some good exposure

She hasn'tfaded since AI. She got good national exposure when she did those national anthems for Manny/NBA etc during the tour. But yeah this will get her back in the public eye.

She is recording her album right now.
