IMO, P2 has potential BUT imo, he’s a lazy singer and there’s a difference between mellow style and moments of laziness where he could try for more intensity in his mellow. When P2 sang We’ve Got Tonight, he was pitchy and it wasn’t that high. PP if he wins will have to step it up cuz lazy doesn’t sell no matter how “it” he may be.

Good summary. Thanks for the comments/opinions
Jessica Sanchez has artistry in spades, musicality most singers will never know, and so much humility that she couldn't believe she made it through to the final two. After she made the finals she said, "I have never in my life thought I'd be in this position. Thank you so much!"
She's a Navy kid who obviously couldn't afford to have her teeth fixed prior to the show. She has said that she has very few friends and that all she knows how to do is sing. She is shy, she's an object lesson in humility...and she's 16 years old with an astonishing gift, which could go to most teenagers' heads.
When she was saved by the judges and JLo grabbed the mic, she thought the reason they weren't letting her sing was because they hated her and wanted her off. She said this. Anyone suggesting otherwise is projecting their own duplicity onto an innocent.
It sounds like she meets all your criteria to be an Idol.
Suggesting that she's attracting the "dirty old man" vote is cheap-shottery at its most disgusting.
