While 16-year-old American Idol contestant Jessica Sanchez was beaten by 21-year-old Phillip Phillips during the reality TV show finale, Tweeps have taken the battle online and are showing her that she won something even more important: their love.
Microbloggers have declared May 24 Jessica Sanchez Day and are tweeting “American Idol got it wrong” and “That Should Be Jessica Holding the American Idol Trophy.”

The name of British author and columnist “Peter Hitchens” is at the top of the chart.
