"Kris Allen has backed American Idol contestant Jessica Sanchez. Allen, who won the Fox show&amp;#039;s eighth season, praised Sanchez&amp;#039;s talent on Ryan Seacrest&amp;#039;s KIIS-FM radio show.   &amp;quot;I think Jessica is, like, by far one of the best singers that&amp;#039;s on the show,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;If not that&amp;#039;s ever been on the show.&amp;quot; Allen added: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s bananas.&amp;quot; The judges used their save earlier this month when Sanchez finished bottom of the viewer vote on American Idol. At the time, judge Randy Jackson described Sanchez as &amp;quot;one of the best singers in America ever&amp;quot;. American Idol continues tonight (April 25) at 8/7c on Fox.
