For the finale, she gave a powerful rendition of Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga's Die with a Smile, besting nine other finalists and bringing home $1 million (~P58 million) in prize money. 

She also joined the 11th season of American Idol in 2012, where she placed second.

Sanchez joined the TV series Glee as a guest performer for two episodes toward the end of season 4. She played Frida Romero, the powerhouse lead of the Hoosierdaddies, the rival of Glee’s main glee club, New Directions.
