"American Idol" runner-up Jessica Sanchez has booked a recurring role on "Glee." The 17-year-old vocal powerhouse may have lost to Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips earlier this year, but she has won a coveted spot on the Golden Globe-winning program.

Although the details of her character have not been divulged, "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy took to Twitter about a possible themed episode now that Sanchez is on board. He wrote, "Jessica Sanchez on Glee. With voices like Jessica, Lea, Naya, Melissa, Amber, and Jenna... Streisand episode?"

"Glee" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. "American Idol" returns in January 2013 on FOX.

Let's correct the Article everyone. Jessica Performed at the DEMOCRATIC National Convention. Jessica will soon be in the 1% but will always stand by the Party that fights for the Middle Class and Less Fortunate, DEMOCRATS

Good for her. Don't care for her. Don't like her. All she does is scream.

She is too divaish for her age.  She isn't there yet.

Jessica has an amazing voice, should have won Idol, and she seems overqualified for Glee.

Not that it matters... but Jessica sang at the DEMOCRATIC National Convention, not Republican.

Would take more than six teeny-bopper voices to even come close to the immense talent of Ms. Streisand...why not assign them to do an Annette Funicello show...that might equal their abilities
