"American Idol" finalist Jessica Sanchez will perform today at her hometown Chula Vista, south of San Diego, California.

Sanchez, will hold the concert at 11:30 a.m. PST at the Eastlake High School's football stadium where 10,000 people are expected to attend.

On Friday evening, she landed at the stadium in a helicopter and it was her first ride in one.

“It was scary at first, but I got used to it. And I was just thrilled to land in San Diego,” Jessica said, according to the local Fox station.

"Our community is thrilled to welcome home Jessica, she is already Chula Vista's Idol," said Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox in a statement.

Sanchez is the only contestant to have received a "save" vote from the judges this season. Now she is the last female and will compete in the semifinals next week.

The two other finalists Joshua Ledet and Philip Phillips will also be visiting their hometowns.

Ledet is from Westlake, Louisiana and Phillips from Leesburg, Georgia.
