Jessica Sanchez may have come in second to Phillip Phillips on American Idol this past May, but she may just come out on top on another Fox show.

The 16-year-old singer is in negotiations for a multi-episode arc on the new season of Glee, TVLine reports.

According to the site, the Fox musical plans to have her join the cast midway through the first half of Season 4 following the end of the Idols Live concert tour. Her character would compete for solos with existing members of the cast. However, it's unclear if Sanchez's Glee alter ego would compete with New Directions members or be based in New York — where Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) will begin performing arts school in the fall.

This won't be the first time Glee has pulled from the Idol roster for casting. Series regular Amber Riley auditioned for the singing competition during Season 2. Before competing on Idol, Sanchez appeared as a contestant on the first season of America's Got Talent in 2006.

The new season of Glee kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 9/8c on Fox.

沪江娱乐快讯：尽管在今年五月的《美国偶像》赛场上，杰西卡·桑切斯惜败于菲利普·菲利普斯，但她马上就要加盟另一部FOX频道的热门剧集了。

据TVline报道，这位16岁的歌手有望加盟音乐喜剧《欢乐合唱团》第四季，并出演多集。

在结束《美国偶像》巡回演唱会后，她将于第四季中期加盟《欢乐合唱团》。她饰演的角色会和现有的演员们一同争夺独唱机会。她会是新航向乐队的对手，亦或是出现在纽约的新人物（蕾切尔将在纽约开始大学生活）？一切还不得而知。

桑切斯并不是《欢乐合唱团》中第一位拥有“美偶”历史的演员。“奔驰姐”安柏·瑞利就参加过《美国偶像》第二季。在参加《美国偶像》前，桑切斯曾于2006年参加第一季《美国达人秀》。

《欢乐合唱团》第四季将于9月13日晚9点回归FOX频道。
