The 39-year-old, who recently guest mentored the singing reality show, said Sanchez is by far his favourite contestant this season, Daily Star reported. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/may/akon.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 556px; " /> Akon &quot;I know I shouldn&#39;t be saying this, but I kind of want her to get voted off so I can sign her. She&#39;s beyond the talent that&#39;s supposed to be there. I think she&#39;s overqualified, I really do. &quot;And she&#39;s only 16. I&#39;ve been around a lot of superstars. I haven&#39;t seen anyone at that age sing like that,&quot; he said. Sanchez was almost voted off the show earlier this month but she was saved by the judges.
