That was hot. Might actually get her out of the bottom 3 for a week.

I thought Syesha was brilliant tonight. And that dress… amazing!

Syesha is my favorite girl on the show and I’m not afraid to say it. I am a Syesha fan. I AM A SYESHA FAN!

I thought she started out well! But starting from 1:21 it was falling apart for me, and the worst part was at 1:54. (audio file)

IMO, should not pick an upbeat song for musical songs, as there is so much emotion you could give. Also, the song she picked is not as popular as the rest that the other contestants picked.

Haha, Rickey, as of this posting, you’re off by 8 fans (but I’m not voting for anyone, so back down to 7). Syesha did a fabulous job with this one—Broadway is perfect for her. She made such a weird comment to ALW when she was deciding which way to do the song. Why was she worried about being too animated? “this is American Idol you know.” I didn’t get that at all, but maybe that explains why she doesn’t seem to be connecting? I’m glad ALW urged her to inject her personality into it.

It’s about time she put some personality into it. I don’t understand why she was so hesitant to do it before…

Wow!!! Syesha! I knew you had the vocal chops, but you really put it out there, dawg! Amazing stage presence & ‘personality’ as the judges stated.:)

ALW night is a Touchdown this week providing a song opportunity tailored to showcase this beautiful artist’s generally undervalued & underscored talent. Wow!

And another Wow to you Rickey! I [bow] to your ability to place ‘Syesha bias’ over there somewhere & properly assess her performance this evening. I was stunned then impressed with your honest critique of her performance in the post heading. And even YOU must begrudgingly admit that she has fans… that’s right, Rickey! F-A-N-S!!! Multiple people who support & vote for her!

It’s true, Rickey. Thanx for posting her vid along with the MP3!

I’m usually on DC threads, but wanted to give a shout out to Syesha. She was great. Glad she had such a good night.

She was so awesome tonight. Definitely the best performance of the evening! She really needs to get into broadway stuff when Idol is over.

“Syesha Mercado was awesome! Okay fan — do your stuff, vote a million times.”

LOL…Absolutely hilarious.

She did do a great job! One of my 2 favorites of the night!

But, does that mean people who recognize she did a great job will vote to save her? Probably not. Everyone is too busy saving their favorites.

Of the (now 13) comments; it appears less than half might have tossed her votes. So, yes, maybe 6 fans.

Fortunately for Syesha (and rightfully deserved this week actually), thetrainwecktheycallBrooke has likely crashed and burned.

SYesha was ’sexy’ alot of men will vote i guess,..lol just kidding, she was nice, love her hair too

I am rewatching idol as I do every Tuesday super paying attention to every performance with head phones on and everything….analyzing every little thing. I just watched Syesha’s performance and performance wise it was quite good. I would in fact say her best. She should do something that involves theatrics. It would be a real shame if Syesha was voted off instead of Brooke. I still don’t think that Syesha is as vocally gifted as Syesha thinks she is. Performance wise though, tonight I must give the girl props upon close examination (by comparison to her other performances). Quite good indeed. Great job hamming it up. Very nice.

DAFTW!

I’m from Malaysia are not watching her performances yet.It will be in air tommorow night(Thursday 23, 2008) and the result Friday night ( Thursday 24, 2008).I thought she did great job.And I believe not only TOP 4 but she will be in TOP 3.Believe me…

Carly Smithson, David Archuleetaa and Jason Castro and yes one, Brooke White..three of you will be in bottom 3.Really..

Syesha looked AMAZING! She played to the song very well, too. I think her vocals had some issues (the last “toll” was very rough), but it was one of her best performances! She is definitely showing why she deserves to be in the top 6!

Syesha’s best performance by far. You know what, her acting got her through this. Great comments and direction from ALW, she played it sexy and brought it. Now, in my opinion, she needs to stay in character. She kept jumping in and out, and it was a little distracting. But overall, I enjoyed her performance. Nice vocals, good interpretation (she could have put a little more emphasis on her words and used even more emotion in her performance), and this was definitely an improvement for Syesha. Good job! Should keep her out of bottom 2. I see Brooke leaving tonight with Jason next if based on last night’s performances.

Still see 2 Davids in finale with David Cook to win (he made me like ALW music!)

I’m a Cook fan but I have to say Syesha was actually pretty good this week. As long as my Cook isn’t in the bottom 3 I’m a happy camper- how could he possibly be? Dude, the vocal range!!!

With that performance though, I really think that she shouldn’t be in the bottom 3 this week.

That said, DC FTW! Just crown him already!

I haven’t liked Syesha at all, but I loved this performance. This is definitely her niche.

I love her. I want to see her in top 3 with David C and David A.

If all is right in the world, Brooke will go home this week and Syesha will be here next week to continue to prove she belongs in the top AI’s.

Syesha used ALW’s comments and produced a sexy performance that is unquestionably her best of the season. I was able to connect with her during this performance. She was really, really good.

My favorite to win is still David Cook, though. It’s unfortunate for Syesha that she has to compete with a musical genius that comes around only once in a generation. I think David Cook is the next Beatle.

I will say that if Syesha could have competed in any other AI season, she might have had a chance to win.

Is it just me, or did it seem like she anticipated her cue to start singing at the beginning and wasn’t with the band? She then held her note a little longer and caught up with the band.
