American Idol - Syesha Mercado - One Rock And Roll Too Many

[celisusplus273]

my baby named by u..my husband is a fan of you...

[siremersonlveras]

One of my favorite American Idol performances ever! :)) Syesha should've win this competition! :|

[fidget68]

One of my favorite American Idol performances ever!

[hotmess871]

i love her voice! i cant believe they put her out!

[dslite804]

I think Syesha's the only 3rd place contestant on Idol to not come out with any music yet! Cause..

Nikki McKibbin

Kimberly Locke

Jasmine Trias

Vonzell Solomon

Elliott Yamin

Melinda Doolittle

and Danny Gokey

have all come out with at least a few songs!

[lalamandelala121]

Has syesha come out with her  cd yet? u dont hear nuttin about her since Idol, and i really liked her.....I wanted her to win...

[Buckleigh]

its been announced that she will play DEENA in the latest touring production of DREAM GIRLS.

[wodahsking]

That was a PERFECT PERFORMANCE. The two David's could never pull off something like that. I predict that she'll be a SUPERSTAR 10 years from now and the 2 David's will be forgotten.

[mariamqwert]

Did she start singing a little too early...

[Lovett300]

just a little, but it was still gooddd

[sthughs]

yeah came in slightly off the beat and missed a couple of words...its actually "one night's sleep too few" but who cares it was a great performance and a great vocal.

[YaHaWooty]

She owned it.

[boston223]

she is fantastic

[phoenixrisingsun]

this was the first and last time we saw her perform...wow...chills the whole time.. I wish she could give this more...the best performance

[lovingum246]

UR GONNA BE THE AMERICAN IDOL!!!! I love you more then David A.

[sweetchik121]

I really hope Syesha wins!!! Even though people say that David Cook will I still think she will at least get top 2. HOPEFULLY!!!

[mariamqwert]

She did amazing here!!!

[tashybebo]

i love her and jason

[ajamaicanparadox1]

Hmm.. I think, she's real!!

[shellbug317]

She's not my favorite but she was awesome...This was a memorable performance, and it was fun to watch.

[srebrenika]

The hair!!!!! UGGGGH!!! ditch the hair. Toss the earrings into a hot furnace. Enough is enough. Both hideous and unnecessary. Keep the voice though.

[iluvbbqribs]

Why, why, why is this girl always in the bottom. She has one of the better voices, and shes likable at least I think so. That damn Brooke & Jason(their nice and I like them) but lets face it, their vocals.......un uh.......are not on point with everyone elses. Popularity Contest!!!!

[JasonCastroFTW]

what is wrong with her lol? shes so cocky.

[Tallactorboy27]

Umm...HELLO! She's supposed to be cocky. It's called giving the song attitude. If she didn't, the song wouldn't work. She rocks!

[Bealzabub]

Her attitude suits the song. "Nuff. Said.

[JasonCastroFTW]

no it doesn't. she was way too over dramatic! seriously she was bothering the guitar player! you don't do that!

[apolloherbs]

You obviously know nothing about Andrew LLoyd Webber or guitar playing

[JasonCastroFTW]

Haha.. I bet you didn't even know who he was until you saw him on AI.. You obviously know nothing about broadway and the way it's supposed to be done.

[apolloherbs]

I can't wait for Jason to get the boot!

[xonickjxo578]

i totally agree he is terrible i can not believe that he made it to the top ten

[Bealzabub]

Do you even know the origin of the song? Do you even know what part it plays in the story?

The song is SUPPOSED to be overacted.

[beccababy93]

I CANT STAND SEYSHA

SHE IS SO SNOBBY

AND like I AM BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE

[drcoxrox18]

this show pisses me off.... how was syesha in the bottom 2 with carly and brooke STOPPED ON LIVE TV?????

[sectorzg]

she's so good at facial expressions!

at 00:43 she gave me goosebumps!

[frizzydevil]

amazing.

[Tracy3686]

It'll be a travesty if she loses.

She is fabulous!

[flowerchild1994]

Woah...That rocked! She really used all she had to make an amazing performance.

Hahaha! I love Andrew Lloyd Webber. He cracks me up.

[sudler2008]

She truly commanded the audience. Unlike most of the other singers, she used everything to keep the audience engaged - her voice, the piano, wardrobe, the band, the entire stage! Notice how she moves around the stage - great stage presence! I agree with Chit7 - she KILLLED the song - TOTALLY! I am a big fan of Webber - now Syesha has won a fan too.

[desertflowerss]

wow!!!!!

[EiramAele]

i love this! hope she would stay this week.

[wmgrad2b]

Can't wait to see her on Broadway after she leaves the show.

[chit7]

omg SOMEBODY STOP ME I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS PERFORMANCE!!!lol. SHE KIILLLED IT. Brooke should seriously be worried. Everyone did better than her this week.

[chit7]

Oh and I deliberately misspelled killed to emphasise how well she did.

[lilNisha09]

i bet to can tear up a gospel song!!!! thats what i was too hear!!!

[SoFLYYY007]

dam, her doing so good guarentees brooke to go home

[kayla29]

great job syesha!=) i hope she'll stay longer, pls vote for her!!!

[TheWhimsicalX]

It's funny as the music rolls and she's like, "wait wait!!!!"

[talkabout2me]

Watch out for red hot sexy Syesha!!!

[shanellem21]

best contestant hands down!!!

[Romtf]

I LALALA LOVE IT

[1bulma1]

brooke should go out she is the weaket singer

[kaye87vids]

She and Carly did the best of the night. David Cook was alright, but like Simon said, it just wasnt his best performance, good but not great. Broadway is def Syesha's talent, she should go with that field.

[alexjason22]

syesha mercado is totally perfect this night!

just wondering why america can't see the giant

talent of this girl!

just like when tamyra gray, latoya london and vonzell solomon got eliminated in the past seasons...

in terms of vocal prowess they all deserve to win but america don't like them!

how come fantasia won, she's tremendously horrible!!

[purplerodriguez]

wow! wow! wow! what a fantastic performer. From the very beginning, she has been the very best!

[rocco210]

Good way to open the show. She was the best!

[BGrade15]

I'm from the UK, and if we had a singer like Syesha she'd hardly ever be in the bottom 3 on X-Factor (UK show). She's amazing, America. Please vote for her.

[mizukoinu]

Amazing performance! Syesha was the most fun to watch in tonight's show, IMO. I bet she's going to be successful along the lines of Jennifer Hudson in "Dreamgirls".

[forestfruits1]

This is BRILLIANT! Not only is a great to see Starlight getting some airtime on television, her performance was to die for. What a voice!

[kilay2000]

what an unforgettable performance!! WOW WOW!!!!

[00bibi00]

she's great this week :)

[Randalina1]

she is FABULOUS!!! I love syesha every week she is amazing, i hope she goes to broadway or something because she is great

[SwissSteph]

I knew from the beginning that this girl was the best in the group.

Absolutely mind-blowing. She needs to win.

[erjentapa]

amazing!

[deusinad]

Sheer class! No pop frills or enhancements. Wonderful.

[gande213]

Best of the night.

[Bealzabub]

Holy CRAP! It's a Starlight Express song! (I love this song.)

[541967]

I wondered where this was from. I'm only familiar with work that he wrote with Tim Rice (i.e. "Evita," "Jesus Christ Superstar," as well as "Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat")

[Bealzabub]

The lyrics for StEx are by Richard Stilgoe, with later revisions by Don Black and David Yazbek. This particular version is based off of the Broadway concept album.

I've never thought of a girl singing it before though.

[acslayton]

I usually hate her, but WOW! for once she's actually good on this show. I still hate her personality though. She seems so stuck on herself.

[paisleyyama]

The problem is she`s cut out for musical theater not American Idol. I don`t see her as a pop singer. This is the only week she`s shone b/c this is where her talent is on Broadway not making #1 hits.

[Bealzabub]

Agreed.

[littledrockers]

best performance of the night by a long shot!

[poeticmosher]

Brilliant. I think this is her future. LOVED it.

[SaraElizabeth07]

her voice REALLY shined tonight! I thought for sure she should go home... until now!
