  • Syesha is such a good singer...Amazing...she is a much better singer than Simon's English protegee Leona Lewis (who has severe pitch issues, just check out her performances on here)...If Sy had any support from the judges, she would have a phenomenal career...She is that good!!

  • syesha was screwed by the producers everyone knows it..

  • She did amazin' :)

  • If I was Syesha..."Can I just say one thing? Uh ya, SCREW YOU I DIDNT PICK THE SONG THE PRODUCERS DID! AND QUITE HONESTLY I DONT CARE WHAT I SAY ANYMORE CUZ THE PRODUCERS ALREADY SABOTAGED ME BY PICKING THE SONG AND MAKING THE JUDGES GRILL ME ABOUT IT, WHAT MAKES ME THINK THEY JUST WONT COUNT MY VOTES?!?!?!?!? Im a winner to myself and I hope thats what America takes with them when I leave tomorrow."

  • i think the producers thought it was better to have both davids battle out in the finale so they screwed her by picking a song that doesnt fit her..hence this bad performance..still love her though

  • omg....paulA? did u drink something? you actually gave a sturctured critical opinion... :O

  • producers should not be allowed to pick songs so this doesn't happen, i actually enjoyed it somewhat but she wouldn't pick this herself, and it didn't allow her to have a moment

  • @spencerruefus I know. They chose Black Velvet for Crystal Bowersox. When has she ever sang something that sounds remotely like that? a better choice would have been Piece of My Hear which she covered at home pre-idol and it has 840,000 views on YT.

  • holy shit paula actually gaave serious critcism

  • i lovee this! but they could of gave her a better song.

  • she is nog bad but the song isnt that good for her i rather her gia farrel singin this song

  • SHE WAS THE BEST AND IT WASNT HER SONG CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    she should have beat David arch's gay little raspy voice and Cooks wanna be Daughtry

  • @MrCrayonInk95 I completely agree!!

  • i love the song but this sounds nothing like it

  • she had to make it her own or else she would have heard it from paula

  • lol you know it was sabotage. listen to randy's comment. her last performance of the night... deciding: does syesha make it to the finals... and thats all he has to say. very blunt.

  • i can't believe this show is so biased.......horrible song for syesha....

  • this was sabatoge from the producers... they gave the davids good songs to show off there voices but they gave her a happy feet song thats not fair especially since she had the best vocals

  • ik right

  • I'm so glad she made it to the top 3. She showed she was a fighter and didn't let anything get her down. Thank God, too, because her talent is without question top 3 worthy, so because of her fighting she made it to where she belonged. She still should have made the finals, though, replacing Archuleta (I like him, but he wasn't.....AMAZING all season, just once or twice. So it got boring)

  • Dont the judges frickin remember that someone else picked Syesha's songs?

  • Yeah the judges were really biased against syesha during this particular round. Sad. But I am Syesha's fan no matter what! I always believed in her talent and loved her great personality. =)

  • Jason Castro was getting fucked by the show the same way but unlike Syesha, he didn't give a crap. The dude practically threw in the towel before he even took the stage.

    Syesha tried as hard as she could to get past one of the two Davids (there was a slight chance of a upsetting Archuleta) but ultimately competing against them while fighting the producer's machinations was too much to overcome.

    They showed clips of the two Davids fans holding up signs and David Cook's mother crying in the...

  • audience while showing no one NO ONE supporting Syesha, they put Syesha alone in the backseat of a car while they put David A. in front of a thousand screaming fans and David C. on a news broadcast, they stick Syesha with a crappy song and use their puppet judges to rip her apart for "choosing it," and then the aforementioned puppets left her out on a rope to dry receiving each of her performances with cold indifference while predicting a David and David finale when the night was over.

    Sad.

  • at least the powers that be weren't able to run Kris Allen over w/ the same bus that hit Syesha!

  • They're gonna try again next week.

  • True...you know they are!

  • look like they missed again!

  • ha they totally did! I can't believe Kris won!!

  • She isn't as good as Gia Farrell.

  • Gia's a redhead and has big boobs, can't complain since I love redheads and I love big boobs. But she doesn't do it for me the same way Syesha does, Syesha is so incredibly beautiful and sexy and elegant. I am so happy that in America our singers are hot and sexy like Gia and Syesha because if I had a poster on the wall of Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent then I would throw up.

  • Syesha is the most beautiful contestant ever on American Idol and she can sing awesome. She should have won based on her moves alone. No straight guy would judge this performance other than awesome. If Simon didn't understand her defining moment is that she's gorgeous and sexy then he doesn't get it.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes it's clear that the producers and the judges screwed Syesha for two hours, but if I'm putting things in perspective David Cook deserved to win American Idol.

    But she was definitely second best, and if the show was an actual singing competition instead of crappy reality TV, she would have given Cook a run for his money in the finale.

    Here's hoping her album goes platinum.

  • Syesha said the produces even came up to her and said "this song isn't popular"

    OK... so why the flip would you give it to her?!

    I think the producers were scared that they might lose viewers with a Syesha and David Finale.

    Whatever.. her album is coming out this summer!

  • the producers new what they were doing, they tried to mess her up, by giving her this song, its a shame i liked her alot

  • A good example of how the producers tried throwing Syesha under the bus.

  • @Aokiji1 Now Casey James.

  • the backup singers suck.

  • she would have won if girls didnt get all hormonal with the 2 davids.

  • A bit out out of tune in some parts

  • She could have sung it louder, as she usually did in the other song she sang! ç____ç

  • its funny, even when she sings the songs that are good but not great like this one, she still kills it. she always sounds amazing no matter what song she sings. she should have won. i mean, really, every song she sung this season she sounded amazing. not to mention she is smokin hot :)

  • woah she has a set of lungs on her

  • it was an obvious ploy by the producers to set up a david vs david battle. sickening, bc she's much better than david a.

  • the producers gave her a dumb song so it could be a david/david battle. They had it out for her.

  • I think the final 2 should hav been archie and her. not that i hate cook but he just wasnt as good as syesha this night

  • amazing

  • great

  • I think what ruined this song was the way it was cut and the back-up singers. In the original version, sung by Gia, the back up singers have a much more heave, dominant role in the song. But, in this it wasn't there so it made her sound bad. I think that Syesha is a great singer, but like the judges said, that song just was not for her.

  • i totally agree!

  • i like it. it's catchy.

  • i love this song and SY

  • She ruined it. I like her voice, but I don't think this song is for her. I like Gia better.

  • she sang horriable in this song. she usaully sings great but she messed up in this

  • she shuda won

  • I don't know why everyone's complaining about her singing this song. I though she did this song great. She did all she could do with the song, and I like this song for her. The judges were definately too harsh.

  • The judges criticized her for a crappy song she didn't choose right after they blasted her for a Peggy Lee rendition that was good.

    Paula's embarrassing fuck-up a couple of weeks before this proved that the judges are just puppets for the producers who choose who they want to win American Idol. It's one of the reasons why this show is garbage.

  • this was a really stupid choice of a song. i don't know why the producers would choose it for her. horrible. gia farrell sings it well, but it's an extraordinarily hard song to sing live.

  • Ok it was the wrong song choice, Dumb producers, but I did actually liked her voice on it

  • ya.. stupid producers... ppl say the producers messed her up! UGH = = BUT I lovE SYESHA!! SHE SHOULDAA WON!! :( and back to the producer thing, the gave DAVID COOK AREOSMITH!! while syesha got a HAPPY FEET SONG... ugh.. but i still like david cook winning :) but still SYESHA FTW!!

  • Yeah I feel the same way!

  • i dont really like the song choice for her! she is a more advanced performer! Now if u ask me i think her and beyonce's voice sound so good and 2gether they voice would be soooooo pure they are like legends and syesha and beyonce's voices are very rare

  • Seysha tops Cook!

  • Syesha looks so beautiful...

  • well itz not like she picked the song, this was the producers choice....

  • One amazing performer....should have won!

  • I don't know what the judges are talking about. I thought the song fit her and I can see her doing this kinda music.

  • love syesha so much she should have won she had the most incredible voice ever

  • i love her she should of made it in the top 2

  • something is seriously rong with u

  • Great song, great voice, terrible arrangement.

  • i think she is one of the best singers throughout the entire show

    i know for a fact the idol people had some problem with her

    it wasnt syesha

    it was the show

  • She sounded amazing but the song choice was messed up. It was obvious the producers wanted her out.

  • Exactly. Pure Sabatage. That's why I could never audition for this. Treat my talent fairly.

  • Terrible song for her. I don't really like what she didn with it. She's a fantastic singer though. She did the best she could with it.

  • but what can she do with it? nothing. it's just an ordinary, average uptempo song. DAMN PRODUCERS! Syesha deserved to be in the finale

  • agreed. Syesha deserved in the finale spot with Cook. She is way more talented than Archie anyday. Archie is just a popularity craze anyway.

  • well archie certainly only got votes on certain weeks cuz of the fans, but there is no denying the kid's got talent. I just favored Syesha more and thought she had the wider range.

  • I Thought that this was good performance despite it being an atrocious song choice for her.

  • SHE WAS GREAT!!!!!

  • Holy....shit! she is the best singer ive heard in a LOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG time!!!!

  • i think she did the best she could for wat she was given, and it was great

  • this is so good she is one of the bes singers inda world

  • This was just amazing.

  • She sang better than the orig!!

  • i love how they talk more bout happy feet instead of syeshia lol

    but yeah syeshia def knew that that song wuz poor choice it sucks

  • I love Syesha! It's a shame she got eliminated. :(

  • bad song choice, great singer though

  • hyperr5000 i agree with u.

    She would have don mutch better of they hadent picked that song for her mabey that song would be ok in like top 5 or something but not the top 3.

  • The producers shouldn't have given her this stupid song. They had it in for her. They wanted a David vs. David finale to bring in ratings so they gave Syesha this song. Not that I'm mad it was a David vs. David finale but they could have given her something better.

  • totally true!

  • i agree!!! bad song 4 top 3 but nice 2 hear her song but bad song choice

  • this was my favorite preformance by her

  • Well I think she knew it was her time to go... what with everyone already preparing for the huge Davod vs. David showoff, so I think she was just ready to go. Same with Jason, he also knew it and he was tired. So Paula, i mean your awesome but whats up??? I think it was sorta obvious it was her time, so why did you have to bring it up?

  • i wanted to puke when paula said that

  • ya i want to puke on HER lol

  • even if it did give you the defining moment, simon, you still would have said something negative to assure an all male final 2.

  • i wantedto smack the hell out of paula when shesaid that.. PAULAS a drugged up whore....

  • I love Archie, but I thought the judges were especially harsh on Syesha. I thought her performances were usually pretty solid, but they seemed to always have something negative to say.

  • i agree fpinto2. I'm a huge Archuleta fan, but Syesha had ZERO chance of getting into the finale and the judges were going to make sure of that. They were extremely harsh. And to boot...Paula saying, "I don't think it was good enough to get you in to the finale"...usually Simon says something like that. When Paula says it you know that you have ZERO CHANCE.

  • I loved this performance xD

  • actually, now that i think about it, i always thought that american idol was slightly fixed. you know, swaying the votes in any way they can? i think they purposely gave david cook a great song, david archuleta a good song, and syesha mercado a bad song to influence the votes.

    anyone else agree?

  • archuletasgirl...I'm a huge Archuleta fan, but the producers and judges had meetings and they discuss who they want in the finale (financial reasons) and they manipulate and control everything that goes on with the show. Syesha had a snowball's chance in hell of making the finale and we all know it.

  • it totally wasn't fair for the producer to choose such a lame song for the top 3. she needed a really explosive song to end with, and this was just a corny song that appealed only to younger kids.

    unfortunately, she also sounded a bit out of breath, and she didn't seem to connect with the song at all. (not that i can really blame her)

    anyway, the producer eliminated any chance of her going on to the finale, though i highly doubted she would make it anyway. syesha was built for broadway!

  • she WAS good enough for the final actually, paula, maybe that week she wasn't, but she was given a choice by randy that has no wow factor because it doesn't go anywhere. and she was given a choice by the producers that just was a horrible choice. we all know she would never in a million years have picked that song. so screw them- manipulative bastards

  • Should've won out of top three

  • What the hell? That was an awful song choice for her.

  • Paula is such a crap!

  • Wow.. I really can't believe they gave her a Happy Feet song! They really wanted her off!

  • i loveeee how she sang this song! :)

  • SHE SINGS BETTER THAN GIA FARREL.....

  • No she doesnt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Syesha is amazing a great singer!!

  • syesha is amazing. nuff said. she shouldve won but the producers and judges are warping the show so that she doesnt get in the finals... they pick happy feet song for syesha which she can do absolutely nothing unique with.. and give david cook freaking aerosmith- one of the greatest songs ever... and syesha STILL did better... this show makes me so mad... syesha was the best... and shes is so gorgeous too

  • Once again American Idol Fans pick the wrong one in my opinion if this show was truly about vocal ability she would of won easily.

  • at the beginning, she kinda looked lik rihanna. it was weird YET AWESOME! i luved her performances from the beginning. and i luv HER! WHOO

  • I always figured her to look like Whitney Houston.

  • I love her song choice! All the judges are stupid!

  • It was obvious the producers and the judges were setting her up to lose. They went very articulate with the Davids' song selections cause they know they wanted them in the finals.

    Not fair!

  • I think producers manipulate american idol at this point. too bad Syesha is better the David Cock oh sorry cook

  • this song is too easy for Syesha!.

  • Syesha should be the american idol champ instead of David Cook. David Cook is only admired because of his looks.

  • WOW SHE'S HOT!

  • Wth were the producers thinking??? They weren't fair with this song selection at all,,, even though she sounded amazing as always, they should've picked something to show off her vocals.

  • syesha is a great singer....!

  • Syesha should have won.. and damn she's so fukin sexy!! OWW!

  • Yay finnily Paula is Booed!! =]

  • SO SEXY....

  • amazin

    i love syesha

    she shouda won!

  • OH my goD!!!!

    she's voice is very fantastic!

    i love this voice!!

  • she was robbed during the top 3. The producer should chose the perfect song that will suit her big vocals, not this type of hippy song.

  • I actually relle liked this performance. Its a fun song and kinda compliments her voice somewhat. But i think the producers shoulda made a bettah pick

  • she was great here!

  • i dont like her voice when she does long notes. this is like the only song i like her voice in. i loved da's dont want to miss a thing!!!

  • I thought this was really good....she shouldnt have gone....i dont like ither of the Daved's..........

  • nooooooo..

    why is syesha got voted off..

    she had a amazing voice..

    david cook is idiot..

    it should be syesha vs. david archuleta

    in the finals..

    hmp.!!!

  • david cook is ganna win.... yay

  • that's very true!!! David Cook is only admired because of his looks. damn! unfair!. I love Syesha to be the winner!

  • i think they sabotaage her but with david C..he just take great songs

  • the producers and randy should be sacked i could have picked better songs for her fooooools!!

  • Syesha awas my favorite but i personally think the producers sabotaged her.They needed to make sure David A was in the finally because alot of teenager watch it just for him and it was obvious David C would make it.

    I don't know if that makes any sense to any of you but it makes since to me.

  • im not a fan of syesha, but she did this song well. but she was so not ready for the beginning! i love this song tho i was surprised to hear that she was doing it

  • SYESHA FANS-- SUPPORT ARCHULETA!!! Now that Syesha is gone, VOTE FOR ARCHULETA. Cook is a creep with a raspy voice and we all know that the finale should have been syesha and archuleta!!!!

  • agreed 100%. david cook is just admired by gays

  • Didn't know this song, thought it was originally done by Beyonce... Personally think Syesha has a great career after all of this & agree with Llewod that maybe the producers deliberately chose a less stellar song for Syesha- if so they should be sacked!!

  • i thought it was good, but she has done better

  • i wasn't the best.

    But i'm sure if she recorded this in an studio, it would be a hit.

    she's got an amazing voice.

  • spectacular vocal quality..

    she can be the next beyonce or alicia keys

  • I think that is so unfair that at such a critical time in the show they don't even get to pick their own music! I mean, come on. They say it didn't define her as a singer... yeah well, it wouldn't...someone who doesn't know her picked it!

  • i actually liked it!! Randy was mean that night... he always say "it is pitchy", i rarely find it pitchy although i am a musician since 20 years!!!!

  • why the hell the producers chose that song for her?

    Hanna Montana or High School Musical wasn't avaible???? ¬¬

    i mean, i like this song very much but it's just not right at all sing it on top3.

    was crystal clear for me the producer's intentions by givin' her this "crappy" song.

    BUT she pulled off big time! i LOVED that performance (i'm even sad that she didn't the studio version of it)

    *i wanted Archie singin' this song. i think

    it would be awesome xD

  • i was thinking the same thing, they were probably trying to sabotage her to make sure David A was in the final even though he's boring as hell

  • That was the producer's choice, not hers! Good job girl!

  • I'd tear that ass up!

  • syesha is very gracious when she takes in the critique. good for paula for knowin about "happy feet". an article i read said that when the producers gave her this song it was like throwing her off a the highest floor of a skyscraper on top of a mountain.

  • a real performer.. no one can beat the true performer.. syesha!!!!!!!!!

  • I have to say, she's alright, not my favorite singer...come to think of it, I don't really know who is my favorite, but I have to admit I don't think anyone could have made this song sound better than she did. Personally, I think it suited her well and was a great performance. I do have to also agree, that it does seem sketch that they gave her such a horrible song. Paula was kinda wrong for saying what she said. I dunno, but that's my opinion.

  • i didnt like it too much. leave it to gia. kthanks.

  • syesha left! i cant believe it!!! if i lived in america i wld vote 4 her like a billion times!! she waz the best out of em all thats fo sho!

  • Ditto

  • All three singers are great. But someone just has to go.

    (Rock on Syesha!)

  • no offence but leave it to gia

  • The producer who chose this song is an ass! Looks like somebody was purposely trying to set her up for elimination with that whack ass song!

  • I agree. The judges don't like the song and even Paula tells her it doesn't suit her and not good enough to make it into the finale. Well, who picked the song? Producer's choice, hence, elimination for Syesha. She wasn't my favorite, mine was elimitated already but I think she was as good as the Davids. That's what bugs me about this show now, the judges/producers at this point of the competition should praise them all and truly leave it up to America to decide.
