Syesha Mercado - One Rock And Roll Too Many (4-22-08)

[1990banks]

OMG!! look how elegant and beautiful she looks, very desirable woman, she doesn't have her a** or her chest hanging out for the audience to see, she let's her natural beauty and God given talent shine unlike other performers out there who shall remain unmentioned but you know who they are "oh na na" (haha)

[chibee1620]

I love Syesha! This was the best performance of that episode followed by Carly. I love it that she danced with the conductor and guitarist! Simon was right, this was a hot performance. I love you Syesha!

[LaotianLover]

[jgrimes94]

[ricochet511]

She started one beat early. Whoops.

[platafia]

This Is One Of The Best American Idol Performances Of All Times This Girl Gave A Sensational Performance

[anjelheaven]

Syesha was SO GREAT!

[MsMusicalRocker]

@jedmeistermajesty never. it is never gonna come out. her website has been under construction since the season 7 finale.

[Anavinla]

Exactly three years ago. ♥

[RockIRose]

Wow shes following me on twitter now ! I didint realise who she was then I googled her cos im from England and didint watch it , wow shes amazing

[joancamo]

until now i still can't understand why she was in the bottom 2 that time, when she rocked it, and Brooke White was safe when she sucked and restarted her performance!!!

[dreman1970]

@joancamo EXACTLY!!! And Carly got eliminated and SHE was tremendous singing Jesus Christ superstar

[McDoucheBaggery]

She should have won dammit!

[zennelly]

never bored with her performance :)

[MrPetejames2]

woow she needs to be on broadway baby! Hair or Dreamgirls! that was fab vocals!!

[RockStarHouseBand]

@MrPetejames2 maybe even Sister Act...

[aproby]

@MrPetejames2 She actually just finished the national tour of Dreamgirls!

[MaryRSaunders]

lol "i think you can be a huge broadway star" and randy was so right.. dreamgirl

[tanieyagurl101]

[notabadguy06]

is it me or is she off key for most of this song?

[cherryblossom141]

@notabadguy06 it's you.

not to be rude. but she was on pitch. her tone was imperfect but pitch...fine. 

[bubba6109]

I don't watch Idol and have never seen this young lady sing. However, I thought she was very good and I wonder why she didn't make it further into the competition. Were the others really that much better? (Why am I asking? I know these shows are more popularity than talent based.)

[roseglass6370]

Picking this song was genius! Who would have thought to do that? Best idol performance ever!

[DoubleDBlogXX]

my fav performance!! i swear this girl never got the credit she DESERVED!

[nancylp1111]

@DoubleDBlogXX Yea, well she's laughing all the way to the bank while performing dreamgirls on tour. And where are Archuletta and Cook? I know archuletta did some disney/nickelodian stuff but not that much and Cook has an album but I've never seen it. Syesha is working on an album I think too.

[DoubleDBlogXX]

@nancylp1111 i know rite! she is working on it! and the day it comes out im going to be first in line! she has such an amazing gift! she is flawless!

[nancylp1111]

@DoubleDBlogXX Yea, I'll be there too. I rarely watch tv and my daughter got me hooked on AI in the 6th season but I didn't feel invested in any contestants till Syesha, I voted like crazy for her because I thought for her talent she was treated like a red headed stepchild and lets face it, we knew from the beginning they were going to have a david V david finale but Syesha showed them both up by doing better than either of them.

[zennelly]

@nancylp1111 she is busy with her Dreamgirls.. but She said that She's working on her new album too! that was a good news :D

[notabadguy06]

something tells me that if paris bennet sung this, it would be amazing.....

[joaooo222]

Best performance ever!

AAMMAZING!! Very jazzy,..DELICIOUS!

Thanks Syesha !

[HesAprince]

Sooooo hot hot hottt!!!!!!! Not to mention talented, And yall may not know this but she is also an extremely skilled dancer as well, I went to high school with her. amazing person.

[zues770]

2:13 lol at the guitarist, wonder what he's looking at lol

[bozjpop]

i think she could win the AI if she joins season 8

[CountryRoadTrip]

She is a stone cold FOX!

[dramaqueen134ever]

I love her version of the song...I was impressed how she covered from her little mess up at the beginning

[malcolmlewis013]

I am forever watching this video. I was head over heels from her rehearsal ( 0:05 - 0:10 )

[awesomechowchow]

she's so so so much better than a lot of the people who got on the live show this year i wish she won

[chris79solon]

simon was on the spot...it was "Makin whopee" esque what she did..Not as sexy and great as Michelle's but to date, i love this performance of Syesha...Her "Yesterday" came a close second

[1soccerforlife123]

lol when she is doing the talking in the beginning she always says "like" XD LOL

[MrFoolish2009]

i may provoke you all but adam is the best singer and the highest male vocal range ive ever heard............

so bad he didn't win american idol

[LightTruthLove]

who the hell mentioned adam he wasnt even on this season, and syesha's a girl.

LOL

[Prolife29]

she comes off a bit too fake and posh for me

[wilburfudd]

anyone remember Temira grey from I think the first season, she did pretty well after american idol.

[jsm426]

She was the true Winner this year!!!Sing girl..

[SuperGirlShayera]

she was awesome i still don't know why the hell she went home

[jeff94533]

She was, by far, the best vocalist. What is she doing, now?

[koolmom46]

She is on the Dreamgirls tour!!

[rachgirl400]

wait who won this season?

[siremersonlveras]

i love this girl! way BETTER than the winner of this season..

[malcolmlewis013]

People are so stupid. After this performance, she STILL was in the bottom two. What, are people on drugs? :)

She was, clearly, the best vocalist of the season.

[DanielFuscoMusic]

she should have fucking one for sure!!!! when she got sent home it made me sooo mad.

[daaviid67]

Syesha is so underrated.

[TrynaGetBacToMyLuv]

She should of won.

[kazurkid]

still fricken smokin any time I look at this....Syesha....you Rock and are ha ha ha hot!

[daidiki]

such a powerfull voice

[cwestlee06]

i like her voice to this song i ♥ syesha^^

[TYASUMMERS]

I also think she was one of the most beautiful contestants on the show. I never understood how she was in the bottom after this performance!!! She definitely brought a new edge to this song, and made it sexy without going over the top.

[cwestlee06]

she is better than fantasia barrino.

[ElphabaoftheWest]

no one is better than anyone. hell, they makin money right??? BOO!!!!

[116Eggleston]

That is my opinion that's all it is. Rub was a long time ago. it wouldn't happen today.

[fireangel265]

No, she didn't win because by the time Syesha finally got how to preform on stage (which was this preformence), everybody already had their favorites are were going to vote for them no matter what. That's the reason two of the people who did the best that night were in the bottom two.

[luciferi158]

this one requires a lot of musical talent. Outstanding performance.

[Stargazer1617]

this is my favorite song that she sings

[chukwuma2008]

she is going to be in the dream girls revival broadway national tour

[Jman383]

i love that the reason she picked this was because she CLEARLY knew the show, and knew she could mess with the song in a brilliant way. LOVE her. :)

[bgurl3192]

I just read that she's gonna be playing Deena in the dreamgirls musical play

[Ramubay]

Its neat that people are still watching her videos on You Tube. I think she was the most beautiful and talented contestant ever on America Idol.

[116Eggleston]

If she was a white boy she would've won.

[shadeylane]

Well that wasn't racist sounding at all. How did Reuben Studdard win, then? Magic?

[marcus1s]

this is my fav! type in marcus shacknow and watch me sing this song

[123yaya000]

This is one of my favorites!!!

[MrCarrollJayWare]

Yes she got screwed out of being American Idol. I am sorry but David Cook sings about as well as a dog in heat. I see why and understand why people say it is fixed.

[wodahsking]

I agree with u MrCarrollJayWare. She should have won. She was the best by a good margin. I can't wait for her to become BIG and give Simon and the others the finger.

[HARDCOREGAMERs1]

I met her in real life she visited my school becuase her sister works at my school in florida

[shinypath]

I love this performance

[keb76]

! amaaaaazin...

[SportsAreLife58]

how was she in the bottom two this week after THAT performance?

[ritaalves27]

She is so amaizing.

I'm from Portugal, so the transmission of americam idol is litle late, but as soon has I heard her, I became a fan!

LOVE YOU SYESHA!

[Ramubay]

She's the most beautiful of any American Idol contestant ever and here the most beautiful any contestant has ever looked. We should make her Miss America, she's that perfect.

[saycheese808]

She going to be playing Deena in the tour of "Dreamgirls"!!!

[evanhlynch]

i already rated this video like 10 times! 5 stars for syesha, always

[JAYRYANTV]

Im no knockin teairra mari but her and syesha look alike but syesha will out sing her anyday

[ff8teacher]

she is GOOD.

[CalvRos]

Simply.... a sumptuously delicious individual.

[DancingFan28]

She was SO UNDERRATED

[qg6ff]

you got that right

[icegates]

DEFINITELY UNDERRATED!!!

CARLY FAIRLY RATED however, America became very influenced by the news. DUH! It is talent that should count in this competition. Shame on you American People.

I just like to promote Frenchie Dy from the Philippines. She is very good. She has very WIDE range! watch her please. Thank you!

[iitzjacky]

i miss syesha :[[ she's so great.

[jedmeistermajesty]

this is one of my favorite performances in Idol history... when will her album come out? :)

[margarita2190]

does anybody know if she is doing a broadway show?

[sapirionyx]

the best american season..

[heyguesswhat96]

this was my favorite preformances.

its so fun and she did such a great job.

this is an amazing song.

[JoeCx16x]

i love her. she was my fav tth season and i cant believe we havent heard from her yet

[Ramubay]

Simon's 19-year old reference to Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys got a "huh?" by Syesha and most of the audience.

[rogerwhereareyou]

This was one of my favorite performances of the season of all the contestants.

[Ramubay]

Syesha is the most beautiful, sexy and talented contestant ever on American Idol.

[margarita2190]

ur an ass

she is a good singer

[qg6ff]

i believe i've said this before but the fact that you leave rude comments (if i dont like someone ill say it without being rude) continually and made an account just for that, you have no life....

and apparantly don't know what a good singer is. let me guess, your favorite is sanjaya malakar?!

[ballerinafreakazoid]

i havent found this song ever!

[Ramubay]

Its from Starlight Express. That's the one where the performers are on roller skates. Its based on The Little Train That Could.

[kazurkid]

Syesha, You fricken are awesome, you go girl, grab the world and take it all girl!

and another thing, you are ssssssssssmmmmokin!

[Akee1990]

I got one good question.How the hell did she land in the bottom with this song, but Brooke was safe afta fuckin' up?That's bullshit!

[Ramubay]

Well, first of all Syesha did end up in the final three (with the two Davids). Given that the success of A.I. contestants doesn't seem to be if they actually won or not I guess its not that big of a deal. Syesha does need a better manager because here you have the most beautiful, sexy and talented girl I've seen on A.I. and she's not all over TV right now or releasing songs. That's crazy. She should have her own show.

[krazykool9111]

american idol is a singin competition

she was definently the best singer on the singer

[nathanjenson]

its definetely her best performance

[hellofapie]

This was my favorite performance of hers! Shes awesome!

[DerekOdgers]

She was the best vocalist of her season :).

This was also the best performance of the entire season :D

[Ramubay]

Agree. Star power. My favorite from American Idol, any season, and one of my favorite performers anywhere.

[reflastori]

She's soo fit! Great singer too.

[yuer7676]

beautiful and excellent singer ....Syesha forever

[Ramubay]

Syesha is incredibly beautiful and sexy, I love this girl. I would prefer watching her in concert to Susan Boyle. She looks so hot here.

[athousandstrats]

Lol, who WOULDN'T :P

[archangel629]

my favorite from her! she's so amazing!! i hope that she comes out with an album soon :)

[JulianTheGreat01]

She's working on one right now! =D

[buddyboy623]

i will always remember this performance

[xst3phan1exO]

i met her :))

[SourCreamsicle]

did she mess up at the beginning?

[carebsweet]

yea she was off beat but its like they slowed up or sumn but she caught up

[TB317]

no, it was the sound, it cut off "one nights sleep" and it kicked back in on the too few

[jaspar38]

My only criticism about this performance? I liked her hair better in the preview video. I understand she wanted it to look chic and elegant, but the fro is fun and hip. But other that that, amazing. She definitely should have won that year!

[JulianTheGreat01]

I think she would have won if she auditioned for season 6; before all the little girlies started voting for the "hottest".

[wariopuff]

One of my top 10 favorite Idol performances ever.

[buddyboy623]

mine too!

[Ringo2345]

amazing!

[kuneko0630]

One of the best AI performances in all of its 8 seasons. Period.

[PotniaTheronVT]

I just love her! I still go back to these utube video clips. She has a great voice and personality. I mean, I think many can agree that the first American Idol is the best AI, but she's right up there. She's my personal favorite and I can't wait for her album. I don't care that she didn't win.

[yuer7676]

Belleza & talento: Syesha Mercado

[snipesre]

she came to my school and did a baby cry

[sanjitheblacklegs]

her best performance

[nevawrong]

BLACK BEAUTY

[devorahacts]

Beauty period.

[qg6ff]

love syesha!

[Vickycool2]

wow.. shes good. and i loooove her dress XD

[princessofbiz]

[qg6ff]

lol no...

[evanhlynch]

i like the way the says 'allright' lol i love syesha

[curlingiron7658]

Had a few little pitch problems, but one of the best of the night along with Carly...

[lf1234]

Finally a performance from Syesha the judges didn't shit all over.

[GavicoboProductions]

i like her and i like this song so much xD. in my opinion though it was so hard to tell who was best for me because this top 3 was the most epic ever!!! haha such a great season =)

[switchfoot110]

What musical is this song from?

[UsoppsRevenge]

Starlight Express! It's not the greatest musical, but the song's great!

[empressrainbow]

Omg she's so pretty!

I wish she'd won :/

Such a lovely voce x-)

[Chouette11192]

ugh she was so amazing!!!

[tapdanczer03080]

one of my favorite performances of this whole season

[survivorfever92]

OMG i was so mad tht she didn't win!!

yeah in the beginning she was average but after the beatles week with her performance of yesterday she was my fav!

I stayed up all night voting for her to get into the finals but alas my efforts were futile

She will always be the winner of this season in my book

[megapark2]

She's hot!

[VizionaryVideoz]

I find it soo funny how they were so hard on her and never gave her the appreciation she needed...but yet still every celeb mentor she had absolutely adored her voice..AI is so lame thats why i dont watch the show anymore...its tooo fake and set up..ugh i hope someone signs sy sy

[emma6767]

okay this seriously pisses me off, kristy lee cook gets signed but syesha doesn't?

thats not fair at all.

[USHERBOO064LIFE]

why do u mean she did'nt get sign

[emma6767]

she didn't get signed to a record label.

[sherryjellison]

I love syesha...they didn't give her the credit she was due...she's beautiful and a MUCH better singer than the rest of the bunch.

[Milangel]

The best American Idol performance ever PERIOD!

[hugetaylorswiftfan99]

i never really liked syesha

[dakozkhenzznehk]

Best performance..

[Kouhai]

I would DIE if i got the chance to work with Andrew Lloyd Weber X.X

She really owned this one

[Survivorfan2015]

she is one of the best idols ever

[bandGeeeK519]

i think she should sing rent shes amazing!!

[aprilboongaling28]

i love syesha!!!

[toritheditz]

I really was a Syesha fan, I think she had the best voice of all the contestants. But there were to many Archie fans to get her into the top two.

:(

[rockstar2705]

agreed.

[avswink7]

david cook and my syesha are still my fave!

[evanhlynch]

syesha is fantastic

[curlingiron7658]

I thought it was her best peformance, I really did. She just needs to work on her prounciation, and her pitch. She did extremely well. And she should definately go into Theatre onece the Tour is over! A 9 out of 10 for me.

[mickeyelsalsero]

why was she barefoot?

[scrumptiouus]

she was barefoot because she was

standing on the piano and she wasn't

allowed to stand on it with shoes on

[ryanlsj]

she was awesome!
