On the April 10 American Idol results show, Michael Johns, Carly Smithson and Syesha Mercado were in the bottom three. In the end, however, it was Michael Johns who was eliminated.
Noooo!!!!!!
Syesha Mercado sings “I Believe” by Fantasia in this April 8 American Idol video clip. Syesha Mercado nicely relates the “I Believe” lyrics to the “Idol Gives Back” concept this week.
Randy said it was ok, but he didn’t feel a connection; Paula said it was one of Syesha Mercado’s most shining nights; Simon thought she sang it very well, but it lacked a big wave of emotion.

So here we are – the top 8 American Idol finalists left standing. But who will win it all? Not so fast, David Archuleta – you’re a crowd favorite, but there are a few contestants who are gaining momentum with solid performances every week (David Cook, Michael Johns – I’m lookin’ at you guys).

Syesha Mercado totally sparkles – maybe it’s because she’s an aspiring actress too, but she’s got this great ability to connect with the audience. Plus she has the pipes to back it up – she’s really good. Read the rest of this entry »
Syesha Mercado sings “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton in this April 1 American Idol video clip. Yeah, she’s no Whitney, but I think Randy and Simon were a little hard on her.
Randy said she did pretty good; Paula said she’s connecting with the audience more and loves it; Simon said it was a good, but not fantastic version of the song.
Over 30 million votes were cast…. and Chikezie, Syesha Mercado and Jason Castro landed in the bottom three on the March 26 American Idol results show.
In the end though, it was Chikezie who was eliminated.
Syesha Mercado sings “If I Were Your Woman” by Stephanie Mills (1987) in this March 25 American Idol video clip.
Randy said it was her best performance and unbelievable; Paula said she was fantastic and brilliant; Simon didn’t like the end as much as Randy.
Syesha Mercado sang “Yesterday” by The Beatles in this March 18 American Idol video clip.
Randy said it was a very good performance; Paula loved how she showed vulnerability; Simon thought it was her best performance.
