Syesha Mercado

Syesha: (on if she will be getting married anytime soon) I'm the type of person that I live in the now. [My fiance's] so supportive and we have a mutual understanding about everything. Right now, we're focused on the career and what's the next move to make and everything else will fall into place.

Syesha: (on what type of artist she wants to be after "American Idol") I'm a mix of a lot of things. That's why a lot of people think I'm "Broadway." I definitely can see myself putting out the most recent Christina Aguilera album and the Alicia Keys album, 'The Diary of Alicia Keys.' Like pop and R&B and the old school/new school thing. I'm growing as an artist, I'm evolving and I'm glad that I did 'American Idol' because people were able to see that transition that I went through. People will know who I am once I put out my album.

Syesha: (on what her plans are after "American Idol") I tell people that I want to do everything. I'm really goal-oriented and I know whichever goal I set, I can accomplish. I want to make an album. I want to star in a film. I want to do Broadway. I want to open up a organic restaurant. I want to start a foundation. It just depends on what comes first.
