Syesha is so talented! She was on American Idol Season 7, and came in 3rd place. During the top 12 week, I wanted her to come in 3rd place and she did! But when Ramiele went home, I wanted Syesha to be in the top 2, but the top 3 is really good too. I liked all of her performances, some better than others. My top 5 favorites are: 1. Hit Me Up (This was soooo underrated) 2. A Change Is Gonna Come (absolutely amazing) 3. One Rock n Roll Too Many (Why was she in the bottom 2?) 4. Vanishing (awesome) 5. Proud Mary (I loved her dance moves). I also thought she was very sexy in some performances especially Fever!
Syesha, Randy Jackson didn't want to compliment you because he didn't want to seem partial or bias since you're black, but girlfriend, you SANG A Change is gonna Come!
Obama should hire you to sing A Change is Gonna Come as a part of his campaign. I was back in the day of Sam Cooke and he would have been proud to hear you sing as you did. I was crying before you started. Keep doing what you're doing. You looked good in the gold gown. You sang beautifully, and you're just good. I think it is already planned for David A. to win, but you are a winner regardless; you're cute, you're smart, and you're talented...Keep up the good work. I'm a 63 year old retired schoolteacher and grandmother, and I'm proud of you! Congratuations!!!
