American Idol 2008 Syesha Mercado Leaves... Judges and Ryan Could Have Been Nicer

Syesha Mercado

Our Tribute To The Last Sista'...One Rock And Roll Too Many

Last night Syesha was voted off American Idol 2008. I admit, weeks ago, I was surpised to see Syesha in the top six of this years competition. Up till then she was consistently in the bottom of vote getters. But Andrew Lloyd Webber night put her on the map and showed she had the goods. Last night she was not allowed to exit gracefully as she became the object of unecessary critisim. The whole world knew in the end she would exit leaving a showdown between the two Davids. It didn't have to be so ugly.

Trying to clear the way for the two Davids, all the judges criticized Syesha during the show, even Paula, who is the softest and usually has something nice to say about every contestant.

It was strange to see Syesha criticized so much just as she was giving her best and had started to have more confidence and be more open. In the last shows, Syesha proved she was not only a singer, but could also make a good entertainer, showing off her dancing skills and trying to be as expressive as possible. Well, all her efforts were in vain, as her fate was pretty much decided already.

American Idol 2008 The Final Four: Can Syesha Hold On

That's what everyone who watched last nights American Idol 2008 on television is asking. She is the lone female who is left. All season we new the boys were a lot better than the female contestants, but who could have guessed that tiny Syesha Mercado would be the last one? Here is her tribute to Tina Turner and singing Proud Mary.

American Idol 2008 First Shocker, Good Bye Michael Johns!

Last Night's Bottom 3: Michael, Carly And Syesha

OK I must be totally out of touch with American Idol 2008 because the above picture shows last nights bottom three. All the blogs I have read and reviews I have seen on TV predicted that either Carly Smithson or Syesha Mercado would be getting kicked off the show, well they were all wrong! Leaving the show was surprise, Michael Johns.

OK, the two Blonds last Tuesday did 'all right" but please, there is no flavor going on in this show. Syesha is the soul of the season and if 'rocker girl' Smithson would just cover up those tattoos, America could focus on the fact that the girl can sing her a** off. Note, when all the contestants had their final group song Carly Smithson, ala' Patti Labelle, had the bulk of the solo work that landed squarely on top of that chorus of bland vanilla the rest of them were putting out.

In the mean time Michael Johns, here's your tribute.
