American Idol 7 Top 4 - Syesha Mercado

Syesha Mercado may have earned herself a spot in the American Idol season 7 Top 3 with her performances of "Proud Mary" and "A Change Is Gonna Come."  I’m not sure if I was 100% sold on either performance but that second some was charged with energy and those tears she shed after Paula Abdul "welcomed" her to her "dream" had to have touched many a voter’s heart (not that I’m saying she cried to get votes!). 

Proud Mary

Watch her perform "A Change is Gonna Come" after the jump!

    she was trying to get sympathy votes with the crying and the involving the civil rights movement. i think this girl is a very good actress and i cant believe paula and simon are falling for it. especially paula is usually good at spotting fake girls but not this time =(

    Class act and a nice individual. Funny how Randy does not like any other strong black women besides Mariah and Whitney. So yesterday.

    Cool American Idol Scorecard that shows who’s UP and who’s DOWN (n possibly OUT)!
