Okay Trenyce, show her how it’s done.
(Check out Syesha’s cover, for comparison, after the jump!)

Bah…a couple of trannies. I agree that Trannyce was a lot better than Syscreecha.
To be honest, Syesha was good, but when she did her “C’mon y’all!” I was like “She just ripped off Trenyce!” What is she up to anyway, I heard she was playing Deena in a traveling “Dreamgirls” show.. but that was a while ago..
Slezak, what is your obsession with Trenyce? I just don’t get it! Maybe there’s a support group you can join? I say this out of love, of course.
I was just going to say what Nose said. I mean, if Cristian Siriano had been famous around the time of Trenyce’s stint on “Idol”, he would’ve dubbed her a “hot tranny mess” (which she TOTALLY is) and moved on.
Out of all the middling “American Idol” contestants in seven seasons, why obsess over this one?
yeah, sorry slezak. i’m going to disagree with you for the first time on this one. syesha just seemed to have more fun with it. maybe the backup singers and live band helped. nonetheless, trenyce was not nearly as memorable. though, let’s be honest – they both kind of sucked. they’re no vonzell! they’re no latoya london!
Trenyce’s version gets points for having more faithful backup singers (it’s just missing something without Ike’s superlow vocals)… but Syesha did seem to have more fun, and kudos to her for not showing the world her goodies while doing the Tina moves in that ultra-short dress.
Thanks to ew.com’s list of Idol’s greatest performances, I had seen Trenyce’s version even though I’ve just been watching the show for 2 seasons now. So Syesha’s performance also sent me to youtube to watch Trenyce’s last night. While there, I also checked out Tina’s and Beyonce’s. When you watch all them, it makes you realize how unoriginal Syesha’s performance was; it was pretty much a carbon copy of what had already been done. Syesha’s might have been more of a spectacle (the band, the lights, those moves) but Trenyce’s is better because she throws in some growly soul. It’s a good thing Syesha’s second song was so well selected.
The probl. w/ Syesha is she didn’t bring anything new. It was the Beyonce does Tina version. She should have slowed it down all the way straight and not done any twirling moves. That might get her booted off, imitating Tina.
Trannyce was so much better. And I can’t stand her.
I never much cared for her, but that was good -even with the canned music.
They are both but shadows of the sun that is Tina Turner..put her video up and then watch all three…the other two are just posers.
How long till there is a Tina Turner show on Broadway?
what’s up with the trenyce love? she doesn’t know how to move on stage. she looked akward for the entire second half of the song. i thought trenyce was karaoke tina, at least syesha looks and moves like a pro. also trenyce can’t sing that well. again, why the obsession?
… and now put up a video of ANGELA BASSETT as Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do With It”, and see that Trenyce is already 3rd gen copy in her performance… so I second Mike’s question: why the Trenyce obsession again?
Back then on Idol the contestants weren’t pre-groomed for success. Trenyce was feeling it, giving the song the emotion and energy that it needs. It’s not supposed to be cute and happy and mellowed out like Syesha’s version.
Trenyce WAS robbed, she had natural talent, even if she looked like a tranny.
Even though I enjoyed it, I definitely think Syesha’s take was a little too much like a Tina Turner impersonator. Were the dance moves really necessary? That’s really inviting comparison.
