ohh!! stop hating on Syesha if you think Trenyece or whatever the call her is better, go listen to the studio version of Syesha’s and then come back then compare. Syesha is raw talent as David Cook said, “she can do everything vocally!!”
jeez!!, who is trencye what a fake!!

Not Syesha’s best vocal, but she performed the heck out of the song! I was proud of her, it was great!
And I’ve never understood your obsession with Trenyce, Slezak. She was ‘good’, but not THAT good, hence why we don’t hear from her today.

Compared side-by-side like that, I actually liked Syesha’s better. When Jason Castro had a hard time just remembering two songs, its even more impressive to see Syesha do the choregraphy, remember the lyrics, and have it come across as looking very finished and professional. And I am not a Syesha fan at all, go David Cook!

The problem was not in the singing it was that Tina has a moderate register. Syesha has a high one. Melinda and Trenyce are the only two who when singing that song, can come close to Tina’s register. Even Mary J. Blidge can puil off the same no-frills vocal effect as Trenyce and Melinda

Ew I hated Trenyce. I don’t know why Syesha gets such a bad rap, I think she’s great.

I was so distracted by the suggestive dancing that I didn’t listen to the music. I’m not a prude, but in my experience when a singer “performs” that way, it’s because the song isn’t enough by itself. When Tina does it, you hear the song too, no matter how she’s dancing (which is amazing). Syesha can sing, but I think this performance showed us why she isn’t a star.

Trenyce made that song amazing. Heck, Melinda Doolittle KILLED that song on the Idol tour. That song introduced us to Fantasia. And nobody quite compares to the original – Tina. So why did she even try? I still don’t understand why Syesha had to do that song.

This song is the same as watching a ‘Whitney’ song. KARAOKE! And the dancing should be left to Ms. Turner.
Why do they pick this stuff?? Talented yes, but no originality at all.

And I watched a video where Syesha compared herself to MLK and Obama, is that girl on drugs or something?

Syesha is awful and in top3, so much for the “most talented contestants” ever. This girl screams FAKE and BORING every performance, glad I stopped watching the AI trainwreck this season.
