I love her–she’s great! A lot of people during the competition said she was unrelatable, but she reminds me of the charismatic theatre people I used to hang out with. She’s also the best dressed and sexiest lady of the season. Go Syesha!
OMG!!! this interview didnt make me like her any better… I dont know why but i dislike her sooooooo much. Nevertheless she’s definitely the “Wonder woman” of AI season 7
“Like come on man!…I’m FUN!…” Wow, she doesn’t interview well at all. This did nothing positive for her. I respect her being a “tryer”, but man, she is terribly irritating.
I STILL don’t like her. Wow, it’s like we did her a grave injustice for not voting for her. Hmmmmm….
Sorry, I only made it halfway through Part 2.
still don’t like her but she did get shafted in the david vs david hype.
She’s young and ambitious. I hope she does well, but I need to cut her some slack for the lack of charm. It seems so effortless for DC and JC that I forget not every performer can pull it out. (Mariah, anyone?)
Syesha is truly multi-talented – a singer/actress/model/dancer, a quadruple threat! And she can sing in multiple genres of music. I predict she will be everywhere – Pop and R&B charts, movies, Broadway, you name it. The sky’s the limit for her!
i think simon didn’t like her – AT ALL. she was not my favourite contestant but she deserved more credit than she was given! they did limit her when they mentioned the broadway thing. at least she seems like a strong person. good luck for her.
I’m so pleased that we ended up with such a classy group of idols this year.
You know like I try to like maybe you know like her but something about like the way you know she relates to like the songs and people you know turns me like off.
Wow, I was just going to say how brutal this interview was to get through because of her “like” addiction. Syesha seems like an okay person, she’s certainly not gonna set the world on fire with her talent, but she REALLY needs some lessons in public speaking! Couldn’t even make it to part three.
Syesha was definitely the best dressed this year & looked great in everything she wore. I think I like her hair better when it’s straighter though. She may not have been one of my favorites, but that’s only because this season there was soooo much talent. Overall my favorite season ever!
Oh my! That was something akin to teeth grinding, nails on a chalkboard, or rubbing a balloon.
Hmm, well that was kind of interesting. The way Syesha interviews comes across as being a bit self-absorbed. Could be a misperception or lack of skill in interviewing.
I guess I’m always turned off when someone talks about sharing their “gift” or wanting people to see more of their personality. Just hits me the wrong way. Of course the two Davids also would answer questions about themselves but it didn’t come across as self-absorption. They had other observations and comments. I do wish her luck and success. She has tenacity and strength.
