"I'm a mix of a lot of things ... I'm like a black Christina Aguilera ... I definitely can see myself putting together a Christina Aguilera album, the one that she just recently did and an Alicia Keys album like The Diary of Alicia Keys. I like Pop and I like R&B and I like the old school, new school thing so I'm growing as an artist, I'm evolving ... You'll know who I am once I put out that album."

I had read that David Cook,s song was the number one download on i-tube, so he doesn't need it. Why did they have to put that weave on her???? Now she looks like all the other girls. Her afro was great. She will be able to make her own deal with a record company instead of being tied down to a contract with american idol. good luck girl

Love her, love her, love her... She will do great, she just has to become a little more modest!

I can't believe Syesha compared herself to X-tina! If she ever does record maybe then she'll hear all of the off-key notes she sings!
What a dingbat!

syesha really shouldnt compare herself to other aritsts if she wants to be successful. if she is like christina aguilera or alicia keys y would i buy her album i would just listen to them. they both are one in a million and she is someone that got kicked off of american idol. thats it

Christina IS the Black Christina Aguilera. Is she for real? I haven't seen Seyesha, but I highly doubt that she can blow like Christina. That is one singing child. Christina's talent has surpassed most r&b singers of this era.

This Siesha is such a LOSER. She is so TYPICAL of 98% of today's so-called artists. They have NO...ZERO...originality. Her comments about being like Christina A. or Alicia Keyes are her admission that she wants to copy (IMITATE) them. There is NOTHING "Original" about this person. She will be just another one in a LONG line of Forgettable IMITATORS.
