"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."
-- 'American Idol' cast-off Syesha Mercado commenting on musical identity. (People)

David A always has that goofy smile on his face. What's up with that? It makes him look retarded. (Sorry, I know that's not a p.c. term)

syesha is a unique singer, she was probably asked who do u compare yourself to and she answered the question as she thought was correct, everyone always seems to twist up what people are really trying to say.

Where do all of you haters come from? She made it to the final 3 out of thousands and that happened because she was damn good. In order to be an entertainer you have to have a big ego, that is part of the territory and anyone who does not understand or realize that has not right to even comment about this incrediable woman. You all get a life and go back to your minimum wage jobs and stop judging this sister who will make more money in one year then you will make in a lifetime.

Not a Christina at all. Sy can sing, but not like X-tina. Now Mariah is w/ Christina as far as singing.

Ryan (#14above) is right. She's not a finished product yet. She does need a lot to be a consistent Top 20 artist. She is pretty, has a good figure and has talent. Be nicer you faggots. A lot of work and she can be a great artist if her material is chosen wisely. I mean REALLY!! Top 3 of 100K people isn't bad. This is America.......anything's possible unless you're liberal socialist. Then .nothing is possible. No hope. Best wishes to Syesha.:)

Christina is SUCH a unique and stunning talent. Few can match her range. Syesha is saying she like her choice in songs and would like ot be that good someday. Read the comments again fags. She has hope. Good to see young women with hope. Her talent needs development. What's so wrong with that?

Siesha is a beautiful girl and she does have a nice voice - come on people don't put her down - how many of you can do what she does I bet NONE!!!So stop being jealous and saying bad things about her!!! She happens to be very talented and especially very beautiful I think she wil become something if not on Broadway - and she seems like a nice genuine girl!!
