She rocked it. I was impressed with not only her singing, but her animation of the whole song. She told a story with her voice and body language. She is staying in another week for sure, but she has fierce competition, and a big problem of little girls that vote for the guys because they have a crush on them.
One of the reasons why I watch Idol 7 is b'coz of Syesha. She handpicks songs wisely, and her voice is unpredictably powerful. Hope to see ya in Broadway! x.
Haters, stop hating on Syesha. This is the best performance on American Idol this year hands down. If you do not like her, why are you watching her videos? Go watch your boring David's.
OH MY FUCKING GOSH. The first and only time I heard this song was when she sang it on the show years ago, and I'm 13 now, and this was playing in my head... I search it and get the greatest feeling of nostalgia! HELP.
She is so amaizing. I'm from Portugal, so the transmission of americam idol is litle late, but as soon has I heard her, I became a fan! LOVE YOU SYESHA!
My Favorite GIRL "GREAT JOB! By FAR.. She should have never been in the Bottom.. NOT Fair!! This PErformance was Outstanding.. a Broadway STAR!! an Actress.. LOVE HER!! Vote for Her, and David Archuleta
I love Syesha! This was the best performance of that episode followed by Carly. I love it that she danced with the conductor and guitarist! Simon was right, this was a hot performance. I love you Syesha!
clearly one of the best performances....i mean this song is stuck in my head and so is jesus christ superstar...people need to vote for TALENT and not looks and popularity...carly should still be here...jason and brook should have been in the bottom..ughhh LETS GET IT RIGHT AMERICA!!!!
I just love her! I still go back to these utube video clips. She has a great voice and personality. I mean, I think many can agree that the first American Idol is the best AI, but she's right up there. She's my personal favorite and I can't wait for her album. I don't care that she didn't win.
My first time seeing this.. but knew she was phenomenal for years, started following her when she did the love on top acapella . I really appreciate everythign she publishes. sh'e's top notch.. I'd much rather see her perform than 99% of other famous singers.. on a deserted island with a pick of 3 singers CD's to be stuck with, in the female category, her, vonzell solomon, and normoni come to mind.. come to think of it i wouldn't mind being stuck on the island with any of them lol.. oh and christina christianson.. oh Monica of course.. mya.. and there's one more singer that comes to mind.. i haven't listened to her in years, she sings gogo music now.. i forgot her name for right now.. i think she was a child singer..
i TOTTALY AGREE if it was a competition based on vocals, the top 4 would've been Syesha, Carly, David C, and David A. COME ON YOU-TUBERS! LET'S SHOW AMERICA! VOTE FOR SYESHA EVERY WEEK, AT LEAST 10 TIMES!!!
I agree with u MrCarrollJayWare. She should have won. She was the best by a good margin. I can't wait for her to become BIG and give Simon and the others the finger.
Andrew Lloyd Weber really nailed it when he said she would "bring the house down" and "add a different ingredient to the rest of the program". It was the best performance of the night. Very entertaining.
I thought thast she did a good job with song, but the r&b listener in me wanted her to Fantasia Barrino with this song and just knock it out the ball park, which she didn't do. Still, she did a very good job with this song and the performance was sexy. Bravo Syesha!
EVerybody, some people are using speed dialers or technical equipment to get 1,000s of votes in a short time. Please try to borrow one of these and vote for Syesha. I dont know anyone who has one. But every vote counts now. Vote as much as you can.
My only criticism about this performance? I liked her hair better in the preview video. I understand she wanted it to look chic and elegant, but the fro is fun and hip. But other that that, amazing. She definitely should have won that year!
i like her and i like this song so much xD. in my opinion though it was so hard to tell who was best for me because this top 3 was the most epic ever!!! haha such a great season =)
GUYS REALLY VOTE FOR FULL 2 NON-STOP HOURS FOR SYESHA TOMORROW!!! Don't assume her safety, cus she's not!! Jason fans will be voting full force, so let's get syesha more votes! Top 2/3 baby!!!!!!!

Her latest story brought me here. I pray that those who can help her and her family come to her rescue!
If they ever make Princess & the Frog into a musical she'd be perfect for Tiana!
I got goosebumps when I read your comment. I can almost hear her “Almost There” and it is fantastic!
I just read about her in the news today, a different subject though but this is the song I remembered her performing.
Exactly the same for me
This was one of my favorite performances of the season of all the contestants.
She was fantastic

I remember watching this live! It's hard to believe it's been 14 years!
I saw it live too! Never forgot- she really did a great job! lol
near perfection. she was REALLY in her element. she HAS to be safe tonight.
One of the reasons why I watch Idol 7 is b'coz of Syesha. She handpicks songs wisely, and her voice is unpredictably powerful. Hope to see ya in Broadway! x.
By far, was the best performance of that night, and one of my all time favorite performances on AI. 💜💜💜
Haters, stop hating on Syesha. This is the best performance on American Idol this year hands down. If you do not like her, why are you watching her videos? Go watch your boring David's.
I've wanted to adapt Starlight Express into a movie for awhile, and I think I've found my Pearl
syesha deserves more and im glad she is begining to be recognized.
She was the best vocalist of her season :).
This was also the best performance of the entire season :D
This young lady can really sing...I luv her voice.
And this song...yeah...she blew it up!
Hope she keeps using her talent!
OH MY FUCKING GOSH. The first and only time I heard this song was when she sang it on the show years ago, and I'm 13 now, and this was playing in my head... I search it and get the greatest feeling of nostalgia! HELP.

I LOVE Starlight Express!!!! Best ALW Musical EVER!!!!!
Why isn't this woman a STAR? BRAVO.
She was on fire that night! I was amazed. She just worked the stage. If she keeps performing this way she deserves to win it... hands down.
one of my favorite performances of this whole season
She is so amaizing.
I'm from Portugal, so the transmission of americam idol is litle late, but as soon has I heard her, I became a fan!
LOVE YOU SYESHA!

i may provoke you all but adam is the best singer and the highest male vocal range ive ever heard............
so bad he didn't win american idol
agreed! She sounds amazing!!!
Andrew Lloyd Weber really nailed it when he said she would "bring the house down" and "add a different ingredient to the rest of the program". It was the best performance of the night. Very entertaining.
Finally a performance from Syesha the judges didn't shit all over.
I love this performance
Rooting for you
Very memorable performance - Syesha knows who she is and brought the house down
lovin this performance
HER BEST
no, it was the sound, it cut off "one nights sleep" and it kicked back in on the too few
I thought thast she did a good job with song, but the r&b listener in me wanted her to Fantasia Barrino with this song and just knock it out the ball park, which she didn't do. Still, she did a very good job with this song and the performance was sexy. Bravo Syesha!
That was AMAZING..
i love her!!
I can see why she would go on to have a huge broadway career, she showed great talent and stage presence.
Splendiferous!
