Very much agree. She's sweet, gorgeous, the nicest smile I have EVER seen and her song the other night was (like Randy & Paula said) brilliant. Just the whole package. But she's always had a target on her back for some reason, and she must know it's just a matter of time. (But her & David Cook are my 2 favorites--and at least she'll be part of that overhyped tour.)

I think Syesha's problem stems from the fact that until 2 weeks ago, she really didn't show very much promise. She's had two stellar weeks, but everything before that was just so-so. I think most people tend to vote based on a competitor's body of work and not on what they do on any given night, which is why a person like Ramiele can get away with having a horrible night like she had this week. Or why David A. can forget the lyrics 3 different times in one performance and not even end up in the bottom 3.

Unfortunately for Syesha, early impressions can be hard to overcome. Many people have already picked their favorites and it's going to be difficult for her to displace them.
