Syesha Mercado
Tobacco Road
Talent has an interesting way of outing itself, and even though she was "pitchy" and a little shaky on the big close, Syesha is the first revelation of the night. Her sinewy voice strains just a bit at the top of her range, which gives her the sound of an experienced singer with a little character. Syesha also performs with her whole body, suggesting she may have the ability to get lost in a song.
