Syesha Mercado
Saving All My Love For You
The judges wasted a lot of time tonight, so in the rush to get to the lie detectors on Moment of Truth, all Syesha gets for feedback is 'good,' 'good,' 'predictable-but-good.' It's a shame, since her note-for-note Whitney Houston cover really is note-for-note: controlled in the verses, reckless and taut in the bridge. She may not be particularly creative, but Syesha delivers the huskiest, roughest and most riveting vocal of the night.
