I Will Always Love You
Syesha goes all King Solomon on this song, splitting it in two between the Dolly and Whitney versions. The former half is nice enough and sedate, but then she opens up the airplane hangar to unleash those Whitney Houston jet engines of power notes, and runs into some turbulence. Syesha, Syesha! It's the first commandment of American Idol: Invite Unto Thyself Not Comparisons With Whitney Houston.
