Yes, Shyesha has really been coming on strong, but you also have to look at how the vote will split...sometimes it's not so much the talent, but other factors that begin to play at this point...some want a female idol...or black...or young...or a rocker....and the talent itself doesn't really matter as much...the two Davids might split the 'male' vote and give Shyesha a chance to slip in...

That would be crazy if Syesha ended up in the final after the number of times she's been in the bottom 2 or 3. Still, your logic makes sense bayou... it'll be interesting.

OK...tonite she even got a lackluster comment from Paula, and ya know Paula don't diss no one...

But there's still a shot....depends on the callers...the two Davids at about 10% don't look too bad!

I thought Syesha was significantly better than Archuleta tonight in all three performances, but the judges have pretty clearly called a favorite. Too bad. Even though I have a LOT of money on boy-boy finale I think Syesha deserves it more.
