Syesha Mercado Top 12 American Idol

Yipeee! Syesha Mercado will be advancing American Idol's competition into the Top 24. Syesha Mercado was the favorite and easily won the spot in the Top 24 American Idol list.

The next steps for Syesha Mercado is the weekly competition rounds leading up to American Idol's Top 12. Unlike previous American Idol competition's, these are voted on by you the viewer, not determined by the judges. No one doubts that Syesha Mercado has what it takes to make the American Idol top 12. All that stands in the way is a poor performance or poor song choice, or perhaps even a bad night by the judges.

Syesha Mercado certainly has a bank of songs to choose from. However, as we've seen in the past, some American Idol hopefuls do a poor job of choosing songs and this could be Syesha Mercado's downfall on the American Idol stage. Who knows what she will come out of the gate with. A song from Michael Jackson or one from the Dirty South Beats?

Syesha Mercado will need the smooth yet powerful voice to help advance in the competition, no doubt. And let’s face it. There have been American Idol contestants in the past who’ve made it a long ways in the competition that wasn’t as talented as Syesha Mercado. Sometimes it’s not the most talented that go on to the final 12 in American Idol competition, sometimes it’s nothing more than a local favorite getting their hometown (or home state or home country…read Sanjiya the Indian Idol as they call him) to vote for them.

Syesha Mercado has what it takes to make it to the Top 3 in the American Idol competition, the only question at this time is can it be done with a fickle crowd and can the song choices and performances go off without a hitch?

You'll have to turn on American Idol and watch American Idol every week to see if Syesha Mercado can wow the fans of American Idol.
