Syesha Mercado leaves American Idol, making it David versus David in the end —
reality blurred
Syesha Mercado was voted off American Idol 7 last night, leaving finalists David Cook and David Archuleta, two people who could essentially be replaced with cardboard cutouts on stage and we wouldn't know the difference as long as they were singing off-stage. I kid, but what was perhaps most remarkable last night was Fantasia's performance, as she has more talent and charisma than this year's ...

TVgasm Recaps
I'm not surprised that Syesha got kicked off at all. But, I am a little surprised that Mayor Daniel Snarr of Murray, Utah declared May 9, 2008 as "David Archuleta Day." Which happens to be the same day as "Syesha Mercado Day" declared by Gwen Brown. There was no notice, no myspace bulletin...I mean how was I supposed to celebrate with no notice? How rude! AND, how rude that David Cook ...

Tonight's elimination from American Idol's Top 3 was no surprise . Syesha Mercado got the boot, but she should be proud that she got as far as she did because I don't think many people thought she would have predicted she'd be in the Top 3. photo courtesy of PR Photos/www.prphotos.com So it's down to the two David's: David Archuleta and David Cook.

‘American Idol’: So Long, Syesha! —
Vulture
Last night on American Idol — even though David Cook's performances of crappy Aerosmith and Collective Soul songs were marked by his typical ear-bending pitchiness, and even though Vulture favorite David Archuleta made an ill-informed, semi-hilarious attempt to win over fans of urban radio — Syesha Mercado still was not able to overcome the tragic fact that her name is not ...
