Syesha Mercado.

Fever by Peggy Lee

She intends to *ahem* use and .. um ... work ... a chair. Did I take my BP meds this morning? Mysterious violins start, as she slinks into a chair center-stage. She nails the first line in a sultry, southern way. The backup singers are perfect here. This song has been done before, and done well on this show. But I don't remember feeling the song before. She's making me feel it ... there. Even the up-octave sounds fairly good to me. When she slithers out of the chair, she turns it into a full-fledged stage act. The ending, incredibly understated and leaving you wanting more.

A 9.

Randy: A very interesting song choice at this point. But you sang it amazingly well. (He sounds bored.) Great performance.
Paula: Out of all the songs you chose to sing, surprised you chose this one. Not sure it shows me who Syesha is as an artist.
Audience: UMMMMMM ....
Syesha: Okay.
Simon: You'll probably regret that decision tomorrow. You had a chance to show you were a contemporary artist. Instead, you did a lame cabaret performance.
