People on Sucks just don't get Syesha and don't know why she hasn't been voted off. Since I seem to be the closest thing here to a genuine fan of hers, I'll give it a shot. First, let's remember that about 15-20% of AI's audience is black. But there's virtually no blacks on Sucks, so we are NOT typical of the show's viewing audience in that regard. That's no big deal (blacks aren't on the internet much, period) but people shouldn't forget how it skews our preferences. Anyway, as the only black women in the finals, it's statistically no surprise she's still around. Besides having 3 black winners , AI has never had an all-white top 6 (or 5). And as a beautiful, busty woman who knows how to dress (in a year when the other women are mostly 0 for 3 in these areas), she's surely attracted a decent number of heterosexual white males as casual supporters also. Me, for one.

Now onto Syesha's singing. She's basically an average quality R&B Idol singer. Her big high notes are screechy as hell, but she can at least DO them (bye Michael), and her lower register is fine (Me & Mr. Jones, Yesterday). She also has decent dynamics, switching smoothly from soft to loud. She hasn't done anything amazing in this regard (I for one would like to see her try to switch BACK to soft sometime), and probably can't, but she hasn't had a trainwreck either. In short, she's not really much if any worse than Trenyce or Vonzell, the singers she musically resembles the most. Vonzell was far more likable, but she really wasn't a great singer either. So given Syesha's solid fanbase, all she had to do to get from top 10 to top 6 is be okay. Which she has. And she's had some good performances as well. I can think of nights when she was AMONG the worst singers (Got To Get You Into My Life, I Believe) but no night when she was definitely THE worst. The bottom line is that Syesha will be gone soon. This is no tragedy, though I do think she deserves to outlast Brooke. Hopefully, this explanation will help to clarify her appeal somewhat.
