Yes, she seriously did.
Despite that very unfortunate comment, I do hope that she gets to stay.

She did, and it blew my mind. I guess I can appreciate that she got a personal meaning from the lyrics, but to compare her journey on AI to the Civil Rights Movement? That just can't be a good thing.
For what it's worth, I loved Jason doing ISTS. Now, that was reality TV.
Unfortunately, I'm weak and can't wait to watch tonight. If somehow Jason stays another week, I expect Randy's head to implode on camera.

yikes!
I must say I actively detest the corn-pone arrangements and choreography that the AI contestants are forced to perform. How embarrassed they must be! (especially David Cook!!)

As happy as I am that Jason is gone, this would have made for some interesting TV.

Jason seemed more joyous and free than I've ever seen him when he sang his swan song. I think he's happy now.

What kind of people?

In fairness to Syesha, I don't think that her comments were very clearly planned out. I seriously doubt that she actually believes that there's some comparison to her struggle and the Civil Rights Movement. She just saw a thread of a connection metaphorically and it was meaningful to her on both levels.
And to Bama...I strongly disagree that she was trying to get sympathy by expressing her feelings about the song she sang. You'll believe what you will though.

L.A. and Pretty-
I would ignore all comments by Bama. He has made ridiculous comments all over these boards that clearly demonstrate his ignorance.

I'm not much of an AI fan, but I get to watch occasionally. I'm happy with last night's results (Jason really deserved to go based on Tuesday's performance), but I'm honestly not much of a fan of anyone.
Clearly, David A. had the best performance Tuesday night (IMO), but I can't really see him being hugely successful on his own. David Cook appears to have too small of a niche (but then again, I've not seen much of the season). Syesha is good, but I think she and David A. are in the same boat - once the show is over, no one will really remember much about them... even if one of them wins.
I'm beginning to wonder whether AI has run its course.

In other news, Tampa Bay is going Syesha crazy! They have TV performances and all these public appearings scheduled tomorrow. They are trying to get as many people as possible to come out to them.
I am not a big Syesha fan at all, I think she should have gone home weeks ago, but apparently I am the only one in the Bay area who thinks so at the moment!

I'm in the bay area and I agree! Syesha is boring and she sounds like every other female AI finalist.
I'm still depressed that Jason is gone lol...I guess it was kinda his time because he wasn't as strong as the other competitors, but he does have a beautiful voice I would definitely enjoy music that he put out way more than music of the other three
