Syesha Mercado Discovers That Smug And Preschool Trump Pretty

Syesha Mercado unsurprisingly was bounced from American Idol last night. The remaining two contestants are smug, fully-aware-that-he's-going-to-be-a-rock-star David Cook and your paperboy David Archuleta.

Syesha didn't tear up and held it together as she just said "thank you" for the experience. She seems like a nice girl. She sang "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys as her outro. Didn't that already get her bad reviews? Doesn't matter now.

It looks to be a fairly close race next week, with Simon describing it as a "humdinger." Or maybe he was talking about what Seacrest gave him one time.
