Syesha Mercado Eliminated On American Idol

Virtually nobody was surprised when Syesha Mercado got eliminated last week on American Idol. In doing so, the field was narrowed down to just two participants - David Archuleta and David Cook.

Even Mercado seemed to believe it was inevitable. “I had a feeling I was going home,” she said. “Especially after the bad commentary I got for the two songs I did.”

Both Paula Abdul and the evil genius Simon Cowell thought Syesha made a mistake by choosing to perform the song “Fever” last Tuesday night.

And according to Syesha, she was in total agreement with the judges.

“I had other choices in mind, but I couldn’t do them,” she said. Which, of course, leads to the question: Why wasn’t Syesha allowed to perform the songs she wanted to?

I’m betting that Al Sharpton knows.

AMERICAN IDOL - BODOG ODDS

So now it’s David vs. David in the finals. A look over at Bodog shows the current odds to be:

David Archuleta +170

David Cook -250

I find the above odds to be interesting, as most people felt teenybopper Archuleta had the competition won from the very first show. Suddenly, that no longer seems to be the case. If I were looking for a nice underdog, I wouldn’t mind going with the guy who was favored for months.
