 American
Idol: The Odds Are
Against Syesha
With
three left in this
season's American
Idol competition,
only two are
considered viable
winners: David
Archuleta and David
Cook, at least when
it comes to the
press that has
surrounded these two
over nearly the past
ten weeks. But
a funny thing
happened on the way
to this week's
American Idol
standoff.
Syesha Mercado, a
Miami native,
remained consistent
while other Idol
wannabes like Brooke
White and Jason
Castro, started to
flop.
Mercado indeed has
had some shining
moments. As
the lone female left
standing, she also
has a significant
edge coming into
this week.
Doug
Debolt of
the-trades.com:
In the past few
weeks, she (Syesha)
discovered her
voice, so to speak.
Now she's performing
like someone who
really wants to win,
and she's going to
come close.
Honestly, a bad week
from one of the
Davids matched with
a great week from
Syesha could spell a
very unexpected
finale. If she's
going to have any
chance, she'll need
to bring back one of
her biggest moments,
and none was bigger
for her this season
than Andrew Lloyd
Webber's "One Rock
'N Roll Too Many.
The
odds, however, are
stacked against
Syesha.
Sportsbook.com
would pay out $20
for every $1 bet
compared to both
David's who pay
around $1 for every
$1 bet. In
other words, the
oddsmakers believe
Syesha is dead in
the water.
Granted, the value
and payout potential
is extremely good at
this point in the
process.

American Idol Shows Signs of Over Saturation There is concern in recent weeks over plunging ratings for the Fox smash hit American Idol, now in its seventh season. While still dominant in the ratings, the show has been losing significant viewership, and some of that might have to do with over saturation and expansion of the result show into a one hour format. |
