If you can sing anything off Mariah's debut album in the right key and everything, you can sing. However, I am glad no one tried to do Vision of Love. They would have been a MESS lol
imagine with If It's over, anyway I watched Mariah's performance of this song at MSG in 1993. Jesus she was the greatest vocalist of all time in her prime
Yeah, admittedly she did go slightly, JUST slightly off-key a couple times during her live performance, but really, with an empowering and tremendously, superbly powerful voice like that, that factor is assuredly overlooked. She has MAD vocals; she was definitely my favorite in this season alongside Michael Johns. It's kind of a bummer though because I REALLY wanted her to be in the Final 2, and this performance proves why she deserved to be there.
An alto is a term in choral singing only, and no she is not a contralto. She has an amazing lower register yet her overall vocal tone is bright and high, her mastery of melismas in every register makes her a coloratura soprano :) She is a rare phenomenon she can cover 5 octaves of singing from baritone, to high soprano :)
I always get frustrated with the judges when it comes to Syesha... She's a great singer, all of her performances were great, yet they only gave her the compliments she deserve during "One Rock and Roll too Many" Oh well, the seasons long done... she reached 3rd place, plus she's starring in the Dreamgirls tour as Deena Jones and is working on her album! Although the judges didn't praise her much, God continues to bless her... which is what's important. Go Syesha!!! Go Season 7 Idols!!! :)
Last night I watched a show about former American Idol contestants and what they're doing now and Syesha is oneof the few I remember. I reallyhope to hear her on the radio one day. She's great!
Living in other country, I've never watched this show, did not know who this girl is and so on. But I watched her and listened to her with my jaw dropped. She is AMAZING!!! Beautiful, talented, with heavenly voice. I'll go google now and see if she has cd or what, because she is SO F...CKING GOOD.
Oh my GOD!!! This is the first time I listen to her... Are you serious??? She didn't win??? Who won her edition, who was superior to her??? Said by a true Whitney's fan... This was a STUNNING performance!!!
LOL I know but I really give her props for taking on this behemoth.That song is incredibly hard to sing with all the low notes and runs and melisma and tone changes;you name it,it's in there. Mariah uses like her entire range in this song. I just watched a live performance of this from 90 or 91 and she makes it look effortless. I agree with what Simon said but it also works to her advantage too because people would start comparing and although this was good, it pales in comparison 2 the original
It was so mess to say something negativ after such a brilliant brillinat Performance ! You have to be an outstanding Singer to sing that Song in a good way , and she made it brilliant , there ist nothing more to say !
So let's talk about how beautiful Paula is first...Vanishing is my favorite of all Mariah's songs...I know the song so well it's hard to listen to others singing it. Go to Mariah's REHEARSAL for SNL of Vanishing. Make sure you go to the REHEARSAL...she beyond kills it. It's simply frightening.
American Idol had some dope contestants I have her in my top 08 for favorite contestants : □ Fantasia ■ LaPorsha Renae □ Paris Bennett ■ Syesha Mercado ■ Amber Holcomb □ Lil Rounds □ Jennifer Hudson □ Ruben Studdard
lol I agree but I definitely give her props for trying.I think the fact that most people never heard the song helped her more than hurt her 'cause they couldn't compare the two versions.. This was good, but the original mops the floor with this.
What were the judges on that night. Everything all the boys did was amazing and everything all the girls did was either mediocre or bad and they actually weren't. Syesha deserved to be in the top three for voting that week, not bottom three.
The voice and vocal there.. just execution coz as paula said its nothing to be compared (singing in a same genre) plus its a good yet technically challenging song per Randy so what left own a fantastic performance emotionally
I liked her vocals here, but I didn't like how she did the run towards the end too early. Part of what made this song so great was Mariah's expert timing.
Syesha will be American Idol greatest regret before it is over. They are constantly choosing less talented singers to sign and over looking amazing talents like Syesha. This young lady has the most amazing voice I have ever heard on American Idol. She will be around long after some of the singers they chose over her.
@kelvinpyaeko i agree with you on so many levels! now i do watch idol but there are really only a FEW now these past seasons who can really sing and hae the potential to be a great singer. haley reinhart is one of those, which is why she's my fav now and sadly she prob won't win because america doesn't like those who are differnet and show us how it is really done
notice syesha said at the end simon likes the song. he told her the previous evening that he liked the song yet he tells her here it wasn't a good idea
@kelvinpyaeko oh you watch too?!! YAAAAAAYYYYY wait aren't we friends? yep we are! antyway yep my girl haley always killing it! I love her voice and her technique is good too which i also love. her belting really cuts through me as well as her magnificent control over her vocals, kinda reminds me of my wifey mariah-they way they are both able to manipulate their voices to do what ever they want i mean. yeah lauren and scotty need to GO! but yeah that why im waitin for tonight's results!!
@MrButler124 ofcoz, we are LOL u forgot that we even talked about her on our channels back n forth :) and i agree with u on everything. have to wait for tonight results wooo
Amazing. The thing that made me raise my eyebrow though was that she didn't use her upper register in this performance. That would've been beyond amazing!
I love how Mariah hit that low note and Syesha was thinking like, oh hell no I can't do that. lol....
Lmao she even said "wait… what"
lol
and she didnt hh
Laugh out loud
Actually she couldn't! She ever did the low notes!
If you can sing anything off Mariah's debut album in the right key and everything, you can sing. However, I am glad no one tried to do Vision of Love. They would have been a MESS lol
I've never seen anyone do justice to the melisma part
Meg Cabot I know this one contestant on the Voice UK names Christina Bianca sang it for her blind audition and it sounded really good
Also Christina Marie of The Voice UK sang Vision of Love. The looks on the other contestant's faces were priceles. 😂
I can do everything except the whistle and it PISSES me off.
imagine with If It's over, anyway I watched Mariah's performance of this song at MSG in 1993. Jesus she was the greatest vocalist of all time in her prime
No one could ever top Mariah, but she did a damn good job. Such a beautiful voice- she should've won that season.
Ikr... She should've won..
The judges were so unfair to Syesha the entire season.
yes. they did not want a female to win . I believe it was a money thing . they believe women equal less dollars
She definitely deserved to win, that was a very tough song.
Simon did the same thing with Vonzell Solomon on season 4 :(
@@thiago.dantas yep :( they did vonzell so dirty i legit get mad when i think of it lmao
WTF She SLAYED This & Those Runs Are Really Hard To Do
Seriously. such a hard song to sing and she nailed it.
She still didn't make the notes that Mariah gave her lol
But that was like her least challenging song. Even Vanishing is harder.
Yeah, admittedly she did go slightly, JUST slightly off-key a couple times during her live performance, but really, with an empowering and tremendously, superbly powerful voice like that, that factor is assuredly overlooked. She has MAD vocals; she was definitely my favorite in this season alongside Michael Johns.

@Nox Eath yes this was in reply to someone who deleted their comment
She sounds like a mezzo to me.
she's actually one of the few people who did mariah and a mariah song justice. very good job
& That Vibrato She Has Is Stunning
mariah looks incredible in this video
She Sounded Just Like Mariah On That Last Sustained Note
I was thinking the exact same thing, she sounded like Mariah in her debut era.
The key is the same as the original.
yeah, but this is the best rendition of this song in youtube, besides Mariah Mariah of course lol
MARIAH = BOSS
MARIAH = DUMB
@@sniderclark4250 = DUMBECILE
her voice is amazing and vanishing is my favorite song 😘😘😘
I always get frustrated with the judges when it comes to Syesha...

Sorry i just heard mariah's live of this song, a huge comparison.
This is just too hard for her.
coco baby Her live SNL rehearsal version is the best one!!! Mariah herself can't replicate it
wow!!! This song never got the recognition it deserves. I love Vanishing. GREAT job!!.
*~ Rookie ☆.*
Beautiful. She should of won!
She should HAVE won!
I see y'all out here being so critical but I mean I'd give anything to sound as good as syesha though...
best cover of this song
true that
Last night I watched a show about former American Idol contestants and what they're doing now and Syesha is oneof the few I remember. I reallyhope to hear her on the radio one day. She's great!
God this girl is awesome, she should have won! What a voice! In my opinion one of the best singers after Kelly and Jordin the show has ever had!
Astonishing performance
Living in other country, I've never watched this show, did not know who this girl is and so on. But I watched her and listened to her with my jaw dropped. She is AMAZING!!! Beautiful, talented, with heavenly voice. I'll go google now and see if she has cd or what, because she is SO F...CKING GOOD.
Shes having amazing voice!
The King Likewise❤11/22/18
Mariah's speaking voice is alto but her singing voice is a light lyric soprano :)
Gave me chills... I remember watching this when it was live... I was blown away
Oh my GOD!!! This is the first time I listen to her... Are you serious??? She didn't win??? Who won her edition, who was superior to her??? Said by a true Whitney's fan... This was a STUNNING performance!!!
The judges (especially Simon) gave her so much shit that season. All for the sake of a rather lackluster David vs. David finale
Ikr such bullshit
I think they decide early in the season who will be in the finals.
i love how shes lookin at the camera while hitting the high notes at the end
We need her singing again so talented
OMG this lady did that👑🙌🔥
wow good job this is the hardest mariah song ever!
I love this song and that was a very good performance - a pleasure to watch:D
She did a great job!
this performance was so underrated...i don't why it didn't get more praise.
LOL I know but I really give her props for taking on this behemoth.That song is incredibly hard to sing with all the low notes and runs and melisma and tone changes;you name it,it's in there. Mariah uses like her entire range in this song. I just watched a live performance of this from 90 or 91 and she makes it look effortless. I agree with what Simon said but it also works to her advantage too because people would start comparing and although this was good, it pales in comparison 2 the original
she slayed that
exactly even though vanishing wasn't relesased, it was my favorite song on the "Mariah Carey" album i have listened to it numerous times
It was so mess to say something negativ after such a brilliant brillinat Performance !
You have to be an outstanding Singer to sing that Song in a good way , and she made it brilliant , there ist nothing more to say !
this is the toughest song ever for singing....nobody can do it justice like mariah.and thats a fact!
I think she did the best with what she had and this was a solid performance :)
So let's talk about how beautiful Paula is first...Vanishing is my favorite of all Mariah's songs...I know the song so well it's hard to listen to others singing it. Go to Mariah's REHEARSAL for SNL of Vanishing. Make sure you go to the REHEARSAL...she beyond kills it. It's simply frightening.
Syesha has one of the best ranges in Idol! She can sing high and low both beautifully. This was a awesome performance. To bad Simon didn't agree.
Great cover! Omg :o
Those transitions omg 🥰
I had forgotten how high Paula was on this show. I miss that.
My earliest memory of a Mariah song was Vanishing...its beautiful and I think she did a good job.
Wow love her beautiful voice
Vanishing is amazing
So beautiful
I love Syesha, so amazing!!! I love this Mariah's song.
this season was the Best!! Seriously!! i miss that...
Beautiful musicality 💓💜💙✨✨🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great performance one of the best on AI. Syesha and Latoya my all time favorites on AI beautiful and amazing voices. And it was not pitchy or shouty
DON'T HAVE WORDS
Syesha is sooo lucky, Mariah is soo great and talented. Syesha is really good too!
American Idol had some dope contestants I have her in my top 08 for favorite contestants :
□ Fantasia
■ LaPorsha Renae
□ Paris Bennett
■ Syesha Mercado
■ Amber Holcomb
□ Lil Rounds
□ Jennifer Hudson
□ Ruben Studdard
so awesome
Perfect
She's already working on it! :) If all things turn out good, expect an album from her early next year! :)
this was the best season ever!! after season 7 there were nothing like it!!!
lol I agree but I definitely give her props for trying.I think the fact that most people never heard the song helped her more than hurt her 'cause they couldn't compare the two versions.. This was good, but the original mops the floor with this.
What were the judges on that night. Everything all the boys did was amazing and everything all the girls did was either mediocre or bad and they actually weren't. Syesha deserved to be in the top three for voting that week, not bottom three.
Looks like Syesha didn't take Mariah's tips on the part "..drifting away..."
The voice and vocal there.. just execution coz as paula said its nothing to be compared (singing in a same genre) plus its a good yet technically challenging song per Randy so what left own a fantastic performance emotionally
The judges comments makes me feel old. I'm 30 and remember that song like it was released yesterday!
that not many people actually know about "vanishing"?? WTF paula and simon got it tremendously wrong there. . .
Well done girl ! You need courage for try it and you do it 👍🏻
It is just me or she really miss the key on a lot of the notes on this song.
I totally agree with you, I think maybe the last three seasons were, not so much on the votes but on what the judges say.
another style, different from mariah and so ‘00s but sooo cool! ♥️
love how she changed the “away”
u will her cd's comin out soon
i agree Vanishing is one of, if not THE most difficult song i've ever sung to date
Wow Mariah looked AMAZING in this video!!!
I liked her vocals here, but I didn't like how she did the run towards the end too early. Part of what made this song so great was Mariah's expert timing.
LMFBO I WILL NEVER GET OVER HOW MUCH MARIAH SHITTED ON SYESHA WITH THE "...away..." MELISMA HAHA!
LOL, Mariah just didn't get it, Syesha doesn't have the alto range xD, that low note of MC sounds stunning
Syesha will be American Idol greatest regret before it is over. They are constantly choosing less talented singers to sign and over looking amazing talents like Syesha. This young lady has the most amazing voice I have ever heard on American Idol. She will be around long after some of the singers they chose over her.
@kelvinpyaeko i agree with you on so many levels! now i do watch idol but there are really only a FEW now these past seasons who can really sing and hae the potential to be a great singer. haley reinhart is one of those, which is why she's my fav now and sadly she prob won't win because america doesn't like those who are differnet and show us how it is really done
notice syesha said at the end simon likes the song. he told her the previous evening that he liked the song yet he tells her here it wasn't a good idea
I would love for Mariah to vocally teach me! Learning from a true legend!
sHE DID GOOD
syesha knew they didn't want her too win
so agree with you
when is she gonna have her own album?
"somebody's doing the wrong note" is all i can think of lol.
OMG! I remember her, she was very talented. What happened? :(
@kelvinpyaeko oh you watch too?!! YAAAAAAYYYYY wait aren't we friends? yep we are! antyway yep my girl haley always killing it! I love her voice and her technique is good too which i also love. her belting really cuts through me as well as her magnificent control over her vocals, kinda reminds me of my wifey mariah-they way they are both able to manipulate their voices to do what ever they want i mean. yeah lauren and scotty need to GO! but yeah that why im waitin for tonight's results!!
she did, on "Drifting so faar away"
@dudddis vanishing is less known compared to 'vision of love' 'emotions' 'hero' or some of her commercially successful songs.
@MrButler124 ofcoz, we are LOL u forgot that we even talked about her on our channels back n forth :) and i agree with u on everything. have to wait for tonight results wooo
Vanishing is my favorite song of all time with Mariah Carey
mariah doesn't like singers who copy her style tht's why she really mentors these contestants...the reason she got agitated with regine
OMG she should have won for this alone!
0:27 LMAO
please Mariah, not everyone has 5 octaves like you
Why didn't she try the low notes?
Amazing.
The thing that made me raise my eyebrow though was that she didn't use her upper register in this performance. That would've been beyond amazing!
