Yesterday


"American Idol" contestants spent another night interpreting Lennon-McCartney Beatles songs last night. Many contestants adopted the same strategies as last week and they also picked some of the Beatles' "smaller" songs. Among the more interesting repeat-strategy numbers was another country-fied performance by Chikezie, this one of "I've Just Seen a Face." Not picking a "small" song was Michael Johns, who performed "A Day in the Life." But the biggest transformation and best performance was by Sarasota, Florida's own Syesha Mercado, whose powerful but poignant, sophisticated but sentimental performance of "Yesterday" (sans string quartet) was the highlight of the evening.
