Syesha Mercado Writes To Me Again on MySpace - 07/06/08

My eyes feel so heavy...tomorrow is another day off, but I have a lot to take care of.
So, tonight was amazing there was a lot less kids, but it was still great. All the Idols were wondering why a lot of people did not stand up that were seated on the floor seats. Well, it wasn't until after the show I found out that the venue didn't allow them to. Funny thing is I told everyone to stand up during my song..lol. I didn't even know.
Wow my eyes are burning just craving for sleep.
The crowd after the show today was a lot more tamed. It doesn't matter tamed or not I love every crowd. They make me feel so good!
I just wanted to say I love the people who yelled out after my set "We Love You Syesha" I looked and smiled that way in the darkness and said, "Thank You" I'm so sorry I didn't say "I love you too" I feel horrible. I said it in my head and my smile said it, but the words didn't come out. I love ya'll!
To anyone that writes messages to me........by the end of the night it's either stay up and read all my messages or rest my voice. I usually rest my voice and sometimes read a few, but believe me when I get more time I will check and answer them like I use to. I'm trying to answer everyone. Just know I know you are there and I appreciate the support!
Syesha's Thoughts:
Advice to the Idol Newcomers;
If you are a hard worker Idol is the right place for you!
Audition because it is on your heart not someone else's. You are the only one who can live your dream, so if it isn't your dream do what is. When your heart is fully into something you will excel. You must do what makes you happy!
The nerves are always going to be there, but you can control them and tame them if you try. Everyone is different. But, there is a way to calm down the mind and body right before your shinning moment: Pray, Meditate on Positive things and outcomes, talk to someone who is positive and will make you feel good (get yah spirit uplifted).
Practice so you will feel less nervous. The more prepared I am the less nervous I am. Take away that stress and doubt..... Prepare! My acting teacher once told me that......
Luck is Preparation meets opportunity! This is true!
Show those judges that you belong there by commanding there attention. Show them who you are from the start. Show them "YOU". Smile and just SING! Everything will fall into place. And if it doesn't happen now that only means it's not the time to happen yet.
Muah! I love ya'll...see yah on the road. Oh by the way when you focus on what you want it happens for you!....My dress the first one that didn't work out is being fixed so I can wear for the L.A. show...Yay!
[Somebody take a picture of this "dress" Syesha has been talking about for days now in LA...]
