- And to keep the bad choices coming, Syesha's doing Yesterday. I fear for her tomorrow. You have to pull off that song with utter simplicity or you're going to hopelessly oversing it and turn it into a caricature (unless you're Ray Charles, which I think we're safe in assuming Syesha is not).
- She gets a little special face time, which after the last few weeks she needs.
- About as simple as it could be, arrangement-wise, at the start (acoustic guitar). She takes a few liberties with the tune, with mixed success. And here comes the glory notes. Oh well. So much for simplicity.
- Randy notes the liberties, but liked them. That's Paula's cue to wax about her vulnerability. Simon thought it was her best. Guess they want Syesha in the show. And of course Simon thinks that was the best song choice. Heavens.
