One Rock and Roll Too Many

Syesha starts off with a glitch, singing off beat, but since most of the voting audience has never heard Starlight Express, no foul. Points to Syesha for zigging instead of zagging (who didn't think she was going to sing Memory?), and for the first time, she seems as personable on stage as off.
