Syesha's whirlwind Friday

Syesha Mercado, the sole female standing among Idol's Top 3 (and now my choice to win) will hit her Sarasota hometown Friday morning for a day's worth of promotional activities. Look for a story in Saturday's Miami Herald with a report on her appearances. (Syesha also has Miami support given that she's a Florida International University student).

But if you just have to see her for yourself Friday, get in the car and head to these places:

• Early morning, 9ish, Syesha will hit several radio stations, 91.3 and 100.7, and the Tampa Fox affiliate TV station to film spots and chatter.
• At 10:30 a.m. she is expected to be at the downtown Bradenton AT&T Store, 4708 Cortez Rd.
• At 12:30 p.m. she is expected at the Booker High School where they'll do a rally in her honor.
• At 3:30 p.m., she's at the Ringling Museum, 5401 Bayshore Rd. for an appearance.
• Later afternoon, she'll perform with her band at Tropicana Field (? -- not sure of spelling).

It would have been cool if she came to Miami for a bit too!

They always have to go to their hometown for footage on Idol on Top 3 show. Miami's not her home town, altho she did go to FIU here. I spoke to her professors and a friend and will have a feed into a story we will run Saturday.
