The “American Idol” judges told Syesha Mercado that they didn’t quite know who she was as an artist.

So who is Syesha, People magazine asked?

“I’m a mix of a lot of things,” she told People the day after finding out she wouldn’t make it to the “Idol” finale. “I’m like a black Christina Aguilera [or] Alicia Keys. I definitely can see myself putting together a Christina Aguilera album, the one that she just recently did, and an Alicia Keys album like ‘The Diary of Alicia Keys.’

“You’ll know who I am once I put out that album,” she said.
