"Idol" party brings out revelers

Metromix made it out to the weekly “American Idol" viewing party that has become a staple at Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino, but this time the party moved from the cozy confines of Frank’s Energy Beach to the racetrack’s Breezeway Bar in anticipation of inclement weather. The reception inside, however, was nothing but sunny for hometown girl Sayesha Mercado, with family, friends and fans alike decked out in shirts and hats showing their support for the local chanteuse who has defied the odds and made it down to the final five.
