Chikezie voted off American Idol
Article has been viewed by 2 visitors so farChikezie or Chikezie Eze the only African American guy to reach top 10 in American Idol 7 this season was voted off Wednesday on American Idol.
Chikezie born on 1985, sang “If Only For One Night” by Luther Vandross. Chikezie, 22, of Inglewood, Calif., injected his own name, Chikezie, in every way it is possible to inject Chikezie, in every performance. But Wednesday is to be the last time Chikezie will not be able to continue interjecting the name Chikezie on performance night.
The others in the bottom three, were Jason Castro and Syesha Mercado. I’m surprised since one of the biggest audience of American Idol is actually the African-American community, and the bottom three consisted of two, of African-American descent, Chikezie and Syesha Mercado, with the eventual goner, Chikezie, who is African-American.
I guess the audience of American Idol 7 is colorblind this time, choosing musical ability rather than just their race. Filipina Ramiele Malubay is safe for now. But Kristy Lee Cook must go but she was very clever choosing the very patriotic God Bless America, how wise!
Here’s Chikezie with his goodbye song, “If Only For One Night” ..his wish was granted:
In the news lately, some of the Idols have been dropped by their record companies. Not a very smart PR move for American Idol. I could careless about Katherine McPhee, sad for Rubin but upset about Taylor Hicks. It is very unfortunate that the record company that he signed with did not properly promote him like they did for Daughtry. I like Daughtry too, but Taylor was not given his due. Taylor, after all was the winner.
