American Idol - Chikezie Goes Home

FOX Wednesday 9/8c 3/26/08

American Idol is now down to nine, with Chikezie the most recently discarded contestant. Chikezie had two distinct problems every week; his wardrobe, and his song choice.

While he did a nice job for a couple of weeks in a row, Chikezie ultimately fell back to the ballads that he apparently loves. This never worked well for him, and thus led to his demise this week on the American Idol Elimination show.

Rounding out the bottom three tonight was Syesha Mercado and Jason Castro. Jason said he was "freaked out all day" because he knew he was going to be in the bottom three after his haphazard performance of Sting's "Fragile" last night. Simon warned Jason on last nights Idol that he had better start taking his performances more seriously. This should be his wake up call.

I think Ramiele Malubay was much weaker last night than Syesha, but fan base is what counts. Syesha needs to pick better songs, or she may be next to exit American Idol.
