First, I'll emphasize I predicted tonight's elimination correctly.
It's no major surprise, especially since Chikezie struggled in sustaining a fan base early on. He picked up some energy with two consecutive weeks of bluegrass performances, but choosing a ballad this week ultimately did him in.
I don't think it was the specific song choice -- although that didn't help curb parallels to Ruben Studdard -- but instead I think the switch in genres made fans more uncertain of his musical identity. Is he a bluegrass singer? A soulful crooner? I still don't know.
I'll miss him, especially since at times he was one of the few contestants who really did seem genuine.
Thoughts? Who do you think is in trouble next?

well, I'll just leave you with yet another gem from televisionwithoutpity.com:
Even Ryan has a hard time keeping his salad down when introducing the following monstrosity: "Singing 'God Bless The USA,' Kristy Lee Cook." And she does the fucker right, dude, with like red white and blue shit happening everywhere and a serious no-kidding stars and garters flag waving in the background. She heads over to one side of the stage and saves some puppies from Nazis and knits a doily for our boys in Iraq and paints a sign saying "Cancer Is Bad," and then on the other side of the stage, Our Lord Jesus Christ gives her a high five and he's like, "Remember that time I was walking on the beach and then there were those footprints? Thanks, Kristy Lee Cook."
Poor Chikezie. He seemed like such a nice guy. Kinda funny how he said he was doing the whole thing to "give back" to his parents. ... hmmmm...
How on earth is Kristy still a part of this show? Definitely the Sanjaya factor.
I personally didn't like Chikezie's singing very much, but he does seem like a nice guy. I really believe that any of the top 10 will have a shot at stardom at some point in time--case in point: Daughtry. Winning doesn't always guarantee a successful singing career. What's going on with Taylor Hicks? Anyone know?
Kristy must have some guys out there who are voting for her chest.
All the Kristy haters sure are funny. She's definitely not the best contestant, but not the worst either. She was pretty good this week, and if she continues to get the opportunity to sing country songs, she will continue to be good. She was bad the last couple weeks because she had to sing Beetles songs which are not "country friendly". I think part of the “hate” for Kristy is because she is so pretty and sings country. I know how jealous you girls get and I know that most people watching Idol don’t like Country music.
When I watch American Idol, I think to myself... Would I pay to see this person in concert? Right now, I would definitely pay to see Brooke White and David Cook in concert. I would consider paying to see Kristy, Carly, and Michael. To me the rest are corny, untalented, or boring; they are…David Archuleta, Syesha, Jason, and Ramiele.
Next week, I think Jason is going home. He acts goofy, looks goofy, picks bad songs, can't sing, and can't play the guitar. I picture him sitting around in his parents garage all day smoking weed with his friends.
oh, Scott, Scott. I love Carrie Underwood, so I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with my hatred of country or my jealousy of beauty (by the way, I look pretty damn good, if I do say so myself). I would not pay to see the KLC sing. I would not pay to see Archuleta or Syesha or Ramiele or Carly sing. I WOULD pay to see Brooke, Fidel Castro, Aussie and Daughtry-Cook.
And maybe it's because you like country and not more indie music, but the Castro does have a mighty fine voice, looks like some kind of Colombian stoner love god, and has charisma. I don't think he's supposed to appeal to you, though.
See, I can be democratic when it comes to Jason! I didn't even use all CAPS.
Who I would pay to see:
Brooke, DCooke, Johns and Carly
