You guys thought he was good? That surprises me. I saw him sitting on the brink of going home every week because he wasn't so good. I saw that he had one freak good performance that kept him on the week he should have gone home, but it couldn't carry him past this week.

I liked his singing the last 3 rounds, actually, Naja. I admit I didn't like him at all at first, though.

What I have seen for years in AI is that contestants are given songs to chose from. Week after week Chikeze for some reason was picking songs that either didnt work with his personality or just were not the songs for his voice. I think he has a great talent and I really do think if he sang a george Benson song like Masquerad he would be a lot farther.

I just think that he had no help at all and we all know that the contestants get some help whether it is the coaching they get or assistance with dressing and song choices. He got no help. I think he will do well though, he has talent, certainly far more talent than some of the women.

Real sorry to see Chikieze go home. Last night I thought his performance was good, had a few pitch problems at the start, but the rest was good. Two weeks ago he smashed it with "She's a Woman", and thought it was great. I hope that he does get picked up by some producer, cause I can see potential.

By far the guys have done better this year than the girls. Syesha, Kristy or Ramiele any of them - were my choices to go home.

Chikezie was one of my faves. dh and I put in about 50 votes for him (highly unusual for us) cause the judges shafted him (again) and we had a bad feeling ....

we thought his 'freak' performance was the awful one during 60s week

yeah, it would have been great to hear him cover george benson ('turn your love around' I think would have shown off his personality) .... not sure that would have influenced the judges tho, unless he made it sound 'hip and original.' they seem to really be obsessing over that this season.

Think modern day girdle, only lots more coverage. And while they do suck everything in so it doesn't jiggle, that everything is actually still there somewhat. I just don't get why anyone would want to wear 'em. And Carly ain't big enuf to even think to wear 'em!

Chikezie would've killed a Benson song. But even then, I don't think his personality would've come thru (but the singing would've be stellar). I think he kinda lost it on stage, kinda lost the sparkle we saw in his interviews.

I noticed Ryan said that Chris Cornell was responsible for the "Billy Jean" arrangement (which I should have known as a huge Chris Cornell fan!) and he also said that Chris called, and loved the performance. I would love to know more about that!

I hate it that they don't give the contestants a chance to talk about their arrangements if they are "borrowed" from a recording, like people were saying Archuletta's "Imagine" was as well. It makes it seem like they are trying to hide information when I'm sure they aren't. I'm sure David Cook would have been happy to credit Chris Cornell given the chance. Whatever, it was awesome.

Madelane, they did credit Chris Cornell in the initial performance. Ryan introduced it as something like "Chris Cornell's Billy Jean." But I agree, it seems that these borrowed arrangements that most people aren't familiar with are the start of controversy. Maybe they should make a point to let the contestant say it after the performance, just so it's really clear. It's still a brave move though, to do something so different from what most people have heard of the song before.

David's doing something right if both Lionel Richie and Chris Cornell called about him.

Oh I didn't hear that Kitt, thank you for pointing that out! That makes me feel better about it, too. By the way I thought the string section did an amazing performance on that, too.

I think David Cook will be in the top two. I think Brook will be the other in the top two. Why? Because she's got that Taylor Swift/Carrie Underwood with a dash of Kelly Clarkson thing going on that people are really into these days.

I wasn't surprised either that Chikieze went. I found his song this week seemed very boring.

Frankly, I was glad to see Christy stay. I want to see what she can do with a counry song and with Dolly doing some coaching. I would love to see her do one of Dolly's songs. So often the country singers get eliminated before country week.

I think she did a great job this week, but it surprised me the reaction of the judges. I was afraid they would think it was corny. But she sang it with such passion, I think that helped.

I also really liked Michael Johns. Who knew you could take two songs that you hear so much at sporting events and make them sound like something you would go out and buy the record.

David Cook just gets better and better.

My reaction to Brooke just puzzles me. I like her and I think she has one of the best voices among the girls, but I am just not wowed by her. Can't figure out why.

I thought Kristi Lee Cook was off key for much of the song. I thought the judges were nice to her in hopes that the "opposite" effect would take place. I'm not that unhappy that Chikeze went, because he wasn't (IMO) going to make it very far, but I thought he sang better than KLC this week.

I think Brooke is a nice girl but she's no Carly Simon or Carole King. Mainly I just think she's very nice. And she needs to leave her hair alone...I find it very distracting each week when she straightens it...I much preferred it curly.

I thought Syesha was underrated this week. I thought she KILLED that song (in a good way).

Ramiele is,IMO, out of her league. Sweet girl but not ready for this competition.

And I thought Carly was good this week. She looked fierce with her dramatic black hair and blue eyes.

Hehehe, Hobbs!

Hehehe, Roxip. I thought "opposite-ville" too. And then I realized there was no way the judges were gonna diss her when she sings a song like that. Simon only touched on it by saying it was the most clever song choice ever.

Isn't Brooke the one who was a virgin when she went thru auditions? (And somehow got married between auditions and Hollywood?)

I agree, anyways... she ain't no Carly Simon or Carole King. She's sweet, like cotton candy is sweet. But not something I'd buy very often, if at all.

No, she was married at the auditions...but she's never seen an "r" rated movie (and perhaps not even a PG-17 one either...LOL). I'm guessing Mormon.

Every year there seems to be that group of people that will probably be the first 6 to go. This year it seems to include:
Amanda
Chickeze
David H
Kristy Lee
Ramiele
Syesha
Sometimes one of them makes it to 6th, but they usually are all gone by the final 5. What never seems to work out for many people is the order in which they go. But in 4-5 weeks they will all likely be gone

The real shocking week is usually who goes home in 4th place. It started season 1 with Tamyra and continued with Latoya, Daughtry and maybe even include Lakisha. Wonder who will be 4th this year?
