Chikezie Has No Regrets About His Song Choice | The Great American Idol Blog | 3/27/2008
Got your own questions for when Chikezie drops by TV Guide for his video Q&A? Share them here in comments.His heartfelt rendition of “If Only for One Night” prompted Simon to call him “very cheesy.” But American Idol castoff Chikezie has no regrets about singing the Luther Vandross ballad on Wednesday night. “If I had another chance, I’d do it the exact same way,” he told TV Guide. “I knew Simon would hate it, but that song means a lot to me so I decided to do it anyway.”Needless to say, he wasn’t surprised by the outcome. “I felt I’d done a good job, but at this stage of the game, I might not be good enough,” says the 22-year-old. “It’s an amazing group of talent and I’m proud to have been part of it.

Episode Recap: The Top 9 Are Revealed! | American Idol | 3/27/2008
Hello everyone! As Erin noted last night, she is in L.A. covering the Paley Fest, which leaves me, Adam Bryant (Hello!) to recap tonight's episode of Idol. So let's get to it!Ryan quickly shared us with that the performances this week earned 30 million votes, the highest total so far this season. The high amount of votes is no doubt a reflection of the quality of last night's performances, which were, with a few exceptions, quite solid.But, of course, before we can get down to results, we have to sit through a uber-cheesy group performance of Maxine Nightingale's "Right Back Where We Started From." I've never been a fan of these weekly numbers, and don't understand why Simon, who hates everything cheesy, doesn't have a word with the producers about cutting them out completely.Although it was yet another plug for iTunes, the look at each of the contestants during their weekly recording sessions was interesting. Carly's little giggle at seeing herself on the iPhone cracked me... read more
Episode Recap: The Top 10 Perform | American Idol | 3/26/2008
Good evening! It's Erin Fox again, and I wanted to let you know that Nina and her new son, Julian, are healthy and happy! Phew! Also, since I'm in L.A. covering one of the Paley Fest events, Adam Bryant will be blogging the results show tomorrow. Be kind! Let's begin with the intro of the judges — but I can't because I can't stop thinking, "WTH is Paula wearing?" Need I remind you of your age, woman? And the theme of tonight's song choices is so weird: The year they were born? That's just asking for trouble.Ramiele Malubay, Heart, "Alone": She's definitely straining tonight. I'm glad she's stepping it up with a Heart song, but the belting parts are kinda painful. Randy says he knows she's sick, but it was still too big of a song for her. Paula thinks it's good she's showing people her big voice even though she's sick. Simon thinks she'll actually scrape by for another week based on this performance (his version of a compliment).Jason Castro, Sting, "Fragile": He's in his... read more
