Chikezie | I’ve Just Seen A Face | American Idol 7
Filed Under American Idol, Chikeze Eze, Chikezie | Comments Off
Chikezie sings the Beatles’ “I’ve Just Seen A Face.”
I didn’t get into it, but I wasn’t that familiar with the song.
Randy — “It sounded like it could make a good country song. … It was a very weird strange arrangement. It was strange to me.”
Paula — “You’re showing who you are. … I love it. … You did it again!”
Simon — “I thought it started off okay, then you played the harmonica which was literally atrocious, then it turned into ‘Achy Breaky’ at the end.”

Chikeze | She’s A Woman | American Idol 7
Filed Under American Idol, Chikeze Eze, Chikezie | Comments Off
Chikeze talks about working airport security — he was TSA — at LAX before winning his chance to perform on American Idol.
Chikeze takes a chance with his own version of the Beatle’s “She’s A Woman.”
I like it — I’m going to have to listen to the original later on so that I can compare it to Chikeze’s arrangement.
The crowd is cheering loudly — it might be a good night for Chikeze.
Randy: “I was throughly entertained. … I loved the arrangement. … Chikeze smashed it!”
Paula: “I knew when you hit the Top 12 this was going to happen.” Paula says the risk paid off.
Simon: “I’m really surprised I have to agree with these two. … What I loved about it … is that unlike the first singer, you have actually changed in a week. You took control of the stage … I thought you were terrific.”
