Let me deal with Chikezie before I express my outrage. Yes, I liked him but I’m not upset he’s gone. He wasn’t going to go much farther than this although he was better than that sorry-no-account Kristy Lee and certainly Rice Krispies Ramiele. When he was good (I Believe to My Soul; and She’s a Woman) he was very good. Other than those songs, he was just OK. I think with the right material and producer, he could have a minor career although has anybody ever done anything finishing in 9th?
OK. Really – Syehsa and Jason in the Bottom Three? Above that sorry-no-account Kristy Lee and Rice Krispies Ramiele? You cannot be serious. Dolly Parton next week. Could that mean country? Sheesh, Kristy Lee could possibly do well again and bounce out somebody good and apparently it won’t be Ramiele. I’m preparing myself now.
Switching gears – Diandra found out that the wonderful performance of Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello” that David Cook did a while ago was pretty close to an arrangement by the rock band Incubus. This guy is pretty shrewd finding rock covers of whatever the theme is. Daughtry, of course, did this a couple of years ago with Live’s versions of the Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line” and after that, Idol has been pretty picky about mentioning other arrangements. They missed this one, though.
Those of you not familiar with Chris Cornell, he was the lead singer for Soundgarden, a one-off album with some Soundgarden and Pearl Jam members (calling themselves Temple of the Dog), and Audioslave (ohhhhhhhh and I love me some Audioslave). He is one of your quintessential rock front men with a signature vocal sound. The Billie Jean cover was cool but pretty atypical for him.
