I love Chikezie too! He was right up there with David Cook and Michael Johns in S7 for me. Had he stuck around , I think he would have easily overtaken MJ in my opinion. Hey, for me, he does now. Hope he gets a good gig and continues to make a living at all of this

Who died and made you Simon Cowell?” Hee.

That’s really a nice rendition! Really showcases the amazing vocal he has. I always felt that this guy got booted out too early in the show. Hope he will have a good singing career.

I love Chikezie. Wish he’d gotten to do the song like he wanted, but oh well…great exposure! Go Chikeze!

I love Chikezie! He was actually my second favorite in Season 7. I hope he gets to continue acting and singing!

As a wise woman once said, bring it on home! I dug the way he wrapped it up. Nice to see that Chikezie landed a sweet gig. He’s talented and just adorable. And yeah, they should totally name his character Isaac.

So happy that Chikezie got this gig. He’s a sweetie. I don’t like the song at all, but I think he did fine with it. I’d have to agree that She’s a Woman was one of the best in any season. Unfortunately (for him and us), not all of his song choices were that good.

I actually think it’s one of the best performances I’ve seen on the show in any season. Check it out if you’ve never seen it before.

Thank you for posting this link, Bootstar. I watched it, and that was absolutely delightful. I didn’t watch the show last year, so Chikezie is new to me. He is a charmer, and really good. I thought he did really well on his GH role. I watched the long version. I thought his slight tentativeness in the song was appropriate to the role he was playing. I really like this guy, I hope this leads to something else good for him.

Nobody does that song “straight” like Phil Collins at Live Aid but he did a-ight there I’d say. Chikezie definitely has some vocal chops but that song has been done to death.

I thought he did great. Not pitchy at all.

Chikezie is a nice singer. If he hadn’t done that deadly r&b song,he would have gone further on ai.

It looks like he had an original arrangement all worked out, but they wanted him to sing it straight to better fit the storyline:

@Chikezie_Eze: Sorry bout the Karaokeish version I did… They said my arrangement was a lil too… “wild” for the scenario…

Wow, that was entertaining. Chikeze was all like singing and the peeps were all like so deep in thought, thinking soap operay thoughts. And even though Chikeze was singing, actually begging them to “look at him now,” they were all like just sitting there, all gloomy and ignoring him. That one broad actually had her back to him. Would it kill ya to turn around and stop thinking about your own miserable life and enjoy Chikeze for a few minutes? How dare she diss an American Idol like that.

I didn't think he was pitchy, but I wasn't crazy about his interpretation of the song. Still, it was supposed to be a karaoke performance, so all in all, I thought he did great. And I'm so happy for him. Very cool gig!

I still think that his performance of 'She's a Woman' was one of the best and most suprsing performances of Season 7.

Agree 100%. I actually think it's one of the best performances I've seen on the show in any season. Check it out if you've never seen it before.

It’s a bit pitchy, dawg, but not bad. Good for GH fanboy Chikezie. I always liked him, and he was awesome on American Nobody (shout out to JPL).
