The bottom three on American Idol this week were Chikezie, Syesha Mercado, and Jason Castro.

Former Idol contestant Kimberly Locke sang ‘Fall’ to help extend the show for advertisors.

Chikezie Ezie (Inglewood, California) – ‘If Only For A Night’

I have to say Chikezie departure is a surprise.  He had been improving each week until last night.  There were for sure a couple of contestants more deserving of going home.
