I love this performance as well. Chikezie is my second favorite American Idol finalist ever. He was my all-time favorite until last March. I am expecting to hear from him soon. He has recently inked a record deal with Universal Music Group. He is busy working on his debut album. I am looking forward to listening to the album. I would like for him to revisit the Idol stage in American Idol season 9.
Just checked out Luther Vandross original of all the woman I need and Chikeze's version is better! Him and Seisha had all the energetic and moving moments. David A is like watching a concert pianist showing off, too many notes, and David Cooke is a one-trick pony (I like his trick but it's getting a bit samey)
American Idol reflects Fox's racism and also America still has a long way to go. As a caucassian I feel like the blond haired blue eyed less talented singers get more votes. There are so many amazing black singers its not right for American Idol to have chosen so few. Chikezie should not have been voted off before some of the others. Simon never really liked him!
American idol is rigged against black contestants. now they are at the point that they don;t even pick many of them for the top 20 and the ones they do are not the most talented. they do that on purpose. another thing that kills me about simon and randy is that when a white person sings r&b its automatically hip and cool but god forbid a black person sings an old r&b song then they are old and not hip. no other genre gets blasted like r&b on american idol unless its being sung by a white person
lol no it's not. you're being completely ignorant. The judges liked Chikezie's upbeat hip-hop funk-ish style, they didn't lie his cheesy love-ballad side. And as for being rigged against black people, not even close to the truth...
lword1970: Are you really that daft or trying to get attention? They LOVED it when Chikezie sang R&B. What they didn't like was when he sang the boring sappy songs, which obviously LOTS of people didn't like, since he was voted off. And darling, if it were rigged against black people, why did Ruben and Fantasia WIN?
i agree with some of what you said...this year defo didnt have the same amount of black people than last year which is sad cos last year most of the great singer where black...melinda, lakisha,stephanie buut i doo not think american idol is racist tba the talent on this years show is nothing compared to last season and thats from black and white people
I could listen to this over and over... which I have! I loved Chikezie's version of this song. He was the only guy that picked something with some soul... the other guys picked hopelessly generic stuff that we've all heard way too many times thru the years.
To those who really know chikezie mma madu IYA!

I hope his album does great. Hope he does a little pop/rnb crossover so he can get the noteriety that he deserves. He's so entertaining.
