I'm sad to see Chikezie go but it was going to happen eventually. Next has to be Kristy!
Did anyone see Idol Tonight on the TV Guide Network before? I don't know if it was mentioned yet, but they asked all the guys what they did with their first ever paycheck. Chikezie said he bought video games, Michael said he bought clothes, David Cook and Jason put money towards their cars, and David Archuletta... paid his grandma's rent. He said his first paycheck came from winning a talent contest in Utah and his grandma was struggling with her rent so they used his money. I'm all for family and helping each other out, but that's sad in so many ways. Who puts their kid in a talent show and then takes away the prize?! I can see putting it away for college or saving it for when he's older, but using it for the family's rent? If that's not "stage parenting" I don't know what is. I can't even make fun of him anymore because now I just feel bad for him. He's been his family's cash cow since he was old enough to sing

I really do feel bad for the kid and hope he does well.
