Nicknames

| | Comments (0)
In Chikezie's exit Q&A with Entertainment Weekly, he mentions a couple of nicknames: Archie for David Archuleta and Cookie for David Cook.

Reading the whole interview made me sad. Chikezie sounds very sweet and kind, someone who can be friends with anyone. And it doesn't appear like he's high maintenance or has a big ego (Ahem, Danny Noriega...)
Chikezie
There's so much we didn't know about Chikezie. And now he's gone.

Here's an exit interview:

Mike Hughes • Gannett News Service • March 27, 2008

As Chikezie ended his "American Idol" run, viewers still didn't really know the guy.

In fact, they didn't know how to say his last name. That's why he dropped it, he told reporters today. "It was constantly mispronounced."

He entered the competition as Chikezie Eze. Judges kept assuming that names rhyme. Not so, Chikezie said. In his first name, each "e" is long; in his second, each is short.

There are many things that don't fit expectations. His parents are Nigerian natives who wanted a strict upbringing, he has said. For instance:

He wasn't supposed to date until he's 16.

He's never been to a concert, he said today, the day after being voted out. Still,
this isn't a music novice. Classes at Santa Monica College had a huge impact. "It's what made me the singer that I am," Chikezie said. "I would not be on 'Idol' if it weren't for that."
