Chikezie, Brooke White lead top 12 on "American Idol"

Before we discuss the singing, let's talk about the night's biggest drawback. "American Idol" is a family show. Why must Fox subject us to those rancid commercials for the despicable "Moment of Truth"? Young viewers should not be forced to witness those adults behaving badly ... for money. What kind of message does that show send?

As for Tuesday's "Idol," Chikezie made it look easy as the show turned to the John Lennon-Paul McCartney songbook. Chikezie was the revelation. He was a little bit country, then a whole lot of rock and roll on "She's a Woman." He was determined to knock everyone socks off, and he succeeded.

The other standout was Brooke White, who played the piano on a lovely, heartfelt version of "Let It Be." She carried herself like a star.
