Nikko is straight up middle of the pack for me. He seems to have only one style about him and when combined with his intermittent pitch problems, it eliminates him (for me) from consideration as the next American Idol.
Nikko picks good songs for himself, but they're very much the same kind of song, unlike say Bo, who goes with "Spinning Wheel" one week and "Time in a Bottle" the next.

Nikko Smith who replaced Mario Vazquez did deliver a awesome performance tonight but being the underdog by already being kicked off once I really don't think he does stand much of a chance of moving on.
Nikko disappointed me; I'd have through that since he was playing with "house money", he'd be a little more on the edge, but he had pretty much the same performance that he's put on for the past three weeks (you know, the kinds of performances that got him eliminated one time already).

 Nikko Smith becomes the fourth 'American Idol 4' finalist to be eliminated - Reality TV World - News, information, ...
Nikko, the son of Hall Of Fame baseball player Ozzie Smith, had entertained the audience by singing "One Hand, One Heart" during Tuesday's Broadway musical themed American Idol performance show, after which viewers cast nearly 33 million votes -- the most votes ever cast for a non-finale episode of the hit series.
Joining Nikko in the week's bottom three vote-getters were Vonzell Solomon, a 20-year-old from Ft. Meyers, FL, and Scott Savol, a 28-year-old Shaker Heights, OH resident who had appeared in last week's news headlines due to the discovery of a previous domestic assault incident in his background.
With his departure, Nikko becomes the first male finalist to be eliminated -- an unsurprising development given that Nikko was only named an American Idol 4 finalist after Mario Vazquez, one of the show's originally announced six male finalists, unexpectedly quit the competition prior to its Week 1 finals round.

Smith, son of Cardinals and Padres great Ozzie Smith, will take the place in the Top 12 that many viewers had assumed would be his before his unexpected departure last week.
Smith had been considered another of the competition's favorites after strong renditions of "Georgia on my Mind" and "Let's Get It On" in the previous two weeks, but was not originally one of the six leading votegetters among the "Idol" men.
Then again, Friedman mostly references unnamed sources, manages to repeatedly misspell Vazquez's name, doesn't know that Nikko Smith was added to the competition to keep a Final 12 and thinks that Frenchie Davis' departure last year opened the door for Fantasia Barrino to win, even though Davis was briefly a contestant two seasons ago.
