I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Chris is keeping it real. It has been a long time since I have been able to pick up an album and say, "Man, ALL these songs are awesome!" Chris has put so much emotion into his songs that it emits from each vocal and note that is played. On another note, I appreciate the fact that Chris was on American Idol for the fact that you really felt like you got to know him...like he was family. You felt like you could share in his emotions. Personally, yes, I thought he was robbed on American Idol, but I am glad that he didn't win it in the fact that he got to become his own person, not the "American Idol."
I have been to three of his concerts now (hoping to go to number four in Greensboro in March!) and have been equally, if not more, impressed with each one.
Way to go, Chris.....Nicole
