I remember when Chris was first introduced on AI. My wife and I were so touched by his devotion to his family and his genuine humility. Then he opened his mouth and began to sing. He truly has a God-given talent. His voice is so powerful, yet pure. I, like all of you, felt like he should have won AI. However, everything happens for a reason. I'm a fan because he made it and took everyone with him, a true rags-to-riches story.
