I am a fan (and you should be too), because I knew from day number one on AI auditions that he would be a superstar. He has an unbelievable quality to his voice and he started this journey because he is a hard-working man who wanted the best for his family. He is raising children....working feverishly to provide for them....and look what he has now! I remember his quote that he "just wanted to change his kids' lives forever." Chris has not only earned his place in the music industry...but he well deserves to be in the position he is now. Sometimes...good things do happen to good people and this is proof of that! Chris will be a legend some day and he already has a great start on that path. It's all about the voice, the character, and the SMILE.
