I am a fan (and you should be too), because Chris is the real thing. Chris is a true artist. He knows what he wants and goes for it. He has gotten past...way past...the american idol phase. He didn't let that stop him. He still went on and put out what is being called the best rock album of '06-'07. Every song he wrote on that cd has a special meaning behind it. When you are listening to it you feel like you are apart of it. I am a fan also because you NEVER hear anything bad about him. He loves his family and friends and let's his fans know how much he appreciates our support.
