I am a fan (and you should be too), because...Chris is great. Hard to believe that he was not discovered any sooner. I was devastated when he was eliminated from Idol, but once I heard his music, I was thrilled. Like he said on Ellen, looking back now, it was the best thing that could have happened to him. Going to try and get to a show. Closest one to me is about two hours away. Still going to check on it. Would love to see him live. I also have a ton of respect for him in the way he portrays his wife. Glad to see someone that is a regular person go to stardom, yet keep his loyalty to his fans.
