I am a fan (and you should be too), because...
From the second Chris opened his mouth on American Idol I got goosebumps, and still do to this day, even if I listen to the album on a daily basis (which, I do LOL). His voice is inspiring, and extremely unique... it tells the story of the songs, most of the time even better than the words or melody. I could listen to him sing 24/7... His voice and passion are REAL.
and THAT, is why I am a fan.
