I am a fan (and you should be too), because.chris has a fantastic voice!! The best to come out in quite a while!! I never really paid attention to idol but for some reason I was watching when Chris had his audition!! From that moment I was hooked watching every week to see another breathtaking performance!!! needeless to say when he was voted off I was pretty angry and vowed never to watch the show again!! and I havent what were people watching?/ It was easy to see the talent was there and that Chris would be the most succesfull out of them all and he is proving it with the best albumn to come out in a very long time!! and just look at his shows selling out every where congratulations Chris you deserve it!! i am a pretty busy person as i have a full time job, as well as go to school full time seeking my degree to better myself, and my children. I had quit playing guitar for a long time always using the excuse of no time!! like I said I am pretty busy!! But thanks to Chris I was inspired like never before and started to play again!! Thanks chris for truly inspiring me both in music and in life!! and we should all be fans for this reason!! I would love the oppurtunity to tell you yhis in person but I know we cant all win I am thankful for this oppurtunity to at least write it!! Keep kicking ass!!! and keep inspiring thanks!!!!
