@SilencedXherO you write awfully bad. to answer the first question, i sure think so. secondly, if you want to insult you should say you are stupid. and if they can hear through the door why do most of the times people waiting outside dont celebrate untill they see the yellow paper?
@agustin1193 If I was to insult you, I'd say "You're stupid". And maybe they need the yellow paper as confirmation before they start celebrating? They had faith in him, so maybe that's why the celebration started early. And looking back at the video, they were anxious to find out if he had made it. They weren't celebrating, K bro.
when i heard this on the show, i fell in LOVE with him (: (his voice not him the voice). him, elliott yamin, and kevin covais a.k.a chicken little. they were my ppl ! ahha when they got sent off i would like cry (:
This dude knows who is as an artist and isn't trying to be anyone but himself. That's he fought to portray to his fans back in Season 6, and thankfully that earned him a Top 5 spot. He's set to release his debut project soon, no release has been set yet. He's NOT trying to sound like a black soul singer people. He's a white dude who has soul, but he's just being himself. Stop comparing!!!!
07liberian...black soul songs are NOT the only songs that display true vocal ability. There are rock singers who display incredible vocal ability, a few being Ronnie James Dio, Steve Perry, Geoff Tate, Lou Gramm, Eric Martin, Jimi Jamison, Mickey Thomas, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar, Grace Slick...and the list goes on. People who sing the same old soul style are just like parrots, and they lack real creativity. It would be nice to hear more rock style singing on American Idol for a change. ;-)
Well this guy aint so good. I can do better than that, and I am dead serious about that. Well, Ill give it to him..he does have the Justin sound...well good luck to him, wherever he is now.
I think it's unfair that the judges (Randy) compared Chris to Justin Timberlake right off the bat. It was like they set him up, but luckily Chris proved them wrong by placing 5th. I've heard from others who've tried out for the show, there's four rounds of auditions before you can even sing for the judges. Youv'e got to have some drive to fight for your dreams, especially when it comes to this show, because dreams aren't always promised.
Actually - seriously said; he sounds too common in the industry. But, for a competition - he got what he needs to go through until the end. However, he only needs the right song week after week to performs his souls out. Even he wasn't won the AI - he is a brilliant singer anyway ...
Chris deserved to be in the Finale, but with his Donny Hathaway audition, it proves that you can make it far if you're willing to put for the effort. Chris delievered powerfully, but America doesn't need another Justin Timberlake! They need someone who's original. Hopefully, with his extended forthcoming album still in the wait, Chris will prove everyone wrong!
This audition proves that with genuine talent you can achieve anything. There are three gruesome rounds of auditions for the show before you even get to the judges stage, and I agree that Chris' gifting was significant and exceptional to his chance of making it s a far as he did.
the horrible part of American Idol is that they WANT good looking people with a good voice. They could care less if you are ugly as sin with an amazing voice. Seriously, have they ever picked someone who looked like Napoleon Dynamite?? (that was just hypothetically by the way, and just an example)
What's the point trying to be like Justin? The world already has one Justin Timberlake and this guy will always be referred to as "the guy that looks like Justin". That kind of reception doesn't get you anywhere.
with the grey shirt,looks like justin timberlake and he sing donny hathaway song"a song for you"and he sings really-really well but if i compare with elliot,
He rushed the song and I still think he butchered the song. This is my favorite song of all time, and he did not sing it well at all. Elliott sang this a million times better.
thank you. I can name a lot of ugly people but chris is not only FINE but my god he can sing. he is a gift to us all in a time when we all need something to smile about. I wish him the world cuz he diserves it.
well, macy grey, Tracy Chapmon, olita aboms, brian adems, Bett middler, not the greatest looking people but a gift to song. cher, poveroti, paul potts, Fantasia. need I go on.
Go to all comments, was a reply..theres one guy sayin that only good-looking people can sing..and other points some names, i add Elton John, who wasnt obviously due his looks he got famous.
to only be able to sing well is a talent. god given talent. to be super fine and have an amazing personality ( like he does) and have the talent of song is a gift.
