PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "RE: Chris Sligh" |
I thought he was great! That's a very tough song to sing, and he nailed it nicely! The judges had another Clay Aiken moment, where the voice didn't seem to match the package. I think this guy will do well.

4. "RE: Chris Sligh" |
Seeing as how I don't spoil Survivor very much or very well anymore, I thought I'd turn to spoiling a little bit about Chris. Here's his self written bio: About me:
I was born on a cold day in April 1978 in a little town right outside of Nashville, TN. Music was in my blood from the beginning of my life. I can remember writing my first music at 6 years old. I wrote my first full song at the age of 8. I grew up in Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri and Weisbaden, Germany...the majority of my childhood spent in cold, dark Germany. For the record, I've been to every European country with the exception of the Scandanavian countries, and I've traveled through all 48 continental states at one point or another. Anyway, I started to write seriously during college while studying voice performance. My junior year of college, I won the National Association of Teachers of Singing's best male singer in the junior year. In 2002 & 2003, I won the Gospel Music Association's songwriting award for the pop/AC category. In 2001, I started traveling as a solo artist, interestingly enough calling myself Chris Sligh. Soon after I started a band which I even more interestingly called the Chris Sligh band. In May of 2003, I got married and soon after in August, the Chris Sligh band broke up. In November of that same year I formed the band I am now a part of and I deemed it Half Past Forever. A lot happened in 2003, as you can see. Well, when Half Past Forever originally formed, we were definitely pretty squarely in the poppy Christian worship realm. We had some kind of rocking stuff, but as a songwriter I was coming from the school of rock that included artists like Bebo Norman, Caedmon's Call, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, etc. Not exactly Led Zeppelin. In 2004 we recorded our debut album up in Nashville with Stephen Leiweke, who produced Jars of Clay's indie album. The album was definitely a poppy rock fest. Since then, my songwriting has grown, I think. I've moved away from the more poppy stuff to writing music that I think I would actually listen to. You can look at my songwriting influences below and most of them are not neccesarilly "rock" artists. I love them for their songwriting, if not their performances. However, my music writing is currently being influenced by Switchfoot, MuteMath, The Afters, and Need To Breathe. So, that's me. Please be my friend. Um, I'm awesome, so if you want awesomeness for friendships, then please be my friend. Does that sound too needy and insecure? Dangit! And a picture:

10. "RE: Chris Sligh" |
I totally agree with you about Chris and Simon's comment. Humor can quickly move to inappropriate sarcasm if not careful. I liked Chris in the audition, so hopefully he can redeem himself. On a similar note, I read (in Star so take it with a grain of salt), that Taylor Hicks was the biggest diva yet. Article said that no one on the staff of the show wanted him to win. He was difficult to work with and didn't bond with the other contestants, not even on the tour. It also said that Katherine McPhee pitched a fit about singing with Meatloaf.

I would have pitched a fit if I had to sing with him too. Listening to him was excrutiating.

Chris Sligh's voice doesn't actually bother me that much. I just get sick and tired of his smart alec remarks. He has said things to simon that just want to make me cringe. Not that Simon doesn't deserve to get dissed once in a while. I just don't think Chris shows much respect. I don't think he has enough of a history with the judges to make the comments he makes.

I agree. I picked Chris as an early favorite but so many girls are powerful this season. I think we will have a female AI winner this season.

18. "KELLY PICKLER?" |
What name don't you want us to say? Kelly Pickler? Is Kelly Pickler's name the name you don't want us to say? If Kelly Pickler's name is the name you don't want us to say then I sincerely apoligize for saying Kelly Pickler. I will try my best to never say Kelly Pickler ever again.

27. "RE: Kick" |
I didn't just mute the TV when Kelly Pickler made her appearance last Thursday, I turned the TV off. Until I was sure she was gone. I've never seen so much silicone hanging out of a dress in my life. And, that dress was stretched so tight over her butt, I wondered if she'd had it augmented, too!

I thought it was so funny when Chris was singing his final song and he went up to the contestants and you could hear him say to Phil "you owe me fifty bucks". That really cracked me up!
Goodbye Chris!

34. "RE: Chris Sligh" |
I commented else where that Chris S. did nothing to same himself this week.Looks like he was more right than I knew. http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/03/30/americanidol.sligh.ap/index.html Chris Sligh, the curly-headed contestant from South Carolina who was voted off "American Idol" this week, said he considered quitting the show two weeks before viewers sent him packing. "I never came into this wanting to win it," Sligh told The Greenville News on Thursday. "I made the Top Ten. That was my goal." Sligh said he decided not to quit because the top 10 contestants participate in an "American Idol" summer tour that comes with a nice paycheck. Very disappointing, IMO.

36. "Chris says the vote counts are legit" |
he seems pretty together and level-headed.from his blog: "Number one: to the conspiracy theorists who think that I got voted off the show because of a certain shout-out a coupla weeks ago (btw, please don't ask me about this: I have chosen not to talk about it at this point)...sorry people, I hate to tell you this, but it just isn't possible. NIgel and Ken (the executive producers) are very nice men, and I feel honored to have worked and learned from them. Plus what you guys do not see is that there are 5-6 people from Standards and Practices (an outside organization) who watch every aspect of the show to make sure it is fair. These people are also the ones who make sure that the vote counting is fair. There's more I could tell you, but it falls under my confidentiality contract...but take it from me...I was voted off because I didn't get enough votes. I had a bad performance and received even worse comments, plus I was very early in the show...it all added up. There was no funny stuff going on." http://frommymindtoyoureyes.blogspot.com/

40. "RE: Take a Chance on Something Beautiful" |
If popularity, especially among female middle-schoolers, counts more than talent, Sanjaya would be a shoo-in. But, going strictly by consistantly great singing, Melinda's my favorite. I'm just glad Chris Sligh's gone. Looking at him was bad enough. Listening was excruciating.
