Chris I'm sad you took it all down in the midst of me reading your background. My brother, Jon Baylor, has put all of us onto you and we are avid Idol watchers. I can relate completely to your struggles with music as a younger person growing up in fundamental Christian circles...it's NOT easy. Freedom in Christ is not available in many of those circles, if any. So, rock on, man and we'll be cheering for YOU on A.Idol!!! :)
Best of luck to you Chris! Came back to re-read the Sligh-ku and it was gone!
Remember, the Lord won't lead you where He can't keep you. Wherever He leads you, I'm sure, will be a wonderful journey. Stay true to Him and to who you are!
MaryR
I hope to not read any blogs by you for a long time. Sing well and prosper.
Good Luck!!!
TOP 24!
Thats awesome man :)
Congratulations and i hope you make it far.
My Fro Ku disappeared! Thank God I have OCD and feel the compulsion to put it back by golly!
Fro-ku
what is in that fro?
wouldn’t we all like to know?
a scared to death cat?
a missing Elvis Presley?
now don’t get me wrong
we sure enough love that fro
but humor us please
inquiring minds want to know
We want you to know that we go to Lakewood/Joel Osteen’s church in Houston, Texas and we put you down as a prayer request that you would be blessed & protected and successfully go wherever the Lord as purposed for you.
Also, We are looking forward to the HPF CD!!
One last thing. Here is some advice you can take it or leave it. I think if Simon ever gives you a hard time you need to look him dead in the eye, give him a Sligh wink and a giggle and then drop it like it’s hot.
Blessings & Peace to you!
Selena & Skipper Parsley
I just wanted to be let you know that you already have a huge fan base here in Canada and we're all routing for you to make it to the final 12.I know you will anyway...you're far to talented not to.Good Luck Chris..and keep making us all laugh..ever consider stand up?
Coleen
Way to go, Chris!!
God bless you! It is great to see a fellow lead worshiper on something like Americal Idol. My family are rooting for you and will vote for you all the way!
Good luck buddy!
Your positive personality and unbeleivably fabulous voice will be your ticket to win...keep on blowing us away! All the best to you...
Nancy and Bruce Ignacio
God Bless, Chris! We are pulling for you! Good jooooorrb!

Thank you!!
Omgh I love you already! I'm really routin for you on American Idol. Just rememeber i've been a fan since your audition! Good Luck hun!

Dude! I was just looking at your profile and everything disappeared.
Good luck to you on AI. You're the reason I'm watching it so closely.
I hope you stay on for a veryyyyyy long time.
Best of luck to you and your wife.
You could have left your top 100 favorite song list on pal, damn. Since I'm a big Muse fan, I figured I'd download some of em -- what was that other band you liked? Monkeyratchet Fistclutch?
Cool! I was wondering when this would officially happen. Hey, this is glass half-full time, 'cause the longer your blog content is gone, the longer you are still in the running!
God bless and good luck!
Sorry to see your content is gone.
When it was still there this morning, I saw that you are a Counting Crows fan, and since anyone who idolizes Adam Duritz has superb taste, I checked out some of your other bands on your "Top 100" list (Muse, Mute Math). I just came back to see some of your other favorites and saw that the list is gone - glad I caught some when I had the chance. Such are the perils of stardom...good luck with AI!
You re my favorite this year on American Idol!!
Check out some tracks from Half Past Forever at http://www.stage.fm/halfpastforever
Tracks # 6 & 7 rock!
Chris go win American Idol!!! Then make some more awesome CD's!!
Omgh I love you already! You're hands down my favorite, i'll be routing for you through it all. Good luck on American Idol! Best wishes!
I'll miss your blog. Do well, and stay true. I'll dial my fingers down to the knuckles.
Hey, good luck on American Idol. I think you have a great shot. I love your sense of humor. Take care!
Good Luck on AI! You have such a good sense of humor and a great voice to go with it.
I'll be rooting for you, Chris =]
So glad (and not at all surprised) that you made it to the top 24! I loved your comment to the judges when you came into the room: "I'm sure you're all wondering why I called you here today." Love it. Best of luck to you!
Yay! You made it! woooo!! Go chris!
your hilarious! good luck from minneosota!
sup cris cant wait to see you this season u belong in putnam county spelling bee on broadway as barfate
Awesome. They (the big 3 judges) have NO idea of the gem in their midst but I think the world is about to find out. Word is getting around about HPF and you, Chris. Best of Luck, Rebecca
Soo Happy You Made It To The Top 24!
You are not a singer, you are an instrument, of the highest quality, made by the master's hand...
... so shine on! and God Bless!
We will be rooting for you!
I think you are an extremely incredible musician and entertainer! It was very great to look you up and to read, "I am first and foremost a Christ-follower." I think you are awesome and I am rooting for you all the way! Best of Luck! :)
Sherri H.
I'm sorry you took your blog down! I hope you decide to keep up an online presence while you rock American Idol!
Good luck for the competition - I'm supporting you over in Scotland! I can't vote, but still... ;)
I'm an avid AI watcher, along with two other family members.
You are a rare talent - blessed with voice and sense of humor.
Rock on! I hope to see meet you at one or more of the AI tours.
Good Luck Mr. Chris Sligh.
Awww, drat. There went my Sligh-ku.
Well, atleast I got to see this before it was taken down.
I remember the 'ku anyways.
"Look Out, Hasselhoff
Chris Sligh is coming for you
And the tears shall flow."
Good look and don't forget us little people.
GO CHRIS GO! Even though you're a Christian and I'm an atheist, I am totally rooting for you. At least unless you make a nasty comment about the gays. You are smart, funny and you are a rock star all the way! Plus you bring the geek. GO CHRIS GO! My dialing thumb is ready!
PS everybody: Hint hint, American Idol can't wipe the Google Cache... until Google crawls this site again there's a Feb 10 version up! Just saying.
"first and foremost a christ-follower"
i did not expect that. awesome. i love your sense of humor. good luck with this whole american idol thing.
derek
Chris,
It has been a blast watching you so far on Idol. I look forward to seeing your success both on the show and into the future.
God Bless You!
Hey Chris! Luckily, I read your blog yesturday before you took it down! I just wanted to let you know that my family and I are totally rooting for you to win! Your voice is amazing and your personality is memorable. I would buy your CD in a second. You're in my prayers!
-Morgan
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Good thing my husband (Ryan Neal) and I (Elizabeth Simms Neal) looked at your blog last night and read up a little about you! Don't know that you'll remember me, but I sat by you in General Psych (Mazak's class) the 98-99 school year at BJU. Sam Ryan who we go to church with told us you were on American Idol, so we've been anxious to see how you do. Good luck!
Chris, YOU are our favorite for this year's IDOL. We love your personality. Don't ever change.
Praying for you!
Knoxville, Illinois
Chris,
Lexi and I are rooting for you...hope you make it all the way. I love the sense of humor and wit that keeps everyone off balance. Good luck!
Eric
Chris...so glad you are in top 24. We will be praying you represent well=) You are a funny dude!
Chris, you had me at "wanna make David Hasselhoff cry." You've been blessed with a great talent and I pray that you continue to keep your trust in Christ. Just have fun and know that you have a big fan base out here pulling for you. I also hope your band gets to release your record during all this, the songs on myspace are great!
You can't have a blog while competing huh?
That's sad :-(
You have my vote! Best of luck to you. :)
Yay for Top 24!! Congrats! I'm voting for you! And blogging about you to get people watching and voting hopefully!
Congrats. You're my early favorite to win American Idol!
Ah, but your thoughts are still alive and well, you simply moved them!
http://theologicaldigressions.blogspot.com/
You broke my heart when you sang Seal's "Kiss From a Rose". I made my husband re-wind the Tivo FIVE times (and then he made me stop).
I would have done a Paula and then some if I were there.
You and I are not destined to ever agree about religion (so we'll never speak of same), but there is one thing both of us know:
You are gifted.
You were born to share that gift.
And, dang, Chris, you are one articulate young man.
I love a well-written blog.
Break a leg.

good luck!
Hey Chris!
How COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL to know that you are a Christ-Follower too!
My husband and I just loved you from the first time that we saw you on Idol...and I can't wait to tell him that you are a Christian!
We'll be praying for you through this whole thing...that the light of Christ will shine through you in all that you say and do...and that others will want to know Him because of how He pours Himself out through you.
It's no accident you're there..I trust that you know that 100%.
We'll be praying God's hedge of protection around you, and that you'll remember every second that you are an ambassador for Him.
Walk in love and humility and He will be honored through your testimony!
We're so thrilled for you!
Rock on, brother!
In His Love,
Jesica Womack
Go Chris! I just want you to know that you have a huge following here in Columbia, SC. We will be there to support our "homeboy" all the way. God bless you on this exciting, new journey.
I've got my blog friends hooked on you! I'm a BJU class of '84 graduate and member of Southside Fellowship. My daughter and I screamed when we saw you in the auditions; my son said he already knew about it; they had announced it in youth group!
We are all firmly in the Fro Patro!
Thought you were great on AI! I hope that you do well on it. Just wanted to mention that Jordin Sparks is also a Christian (she goes to my church). I wonder how many Christians made the top 24 and if that is something you all have shared with each other. Anyway, God bless!
Chris, I saw you on American Idol and I knew right then you have something special. You will definately be famous! Then I looked you up on YouTube and saw your band. I listened to your song "Know" and I think that's a hit. I'm looking forward to seeing more of you and your band. Good luck,
Kelli in Texas
you've got talent.
and all the bones in your body are downright funny!
all the best!
Good luck Chris, I became a fan from the first time you appeared on the show, I'll be voting for you.
Hey Chris Cheers from Singapore! Just so you know you got fans all over the world now. I love it that you're spreading the gospel of Grace. Let your light shine all the time bro! Will be ordering your CD when it comes out on Feb 20. Hope you'll be using ebay for us overseas fans.
I'll be watching and cheering u on every week. =D
Hello. I'm rooting for you in A.Idol. With your great personality and your voice, it seems like you'll get lots of fans.
Besides that, you kind'a look like a gamer to me. I know I'm wrong though >_<
Or am I o.0
Good luck in A. Idol.
Chris,
I have a feeling we'll be seeing you in the final 2. You have a beautiful voice. Good luck, and stay funny. Don't let Hollywood get to ya.
-Laura
Hang in there dude!! Nothing but good words are what I'm hearing about you. Good luck and prayers!
Bryan
Hey Chris, do you actually read these? Anywho, you are my favorite out of EVERYONE!!! I'll vote for you all the way because you should totally win. Keep it up and you're super funny.
-Michelle
Chris...
I'm Tara Tichner, and I'm your sort-of second cousin. Joanne is my mom's cousin, so Sarah would be my second cousin. In fact, Sarah and I used to play together at family reunions back in Minnesota when we were small (so I'm told...). I just thought she was cool because our names rhymed. :)
My husband and I don't get TV so we were out of the loop about the whole American Idol thing. Yesterday my mom emailed me about you, and then I went on YouTube to find the video of your initial performance.
You actually remind us of a friend of ours up in PA, also a musician. His name is Dan Harney, check him out on Myspace. People like you and him remind us not to take life so seriously. We all grew up in the same Christian environment as you, and can relate. Nothing a Don Miller read can't fix, though. :)
Never thought of any family member as an idol before. I was on the news once. You could almost see my whole arm. I didn't get to sing, though...
I hope life doesn't get TOO crazy for you guys. I don't know you but as a relation, make Jesus look good, ok? Make it a I Corinthians 10:31.
This makes me want to get TV just to watch the show!

Rock on, Chris! You've certainly got my vote for the next American Idol. What better testement to the Christian faith than a passionate, intelligent, talented man fearlessly determined to SING his truth to the world. Between you and Melinda, for what more could American, Christian music fans ask? Best of luck to you in navigating the AI process. Rooting for you, Michele (aka "STS").
chris sligh rocks... hope he will get through the american idol!!!
good luck chris.. wish you all the best.. all the way from manila philippines here... am starting to be a big fan of you. wish i can vote all the from here..lol will be looking forward for you.. hope to get a chat or email address of you... YOU ROCK!!!!! leo.sarmiento@yahoo.com
Dude...you're the last hope for chubby guys everywhere. Make it happen, man. Make it happen.
Good luck on Idol -- I'm looking forward to seeing Hasselhoff shed some manly tears for you!
Congratulations!! You've got our vote here in the Northwest. May God bless your endeavors!
My family and I were ecstatic when you made top 24. We all hope you do well!
All the luck in the world to you! Keep your great spirit, and don't hassle the Hoff!
hey chris!! it's sweet to see you in the finals!! my husband says he knows you from sc....and that school you went to! :) just wishing you all the best!!
oh and suzanne heckathorne!! can't believe you made the 2nd post!! (she's our best friend's sister!)
My husband and I were so glad to see you make the AI top 24. (we cried actaully...not unusual for me, but rare for dh, then we laughed and laughter through tears is the best emotion!) You have a fabulous sense of humor and I love the hair! How cool that we'll get to spend eternity with you! May God be glorified through you in all that you say and do!
Hey Chris!
Just wanted to let you know that you have our support here! Kepp on rocking for Christ and don't let that fire burn out! HE will never let you down!!!!!! We're rooting for you!!
Kaylee
Chris, I LOVE your smooth sexy voice. Every time I hear you sing- I get emotional.(it's a good thing, trust me) I'll be rooting/voting for you on Idol. Good luck.
you don't know me... and I don't know you. but your a refreshingly clever and witty fellow! and o so hot! (hey, girls count personality for alot of points mr!)
I'm also pleased to say that alot of music you mentioned in your now,missing blog archives.. I HAVE been listing to... Muse, Radiohead, Frou Frou..... good stuff man! keep on keeping on..... I love music.. so I guess in some ways, I like you :)~ Nitesylph
Dude,
I was intrigued with your idol audition ("Oh crap- what if I really do stink?") Loved the humor. Decided you were my fave (voice and personality.) Was so excited to find out that you are "first and foremost a Christ-follower." Read your theologicaldgressions. Awesome! That last part was cool- keep the faith, but be a real person! Was also geekishly giddy to learn that you lived in Wiesbaden. I lived there as an airforce brat back in the 70's. Best of luck man. I'll be voting for you. I'll make sure my little nif nifs do too.
schucity@comcast.net
Keep up the good work and hoping for the best on Idol!!!
Did you have to remove all the previous posts??? Oh well, I'll keep checking back for the day you post again.
You have been one of our favorites this year from your first audition! We're rootin' for you here in Texas!
You ROCK! Keep shining bright. I'm cheering for you!
A California fan,
Cynthia :)
Do your best and you will go far, good luck and God bless.
Chris, you have been my favorite from the very first audiditon I saw you in. I think you will make it far, and you have my vote all the way!

You are absolutely amazing, i have never found my favorite contestant so early in the show. I'm actually going to vote this year to add my tiny percentage to make sure you stay on until the end.
Hi Chris, so glad I read your blog last week. Love your style of writing. Glad you made it into the top 24, how could you not with that voice! Wishing you all the best! God Bless and will be voting for you from Idaho.
Tammi

Go Chris! I'm your biggest fan! I LOVE YOU! woooo!!!!!!!!!!! Top 24 baby!
Hey Chris!
its Susan at SEacoast Long PointRd again. Went to Church tonight, Greg S. said he does not usually try to sway the congregation politically by telling them who to vote for but this will have to be an exception. He said "We all need to vote for Chis Sligh this week"! Of Course, that prompted loud cheering and clapping of the hundreds in attendence at the Saturday night service. Not to mention all the other locations when they see it. My daughter is close to your age. Her boyfriend is worship leader for celebrate recovery on Friday nights. They love Mute Math also. (Did I spell it right?) She is a local photographer.Check out her website at Holy City Photography. You will love her style. She is super artsie. She did not get that from me. She plays Bass at Seacoast also.
Chris, you have such a gift. I will never ever forget the 1st time I saw you sing at Seacoast Mt Pleasant and at that time we did not have any idea who you were! You were amazingly unbelievable. Always remember the one that Blessed you with all your talent and Gifts. You are Awesome! Stay Real and True to who you are and why you are here. God Bless You. You are in our prayers.
Susan
A friend told me you were doing AI, Thought the name sounded so familiar...there you were. Make PCC and BJ proud!!! I am getting people ready to vote for you :)
Sarah (Oates)
hi good luck on american idol.
i hope you win. you're my favorite.
lauren
Yo Chris, I made an Idol shirt for you! Good Luck!! Let me know if you want one. My addy is at the bottom of the website!
www.conspiratards.com
Hey Chris, I've been rooting for you ever since your first audition unfortunately I can't vote for you all the way from India, but I really hope you win. You kicked ass in group performance. Oh, and also Paula's definitely not the only one who melted in you chubby little hand!
Norway loves you, dude! Keep on rockin.
Chris,
Stay strong in your faith and keep your eye on the Lamb. He will guide you as you give Him the praise and glory. Don't go to Satan's playground as fame knocks on your door. Remain grounded and let your light shine.
I can't beleive you are the little boy who used to come to my house in Springfield, TN to play wih my son and get his clothing passed on for you to wear. My son is now 30! Unlike you, he is balding.
Gotta get back to the 500 race.
Prayer Partners of your Mom's are now praying for you and getting the word out to vote for Chris!
Blessings!
Nascar Ladybug
Great to see a fellow bulldog on idol. Look forward to seeing you win this thing. We'll be voting.

Good luck to you.We need more young Christian entertainers and I feel that you will be totally successful.You have my vote and I have never voted for anyone before this.God Bless you from a Tennessee Fan
Good luck "Sligh Dog". I will be rooting for you on AI.
Well, good luck with the whole Christ thing, guess it has to work for some people. However, you have a kick-ass voice and a great attitude and you're my vote to win. Good luck buddy.
I left a message at your former bands website before realizing that like a dork I did not read about your taking a break to become all famous on American Idol. So I shall stop by to here to send you a big thumbs up from Pensacola, FL! I am terribly excited to see your performances as you make your way into the finale. I will be working my once chubby little fingers to the bone voting for you! All the best Chris... we are rooting for you!
God Bless,
A Christ Loving wife and mother from FL!
darn! i was hoping to get the inside scoop throughout the season, but i guess the powers that be probably won't allow that! can't wait to see you go VERY far this season! good luck!
Hey Chris,
I used to work with you at Southside Fellowship and now you work with fellow Geocaching buddy of mine. (The Geocachers want you to wear our t-shirt on stage!) Anyway, God bless your journey on AI and remember what it's really all about...use your gifts bringing Him glory wherever you are. You're the only reason I'm watching AI this time around! Blessings to you and your wife,
The office manager while you were there,

Ok, I'm a Taylor and i promised myself that I will NOT vote this year. Dang! You're making me break that promise. Good Luck Chris!

Stick it to the Dean of Men. Rock on fellow Graves custodian!
dude if i wasn't living my number one dream as being a youth pastor, i would totally hit the road and try out to be your drummer. you rock.
peace in Christ,
eric
We are started the fan club here in Greenwood, and can't wait to vote like crazy people!
Good luck tonight!
Mel and family
Chris... you astound me. Your voice is raw and rich - truly extraordinary.
I keep hearing a bunch of hooey about "wow, that voice surprised me." or "I didn't expect him to sing like that." etc. Too many people make judgements based on stuff that has no bearing whatsoever on a person's talents, value, qualities, and spirit. You obviously possess talent in spades but more than that, you seem to have this incredible attitude and personality that just blows my mind.
I wish you the very best of luck on AI and in any endeavor you choose. Win or lose, you've found an admirer in me.
Well wishes,
Laura Judd

Looking forward to a great season of American Idol and to seeing you in the finals. As far as I am concerned, this competition is ovah.
I'm so sad you took it down!
Ah well, good luck. :) I loved your initial appearances and wish you the best of luck next week!
If I could vote for ya, I would.
SC is rooting for you! Hope you go all the way!
You are my American Idol for 2007! Good luck!
Hi Chris,
Sorry to badger you (through Jon) for an interview for the Greenville Journal. :) Just doing my job. Anyways, my mom (Christa Habegger) was telling me how much she loved your singing when you were at BJU. Congrats on your success and getting the entire BJU family in an uproar. Maybe I can interview you soon on a non-performance day. The PR people said they'd let me know when you're free. Good luck.
Ariel Turner
Hi Chris
Looking forward to hearing/seeing you tonight. Break a cord!
Chris I enjoy your performances so much and you've only just started the process! Good luck and break a cord...best wishes
mary anna
Chris,
Your awesome, and you probably dont remember me, but I'm Geoff W. from North Hills Community Church, plus, you know my cousins Michelle and Jared. Sweet. I know a rock star. Say hi to Paula, Randy, and Simon.
Dear Chris,
I am happy to say i am your #1 Fan! I liked you ever since you first started out on Idol, you don't know how many people are in this with you, you have the largest fanbase of anyone! You might want to check out the sites that support you, and maybe leave a note, a shout out to all of us who are supporting you! ( the site is www.chrisslighfans.com ) (I'm Chubby Hands) Were all struggling to choose a name for your fan base. We took "Fro Patro'" out of the running because it sounded too similar to Taylor's "Soul Patrol" Good luck, and check out the site!
Thanks
-Chubby Hands
P.S. Winning might not be such the best thing for your career. The american idol contract says, that you MUST sign a album with them. You must also go onto a tour with them. They take around 40% of your earnings and you have to do freaking ford commercials! I'd much rather see you have success with your band, and to make #1 records with them. Not Alone. Well thats pretty much what i had too say! GOOD LUCK, - From your #1 Fan, Chubby Hands (I'm the #1 poster on that site also!)
Chris, My husband and my three kids and I are big Idol fans. We loved you from the beginning. Then we heard you were a follower of Christ...so are we! My son is 10 and loves guitar and music too! So we have you as our favorite. We think we need more Christians in ROCK! We have never voted before but we will now!
I saw you on American Idol and automatically decided you were my favorite... you have an awesome personality and an awesome voice, it gives me goosebumps... GOOD LUCK!!!! Keep in touch!
Amy
You kicked ass tonight!
Best of luck man. Enjoy watching you every week. My girlfriend is even willing to leave me on the side of the road for you. Keep up the sense of humour man, show Simon who's boss. Again, good luck, you Rock!
awesome performance tonight. i want you to win so bad. thank you for singing a mute math song. that was the best part. god bless. sheiLa
I just watched you on Idol. Loved it. You rocked. Good luck.
You are my favorite singer in the competition!! Please keep your head high and don't let Simon get you down! I love your personality and I think you are unique! I hope to see you in the finals and I wish you the best of luck in life! God Bless!!
Christy
Loved your performance tonight, Chris. We're praying for you!
Fellow Seacoasters - Debbie, Gibson and Caroline Hopper, Long Point campus
Loved your performance tonight. I'm guessing the song was a Chrstian artist-don't know it but it was
awesome. Stay true to yourself and good luck!
Jackie

Best of luck to you on Idol Chris and or with your fantastic band! Your sense of humor is obviously only one of your many, many talents.
If this is truly the Chris Sligh that is amazing on American Idol, I'm honored to be commenting you! You are certainly the best singer and you are totally hilarious! I hope that I may be lucky enough to meet you someday and tell you in person how great I think you are! Good luck and God bless! ~*Brittney
WOAH. I just finished watching American Idol... i usaully only watch the beginning to laugh at the crazy auditions, but you're amazing! i've been watching and voting for you throught the season so far. Good Luck!
Way to go man. I'm a photographer in Greenville. www.bluemtnphoto.com Call me when your back in town if you need anything dude.

Hello, Chris. My name's Sara, and I'm from Indiana. My husband Dan and I watched tonight's show, and we were impressed with how well you insulted Simon Cowell. Very sassy.
You're our favorite, and your performance tonight was great!
Also, Dan has the same green shirt with the foil design on the front that you wore to your audition. Yay Old Navy! Very dapper choice, I must say.
God bless you, and good luck,
Sara
Hi Chris....I have been friends of your family since I was a child. I met your grandparents when my parents were stationed in Panama. You and your family stayed in our home in Virginia for a week....I am so happy for the success you have had so far. I hope you do well on American Idol! Rock on!
PS My Dad talked to your grandfather yesterday....he's proud of the testimony you have kept.
Chris, if you read this I really feel that you need to pick a Counting Crows song for some time in your Idol stint. I really think songs by Counting Crows will really fit you. Try it.
Dude, love the MuteMath, never heard them before reading your list. Great Music. Good Luck
You have totally got my vote! Keep up the great work. :)
Chris, I just want to let you know that you are an incredible performer and I keep trying to vote for you and instead accidentally vote for the lady who sang "all circuits are busy". But I pledge unto you that I will totally try to vote for you and support your bid for American Idol.
If I am unable to vote for you, Chris Sligh, tonight or any other night, and you end up being a runner up, I have every faith that you will get a record deal out of this. I will totally buy your album for real and not download it on the internet and also I will give you one week as my featured song on MySpace. I will give you what small specks of fame I have in order to provide some sort of consolation for me not being able to get through to your special voting lines.
Also, your performance tonight totally made me think I wanted to don a white cap and have a tailgate party like a frat guy at a DMB concert. It's true. And I also am sad you took down your blog but I don't blame you because fame is weird and I hope you don't have weird sorority party toilet pictures like that girl Antonella.
dude, your awsome ,best of luck...GOD speed !
Good luck, Chris, getting all the positive exposure from AI that you want for your own musical career. I thought you were great, again, tonight, and I LOVED how you stood up to Simon. You are a unique fellow and like someone said on your forum, a breath of fresh air! I'm so happy to see you have a lovely wife. Best to you, Gail
Love you and your voice! I'm voting for you! Best of luck! :)
You are pretty much amazing! Your audition song has got to be one of my favorites, and right when I heard you start singing it, there were shivers going up and down my spine! Wow, you knock my socks off!
My twin 12 year old sons and I just found out that you're a Christian. We voted for you tonight 82 times in 2 hours. Awesome! It's great to have a follower as a role model! Thanks!
Candie, Tom & Eric Lobdell
My boyfriend and I are rooting for you on American Idol! Good luck!
I LOVE the fact you did Mute Math !!! Excellent choice to keep it current on the show. Good luck, prayin' for ya.
Chris! You did a MuteMath song on Idol. Awesome!!! Alright for next's week session, how about a needtobreathe or a Mat Kearney joint.
Rock on Chris. You're a cool cat and you're in my prayers. Peace be with you.
Just wanted to let you know I'm a fan and will be voting for ya. :) And I am definitely not a 'christ-follower', but everyone makes their own path and choices which is what makes life interesting. Good luck!!
The Il Divo comment was priceless.
I voted for you.
I've been watching the show for six years.
I've never actually called in and voted.
Props.
Chris,
I'm too old to compete. I've been entertaining hundreds of people every week for 10 years. The best advice I can give you is to keep up what you're already doing! You know you've got the chops. Look into the camera and act like the MILLIONS of people you're singing to are in your living room. You've got a great sense of humor. Use it to your advantage as well. I think you'll be the 4th runner up, which is a great compliment at this stage. One more thing.... keep your hair exactly like it is. You are a STAR! --Clavijo- HOWL at the Moon, San Antonio
God bless, Chris- we're rooting for you! --Dana
LOLZ. 38th time and you're goin postal (if i heard you correctly).. funney~ xD
love your expression at your desire to sing 'do i make you proud'.. haha~! Godspeed~!
Chris!
I saw the show last night! You did a great job, and looked like you had a ton of fun!
This may sound stupid, but for all of us who remember hearing you sing in college....let us hear that beautiful voice we all know is there! You are an incredible singer, so prove Simon wrong. Don't let him get away with his "you're not the BEST singer!" comment! Be the best singer!!!! It was Kiss From a Rose that wowed the judges! Let 'em hear you REALLY sing, and you will wow them again!
KT
Dude,
You must perform Blues Traveler on Idol. Especially "Dance with me Felicia" It will bring down the house.
Cippy
Do needtobreathe next!!
Hailey dont hurt me!!
Oh please oh please!!
Chris,
I'd also like you to know that my blog is #1 if you do a google search for "chris sligh wicked hair".
Beautiful voice, beautiful spirit!!! My family's prayers are with you as you continue on this journey! Your voice rocks...

Dear Chris:
I was just thinking about your very astute comment about song choice being key to winning American Idol. I am a lawyer and I like to look at all problems logically and from what I can tell from watching the show these many years, I think this is absolutely true.
My suggestion for your next song choice (or perhaps later in the competition) is "Fever" in the style of Tom Jones.
Rooting for you,
Bevin

My husband and I are rooting for you! It's wonderfully to see someone in Ministry who can be fun, talented, funny and Christ-like... keep on letting Him shine :-).
I thought you did OK last night. The male competition is pretty weak this year. Don't talk back to the judges yet. Let America get to know you first. They might not get your sense of humor yet. Also, you might want to sing "Sweet Home Alabama" next week if you get voted through. That would be hilarious if you did that song.
I never watched the show before this season. My sister made me watch the auditions with her, though, and I got sucked in (mostly because of YOU, so thanks a lot). You're one of my favorites! Good luck.
Made several hundred votes for you last night.. I hope you go far in AI. Good luck!
Chris,
It's great to see a fellow BJU Chorale member hit the lime-light! I was laughing last night when Randy and Paula talked about you rushing the song. I could just hear Dr. Cook yelling at us to stay on the front edge of the beat. It wasn't your fault the band was lagging (they're used to accompanying untrained singers). Don't worry about Simon... he's threatened by anyone with a bigger personality than him. But don't argue with him... he's always going to win. Props to you for stepping outside the fundy cult and learning to worship God "in spirit and in truth". And thank you for bringing real music to the AI stage. If I have to suffer through another off-key Stevie Wonder song, I think I'll lose my mind. - Scott (BJU, class of 98) P.S. - I agree with the Counting Crows comment... I bet you could pull off a mean Adam Duritz. Make us recovering BJU alumns proud!

Chris, Greetings from a fellow former BJU student as well. I can totally relate to your struggles with growing up in a fundamentalist church and struggling with music standards. My wife and I live in LA now and attend a great church out here. We are cheering for you big time on American Idol!
Chris--I hope you win American Idol. You have an awesome voice! There is real depth and character to it. Just watched the show with 12 guys. I liked your whole song, but especially the slow part. It really showed the strength and range of your voice. You were the best by far. Good luck!
Rock On Bro- saw you on idol last night-loved your comment to Simon(......teletubbies) it was pretty clear he did not handle it well. Keep sticking up for yourself and taking criticism maturely.
Hi - good luck. Hope you get FAR! (Found your blog searching for a pic of your wife - lol!) Can't wait till the content comes back, would like to learn more about you and what you do when you're not on Idol :)
You did great last night! Good luck!
Hey Chris-
First of all... thanks so much for covering MuteMath! Hands down, the best song choice of the night!
Keep picking songs like that and you'll keep getting my vote!
Best,

Chris--you have the right stuff to make it big. We beleive in your abilities and support you all the way. It is great to see a person proclaim his faith so openly. Super!
My Fiance and I want to wish you luck on American Idol and would like to tell you we will be voting for you every round. Good Luck we hope you win.

Hello Chris,
I was born in Germing and spent my first 6 years there. I am a Christian MuteMath fan living in Charlotte, NC. I am also a missionary. My wife and I hoping to plant churches in eastern Germany. Trust in the truth of the Bible. No matter what people in hollywood, nashville, or any other city tries to tell you. I am not a fundy in the sense that you use it on yout blog, but God had done some awesome things in my life. No one can deny that.

Chris,
You were my fave the first time you sang and I am pulling for you all the way! I made "Know" my song on MySpace and I really love that song. You have a superb voice and I enjoy your songwriting as well. No worries my friend, no matter how you do on AI, you are a rock star now. Congrats! I see you are a Beatles fan..if you ever have the chance, please sing "Oh Darling" if there's a Beatles theme week. Great song for a great voice.
You fuckin' ROCK dude! I hope you make an album - I would buty it NO QUESTIONS! Bring that soulful type shit you auditioned and win Idol baby!
You have an AMAZING voice!

Hi Chris,
I'm a 59 yr old Greenville native and a die hard idol fan. I've never missed a show & always pick the winner. I'm also an ex singer. Just wanted you to know that we voted for you a few hundred times Tuesday night. We love your voice, we want you to win.
Word of warning however, we were not impressed with your comments to Simon. If you think people hate him and want to hear those kind of remarks, you are dead wrong. The show would be nothing without him and I agree with about 98% of everything he says. Stay focused on your voice and not stand up comedy. It just isn't professional to bash the creator of the show, I'm sure you will lose votes if you continue to do so. Be humble & proud as the good Christian that you are. Make us proud of you man. Good luck tomorrow night, we are praying for you.

Way to go man - you had a good voice even back in college, although of course we weren't about to tell you about it then!
I've never voted for anyone on AmericanIdol before but I just might have to pick up the phone this time around.
Take care, and remember why we're here.
- Brad, former BJU roommate
I wish you the best of luck on American Idol. You are my faveorite male contestant by a long shot. Your voice has a uniguness to it that has never been seen on American Idol before. My God be with you on your journey.
You like totally rock Chris. My brother and I both pick the winners at the beginning and we both picked you! We are from Spartanburg which is right by Greenville and we want to let you know we, well I voted for you like 1,000 times on Tuesday so keep singing man!
Hey Chris!! Greenville girl here too! You have an awesome voice, and we're so proud to have such a wonderful rocker from Greenville! Please stay humble, though, and let your amazing voice get you the votes you deserve! You rock man!!!
Hi Chris. Good Luck. Great job. Enjoyed your blog diary. It was funny, clear, real. Reminded me of Paul Theroux's nonfiction travel books. I think you should be the chronicler of this amazing cultural phenomena . Why not write THE book? Even though I haven't been a consistent watcher except this season, I find the behind the scenes info fascinating.
Congratulations on making the top 20, man. Christy and I are praying for you and for Sarah.
Oh, and I'm totally into MuteMath now. iTunes is a wonderful thing. I hope you're unavailable for Sallie's wedding!
YOU ARE MY DOPPLEGANGER!!!!!!
Good job Chris! I've never voted before and voted for you this week! Good song choice; you introduced me to a new band (not too hard to do since I grew up in the fundamentalist cirle and am just now getting out really).
You're Great! I love your hair! Your voice is pretty darn nifty as well. It's nice to see the first person that puts Simon in his place is a native of South Carolina. Good luck!! Bring it home!!
Chris,
Class act on Night 3...
Simon can help you out if he likes you. He's a good critic...
LOVED the 1st song choice!!
You are ahead of everyone as a performer, but several have better voices....
Be real! Be Funny! Be PERSONABLE!
You should go far!
(know you from NGC and NHCC)
Hey man! You are awesome. My girlfriend said that if anything ever happens to me, you're next in line. Hope that's ok, lol.
You have an amazing voice, a wicked sense of humour and an even better personality. Never go far from your Christian roots.
Keep rocking man. See you in the final 2 for sure! If Canadians could vote, you'd have mine.
Your brother in Christ
