So Long, Chris

Chris Richardson had a great ride. He never rubbed me the wrong way like Phil, but he also never really stood out. I do think both him and Phil are better "vocally" than Blake, but for the guys, this year has never really been about vocal prowess. This year has always been about the ladies. Good Luck, Chris!

Randy loved it! Paula agreed, Simon felt he finally lived up to the potential they saw in him at his auditon! Good job for Chris!

Chris Richardson - Mayberry

Seemed a little pitchy to me at points? Having said that I think country is a good fit for Chris! He did a good job other than the pitch problems...

Randy didn't think he connected emotionally...

"Utterly Insignificant", again Simon

Shout out to Virginia Tech from Chris...his home state. He seemed a little emotional when he said it.

Chris Richardson - Smooth

This is a really great song and I really didn't care for Chris's rendition of it. Why does Randy keep telling him to do more of the runs?? The ONLY Idol that has done runs well is Fantasia. She knew when to STOP the run.

Chris Richardson - Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Great start...his profile against a white screen. Had a nice soulful sound! A little pitchy for me in a couple of spots...but otherwise good!

Chris Richardson - Don't Speak

My favorite No Doubt song. Started out a little rough...but definately improved the further he got into the song. Nothing special but not the worst either.

Chris Richardson - Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying

Another good one! What happenned to these kids this week? Is it that the songs had better melodies in the 60's?

Chris Richardson - The Boss

I like Chris and he made that fun. Hard nite for the boys singing Diana Ross songs.
