Farewell to Chris S. I’ll miss his humor. He was often a breath of fresh air on the program. I felt like on Tuesday night, when he was getting critiqued by the judges, he was thinking, “You’re right. I was off, and it’s time for me to go home. Just let me go. I’m tired of all this.” There was nothing witty or quipy (I made that word up) about him, no funny comebacks. And I think that hurt him when people went to phone in their votes. He might have overcome an “off” performance with his humor. Maybe. Maybe not.

I was sad to see him leave too…we really liked him. My husband suspected that he would be voted off this week’s show when he (Chris) gave a “shout out” to the guy heading up the “vote for the worst” campaign on last week’s show. I can’t see Idols’ producers being very happy about that. Seems like he was biting the proverbial hand that was feeding him. I wonder if they had more to do with the decision than the voting public…? We’ll probably never know…not in this lifetime, anyway!!!
I feel like we’re finally getting to the point where almost (ALMOST) all the remaining finalists are actually real contenders. I feel so bad for Sanjaya. He’s got a nice voice but he has so much to learn before he’s a real performer. I want him to go home and get a couple more years of experience and training under his belt. I feel embarrassed for him all the time! But he’s famous now, so I suppose some great opportunities will come his way. Good for him.
Chris is a great guy. He’s a music pastor (I found that out from my music minister; they’re friends).
