Chris Young - Season 4

[fluff]

Chris Young, the lone contestant raised in Tennessee (Murfreesboro), began singing at age 8, when he was asked to be a part of a children's song and dance act for the town July 4th celebration because they needed another boy. Chris admits he's pretty single-minded when it comes to his personal goals: To sing for the rest of his life, become a better songwriter and make a living in the music business. In addition to vocals, Chris also plays guitar and a little piano.
The artist he'd most like to perform a duet with: George Strait. Keith Whitley's "Miami My Amy" was the first album he bought, and Whitley's "Ten Feet Away" is his favorite song to sing at karaoke. Chris counts his mom as his hero and when asked what one word he'd use to describe himself, Chris cut to the core: country.

One plain old barn cat named Tigger, who lives in the house, wouldn’t dare go outside, and is treated like she has a pedigree two miles long.

Maybe it is the hat, but my first thought was Toby Keith's little brother. If he is half as good as Toby, he should do very well. I think I have found my fave.

WOW! His voice doesn't go with his looks.....didn't expect his voice to be so deep...he's a cutie too!

He's going to win it all, mark it down.

He is definitely my favorite. The rest of the guys kind of blend together for me (Casey is a very distant second, I couldn't tell the other two apart if I had to) and while I like Nicole, I don't think she'll last much longer. And Kristin annoys the heck out of me!

[Toby]

omg, how amazing was chris last night??? i thought he rocked and totally stole the show!

[Jamie5632]

He was fantastic!!! I loved the stage presence and I loved the song. He has such a great voice and it seems that he is humbled by how great the judges think he is.
