So Long (My Friend)

Chris just wants to be loved... tell me what's wrong with that? SharperIron links to an article on beliefnet that hints at American Idol Chris Sligh's Christian past: "If Chris has been paying attention to past seasons of the show, he probably knows that past winners like Carrie Underwood and Fantasia Barrino won lots of votes from Christian viewers, who are a valuable demographic to have on his side. He's trying to court the Christian vote while simultaneously win the favor of kids who think it's punk rock to sing "obscure" (read: not Stevie Wonder) songs on the show. If his strategy works, he could make it all the way to the top." - Idol Chatter: American Idol's Chris Sligh: Christian or Coy? To bad he didn't choose to sing DC Talks' My Friend, which might have been more relevant given the situation.
