I am posting the NY concert review from Newsday. It's a mixed review, but the writer does compliment Chris on his duet with Gina. The more important reason to look at this is that I left positive comments about Chris's performance in the 2 shows. I encourage you all to leave similar comments. You can agree with me, say you were at a show and had a similar impression, etc. You may want to comment on some of the others also, just to make it more balanced. It is a "forum", so we can even get a "conversation" going. This should help bolster that Newsday poll and keep our Sligh in front!

Anyway, here's the _link_:

Also, keep an eye on that Newsday Poll. Our Chris must remain on top!!!:

Also, someone named Sue (apparently another "seasoned" fan (as Risa would put it)) posted this review of the Nassau Coliseum concert:

This is a curious one. According to this article, Chris answered this reviewer, Steve Barnes:

Below is the original review. I didn't post it when it came out because it was nothing to write home about:

Rosalee - I am getting my thoughts together but will try to get info up by tomorrow. Do have some great pics of Chris on stage. I have to settle down a little

Marleybone -

Great! Take your time. I know it may take a while, especially to get those pics up somewhere (photobucket, imageshack, etc.)
Also, could you post the text or a version of it (as a "review") on mjsbigblog.com? That's what I did to get Chris some positive publicity. It's just a suggestion - It's really up to you.
