Here are some web-articles and blogs about the Top 12 Results show.   Chris and the other contestants attended a red carpet, after-show party.  Hopefully we'll get some information about that a little later today.

What a way to make my heart race!  Bringing Chris Sligh down to center stage and then teasing us about whether or not he will be eliminated, and then CUTTING TO COMMERCIAL!

What a LONG commercial break that was!!

He is safe!  Boy, my heart is still beating a mile a minute!

YAY CHRIS SLIGH!!  Can't wait to see what joy you bring us next week!

As Reported by RealityTVMagazine.com

I think MJ of MJsBigBlog summed it up best:

"Chris Sligh - “Wanna Be Loved” by DC Talk - Chris shaved his head in 2005.  He says he looked almost exactly like Phil Stacey, except better looking. No doubt. Phil’s pale tiny head scares me.  Chris grew his hair out and discovered that he had “lush curls.”  Me too!  Chris and I should trade styling tips some day. Ok, maybe not. The song itself is a little Brady Bunch for my tastes.  But, as always Chris brings it vocally. Power, tone, range–Chris has it all. This was easily the best vocal performance of the night, with Blake coming in right behind him. Randy and Paula didn’t like the song choice.  Paula didn’t like the vocal, which I don’t get. Chris asks her if he was better than last week, and Paula says no.  “Trouble” is a much better song, but I thought Chris really challenged himself vocally this week. Simon heard shouting, but I’m not getting that, either. Really, if Chris had a problem tonight, it was song choice.  But otherwise, he was stellar.  Chris helps Ryan pimp Cingular and then asks him for a hug. He just wants to be loved."

Chris and Ryan share a 'moment'
