Exactly! Very well put this is just the beginning to MANY wonderful things for Chris. I am sure of it!

(((hug)))
Chris - do it like you know how. God will stand behind you...there is a plan for your voice and talent.

I'll BUMP everything you said!

Chris & Sarah,
We love you and your Fro Patro isn't going anywhere other than to see you in concert! This is just the beginning of success for you guys! Know that you are loved and prayed for.
Blessings & Peace to you,
SElena & Skipper Parsley

Chris, you and your beautiful wife and family are in my prayers. In just a few short months, you have touched many lives and introduced some wonderful music to the variety-deprived, including your band's album.

We will miss you, wish you an abundance of blessings and anticipate your future with optimism. Now that the pressure is off, have fun on the interview shows and we'll be watching.

God bless you and forgive those who held Him against you.

Sending a great big internet hug to Chris!

I never saw Chris perform, but first learned about him and this site through my good blogging friend, steve-o-meter. I even submitted fan art.

Best wishes to him and his family. He will go very far!

Thanks for putting the site together for Chris and being a GREAT supporter. It was a fun ride!

This was the only time I got excited about Idol. Being a very stubborn man who does control the DVR....there will be no more Idols for me and mine. Thanks K for all you have done, I was having so much fun. Can't wait for Chris's next non Idol album.

did he get voted off tonight

Chris is way too freakin talented for AI, it has lost all credibility for me. I've been f*cking crying my eyes out like a d@mn baby since the show ended.. I never get like this on AI because it's just a show. I think of Chris so much more than just a contestant.

:::sticks HPF album in to calm down and hear the amazing voice of our Sligh:::

Chris,
You've been my #1 since Birmingham and I've loved being a part of the Fro Patro from the very beginning! Your voice, wit, and faith have been my daily sparkle for the past three months - and will continue to be until who knows when! Thanks for being great, and good luck with whatever the future holds. I'll be listening to the HPF cd until the concert tour... and you'll have my support in all of your future endeavors!

Stay amazing, and God Bless!
Fro Patro'!!!

The History Cutie, Lori

Oh! & Please be sure to post the information about all the shows Chris will be on because I don't want to miss anything. Thanks!

Chris, Your Great! Hang in there. Hold your head high because you deserved it! To me you out shined them all!

I may be a senior citizen, but I know a great singer and I'll be buying your CD's hoping that there will be many. You are a star! American Idol has dropped on my list. I guess I'll have to watch Dancing with the Stars.

Chris, you are our favorite idol. David, our 6 year old cried for quite a while after the show tonight because he will miss you. He prayed for you. We love you and hope we will see more of you in other venues. God will open up other doors for you. Farewell and God bless you!

I am so disappointed! Chris, you're my favorite contestant this year! I am encouraged when I remember Jennifer Hudson -- I pray you'll be one of those voted-off-too-soon geniuses who goes on to something far better than American Idol.

Chris, what I love about you is that you are absolutely real and yourself, something you don't see much even with big stars in Hollywood. I love your humility when the judges gave comments. You are not arrogant, like some. Man, you are great! God will promote you. This is not the end. This is the beginning! We love you!

Hey, everyone! Hey, Chris! I just quit Idol tonight.

I just wanted to say that I'll miss you guys and I had a great time on the boards with you. Chris, maybe your life can be a bit normal for a while and you can hug your wife a little more. God bless you guys and God bless Chris.

(((HUGS)))

I looked forward to watching AI every week just to see Chris perform. So it looks like my tues and weds evenings are free again
Chris, you are very talented and I wish you, your family and the band the best of luck for the future. I will keep checking this site for updates and support you all the way.
Thanks to Steve-O for creating this great site.

I'm done with this show. CHris is one of th ebest singers AI ever had, in my opinion. For him to get kicked off is seriously unbelievable. I'm serious. I'm never watching AI ever again. I hate it now.

David Hasselhoff Cried Tonight.
Chris Good Luck in you Career. Others may have made it farther in the contest but I have a feeling you have a very bright future in front of you. God bless.

Kay, you are absolutely THE GREATEST CHRIS SLIGH FAN...This site is wonderful, do not take it down, let's watch as popularity grows and the real genius of Chris Sligh is shown. I've said here before, Chris Sligh is the most talented singer, songwriter, musical artist, I've known. His talent is just the beginning. He's a great guy. Great husband and true blue friend. YOU (KAY) attached yourself to the right ship. Seeing Chris Surratt's post earlier says it all. As our pastor, he knows what I'm telling you. God has blessed Chris Sligh and Chris is a blessing to each of us. Don't forget to share the love. John 3:16 and 17 are powerful verses. God loves each of us sooo much that he gave us Jesus and through Him we can live forever with HIM AND Jesus didn't come to condemn us, but to save us. Remember these words and love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Thanks Kay.

The Fro Patro' Rocks and Chris Sligh Rules!

Please let us know where we might catch Chris on post-idol interviews. I have to believe someone is going to snatch him up. He's sure to go far, either on the strength of his beautiful, pure voice or his wonderful songwriting ability. I love the Communion song I've heard on the internet. Best Wishes, Chris, from one of your Arkansas fans

damn, i lost my favorite people on idol because of vote for the worst keeping sanjaya in darnit. You all realize the falsehood of American idol and that alll people who are in it sign over all money to Simon. Also all the records from the peoplke arent allowed to write their own songs! Also the auditions arent even done in front of our 3 judges.

Don't know why, but for some reason I turned on the TV a couple months ago and caught that audition. I felt that here was someone who was going somewhere - he touched me as someone with a kind, big, funny soul. I'm not a big TV fan, but researched Chris on the internet and was quite impressed with what I found. I watched AI from that point forward, bought the T-shirts (the sligh-louette ones) and downloaded the album the minute it was available. And I voted like a fool kid. I was a little concerned about the whole AI experience, sort of comparing it to making a deal with the devil at the crossroads, and hoped that Chris would make it out of there unscathed. Seemed to me like the further you get in the competition the more hooks they'd sink in you. Most probably, although it is a sorrow to see my favorite be voted off (despite my fingers worn to the bone-tips) it is a good thing. I'm hoping this earlier exit means that Chris will have a little more independence to go forward with the extra fame he won for himself in this endeavor. Good luck Chris, we are here to support you as you move onwards and upwards!

Chris, you have touched my heart!! You are an amazing artist and you will go far in your music career. I am so glad you stumbled upon my television set. I was hooked the first moment I saw you!! And now will be a forever fan. I wish you and your band all the success in the world, and I hope all of your dreams come true!!! You are my American Idol. Show OVER!

OH I agree with so many of the sentiments shared..especially 50PLUS..maybe because we're closer in age! I can't help but think of what lies ahead for you Chris...God makes room for our gifts and He will surely be harnessing your great talent for His glory. Not to discount your grief and disappointment over what seems like an untimely exit from the show, I can't help but feel good that you can branch out more freely from here. Somehow to exit now seems better strategically, but that is based on my present impressions of the VFTW shenanigans. Chris may you feel encouraged despite the let down of not competing further. You were a daily bright spot to many (as mentioned above)and your gifts and talents will go forth!

Chris and family you have our continued support.
God gifted you with a talent and gave you and the World an opportunity to meet. Trust in HIS will, follow your dreams, listen to your heart and stay true to yourself. You showed that from a foundation of faith comes not just a talented musician singer but a person of strong character.
Sending you many heartfelt hugs, blessings and lifting you up in prayers,
Sami

CHRIS! Good luck to you, and I think it's great that you're open about your beliefs - not always an easy road to take. I've heard great things in your past and expect great things in your future. I can hardly wait!

Hey, this is just the beginning for Chris! Idol was but a stepping STONE. God nevers closes a door, that he does not open a Window. There is a wide open Window waiting for Chris Sligh. He will know how to use it! When you have Faith, you can move Mountains, and Chris Sligh will move Mountains! Mark my Word! I hope to hear some good old Southern Gospel from you Chris! God bless you and your family, and Please don't ever change WHO you ARE! BELIEVE! kittykat from Texas!

Chris...God bless! Greenville loves you!

So sad to see your go Chris, but I see great things in your future, you are already a star. You have so many people that love you and are standing by your side...I look forward to seeing you in the media and hearing your songs for years to come....Brenda from Ontario

Chris, you have a truly beautiful voice and I know, I just KNOW, we will be hearing a lot more of it.

Good luck and best wishes from across the pond,

UK fan

Chris, so sorry to see you leave AI only because I will miss your beautiful voice on Tuesdays. I have had your CD for quite awhile so I will continue to listen to it everyday. Can't wait to see you on tour. I am so glad that I took a chance on something beautful and found you. I know you will go far. You can be sure that us here on this fansite that Kay started will be here with you forever...God Bless

David Hasselhoff might not be crying, but I sure am. I REALLY look forward to seeing you perform every week, so now I'm feeling a big void. As much as I'll miss you, I'm glad you'll be able take some time to rest and regroup. I can't wait to see you on tour with Idol and HPF, and can't wait to hear more of your great music. Rock on, man!

Love, HorseyButt from Pittsburgh

Chris love your singing and your humor. Sorry to see you leave Idol...looked forward to you every week. ((((((Hugs))))))

Chris, I loved watching and listening to you. I couldn't wait for American Idol to come on to see what you were singing. I love your CD and will buy everything of yours in the future. Your songs that you wrote are awesome. I have no doubts that you are going far and American Idol has lost one of the best ever. I know I have never missed a show since season one but will not watch the rest of this year until the finals when you will be back to perform with the others. Good luck to you and your wife and just keep doing what you are doing.

Chris, I don't have many music idols, but Elton John has so fascinated me over the years with his talent --- you mirror him in my opinion!!! I don't mean you sound like him, but you possess the same raw talent. To me, EJ is a modern day Mozart and I think you have the same potential!!! I am dying for a CD of yours --- would love pop music AND praise and worship -- please!!!

Guess what Chris...México loves you too! You are a great artist and a very special person, also as Ryan said, you are intelligent and got an excellet sense of humor. Me and my family felt really disapointed with A.I. as you didn´t win the contest, but never with you. Definitively you are the best, and I want you to know that we hope to have the opportunity to have you in our country, we will receive you with open arms as the great star you are. Hope to be able to buy your CD soon. Send you all our love and wish you the success you deserve. God bless you and thank God for letting us know someone like you.
