What do you mean it's going no where? He hasn't even sent a song for adds, put it up for public download, etc...

I feel like we've been getting mixed signs since the Idol tour ended and he hasn't confirmed anything(as far as signing with a label, having a set release date for his album/single). I think a lot of the reason why we know so little about what's coming up from him is because even he doesn't know. It sucks, because I really want him to break into the industry and show everyone how amazing he is, but at the rate it's going, it looks like he'll likely never get the chance.

Elliot had a nice niche though- and although Idol didn't sign him, they let him come back on the show to advertise his album and they also let him put out his album earlier than they let others who have to abide by the Idol contract.
I'm stymied about what Chris can do to stand-out. He desperately will need publicity though. I hate to say it, but he's going to have to start dating Bea Arthur.

Saw him. "All Alone" is the wrong song to launch the album. It's not "different' enough to make an impact anywhere. Just my opinion, I think it's a mistake and he won't get more than one chance on this particular project. The first song will be a do-or-die situation. It's not good enough but I will be more than happy to be proven wrong.

I definitely wouldn't mind if Chris had a lot of success. Grounded, appreciative, and genuinely nice people like him deserve it.
Blake, on the otherhand....

Chris says the album will be out likely fall, but possibly late summer.
"ALL ALONE" won't be the first single.

I don't know- the pics are bit too Justin. He needs to distance himself from him. Those pics don't show off his good looks, either. The 2nd one, he looks kinda skanky- which we know he isn't.
I did listen to "All Alone" again- not just the AI performance that I had only heard- it's a good song and it sounds much better filled out. It does sound like a "hit" and mayne would be without the stigma- on myspace, he was accused of copying Justin's "What goes around..."- I think I am one of the only ones who had never heard so I went there and they do sound a bit alike- one problem is their voices are so much alike- if I closed my eyes, I might not be able to tell who is singing what-
I do think the comparison might keep him from being played instead of helping him- I don't know- but "All Alone" is a good song.

He said before "All Alone" isn't the lead single for the album. It was only for that Edy's venture.

Also, I've never heard anyone compare this to "What Goes Around.." and I run the Chris board..haha I don't think it sounds the same at all.

Let's discuss music, not body's.
Chris (unlike Britney, Janet, etc) won't need to be on a stage full of nearly naked backup dancers to sell music, sure might fail, but I'll like him more for not selling his dignity.

You can't have dignity and be a star in the music biz- it's either one or the other. As John Lennon once said "You have to be a bastard to make it in this business and the Beatles were the biggest bastards on Earth."

Maybe these different AI guys should form a boyband. Yes, boybands are not big anymore, but with the right 4 or 5 guys , it may work. They all still have fanbases, even if they are small.

I sort of forgot about him. it's just too late now to make any sort of dent now with a CD. He will basically have to start over from scratch as if he was never on Idol at all. It might even be better for him to go the Jennifer Hudson route and try to get a high-profile role in a movie or TV show and then come back to the music. "All Alone" was pretty good but it was nothing ground-breaking and thousands of wanna-be's have songs like that. Perhaps it would be better to join a group than go solo at this point because he needed to strike while the iron was hot and it's pretty frozen now. Too much time has gone by- he is just going to embarrass himself putting out an indie album now as "Chris Richardson- American Idol contestant"- the only press he will get is how little it sells which is not good. He just needs to start all over. This is just the reality of it- personally, I like him.
