Sligh was born to sing.

Chris Sligh should have saved the news about his wife for this week - that could have been the thing that would surprise us to know... OK, I'm just being mean. I think Chris is awesome and I'm actually looking forward to ending tonight's episode just as good as it began.

His surprising thing is the fact that he had very short hair for a long time and that just two years ago, he shaved his head completely bald. he also mentions that he's never had a perm - that the curls are all natural.

He sings "Wanna Be Loved" by DC Talk and it's like a breath of fresh air after being in a smoke-filled room. As expected, he closes the show with a bang - he's a great performer, a great singer. I'm not sure he's as versatile as Blake Lewis, but his voice is way bigger than Blake's, that's for sure.

I'm not crazy about the song - never heard it before, and unlike Blake's song, it didn't hold my interest, but that's OK, because his voice did. He'll be back next week and for many weeks after that, I'm sure - no worries here.

Randy also wasn't crazy about the song but he gives him the vocal prize of the night. Paula didn't like it, says she wants him to keep rising and this week was just middle of the road, but Randy is quick to say that it was probably just the song, and I agree. Simon liked the beginning of the song but that he shouted in the middle. But Simon tells him he has potential as Randy calls out in the background, "Song choice, song choice."
