Why won't Chris Richardson go away???

So, I said last week that I would have an open mind this week about Chris Richardson... I will try, I really will...

His big secret is that he used to play football in college and that he used to be chunky. First of all, big shocker about the football - he's got jock written all over him. As for the chunky thing, the pictures they showed of him did not show any chunk at all... I'm not sure where he carried the weight, but I didn't see any big difference.

Open mind, open mind, open mind... I'm struggling...

He sings Keith Urban's "Tonight I Wanna Cry," and while my first reaction is to say I don't like it, I'm trying hard to really listen. It's not great - maybe a bit too slow for him - he wobbles through parts of it and goes off key in spots.

Wait!!! He just did something - I don't know what it is, but for the first time in all the weeks that they've been showing this kid, I heard the similarity to Justin Timberlake in his voice... curses!!

OK, so it wasn't horrid, but it was not as good as previous weeks. I think he may be better off sticking to the faster, upbeat kind of songs.

I don't know what to say about Randy and his apparent love for Chris Richardson - it's bordering on ridiculous. For the third week in a row, he loves him. He must not be listening to the same guy I'm listening to, but whatever. Paula likes the song, says he adapted well. Simon says it was good, but not the best vocal they've heard. He says it was cutesy, and kind of nasally.
