Well, something happened to the chat function or something...I was there the whole time, but I wasn't seeing the responses. Then I refreshed, and got 15 responses! But by then, nobody was there. Sort of a comedy of errors.
I'm having a weird reaction to Kris's album. First, I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that here's this guy who we happened to like, who we really never thought had a shot but hoped had one, who we watched rise and rise every week and go all the way and win, who we watched on tour. And followed daily and nightly, literally. And all the time since May, when he won, almost all that time, anyway -- he has been working on this album. I mean, think about it -- the whole time we were watching those tour videos he was thinking about and worrying about this album, as well -- flying all over the country to collaborate with people, etc. -- and getting the flu, to boot. And then as soon as the tour was over he continued to work on this thing, flew to England, even.
So anyway, here's this kid who sang Man In The Mirror, and now he has put out an album that will be heard by people around the world. How did this happen? lol
