"This is a nicely produced and packaged CD that shows off Chris' voice, writing and arrangements. The CD makes a great gift for anyone aged 10 to 70!
I just saw Chris and his touring band in concert, After two-hours, I was exhausted just having heard him pour out his heart in virtually every tune he sang. . .this new release should put Chris into the spotlight. . .please support Chris by buying this CD."
Excellent vocals for a frizzy haired fat kid

"I'm not trying to be disrespectful. This guy has a marvelous voice.
I am, however impressed with the vocals in spite of the fact that he was selected for American Idol.
On the show i really liked his tone, his voice, his range. He always did a great job and i was sorry to see him go.
i think we all agree Chris wasn't going to win American Idol--the judges would have taken care of that because he doesn't fit in the "box".
However we can all thank American Idol for introducing us and the world to his fabulous talent.
-- From a fellow South Carolinian!"
Great solo preformance!!!

"Chris Sligh has done it! What a great album for the whole family. The songs, Arise, Cry Tonight, In a moment, and the single Empty Me...all are phenomenal! The whole album is fun to listen to and awe inspiring.
I agree with some of the other reviewers that many of these songs could be cross over hits...however Chris' faith permeates the album
If you want to hear some pre-Idol Chris Sligh with his great band Half Past Forever check out their album...it to is great to listen to."
Enjoyable
