Chris Sligh
As his debut CD,”Running Back to You” holds steady as the No. 2 best-selling Christian album on iTunes ®, the project that has wowed critics from USA Today to CCMmagazine.com has the highest debut on Christian SoundScan this week as well. On top of that, his single, “Empty Me” continues to garner praise from Christian radio all across the country and climb the charts (currently No. 15 AC Indicator; No.18 AC Monitor; #23 CHR – all R&R). Here’s what some of the top radio PDs have to say:
Next week Sligh returns to LA to celebrate the season finale of this season’s American Idol, where he’ll attend several Idol events, including Fox TV and Radio press junkets and performing at LA’s massive KIIS fm IDOL FINALE party along with Season 5’s Ace Young and more.
Named as one of Entertainment Weekly’s “Best Idol Auditions Ever,” (http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20007164_20008532_20174767,00.html), Sligh auditioned for American Idol more or less on a whim. To his surprise, his performance swept him onto a fast track to the final rounds. His willingness to take chances, his ironic wit, and his startlingly powerful vocals embedded him into the popular imagination, while his distinctive blend of talent, humor, confidence, and unpredictability led to an exchange with Simon Cowell that delighted the other judges, host Ryan Seacrest, and much of America.
