Chris is not a ballad type of singer. He is a rapper. That is what really makes him shine. We are still waiting for a performance as good and as moving as the one he delivered in his first audition when he introduced his “Young Homey” to the world (watch video here).

Nicole Scherzinger throws up some verbatim: “I have so much mad love for you.” Paula Abdul was proud of Chris too for owning the song. I’m not so sure about that. Simon Cowell saw improvement, appreciated his honesty, but claimed his mentor literally put Chris in hell referring to the pyrotechnics. L.A. Reid replied Chris had the fire cause he’s hot.
