Ok, it was about 8 hours after Taylor was announced the AI and it was 6pm in Malaysia. While driving home, Mix FM radio (one of the popular radio channels from the satelite TV company) was broadcasting the evening news ..... (sorry, may not be exact words)

"....American Idol contestant, Chris Daugthry may not have see his dreams come true but he has a lot to be happy about. He was offerred to be a lead singer for Fuel after they saw him performing on eof their song..."

Geez, of all topics on AI, I thought they were going to say Taylor won. I think it's unbelievable considering : Chris was part of their news section, I mean it;s normal for the radio announcer to mention it & this is Malaysia, why say something about Chris D of all contestants? Just me, probably

I think it's completly normal for them to talk about Chris .. he is a star he is the American idol and soon we will see his album all over the place. I think he is more popular than Taylor. He was suppose to be the American idol!

YES IT'S JUST U!!! I HAVE COME TO REALISE THAT SOME THE MEDIA IS REALLY INTO CHRIS, I MEAN HOW COULD THEY NOT!!!! AFTER ALL HE'S A SURE SUCCESS!

ROCK ON HANDSOME.

Yeah, i got very excited when I heard his name. Just beginning to realise that he has many fans in Malaysia & other countries too. We get to watch AI 8hours+ after the live airing in US.

8 hours??? IN Mexico we have to wait an entire WEEK ! but obviously i can't wait that long ..so i download every episode

its not that unbelievable to me. chris is a really great guy and i am sure that the people in malaysia recognises true talent. moreover, malaysia medias are getting more and more gossipy these days... even my university lecturer supports chris. we were talking the other day after the finale and she went ga-ga over chris's performance with live. lol

Hi Daryl, cool to know someone from the same town! I know Shazmin of Mix FM was rooting for Chris .
