Chris is amazing and the dedication he wrote in the program just proves it again!!! I'm seeing him in Hartford tonight and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris,
What a beautiful dedication. I couldn't help but cry. But, I know what you've said is so true and from your heart. Your fans do love you,support you and your family,and wish for you nothing but the best. You were robbed of a title that you should have had,but I haven't talked to anyone yet that hasn't said Chris is going places far better than he would have. The other is just a title, and to all of your billions of fans out there you are and will always be OUR AMERICAN IDOL, and you are an idol--a people idol. Always remember your roots, and don't change from the way you are now---not only is your voice so GREAT, but your personality,
beautiful smile,and you being so genuine is what we adore,and no one wants you to get caught up in a way that will hurt you. Elvis was known as the King, but Elvis
got too caught up in the rush of things. You now are the KING to me, and hope you do Suspicious Minds on a C.D., Conway Twitty was my other idol way back when, and I loved every song he sung. I would love for you to do one of his songs,like HELLO DARLIN, since you have so many fans out there from 1 to 100,there will be a lot of people that would love to hear that. Thank you for your time in Lasker,and hope you are enjoying your t-shirts that I had made for you and Deanna. With all my best regards to you & family. I talk with your Momma as often as I can. Sincerest wishes & enjoy your tours. I wish I could go to everyone of them. Hazel Jones
