Chris Sligh And Session Guys Check In From The Studio

‘American Idol’ season six finalist set up an in-studio confessional camera while working on his debut album. Jerry McPherson, Blair Masters, Dan Needham, and Jimmy Lee Sloas got big props from Chris, but the feeling wasn’t mutual. Then, tongue firmly in cheek, Chris predicted, “Judging from the initial response of the session guys who have been playing around on records for years, I gotta say that I think this record’s gonna be huge, maybe 10 million. That’s my guess, maybe 10 million, at least 7 million. We were talking about numbers today, and Michael Jackson sold 104 million records worldwide on ‘Thriller’, and all I gotta say is Jacko, I’m comin for you baby.” Watch the clip via YouTube below.

Chris Sligh Clarifies Comments On Sanjaya Malakar

‘American Idol’ castoff updated a blog posting that many took as critical of fellow ‘Idol’ castoff . “My recent blog post about Sanjaya seemed to get a lot of people up in arms,” Sligh writes at frommymindtoyoureyes. “Though the post is now posted all over the internet, I have decided to remove it from here and I will say this: my intent was never to say anything disrespectful about Sanjaya – those of you who have said it: you are right, I shouldn’t have said that he was annoying…it was poor taste on my part. I also shouldn’t have pointed out my opinion of his voice, though let’s get this straight I NEVER said anything negative about his voice. Sanjaya made the top 24 out of over 100,000 people, and I made it clear that I always thought he deserved to be there. Me saying that 23 people had better voices is in no way negative – negative would’ve been to say that Sanjaya sucks and he can’t carry a tune (I do not think either of those things, I am making a point). However, it was in bad taste and I should’ve known that it would be spun as me being negative, and I was naive to think any differently. So I take full responsibility and apologize sincerely for the original post.”
