Chris is never happy with his performances. He's a perfectionist, and he always sees something he thinks he could have done better. He hit every note, and I think his performance was perfect. But, I'm his mom.

I feel like if you walk with confidence and carry yourself well, you'll probably be the least likely one to be attacked.

It's not over until it's over. I know it, and Chris knows it. If people get complacent and don't vote, he won't win. I've seen it happen before. We need people to keep calling. Most people don't know you can call 10 times to vote, and you can vote five times from each e-mail address.
