Several factors seem to make Chris Sligh early favorite to win the 2007 American Idol edition. Randy Jackson hinted in a media conference call that the eventual winner may be someone that auditioned in Birmingham, but maybe not from Birmingham. Chris Sligh is from Greenville, SC and was auditioned in Birmingham.
For his Birmingham audition, Chris Sligh sang “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal. After his audition, Paula Abdul stood up, applauded, and told Chris that she liked him very much. Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell agreed and quickly put Chris through to Hollywood.
What could be mere speculation is apparently taken very seriously by American Idol handicappers and odds makers. Sligh opened at BetCRIS.com (Visit Web site here) as early favorite to win American Idol Season 6. Sligh's current odds to win AI6 is +450 (Betting $100 would pay $450 if he wins the contest).
Chris seems to be motivated. “I really want to make David Hasselhoff cry." Chris said referring to how David Hasselhoff cried when Taylor Hicks won American Idol 5
