Chris Sligh's Heart Is As Big As His Belly
There's a bummer of a story about a teen who was killed recently on her way to see a Chris Sligh concert. But VFTW's favourite Big Boy shows once again that he's a good guy and a class act (especially compared to all the self-absorbed douchebags we've seen on Idol) by doing an upcoming benefit concert for her. According to StarExponent.Com...
On Aug. 29, Culpeper teen Kelsey Orndorff was on her way to a Chris Sligh concert in Fredericksburg. Kelsey, 17, never got to see the “American Idol” finalist perform. She died when her car crossed the center line and veered head-on into traffic.
In the wake of the tragedy, Sligh, a Christian singer, became aware of Orndorff’s story. On Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Culpeper County High School auditorium, he will hold a benefit concert in her memory. (click on link for more details)
VFTW's known for a long time Chris is a good guy. Very kind gesture, Big Boy. If you're in the area, be sure to go and show your support.

David Cook's Album Pulled from Amazon
After David Cook sold tons of copies of his album "Analog Heart" on Amazon.com this past week, the album has mysteriously disappeared from the site. Actually, it's not mysterious at all. David can't sell his own music while on the show, an always-in-place Idol rule. The only people who got around this were Constantcrap Maroulis and Chris Sligh, whose ex-bands sold the music using the workaround that the singers were no longer members of the band. David Cook was the last non-plant in the competition, but the fact that he is being pimped so heavily at this point and pulling stunts like this makes us wonder if he's more planty than we expected. Though the article gets a good jab in at Carly: "That girl always looked like her head was about to explode when she was singing." So true. So true.
