Since then he's released two albums, his self-titled debut and his 2009 "The Man I Want To Be" which spawned his first #1 hit, "Gettin' You Home."Jessi Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11622136654238499602noreply@blogger.comBlogger22125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230280669141321837.post-81600536216658932902010-02-06T11:33:00.000-08:002010-02-06T11:44:07.110-08:00Chris Birthday/Fan Project<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlz-VjcjbTeVYAY-EJcoAOUputPfwFLmiMQYHU2ckr-2xqrDQ4FNJX0l_TV38oxY2XbhEFMjHYIoI4g31ostCfa09gnEa3qYzlKUviq_g29EPfeDYCfTcqmSxYNdXRElTe2S64Pq7N110c/s1600-h/l_fc9dc99b145179e8c76408aeec7b67c7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlz-VjcjbTeVYAY-EJcoAOUputPfwFLmiMQYHU2ckr-2xqrDQ4FNJX0l_TV38oxY2XbhEFMjHYIoI4g31ostCfa09gnEa3qYzlKUviq_g29EPfeDYCfTcqmSxYNdXRElTe2S64Pq7N110c/s320/l_fc9dc99b145179e8c76408aeec7b67c7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435216460321611970" /></a><br /><br />CMA Fest is June 10th-13th this year. Chris' birthday is June 12th. In honor of CMA Fest and Chris' birthday I have decided to do a special Fan Project for Chris. I did this for Lady Antebellum last year and it was awesome. Charles, Dave and Hillary loved it too. <br /><br />My idea is to put a scrapbook together filled with pictures, notes, letters, things Chris has accomplished throughout his career, etc. I'm going to put everything into a scrapbook and give it to him during CMA Fest. If I get to go to his Fan Club Party, I'll give it to him then but there's a chance that I may not be at the Fan Club Party in which case I'll give it to him when I do see him.<br /><br />I want this to be as fan interactive as possible. It's a fan project so I need help from YOU, the fans. What I need is pictures from Chris concerts, notes, letters, anything and everything you want included. Email me anything you want included at floridacountrygirl@gmail.com. I have a very good photo printer so if you email any pictures they will turn out really well. <br /><br />I want to have everything in by May 1st so that I have plenty of time to put the book together and any last minute things can be put in. <br /><br />If you have any questions you can tweet me at @chrisyoungfans, @jessicazelenak or email me at floridacountrygirl@gmail.comJessi Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11622136654238499602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230280669141321837.post-90502518027420717712010-01-27T14:02:00.000-08:002010-01-27T14:17:57.635-08:00Vote for Chris!<OBJECT id=BLOG_video-8bb90acada9b3ff4 class=BLOG_video_class width=320 height=266 contentId="8bb90acada9b3ff4"></OBJECT>Jessi Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11622136654238499602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230280669141321837.post-64978590856350277852010-01-27T10:02:00.000-08:002010-01-27T10:06:46.752-08:00Vote for the winner of the dinner, flowers and a phone call from Chris.<A HREF="http://www.cymerchandise.com/TMIWTBFinalists.html"> <IMG SRC="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l293/Crowns96/3badc4a0-1.jpg"></A><br /><br />Remember that "The Man I Want To Be" contest I told you about?

You can go to <a href="www.chrisyoungcountry.com">Chris' official site</a> for more information and the rules. Here is what is posted on the Official Chris Young Message Boards about it:<br /><br /><i>"<br />Grand prize includes Dinner, Flowers and a phone call from Chris<br /><br /><br />The response to TMIWTB has been overwhelming and we want to share some of the stories with you! Fans, both male and female, are writing Chris and stopping him at shows to tell him how his new single and video, THE MAN I WANT TO BE, has influenced their lives. Their personal stories are both touching and heartbreaking. Some tell how they sing THE MAN I WANT TO BE to their loved ones; others say the words to the song hit home and served as a wake up call; men and women request it at shows and make special dedications on the radio in hopes it will make an impact on a floundering relationship. <br /><br />Can you relate to the song? What’s your story? Did it change a life or create hope that things will get better? Ladies, does it describe the man you hope to find? We want to know. Send it to us at chrisyoungcountrynews@yahoo.com with TMIWTB Story in the subject line before midnight (CST) January 22. Include your full name, address, daytime telephone number and email address. Five entries will be chosen from all qualifying submissions and will be posted online for fans to choose their favorite. The stories will be posted anonymously with a link on Chris’s website, newsletter, and myspace. The winner will be determined by the entry receiving the most votes and announced no later than February 7 – just in time for Valentine’s Day!<br /><br /><br />Grand prize includes:<br /><br />$75 dinner gift card<br />Flowers sent to address provided<br />*Phone call from Chris!<br /><br />Questions?

Here's to all the wonderful and awesome memories we made in 2009 and to all the new memories we are going to make in 2010. Like Brad Paisley tweeted, "Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one." I know I'm going to focus on writing a good one. I'm thinking that 2010 is going to be a time for reinvention. <br /><br />I have a lot of things planned for this blog for 2010. I have some ideas for making it more interactive and a lot of fun. So keep checking back for some new stuff. And don't forget to follow Chris Young Fans on Twitter(@chrisyoungfans) as well as Chris himself(@chrisyoungmusic). <br /><br />Good night to all of you and let's start 2010 off with a bang.Jessi Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11622136654238499602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230280669141321837.post-20669478330905100272009-12-22T19:37:00.000-08:002009-12-22T19:48:50.728-08:00Chris ReviewOne of the @chrisyoungfans followers on Twitter got to see Chris for the first time recently when he played a show in Michigan with Jimmy Wayne. Janna was awesome enough to email a review and a few pictures from the show.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvNoZvZkpEmV_cSznVJCFZ03uqbhh7P7ObTFyFrt0bABehYiSTSvrqvTfDaeHeBuoMy6WG9VE-bEqP8GngDx9F07qRW1Oxq_Rp-cpck001dwmw1wimSGqD4FjAbElqJ_gDK4Q5xs9R69Om/s1600-h/100_5556.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvNoZvZkpEmV_cSznVJCFZ03uqbhh7P7ObTFyFrt0bABehYiSTSvrqvTfDaeHeBuoMy6WG9VE-bEqP8GngDx9F07qRW1Oxq_Rp-cpck001dwmw1wimSGqD4FjAbElqJ_gDK4Q5xs9R69Om/s320/100_5556.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418272590135038066" /></a><br /><br /><i>Driving down the road, I heard WITL Lansing Radio was having Chris Young for a Christmas party, along with Jimmy Wayne! FOR FREE. I immediately got in line for a pair of tickets.<br /><br />I had to go out and buy Chris' album. The only song I heard at that point was Gettin' You Home.. I melted when I saw the video and when I heard it on radio!<br /><br />Long story short, I waited in line from 2pm until 7pm in the 20degree weather! WORTH EVERY MINUTE! We were front row, Chris being about 5feet from me. Man, is he TALL!!<br /><br />He was very engaging - using those eyes of his to win the crowd, which didn't take long.<br /><br />After the show, he was just hanging around the Whiskey Barrel Saloon chatting and drinking it up (lightly, I may add) with whoever was there. He was in a black baseball cap, backwards, just hanging out! NO management, nothing! I didnt want to be a bother and tap him on the shoulder, but soo glad I did!<br /><br />I apologized to him about getting his attention and said "Do you just hate this?" and his response was "Hate what? No - I love it!!". I told him I had watched his video loong before radio played his song and he explained how to get the radio stations to play music.. "They have all the same stuff that CMT has (videos vs music) you just have to ask them to play it". He was really kind and looked into my eyes as we chatted. I could have forgotten that he was such an up and coming star, because of his laid back and engaging personality! I have heard the album a dozen times since then, and can picture his face singing every song.<br /><br />If someone hasn't had the chance to see him, DO IT. Made me a fan, instantly!</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbHjoXPPi7V2WkTF79YjmAJU1Ou2Ggp585F9Vam7VW1SixuUV0AHjA_hqsh8vxPcwh1u3N7s3sNCCeHYX1onS6yQha647FHO8wCQlujrGWluzQv_1JAS0WFP2ZjjBWB0i-9AD57jr_ySz/s1600-h/100_5588.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbHjoXPPi7V2WkTF79YjmAJU1Ou2Ggp585F9Vam7VW1SixuUV0AHjA_hqsh8vxPcwh1u3N7s3sNCCeHYX1onS6yQha647FHO8wCQlujrGWluzQv_1JAS0WFP2ZjjBWB0i-9AD57jr_ySz/s200/100_5588.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418273178199556242" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhENfmH0OK9ftPoVxLPylRFq-OmVKJw3Mg0581cr8mjBPD5pgIIUPxpv3cxcepLeP20Y9YUBH5whzHy0Ep_SaZ7u-KKQ2SIZLqbuSHhFhtSUqIoBnw5RG6-Y7ba9gv-j8xTXdQJvWSiZr37/s1600-h/100_5560.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhENfmH0OK9ftPoVxLPylRFq-OmVKJw3Mg0581cr8mjBPD5pgIIUPxpv3cxcepLeP20Y9YUBH5whzHy0Ep_SaZ7u-KKQ2SIZLqbuSHhFhtSUqIoBnw5RG6-Y7ba9gv-j8xTXdQJvWSiZr37/s200/100_5560.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418273174638626482" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3lVFPEM5yIIy34PVUGR-hxl9YXlKdwEW9Lll6ltzmb6M7qNqnSdZeS4tmWtqqVsufAqvvfgvEODpDLeTXKYIdpaJKVkEybRW2Gff9-Kyty6Dv9Mx6e3cbo2GU4byQoPSN2rs9vlbbxNR/s1600-h/100_5559.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3lVFPEM5yIIy34PVUGR-hxl9YXlKdwEW9Lll6ltzmb6M7qNqnSdZeS4tmWtqqVsufAqvvfgvEODpDLeTXKYIdpaJKVkEybRW2Gff9-Kyty6Dv9Mx6e3cbo2GU4byQoPSN2rs9vlbbxNR/s200/100_5559.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418273167306761554" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs9mFCUpfi2oU8p9GFG1XzSeGllGIADyZmXi5fhETGp6jhArV-CdXEIcEOrJxtLqmv0h3eBxgMoMVGq82FwONeeenQaCsYtkG-NzKl5-zz0lBJWQJnHhzwYwtyrHhmfnuCgv_L4fdiOBES/s1600-h/100_5558.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 133px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs9mFCUpfi2oU8p9GFG1XzSeGllGIADyZmXi5fhETGp6jhArV-CdXEIcEOrJxtLqmv0h3eBxgMoMVGq82FwONeeenQaCsYtkG-NzKl5-zz0lBJWQJnHhzwYwtyrHhmfnuCgv_L4fdiOBES/s200/100_5558.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418273164743302114" /></a><br /><br />I agree with Janna.

I got this list from the Forums at www.chrisyoungcountry.com. Be sure to go by his OFFICIAL Forums and sign up and join in on the fun. There's always new places to go and vote and show your support to Chris.<br /><br /><blockquote>CMT Pure 12-Pack<br />http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/cmt_pur...n/series.jhtml<br />Click on the left hand side where it shows "Voting for (specific date listed)". Remember, if you only vote for "The Man I Want To Be" you won't be assisting any other videos in beating it! You can vote over and over -- as many times as you can!<br /><br />CMT Top 20 Countdown<br />http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/top_twe...n/series.jhtml<br />Click on the left hand side where it shows "Top 20 Countdown Viewers Poll". The poll is open from approximately 11am (Eastern) on Monday mornings through sometime late Saturday to late Sunday. (The close time seems to vary). You can vote as many times as you can, HOWEVER you can only pick one video on each "vote".

That first day he had a Black Dress party and he let the fans call out what they wanted to hear. He said this party was for them. Well, a few fans said they wanted him to sing the Cowboy song. Now I had never heard it before and Chris started saying how he was bored on the bus one day and wrote this song and then palyed one night. After singing the song he laughed and went, "I never should've written this song." But it's an awesome song and if you watch you will see why.<br /><br /><br /><OBJECT id=BLOG_video-f6844599dd008e0d class=BLOG_video_class width=320 height=266 contentId="f6844599dd008e0d"></OBJECT>Jessi Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11622136654238499602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230280669141321837.post-90369738058888768662009-11-22T16:45:00.000-08:002009-11-22T16:52:28.615-08:00GAC's Top 50 Videos of the YearDo you love Chris Young's video for Gettin' You Home?

This song almost didn't get cut as Chris said when it was brought to him, he almost didn't listen to it because he felt there were already too many ballads on the album. But as soon as he heard it he knew he had to cut it and made it the title of the cd. <br /><br /><em>God, I'm down here on my knees<br />Cause it's the last place left to fall<br />Beggin' for another chance <br />If there's any chance at all<br />That you might still be listenin'<br />Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me<br />I've spent my whole life gettin' it all wrong<br />And I sure could use your help cause from now on</em><br /><br />It's a very reflective song and one of my personal favorites. I really think this will be Chris' 2nd number one hit. He's already filmed the video for it and I'm sure it'll be just as amazing as 'Gettin' You Home.' So please go support Chris by requesting "The Man I Want To Be" at your local radio stations.Jessi Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11622136654238499602noreply@blogger.com0
