Chris Young Sees Seven States in Seven Days
Last weekend on the road was really a blur. I was in seven states in seven days and flew in to meet the bus after stops in Las Vegas, Portland, Ore., and Los Angeles. We had a great first show of the weekend in Kansas (even though I had zero phone service all day). After that, the guys and I had a show in Illinois opening for Rodney Atkins. The crowd was amazing and absolutely huge. I even wore an Illinois shirt onstage that I got as a gift before the show. To close things out, I had a show with Joe Nichols and Blake Shelton in Detroit. All in all it was a really busy, really great week. Can't wait for this weekend and my first shows on the Nothing Like This tour with Kellie Pickler and Rascal Flatts in Raleigh, N.C., Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta! Hopefully no hazing will happen the first weekend out -- but if it does you'll be the first to hear about it! OH ... and if you leave me questions/comments here this week, I'll do my best to answer them in next week's blog. See you out there ...

Angie says:
So…when are you gonna bust out the break dancing moves during one of your shows? And where did you learn to do that?
Vanessa says:
No question really, but I just wanted to say I thought you were great in Detroit last week. You’ve gained a lifelong fan!
Ok, I do have a question, do you think you’ll do anymore covers? I loved I’m Over You, Swinging, & Rainy Night in Georgia! I’d love it when awesome signers do amazing covers on their albums!
Aaron says:
Hi Chris, Huge fan, live in New Zealand.
Do u plan on touring over here/australia at all??
Also I found a clip of you when you were 16 singing a song I understand you wrote called “because of you” I was wondering if you had any intention of recording that?? Dont know why you had to go through Nashville Star they should have just watched that!!

Love hearing about all your adventures out on the road! So excited about the great things happening for you! Hope to see you while your opening for Rascal Flatts… Have fun out there! :)
Alicia says:
Hi Chris! Just wanted to wish you the best as you head out on tour with RF!! Have a blast! Can’t wait to see the show!
Stephanie says:
My shift ended in time for me to catch your performance in Raleigh tonight; fantastic job! Oh–and for the record..when I suggested shifting sides on the golf cart, I was obviously concerned about your safety above anything else. If my weight caused it to tip over, you might not have made it to your performance at all (let alone done as well as you did). Best of luck to you!
Amber says:
Hey Chris I can’t wait to see you in concert in NY you are amazing and I love your voice. I have been a fan since the minute i saw you on Nashville star! keep up the work. By the way my favorite song of yours is It takes a man. (love it)
Thanks for being a true superstar I love you!!!

Hi Chris! I do enjoy reading your blogs!
I do have a few questions for you!
Are you a fan of Lady Gaga?
I just wondering do you have an opinion about Nickleback getting airplay on CMT?
Would you someday do a whole album of your favorite cover songs and what songs would be on it?
Maybe soon I will see you again out there on the road!

I really love your voice and your songs sound good in the tanning bed…lmao…I can’t wait to listen to you on the opry and see you on July 28, I’m really hoping they have a M&G. I wanted to share this with you I made a comment to my husband about some stars won’t take their picture with their fans, but I said being a star, would you really want you face all over fb with other women, he said I agree so who’s the guy in my wifes pics on fb and of course it’s you. I hope your are enjoying every minute of the tour, it gotta be cool hangin with RF. So when you get to Evansville, IN Are you gonna have time for some b-ball? Do you get time to enjoy the fair?

Angelina Dean says:
Chris,
I was one of the female bouncers that they had a Cowboys Arlington back in the day when you were singing there and you would always sing…”Must be Doing Something Right”. You were such a fun person to be around then. I am so happy that you were able to become what you have always dreamed of. I knew that you would do great and so proud of you. Look forward to getting to see you when you come to town again. I am so glad that you are on tour with Rascal Flatts. They are one of my favorites and now I will get to see you both this year at the same time. Best wishes with all that you do in your life. You are an amazing person.
Jessica says:
So I saw you May 13th in New Hampshire, actually got to meet you :) I hope you got whatever you had in your eye out and I can’t wait to see you again in Maine! which is where i’m from :) Are you going to be signing autographs again? I’ll be there with my crazy Gram again that was the second time she met you she had the Alan Jackson tattoo on her shoulder. See you in Sept :D

Well hope your tour goes well and the best wishes with all that you do in your life. Hope to hear from you and see you in Palm Beach, Florida soon!

Thank you so much for the personal concert you did to raise money for the Los Angeles Mission on June 15th. It was great!!! Really enjoyed meeting you, thanks for the photos, I look forward to seeing you again in Lake Tahoe with Rascal Flatts in July. I hope I can get a meet and greet with you before the show for my daughter and I, she would love that.

Sharon says:
We just saw you perform at the DeSoto Co Civic Center in Ms. It was the perfect way for my husband and me to celebrate our anniversary: I was able to see you in concert and my husband was able to see Eric Church. Not surprising for me, my husband thought you were great. You now have another new fan. Thanks for a great evening. May God bless all you do!
