Default I Just Sold All Of My Chris Richardson Stock And I\'ll Tell You Why

America is stupid. Of course the red states are going to vote for the guy with the big goatee. Sundance is pretty bad. Chris Sligh wasn't good at all and look at his price. I just don't understand why people vote for certain people.

Simon says Chris Richardson "was the best by a mile" and everyone just ignores that. The price hardly went up. Yeah so I had to sell the stock because it's too much of a risk depending on people to be rational. Addtionally the big pockets on this site who will remain nameless keep purchasing massive amounts of the other singers to keep the price down on Richardson. I'm just glad I sold at a break even amount. My prediction is that after the girls sing tommorrow I would have had to sell at a losing price. My pockets aren't deep enough to take that risk.

Are you worried that he is going home this week?

I really wish the dial idol numbers were stronger for him. That would have really boosted his price. I thought he had built a fan base last week but Sundance Sally ruined all for me. I find his performance disqusting.

I have learned my lesson on AI betting. The vig is way too high. It's plus EV to play poker with 100 percent rakeback then betting on this crap. Unless you have 2000 dollars to invest in it.

I didn't sell my Richardson, but his DI numbers have really tanked.

He's one of the best male singers but he has a few problems, which were evident last night.

A big problem is that he is competing most directly with Blake. They have similar styles and fan bases. But Blake has a lot more charisma, he moves better, and seems to be more versatile.

Chris got the votes in week one, but he did a nearly identical act in week two. It was hardly memorable this time, and I question if he is capable of doing any other type of music or really connecting with the audience.

If he survives this week, he needs to come out fighting next week, and get his red faced father back in the audience.

As I said after his first performance, Richardson just looks like a giant dork on stage. The only reason he keeps getting positive feedback and looking good is because so far he's sung up beat songs after a string of horribly boring songs and has just looked good by comparison thanks to good timing and good song selection.

This guy really does suck and when he has to start singing harder, slower songs his true suckitude will shine through brightly. You'll all be asking yourselves how you ever thought he had a shot in hell to begin with. Mark my words.

I do believe what you're saying to be true, and I think that his only upside is already captured by Blake. Blake has a bigger following and can sing better than Richardson (specifically the slower songs). With a similar fan base, Richardson will be among the first to go once these weak guys are out (dare I say he could go before Sanjaya?).

For these reasons, I sold him off while he's still worth something.
