Under Little Chris
I don’t know about you, but when I first heard Lil Chris’ song ‘Checking it out’, I thought it sounded extremely indie. I was kind of expecting his music to be a lot more emo and more heavy, but after listening to Checking it out, I realised he actually has quite an indie sound to his voice.
At the beginning of his Checking it out song, his voice sounds far from emo. It’s only when the chorus begins that the song gets slightly more emo. He even has the little indie high-pitched squeaks in his song like other indie artists do. In my opinion, I really liked it, but whether that is because I’m a fan of indie music or not, I don’t know.
Also, listening to his song “Getting Enough”, I personally think it’s far from emo. His first verse again I think is really indie, and even his chorus.
Perhaps in the future, Lil Chris may start doing more indie music? What do you think?
I’d also quite like to know what fans of emo and rock music think of Lil Chris’ song Checking it out, whether they also liked it or perhaps were disappointed that the song was not more emo like it was made out to be.

As many of you know, the famous website of www.myspace.com is a great way of promoting less-known artists as well as providing information about each artist and a jukebox, allowing you to listen to some of the artists music.
Lil Chris is no stranger to this, having his own Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/lilemochris . I can imagine that Lil Chris was once not as popular as he is now on Myspace, with around 2000 fans and 5000 profile views, which really isn’t a lot. However, once Rock School came to Channel 4, the fans went up to 55,530 and are still increasing. Personally, I think that Lil Chris having a Myspace, which he regularly goes on, is a great idea. He keeps in touch with his fans by posting blogs letting them know about the life of Lil Chris and he made the whole profile page himself which must of taken him a lot of time. It also makes Lil Chris seem more like a person, rather than a celebrity, with the game Pacman on his profile and spelling mistakes all over his blogs, it reminds his fans that he is just a normal person, like they are.
There are many fakes on Myspace of Lil Chris, but this is the real thing - and he has a picture to prove it! A posing Lil Chris wearing a t-shirt clearly stating his Myspace URL shows that this is no fake, and I think that was really smart of him.
So, what do you think of Lil Chris’ Myspace? Is it a good idea? Or is it a bit to normal for someone as well known as Chris?
