On The Sligh

I've been enjoying the latest edition of American Idol, though during the massive cuts made in Hollywood, they've removed a lot of my favorite contestants.

But one guy who's made it so far, to my surprise, is Chris Sligh. Pudgy, with weird, curly hair, he doesn't seem the Idol type. (He doesn't seem any type.) But he has a decent voice and, unlike any previous contestant I can recall, is genuinely funny.

Could someone who looks like him become a star? Sure, it already happened to Turtles' lead singer Mark Volman.
