Bravo to Chris Cornell!

What a week! 1) Fabulous, respectful, and completely unique cover of "I Will Always Love You". 2) Fabulous, respectful, and completely unique cover of "I Will Always Love You" while performing at an Obama fundraiser. 3) Verbal smackdown in a crowded airport lounge to a bully in a business suit making homophobic comments. Thank you Chris!

• Love him. Love his version

• Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you, R1. Chris Cornell was in the bands Soundgarden and Audioslave. I had such a crush on him in high school.

• Saw him twice; with SoundGarden and solo. Hot dude; great singer.

• Soundwhat and Audiowho?

• Well, if he's headlining an Obama fundraiser, it's pretty unlikely that he's a nobody. In fact, he is one the most successful band frontmen of the last twenty years. He is nowhere near as broadly famous as, say, Katy Perry or Justin Bieber, but-- unlike those two-- has real music credibility and musical talent in spades. Still, the main point was that he rose to impressive heights as a decent human being this week. And his performance was brilliant.

• This could only be better if he: (4) Released photos of his beautiful naked body and HUGE cock. C'mon, Chris. If Warren Curruccilo or what's-his-cock from Duran Duran can do it, so can you.

• [R5] Never mind, dearie. They don't play those bands on the horrible Eurodisco/Doris Day station you listen to.

• I have seen him in person when I was a waiter at Il Cantinori and him and an bunch of artist came in after a Vanity Fair shoot. Boy is he breath taking. His eyes are piercing.

• Nice link, r9. Great pics, thanks.

• Overall, I think he's pretty cool. However, what he did to his ex-wife was really fucking douchey.

• r11=frau

• What DID he do to his ex?

• I still have a crush on Chris Cornell. R1? Who?

• That bitch ain't a part of me, no, that bitch ain't a part of me i said no...

• mane...lol

• Though R1 is long gone, it's cute how he thinks his post applies to CC when there's no question that it actually applies to him - now and always...unless he meets his end in some spectacular way.

• 'Never Far Away' is by far the most beautiful song of Chris Cornell. I'm not fond of Soundgarden, but Cornell is at least somehow promising and more mature as a solo artist.

• Who is Chris Cornell? I seriously don't know. An Idol contestant?

• :O

• I worked with him. He's gorgeous and humble. Oh, and his ex is a bitch. Had to deal with her and it was a nightmare.

• Here's his live acoustic cover of I Will Always Love You. I usually don't care for his voice, but this is pretty spectacular.

• r19, I would have to respectfully disagree. "Seasons" is his best, from the Singles soundtrack.

• What did he do to his ex?

• Naked
