man this article had a *lot* of problems, and I'm pretty sure there are more. If there's anyone out there who is less of a wiki newbie than I who could give me a hand with tags and referencing, that would be great. Should the cleanup req'd tag be removed? DaveyE 20:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

• Think you've done a good job, it's a lot better than it was before. Cleanup tag should and has been removed. JaymzSpyhunter 01:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)is 31 years old.

[edit] Taken over by emotion

This article seems to have been taken over by teenage angst and emotion. How could he have been given a forgotten guitar? It's likely that a forgotten guitar would not ever be remembered enough to be given to anybody or ever really been played. For instance, if I've forgotten my keys somewhere, it would be very unlikely that I'd be able to drive my car.

Music became 'second place' in his life? What exactly is first place? Crying? Wallowing in teenage pity? Being mad at mom and dad?

I understood it like this: Carrabba received a guitar at age 15, he had it somewhere, forgot about it for a while and on one nice day he decided that he should be doing something useful with it. -Mardus 23:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] married

Can we clear up whether he is married or not? If it is unsourced, it only belongs in the article saying that it is unsourced. I took a look at the history, it appears as though someone changed some of the things like "Chris Carraba is of half Italian decent" to "Chris Carrabba is married to..." This looks to me like vandalism, but whatever. Can someone check, and if it is unsourced, change it back to what it used to be? The opening sentence in the second paragraph doesn't fit with the rest of the paragraph, that needs to be changed anyway. --Sbrools ^{(talk . contribs)} 04:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

• Even in their own website, Chris never really made a comment on that issue.He seem to want to keep his private life private.He doesn't even want to give a straight answer about him being commited or not.

[edit] Pronoun Usage

Wikipedians, I would expect you write articles that use pronouns that don't confuse readers.

For example, how do you like this line:

Jack and Mike went fishing, and he caught a fish.

Which person is the 'he' referring to??

That line is what I thought of when I read this on the Chris Carrabba article:

He [Chris Carrabba] performed "Stolen" and "Vindicated" live on air. Kidd made a comment about him not appearing to be hardcore because of all his tattoos, he said "Well, get to know me."

[edit] Eye Sexing?

Can someone please check to see if the part on eye sexing is vandalism? I couldn't find anything else that said that Chris Carraba has "eye sex" with the audience, and that really sounds like a bad joke that someone came up with when they were bored. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.168.152.68 (talk) 20:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I read on Chris's blog that everytime he performs, he actually looks at one person in particular and try to maintain eye contact with that person, its his way of staying connected to his audience. But he never mentioned anything about eye sex.

[edit] Let's not pick and choose...

Who keeps deleting my line about Chris Carrabba making the Blender worst 40 lyricists list? I mean, come on. He really is awful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewabaird (talk • contribs) 01:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

That's your opinion. And some of us don't share your sentiments. --::semper fidelis:: 12:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fleurbutterfly (talk • contribs)

[edit] Is it true that he's just 5'5"?

Are you guys sure about this? I mean come on he doesn't look like one.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.133.195.70 (talk) 07:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Shade of Poison Trees

When the single Thick as Thieves was leaked to the internet, alot of talk has been circulating that the song is about his favorite ice cream... Which is ofcourse hillarious. And alot of DC fans has been raving about the smashed apple logo of the album. Fleurbutterfly 20:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
