	It is telling that not only does Chris lack any sense of pitch in singing, but with melodies in general. This is evidenced in the [[The_24th_Wedding_Anniversary_Special#Part_1\|Wedding Anniversary Special]], where he claims to be playing the original theme to Sonic the Hedgehog but ends up with some wildly unrecognizable tune that only vaguely resembles the Sonic theme rhythmically. Chris sequenced the tune on a fairly simple piano roll, meaning his performance abilities are irrelevant. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that ''Chris is actually tone-deaf,'' instead of simply lacking in vocal skills.

	Some think it's a symptom of autism, as subtleties in tone and intonation indicating emotional and social cues are beyond his grasp, which in turn would affect recognition of pitch changes in music. However, something isn't right; in fact, autistic people are more likely to have perfect pitch than non-autistics<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/people-with-autism-can-hear-more-than-most-which-can-be-a-strength-and-a-challenge-a7715266.html</ref>, an ability shared with Mozart. So if plenty of fellow autistics have this otherwise rare musical gift, why did Chris end up with the opposite?		Some think it's a symptom of autism, as subtleties in tone and intonation indicating emotional and social cues are beyond his grasp, which in turn would affect recognition of pitch changes in music. However, something isn't right; in fact, autistic people are more likely to have {{w\|absolute pitch}} (known colloquially as perfect pitch) than non-autistics<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/people-with-autism-can-hear-more-than-most-which-can-be-a-strength-and-a-challenge-a7715266.html</ref>, an ability shared with Mozart.

	The [[autism papers]] provide a great clue; Chris lost some of his high-frequency hearing in early childhood.<ref>[[Autism_papers#SOCIAL_HISTORY:]]</ref> This could also explain why Chris seems to mix up different instruments; he was playing his [[Gitar of Fail]] in [[CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero\|Holding Out for a Hero]], but his frenetic fingerings more closely matched the piano and synth parts of the song, not the long guitar chords.

	[[Chris]] is a big fan of '''music'''; he listens to tracks from many genres and decades, though mostly pop and rock from the 1980s through the 2010s. At first glance, his eclectic taste in music is [[#Musical tastes\|not too unconventional]]. It's the ways he's presented his taste over the years that are pretty unconventional – most people understand that a [[Gitar of Fail\|''Guitar Hero'' controller]] is not a real instrument, but Chris isn't most people.

	Chris is also infamous for overestimating his singing ability and music recording methods, despite having trouble remembering the [[Rebel Girl\|lyrics]], [[Lovin' You\|melodies]], the [[#Chris and tone-deafness\|pitch]], and even [[CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero\|the instruments used]] in his favorite songs.

	Despite claiming to have a "deep bass voice"<ref>[[Jackie_E-mails#Chris_got_his_degree_for_Cwcville]]</ref>, Chris's voice is unusually high-pitched, and often louder than appropriate. He also tends to speak in an [[Autism\|odd, emotionless monotone]]. These issues with his voice become even more obvious when he tries to sing. In both his [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]] albums, as well as the only album from [[Robee Sonee and the Tomgirls]], he doesn't actually "sing" so much as desperately yell over the track in an attempt to drown out the actual words of the song (as he never bothers to look up karaoke/instrumental-only versions of anything he sings). This is painfully obvious when he attempts to sing "[[Sonichu Zip]]", a song that uses the Japanese theme song to the anime ''Sonic X'', "Sonic Drive". The fast tempo and lyrics of "Sonic Drive" result in Chris rapidly dissolving into screaming gibberish. When he does try to actually vary his voice away from the standard monotone, it becomes very obvious that Chris is almost completely tone-deaf; his [[Speech impediment\|voice]] fluctuates in pitch with little to no regard to the background music, or even the original artist he's shouting over. Occasionally he's [[SingStar Challenge Round 2\|barely managed]] [[I Got A Fish\|to carry a tune]], though. If Chris could sing at all, his voice type would be at best a {{w\|Tenor#Tenor buffo or Spieltenor\|spieltenor}} (used for [[Random-access humor\|comical]] roles) pushing towards {{w\|countertenor}}, a pitch range octaves above the bass range he claims to have, and a tessitura (note range) too high for many ''[[Gal-Pals\|women]]''.

	Chris also has a lot of trouble with tempo and entries. While the songs he's written usually manage to match the originals in terms of lyrical rhythms, Chris often pushes ahead or pulls back from the tempo of the song. This is sometimes done deliberately by singers and is called ''rubato'', but in Chris's case it is generally the result of messing up lyrics or having too many or few words for the rhythm ([[Chris and ~~Writing~~\|usually the former]]), and Chris's tenuous sense of pulse means that once he gets thrown offbeat he struggles (usually in vain) to recover. This could probably be avoided if he took the time to practice or revise, but since this entails work it is flatly out of the question. Also owing to this nonexistent practice ethic is Chris being completely terrible at remembering the actual words to the song he's singing. The only part he tends to know is the chorus of the song, likely because the repetition makes it the only part of the song he pays attention to. Between choruses, however, he often forgets the words and improvises lyrics, which invariably consist of mumbled incoherent nonsense.		Chris also has a lot of trouble with tempo and entries.

	In February 2018, Chris was approached by the music group Boi Spicy to do a feature for their album ''The Never-Ending Journey To Boi-Town, USA''. Instead of doing something original like they requested, he decided to use his trademark laziness and make them record "[[Love is Love (song)\|Love is Love]]". To further stoke his [[Chris and his ~~Ego~~\|ego]], he drew a cover for "Love is Love", intending it to be released as a single.

	Most of Chris's songwriting output has been him singing his original lyrics over copyrighted songs. He doesn't consider his songs to be [[parodies]], but rather serious compositions that [[Things Chris has ripped off\|happen to share]] tunes with popular songs. Writing a good parody also requires a good grasp on lyricism, which Chris doesn't really seem to have. If anything, Chris's music is {{w\|Plunderphonics\|plunderphonics}}, a controversial genre built around sampling and altering existing recordings.

	Chris's lyrics tend to be autobiographical. His [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys (album)\|2003 album]] showed insight into Chris's [[Virgin with rage\|loneliness]] and [[Psychology\|thought processes]]. He also included several Sonichu anthems on the album, and he attempted [[Spanish]] music with "[[La Cocina en La Casa de Casanova]]", not knowing that Casanova was Italian. The album was fairly eclectic in lyrical topics and musical feel, though most of the tunes were either pop songs taken from the late 1990s or were songs used in [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] media. Chris's [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys COMEBACK!\|second album]] took songs from even more genres, and included a lot of 1970s and 1980s music. However, his lyrical focus got narrower, and he wrote nearly all the songs about [[Ivy]]. His [[SPARKLE like you mean it: ROBEE'S BALLAD\|third and most recent attempt an an album]] follows a similar pattern to his second, taking songs from the 1980s and 1990s of various genres including pop rock, country, punk, and Hi-NRG. Notably, Chris does not make any major changes to the lyrical content of these songs, only changing words that could imply he was gay.		Chris's lyrics tend to be autobiographical.

	It is telling that not only does Chris lack any sense of pitch in singing, but with melodies in general. This is evidenced in the [[The_24th_Wedding_Anniversary_Special#Part_1\|Wedding Anniversary Special]], where he claims to be playing the original theme to Sonic the Hedgehog but ends up with some wildly unrecognizable tune that only vaguely resembles the Sonic theme rhythmically. Chris sequenced the tune on a fairly simple piano roll, meaning his performance abilities are irrelevant. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that ''Chris is actually tone-deaf,'' instead of simply lacking in vocal skills.

	Some think it's a symptom of autism, as subtleties in tone and intonation indicating emotional and social cues are beyond his grasp, which in turn would affect recognition of pitch changes in music.

	If his past downloads on Rhapsody (seen below) is any indication, almost everything Chris listens to has been in a ''Guitar Hero'', ''Rock Band'', or ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog\|Sonic]]'' game. This adds yet more [[Obesity\|weight]] to the theory that Chris is spoon-fed pop culture from [[PS3\|video games]] and ''[[Family Guy]]''.

This adds yet more [[Obesity\|weight]] to the theory that Chris is spoon-fed pop culture from [[PS3\|video games]] and ''[[Family Guy]]''.

	Also, keeping with the theme of liking things that most kids are [[The Adventures of The American Rabbit\|unaware]] [[Ghostbusters\|of]] or [[Red Skelton\|would]] [[I Love Lucy\|not]] [[Gilligan's Island\|enjoy]], Chris has twice referenced {{w\|Billy Joel}}'s upbeat 1985 track "{{w\|You're Only Human (Second Wind)}}", a dated but memorable reggae-pop song written specifically to stop teenagers from [[Ryan Cash\|killing themselves]]. To date, Chris has referenced the song in a [[Captain's Log, Stardate April 28th, 2009\|YouTube video]] where he says that [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS\|relieving yourself]] from [[stress]] isn't a big deal, and again when [[Mailbag 6\|asked]] by a fan whether he'd ever had thoughts of suicide. Chris replied, with utterly no elaboration at all, that he had "a lot to live for" and told said fan to go listen to the song.

	Chris has also expressed a fondness for {{w\|Insane Clown Posse}}, releasing [[Hello, Juffalo\|two]] [[JuggaloShoutOut\|videos]] in which he paints his face and talks about being a {{w\|Juggalo}}. Since fans of ICP tend to be stereotyped as [[slow-in-the-minds\|idiotic]], [[Chris and health\|out-of-shape]], [[Ruckersville, VA\|white-trash]] jerkasses who believe themselves to be outcasts of society, it is easy to understand why becoming a Juggalo would appeal to Chris.
