It is fair to say that life for Chris would be very different if it wasn't for AI. It is also fair to say that they want us to know that they discovered him. I can understand why! Chris and the band are way beyond STARS and that makes AI look very good. SInce I am still a fan of AI, I am glad that they continue to feature Daughtry's music.....it feeds the addiction!!!! (This message is in no way saying that Chris wouldn't be a hit without AI - just that it probably would have taken longer and been more of a struggle. I have faith that he would have made it!!!)

It seems to amaze me that Daughtry is constantly brought up on Idol. Not only his songs, but I picked up a recent gossip magazine and there was a picture of one of the current contestants and the title was something to the effect of "is this the next Daughtry." It just seems crazy to me....

Too bad it was so short...I still want more!

Destined for Daughtry

To hear that on AI. But Chris has come so far since then and is SOOOO much better than any of those wanna be's.... Please Chris, come back to Kentucky! and play in a bigger venue!

I am so disappointed that I missed it. Does anyone know if it is available for viewing?

I saw it and loved every second!! Awesome song and definitely the highlight of the show that night! You guys ROCK!!!

Chris that was awesome, you've come so far since American Idol, and you've been so very successful. I think it's awesome that Idol is using your music on the show. you rocked Idol, and you've truely enspired rockers everywhere out there who want to pursue rock music in our music industry. Chris, you definatley proved that even without winning Idol, you still can be a success. I am and will always be a true DAUGHTRY fan. I'll keep attending your concerts and suporting you man, both in our music industry and on VH1's top 20, well that's part of our music industry also. Chris you've become what we call in our music industry, a POWERHOUSE. Don't ever forget that, and I love you so much Chris, You have no idea. Keep doing what you do Chris, music is a wonderful industry to be in. I should know because I've been pursuing music for almost 20 years. I've got the same passion you have buddy. also Chris, I truely think and feel that American Idol looks up to you now as an artist, they speak your name every now and then, I've noticed. You've also enspired them, Chris. One other thing, you also could not have asked for a better band, their the best 4 guys you could of got. BEST WISHES and I'll see you soon, looking forward to it.

So glad to see Ryan giving you well deserved praise for all your outstanding success and seeing a glimpse of your newest and HOTTEST video...

I have not been interested in watching AI (for any talent) since you left...but have it on..ONLY TO hear or see you mentioned....

You are inspiring a lot of "rockers" to audition,,and hopefully get noticed, or win..

BUT THERE WILL BE NONE ..............LIKE YOU....

THE BEST ROCKER HAS CAME AND GONE FROM THAT SHOW...

AND NOW HAS A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL...MULTI..PLATINUM.......ROCK BAND..

Love your music....Love the band....

I was not expecting to see it.
Good luck to the young man who was inspired by Chris!!!!!!!!!!!
In fact...good luck to all of the good talent. I think there are some who have a chance to make it.

What an awesome surprise! I just sat there and stared at the TV lol.....Never expected that!!!

Know what? That kid who auditioned said he watched Chris' audition again.....so I guess Chris inspired him, and he had a pretty darn good voice...Wouldn't that be cool if he gets on, and he chooses Daughtry songs!!!!! I would SO love it!!!

Karen

DAUGHTRY is there I am there!!

It was so great to see Chris and the band on AI last night. I get so excited everytime I see him on tv. Now don't forget to vote for the new video on VH1 top 20!!! Here's the link:

http://www.vh1.com/shows/series/top_20_countdown/vote.jhtml

Let's make it #1 this week and every week!

I had no idea that the band was going to be featured last night. I had the tv on but was not really paying all that much attention. The audition process with all the idiots who dont take the show seriously really gets to me. But I still watch anyway just for the few talented people that are on in between. I screamed like a teenager when I heard FEELS LIKE TONIGHT .My kids think Im crazy because any time Daughtry is on tv I act like a crazy person. So needless to say I do still watch AI . I enjoy it much more once hollywood week is over. I know alot of Daughtry fans stopped watching after Chris was voted off but without that show we probably wouldnt be listening to Daughtry today. So, how can you hate a show that let us get to see how truly talented Chris was and still is. I think him getting voted of was sad, I cried, I really did .But it all turned out great. He has had more success than most of the shows winners. I have not enjoyed it nearly as much since that season and I don't think the talent is as good as it used to be...but for some reason I just keep watching.

I didn't read about it before, but I did catch them on AI last night. I was pleasantly surprised! AI may have had a down year last year, but if it wasn't for that show we wouldn't have our DAUGHTRY like we do. So I'm thankful for the show!! So far I've been happy with the show this season. There has been alot more emphasis on the people with potential talent instead of just the goof-off's.

GO DAUGHTRY!!!!

LoL! I read this after I saw the show... obviously if Im writing this now.. But It was awesome to see some props being given to you guys! Congrats, and hopefully we will see more more DAUGHTRY acknowledgement on Idol!!!

I'd Rather Be at a Daughtry concert! The one with the /\ /\ ears LoL

When that came on last night!
And even my husband did too!!!
(We were about to leave the room for a minute when that came on).
I was so surprised & excited to see that!
Oh how idol will NEVER be the same.
(Sigh).
But hey, we have DAUGHTRY forever baby!!!!
And I couldn't be any more proud of them!

--
There And Back Again for DAUGHTRY from CT. 14 times (and counting)!

and I must say that I can't even begin to express how proud I am of our guys! That little piece on Idol last night was great! Chris is "one of the biggest success stories in Idol history!" Best part of the show!

It was great! I didn't like the guy who wanted to be Chris tho.
