I'm a fan because I love to watch American Idol for new and up coming Artist. I used to dream of being a singer myself years ago. I love the way Chris rearranges the music to suit him and to give it some pizzazz. I just am fixated on the natural virbrato that he has in his voice. I can tell he puts alot of heart into everything he sings and that is the way it is supposed to be. I have been singing for 30 years but cannot live my dream. I thank GOD he was chosen to be on American Idol. It is important to have a great support system in that business. Chris, I love your music and I just love the song "Crashed" that is how I feel about my husband. It is also my ringer on my cell phone. I love all your songs and can't wait for a new CD to come out. You are truly gifted. I write poetry and I know that a few of them are songs but I can never do what he does. I believe that Daughtry is going to be around for a long time. If I could, I would listen to his music 24/7but I'd never get any sleep.
