Rock On! Chrisluvr
Loved SM
I'm hoping Daughtry will release SM as a single at some point. Than we could enjoy the whole song over and over. I thought it was amazing-better than the original!

Sad thing
Daughtry was the best tribute on the entire show! It's sad they didn't show the entire performance b/c everyone knows they did WAY better then most of the other performers!
Agree with jusmith73
They played everyone else's entire songs.

Loved the entire show!!!
Great show and incredible that you guys were a part of it!!! I loved how you changed up the song and made it your own! I love that song.........one of my favorites for sure!!! Just wish we could have heard you sing the entire song!! Your voice just melts my heart!!! Plus we got to hear some of Joey in the background which is always very nice!! Congrats to you guys! More and more people are getting to see you and more importantly hear you and that can only be good for you all!!
And I do have to say that Celine ended the show with perfection! I know that she isn't a Rock artist, but you can't deny that voice of hers! Wow!!!

DAUGHTRY IS MY ELVIS
Chris sang wonderful as usual . I really enjoyed the whole special tribute to Elvis but i must admit seeing Chris and the guys was my favorite . My mom ( the biggest Elvis lover ever ) thought he did a really good job , believe me that is more than a high compliment there. Keep up what you do guys, you ROCK !!!!!

LOVIN' DAUGHTRY IN COLUMBUS,OHIO
Best Performance on the Show!
Daughtry was awesome as usual. Loved their version - very cool. Blows Elvis away. Wish we could have seen the WHOLE song though! Seemed they really chopped it to a shorter segment. Bummer. (Either that or the time just flew too fast). Best performance of the night. Loved it! The guitar work was amazing and Chris' voice was hot as always!
Elvis special
I thought Daughtrys rendition of suspicious minds was great!Im a huge elvis fan, but also a huge Dautry fan,ever since his first appearance on AI.I too dont understand why they didnt play the whole song.He was better than the others, especially Celine Dion:( Your the best Chris,keep it going!!!

Well.......
Daughtry and the boys always seems to get the short end of the stick!! They either cut them off or don't show it all!! But he did it so good and I heard Joey in the background that sounded great too. They always do everything with no upsets! This band rocks and they have accomplished more than any band I know!! Great job guys!!

Rocked Out Daughtry Style on 8-4-2007!
agree with jusmith17!
Yes, it is beyond me why they didn't show the whole song, but showed most others...Chris Isaak and Faith Hill sang TWICE! Hello?!? Anyway, Chris and they boys were great, as always! No shocker there! Their rendition of Suspicious Minds sounded awesome!

Peace, love and DAUGHTRY!

My two favorite things...
Daughtry & Elvis. I am a huge Elvis fan (a little odd for a 29 year old) and like the rest of us, Daughtry Obsessed.
So for me this show was all I could ask for (except a lil more of Daughtry's preformance)
Chris' vocals were amazing (as always) He nailed it and rocked it in away that suspicious minds has never been done.
We diehards have heard Chris sing that song before but hearing Daughtry do that song was a totally different experience. I loved it.
Chris spoke of how Elvis commanded the stage when he preformed. Does Chris know he does the very same thing. Thats a true preformer!
Ooooh
Love the aol viedo clip, thanks for posting the link.
THE BEST
Why they cut his song short I'll never know. Even so Daughtry out shined the other performers.
CHRIS ON ELVIS
HE SOUNDED GREAT WHAT WE HEARD OF HIM. WHY IS IT THAT THEY BARELY SHOWED HIM SINGING AND SHOWED ALL OF THE OTHERS WHO WERE ON THE WHOLE FREAKING SONGS??? ANYONE ELSE AGREE WITH ME???
Amazing
LOVED IT

Daughtry Did Elvis Proud
Chris and the guys rocked it again. Really enjoyed the performance. Wished it was longer but I will watch it over and over with all of the other Daughtry performances I have on tape.
Hope the guys enjoy their trip overseas. Now they're even taking their music around the world for everyone to enjoy. I'm sure the Daughtry fan club will grow even more. How could it not?
I know I'm Lovin' DAUGHTRY!!

Rock On! -Lisa W
Why would you...
Could someone explain to me why there are 848 fans online but only 87 are registered? Why would not want everyone to know you are a fan?
Hooked another one...
One of the ladies I work with is a HUGE Elvis fan so I asked her if she watched the special last night... before I could say anything else, she started going on about how great the guys that performed "Suspicious Minds" were. We are growing in multitude with every passing day! Daughtry fans unite!
IT WAS AWESOME
AS ALWAYS, DAUGHTRY WAS AWESOME IN THEIR RENDITION OF "SUSPICIOUS MINDS". IT BROUGHT BACK LOTS OF MEMORIES OF ELVIS WHO OFTEN, AS DOES DAUGHTRY, FROM TIME TO TIME CHANGE A SONG TO FIT THE OCCASION. DAUGHTRY LIVED UP TO THEIR SHINING STARDOM AND BLEW ME AWAY.
DAUGHTRY ROCKS! DAUGHTRY NOW AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!
I SAW IT!!!
AND THE GUYS DID AWESOME AS ALWAYS!!!THEY SOUNDED GREAT AND LOOKED GREAT!!!

Chris and Josh slayed it...
Chris sounded incredible making "Suspicious Minds" his own and so fresh and I'll tell you what...Josh was awesome on guitar!!! I was so impressed! Good job boys, once again!
Simply Awesome!
I saw it last night, and I agree, it was much too short. I loved Josh's riff...way cool...Will anyone post it somewhere? Puhleasssssssssse?
Bridging Generation Gap
My parents have never really liked the music i listen to. They also find it strange that at 35, i am a member of a fan website and have traveled several hrs 3X to see Daughtry. But my parents are HUGE Elvis fans, so we were all tuned into the show. When they heard Daughtry perform one of their favorites, they finally understood the obsession
Daughtry on the Pedestal
Daughtry mentioned that fans tend to put musicans on a pedistal which is difficult at times. My husband buzzed a pillow at me and said, "That's You!"....how could you not put Daughtry on a pedistal. I loved Daughtry's respect for the King. They did a great job representing the main man and sang Suspicious Minds beautifully.
"Love What You Do!"

ok -- I was a little disappointed that ABC didn't play the whole song, because it was AWESOME (I was there); but that voice!!!! Just makes me keep coming back for more!
Next show -- Mixfest in Boston!! LOVE, LOVE!
Good Job - Guys!
I watched this just to see Daughtry. As usual it was great!

Love yall!!! Carol in Little Rock

Daughtry Fan 4 Life
Elvis and Las Vegas
Pretty interesting, I was never a big Elvis fan but of course everyone knows who he is, the title of king says it all. The show was entertaining and educational for me, enjoyed watching all the artists peform his songs. Elvis was way ahead of his time with all the bling, entourage, and guy liner.
Daughtry rocked as usual!!! Yes it was short but sweet.
.
Oh noooo.....
my sister deleted the program cause she thought my mom was recording it so i ddin't get to see the guys' perform or any of the show for that matter! AHHHHH I hope someone posts it on youtube so I can watch it! Glad to hear that they sounded amazing but HELLO we are talking about Daughtry here! LOL

VIVA LAS VEGAS

Wish it had been longer. Can't get enough of Daughtry
CHEERS! JellyBean
Viva La Daughtry
Glad to see Daughtry had three sound bytes on the Elvis special tonight. I just wish they would have shown the WHOLE performance of Suspicious MInds. Of course Daughtry was the BEST!, but sadly cut short
AWESOME job guys!!!
I absolutely LOVED it!!!! GREAT JOB!!

All I can say is Wow,
Chris can sing any song and make it good......I think Chris is "todays Elvis",but grounded and he seems to know who he is and what he wants ,just by what he said in the interview. He just has that quality and I'm so glad he was part of the tribute,he kind of reminds me of Elvis,if he had his dark hair ,wow.But I do think he's hot the way he is now. The band was great too, as always ,too short,but Chris is the new man on the block.That smile....
I heard there was a DVD for sale ..
Well they should be on their way over seas....What a thrill for them..and for the people in Singapore and Australia...
Great Job Boyz!!
Wow!! I thought Daughtry did a wonderful job with Suspicious Minds!! It was so beautiful and passionate and I would love to see the whole thing b/c the little bit I did catch of it was outstanding....I wish I could have seen their whole performance but unforantely my stupid recorder failed to do its job, darn!! I was mad but I did catch some of it so it's better than none I would presume.
I love what Chris had to say throughout. He's so respectful and kind and that's another reason we love him so!! Wish they could have done more!!
