I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...watching Daughtry come to life throughout AI was such an awesome experience. From his first song to his last you knew this guy was bigger than an AI. Voting for him, supporting him, cheering for him, all made me feel like a part of making Daughtry happen. To watch him pop up from no where, be so talented, sing amazingly each week and become an instant star made me feel like I knew him. He made a real connection with his fans and we got to see his humbleness and uncertainty at times while jumping up and down on our couch screaming....he's the next AI. I just love him !
