I am a fan because...the music that Chris writes and performs is real life and from experience. You don't find too many people, especially in this day and age, who are "REAL" and I believe he is the REAL DEAL. Not only is his talent unique but on a whole different level. I truly believe this, right now, is just the tip of the iceberg for Daughtry. He will be blessed because he truly deserves to be blessed. Personally speaking, after watching his on the road video, the fact that he showed the picture of his family say's a lot about his character, I wish there were more performers out there like Chris by keeping it real.
