I am a fan (and you should be too), because...
Chris is simply AMAZING! I was never a big fan of American Idol. I watched a few episodes at the end of the season that Carrie Underwood won and decided that it was a neat contest after all but I was still not an avid viewer. However, that all changed one day when flipping channels on the TV. I came across a gorgeous man singing with a voice so profound that my finger stopped in mid-air before I could click the button again. I was literally awe struck! This man could sing like no one else I'd ever heard! Now, i have to admit if he'd been an ugly man he may not have held such a power over me. But his looks, combined with his voice, created such a charisma that i had no choice but to remain enthralled. To my absolute horror, I was once again watching American idol! From that point on i was a crazed viewer who had no choice but to vote. I thought that maybe I would lose interest after a while. (i have a habit of doing that) I was wrong. Chris never ceased to amaze me. I was so afraid that, knowing my luck, he'd be voted off and I'd never be able to hear him sing again. So i began recording his performances so that i would always have them to play back. As the weeks went on I was no longer fearful for Chris. He simply was the best. End of story. Then the world failed me and Chris was in fact voted off. Yet i knew that he was so good he simply HAD to make an album.
Daughtry was formed, their album came out, and the world began turning again. I had Chris's voice back. Daughtry's album is amazing. Chris obviously made excellent choices in choosing his band and now I love them too of course. Usually if buy a CD I'll end up skipping over half the songs when I play it. Not true with Daughtry. I love every song. A few of them spoke to me so clearly that you would have sworn they were written for me. (Although i accept the fact that they were not) I haven't taken Daughtry out of my CD player since i bought it. I think I've become obsessed! I am an official "fan" on a website, something I never once came close to being compelled to do before. I tried for tickets to see my guys as soon as they went on sale. but they are so fabulous that none were available. Honestly, there were tears. No, i wasn't bawling but, I guess you could say that I'm not good with disappointment. (so, its good thing some tickets had been reserved for members of this site) My best friend and i have a saying and well... I think i would "pee myself" if i ever had an opportunity to meet chris and the band. In fact the thought is terrifying--in a good sort of way. No matter what I'll keep telling the world of my obsession with Daughtry because they... well... ROCK! Come to think of it though, everyone in my life already knows how great Daughtry is because I can't shut-up about them! Hmm, well guess I'll have to start telling strangers...
