Thanx and i can hardly expect your new album...; when?

I just found this and watched it. I haven't seen much of Chris lately and this video just brought home how much I love his voice and the band just gets better and better. I am so looking forward to the new CD. He is magic.

First -time Voters

Fri, 10/24/2008 - 10:16pm — RJ Smith

I work the early voting polls in Florida. There have been a lot of first-time voters coming in. Of course, there are a lot of people urging people to vote for the first time. However, I have asked a lot of teenagers, especially, if Chris Daughtry was the force to get them to vote for the first time. Well, Chris, you should have seen some of the faces lighting up at the mention of your name and their saying that you were the reason they voted for the first time. Some said they needed to go home and listen to your music. You DO influence America! Way to go.

WOOT WOOT! I LOVE this version of this song. Chris did a great job with the vocals...it's pretty difficult to hang with Lou Gramm on this one, but our boy came thru with flying colors!

WTG DAUGHTRY!!!!

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 8:08pm — deanna g

I can't wait for the album re-release in September so we can request "Feels Like the First Time" on the radio! I think it would be a great cover to hear again on the airwaves! Please do it! Even Mick Jones from Foreigner loves your version!

Oh and kudos for being a part of League of First Time Voters! Way to get the word out to people that it is our civic duty!

So proud to support a wonderful group of talented guys!

Daughtry never fails!!!

Everything they do is Magical !!!

I have always loved this song, but hearing Chris sing it makes it even better... Love the Video, and hope it plays more on TV! I just wish they would have played it on the tour @ Konocti!! It would have made the concert even better!!! Can't wait for the New CD!!

You guys Rock!!!!!! Can't wait til you come back to Northern CA!!

Fantastic!!
