Glad to see that bands like you are using their fame to help others. Watching you on American Idol got me to the point of crying. It's devastating to see what people over there are going through. People just like us..but born in to poverty, or other terrible situations. Puts a smile on my face knowing that because of American Idol Gives Back, much money will be raised to go to these families. Love the song "What About Now". It is so beautiful. Love hearing it live!

I watched the Idol Gives back here in the UK last night and was so moved by the support given by all the celebs who took part. THink the show was edited down but to see the guys making the children smile....especially loved the acoustic version of "What about now" it's always been my favourite! It's has inspired me to give back myself, and have decided to do my part to raise money for a worthy cause.

I urge everyone who reads this to do the same. xxxx

I always knew you had a big heart, You did an amazing job. Just watching the clip was hard for me, those kids are precious. , I can't imagine what you guys faced,
May God Bless You & all the other performers.What a great job.
what about now means something totally diffrent to me since day one, that was my 3rd favorite, its exactly how I feel everyday ,
after hearing you sing it to those kids, it now means, I have alot to be greatful for.
Thanks again for being you
PS
Did I ever tell you, how proud ,I am to be a Daughtry Fan

LOVED your video on IDOL GIVES BACK. Those children and families and their living conditions there in Africa...were just heart breaking..In the small amout of time you guys had to spend there, you all brought smiles, laughter, songs and hope to those in dire need of our support and attention. I loved your acoustic song of What About Now..which was so fitting for the message and your voice was AMAZING singing it.. I have donated to the ONE charity and I know my donation will help..altho..in a small way...but added to others..will be HUGE. EVERY MEMBER of DAUGHTRY is a wonderful human being and very charitable to the less fortunate. I love your CD and rock out to it all the time...I am looking forward to your next CD..hopefully a "little harder",,Again I want to say..........You guys are Amazing!!! Rock On!!!! and God Bless all your hearts!!!!

It's hard to believe that in just America alone, we were able to raise over 60 million dollars for these causes. I am not rich, but we manage and being a school nurse in a low-income district, I see the poverty. Although I sometimes don't understand why our children in American shouldn't come first, I am greatful that everyone came together and donated.

Seeing Daughtry on American Idol was so incredibly moving!!! It brought tears to my eyes to see you guys surrounded by all those children.. holding hands and singing! God Bless you... you are making a HUGE difference in their lives!! Thanks for inspiring the rest of us!!

I loved the Daughtry spot on AI last night!!! It was so inspiring to see Chris, Joey and Josh in Uganda with the children. And how cool was it to get introduced by Brad Pitt! They def saved the best for last! =]

First i love the show last night. But plain and simple you have inspired me to give. And if that mean not getting tickets that is ok.

just know the money will go to places that need it.

Last night just reminded me even more of all the sad issues we have going on in this world! And it does inspire you to want to do more in this world. The whole show was phenomenal!!! I watched every bit of it with tears running down my face.

But watching the guys interact with these children and singing with them was too beautiful! DAUGHTRY has truly been a blessing in our lives and theirs! Such generous loving hearts I will be a fan always!

LOVE you guys!!!

Take care and GOD BLESS

Before the show I posted that the show would be boring but looking forward to seeing Daughtry would make it worth the watch. Sorry AI! It was a very well produced show~~ funny, touching, some good performances. (& something that bored me, someone else may have enjoyed! Something for everyone)

ANYWHO: The best segment was DAUGHTRY'S of course and I'm sure enjoyed by all!!

how perfect that "What About Now" was so fitting!
You guys did a beautiful & touching job with that.
Thanks for your visit to Uganda, Chris, Joey and Josh, and for supporting great causes like ONE, etc.!
I always knew you'd give back, guys.
Looks like you had an undescribable & eye-opening experience while there.
Making a donation last night felt great.
We are so blessed in this Country it's sick.
I will never want MORE and BIGGER and BETTER ever again, I swear!
I can't wait to hear how much money has been raised so far!
Thanks again for being great role models.... to God be the Glory!
With Much Respect,

"There And Back Again" for Daughtry from CT. 13 times (and counting).
15 if you count the idols shows!

I tell my husband of how much it means to me to touch the lives of children every day as a teacher of the visually impaired, and how seeing that when even the smallest changes happen, a community is stronger, and also our own lives become full of meaning. When I find myself focusing too heavily on the difficulties that our own family faces, the raising of our children, the financial and health decisions we make, the ability to stay focused on our happiness, then life seems harder. When our focus becomes the wellbeing of others, life gives back tenfold. The entire 'Give Back' event draws upon our desire to reach beyond our own struggles so that we may benefit in ways we may never fully understand. Like Rhonda Byrne's discovery of The Secret...Let's be grateful that there are those people out there (like Daughtry) who can recognize and bring their own successes to greater meaning through the service and support of humanity on such a large scale, but remember that every single effort makes a difference no matter how small. I'm so proud of Ya'll!

Thank you guuys for that wonderful video and for showing the world the heart of gold you all have:-) It was such a beautiful and touching video, watching the guys with those kids and the kids singing along to What About Now...so sweet I had tears in my eyes!! you guys are AMAZING!!! I hope that the show brought in alot of donations for all those poor people suffering!! Great job guys like always, God Bless you for all that you do for your fans, and the world:-)

Life Without Daughtry Has No Meaning!!!

I wrote at least a year ago, that DAUGHTRY would change the world.............in many ways, from the music, to how you are with your families and in your relationships, and how important they are to you, to the music, to your heart felt inspriations which we are now seeing with ONE. I was brought to tears as Joey reached for the person in bed, & you & Chris helped them up. We can only imagine the abject poverty some people feel everyday. Thank you for showing you care. I am sure you have geen GREATLY touched by your trip to Uganda.

Thank you Daughtry for showing the world NOW, instead of 5 or 10 years down the road, that we can as indiviuals make a difference. You all know the power of a fanbase too, and we are behind you 300% although I bet that never entered your minds. You are all the most gracious, grateful guys I've ever ever met and take nothing for granted. Thank you for making a difference in our world.
love you all.

I am writing this to let you know that I am I diehard Daughtry fan. I am slowly becoming the person I have always been inside. I have always wanted to be a giving person but life has gotten in the way. As it does with everyone between Clinton’s book the GIVING and a in 20/20 talking about Camden NJ and being inspired by DAUGHTRY to give.
When you really stop think how much I have alone spent going to 7 Daughtry shows it at least a couple of thousand. I have been completely satisfied with the shows.

Those Dollars could have done some where else. I know it would not cure a diease or pull a country out of poverty but it would have help. I feel that this is the new life's journey that I have to lead to set a good example for my children. So every time I feel the urge to get a DAUGHTRY fix I promise to donate money to a good cause. So I am not given up on Daughtry I believe that money can go to a good cause

I am so blessed to be able to have the capability and to know that I am very thankful to GOD for providing for us as a family.

I am so proud of Daughtry and what have done.and not taken it for granted and giving back to great causes and to their fans.
we are thankful for the blessing of their music.
daughtry also
knows that they are blessed.

thank you
Jodi

The kids & I sat & watched the show! My son & I are HUGE fans ...he was so impatient & looked at me @ 9:55 and said they aren't coming on mom... I said YES THEY ARE..Wait we got 5 mins. They yall were! The best of the night. i held my scream back for the best song of the album and my tears so my son wouldn't think i was a sap for crying at the TV. AMAZING absolute AMAZING. My son had a huge grin on his face that lighted up the dark living room. Thank you for that!

To see the grins on those kids faces in Uganda was another great moment & to hear them sing along to your song. I am getting teary eyed now. GREAT JOB BOYS!!! Keep up the great songs and the amazing work you do!

Much LOVE ,Heather
