Daughtry Rocks in the New Year

Did you see it? Share your review here.

From the Fox website: FOX stays up late to bring viewers all the energy and excitement from New York City's Times Square, the epicenter of the country's largest New Year's countdown. The special will feature musical performances by today's hottest artists, celebrity interviews, and a look back at memorable moments in pop culture during 2006. When the famed New Year's Eve Ball makes its descent in Times Square and the crowd erupts to welcome in 2007, FOX's cameras will be there to capture the celebration.

Hey Chris Daughtry was a favorite of mine all the way through American Idol! I am a BIG rock-n-roll fan! And Chris's first album is GREAT!!!!!! I just hope that Chris brings it again with his next ablum the way he delivered on this one. Chris promised that when he released his first album it was going to be great. Well as a satisfied buyer of his album, I have to say that Chris really came through with his promise. Thanx for the hard work Chris!

Hi!

You guys should keep doing what you´re doing.

I pray that you and your family will be blessed with your recent success! Stay true and stay real! My son is probably about your sons age and is a huge fan. It was so funny because when I bought him your new CD the 1st place he looked was to see if you thanked Jesus! I hope to be able to bring him to a show when you tour in Texas. (you know, a mom has to stay cool too) ! God Bless!

OK, I was waiting to hear this album, because obviously Chris has talent, all the better that he didn't win American Idol too if you ask me. I knew the first album would be over-produced and popcorn, bubblegum for American lowbrow consumption, but it still gets the point across that this kid can sing. He actually reminds me a little bit of Lou Gramm in his heyday, only a bit edgier! There are still some shining moments in this album worth listening too. What I hear is a tamed version of Chris in my opinion. Like there is so much more to get out of this guy. I hope the next album pulls away from the "Idol" over-production, and goes more toward the real deal. Sure he was obligated to "idol" to do this album their way, but I say, pull away from the American Pop and do your own thing next time. Let it out! I'm eager to hear. So is everyone else who understands that American Idol is a ridiculous machine of pop, and you are more talented and more valuable than that! You are bigger than that, a true talented star in your own right! I await the "real" Chris Daughtry. Band looks great, sounds great talent-wise, everything is there, but you gotta can that American Idol producing!!! Paaalleaasseee!!! Now, I'm wondering how many more of these you might be obligated to do. I say do what Pink did. Ditch these Producers and go Independent. You'll be better served and so will we. You've arrived at least through the machine of American Idol, but now dump the pop bulls*** and be yourself. I am happy that they found the talent. I just feel like it's being over-managed and over packaged. Even so, you can see the goodness withing. Just overproduced! Rock ON anyway!!

I am 38 years old and have purchased thousands of cd's in my life. The words "This is the best cd I have ever owned" has never come out of my mouth until I purchased this cd. Chris, YOU ROCK! I supported you on Idol (which by the way, you were too good for) and I will support you from here on out! Live your dream and keep rocking from your heart!

Hi!,My name is Samantha, I am 14, and obvioussly new to this website.(lol). I love your songs they are so awesome, and they really hit home. I can relate to some of those songs. I like all of the songs but my most favorite is what about now, I love that song. Some of my other favorites are over you, and home, especially the song Home.

Your CD is the best I've ever heard!!! All the songs absolutely ROCK!!! Thank You for your dedication to making this album so great. Been in awe of you and your talent since the beginning of AI- and always will be. Daughtry ROCKS!

you are so friggin sexy when you were on american idol i watched it all the time when you didnt win i was so mad. diana from niagara falls ny

Just wanna say that I love the CD, and I was actually surprised they didn't make you do something that was not like you at all. I have a lot of hope that you go on and do very well. Any/all the disks that you put out I'll have. Good luck.

Hi Chris, Deanna & family,
It goes without saying that I think the cd is wonderful - you know that I have been a fan from the beginning. From the first what I saw was a very talented man who was not going to compromise to fit the Idol mould; a young, yet very dedicated family man - a rarity in this day and age. Thank you Deanna, Hannah and Griffin for sharing your husband and Dad with all of us - all over the world ....... we will be forever grateful.
Much love & all the best for a healthy & successful 2007 - if your fans have anything to say about it Chris, this will be your year!

Your cd is just plain awesome. I was most impressed with the fact that you wrote or co-wrote most all of these songs. You are truly a very, very talented artist...I am looking forward to your next cd. By the way, my son looks just like you. He has on numerous occasions been asked if he was you or if he was related to you. Just thought I would let you know. Kinda funny huh.

Chris,
I am 13. My mom and me started watching American Idol when we heard you sing! You are amazing beyond words!! My mom and me love you. As soon as me and her heard "it's not over" we about died! Of course it was just 1 song but then my mom got me your cd for Christmas and I haven't stopped listening to it! Sadly I know almost all the words! We really appreciate you making a cd that has amazing talent and kids my age can listen to!

Thanks,
Chelsea Miles

The new CD is amazing and I'm not just saying that as an AI fan, it stands on it's own. I'm so happy for you and your band, can't wait for the tour!. Smiling

They are good live. That band will do well. I just hope they will do a little more hard rock-ish music, like their "There and Back Again" song.

Chris your show on fox for 2007 was amazing! America has been efficialy introduced to Chris Daughtry and his band! And they love all of you guys!

Thankyou,
Chelsea Miles

I saw you on Fox for New Year's and you guys were fantastic!! I knew you deserved to be the AI, but maybe it is better this way. I idolize how you have always stayed true to yourself. We rocked with you all the way through AI and will continue to rock with you throughout your career. I live in Wisconsin and I can gurantee when you make it my way, I will be there cheering you on as loud as I can. Congrats on your accomplishments and I hope 2007 is just as good as '06 and continues to get better every year!! Thank you for being you~stay true to that. Smiling
Hugs~Rene~

We were so upset when you didn't when AI but knew that it was just a matter of time before you made it big without AI. This CD proves you're a winner and is just the start of a fantastic career. We're very happy for you guys!

Hey Chris,
I was so impressed with your hard rockin' edge on Idol. I love the songs on your new cd, but I really want to hear what what you're really made of. I think that there's alot more to you than what you're giving us. Let's hear it Chris!

New Years Eve was awesome and it was cool to see you all performing in Times Square after just a month of having your album out there. I am proud of Chris for doing so well for himself and am happy to see him get the exposure that he so very deserves. It was really awesome and you all sounded great. You definetly sounded better than Mrs. Braxton by far and I look forward to seeing you all at every music award ceramonies this year. God bless everyone of you and thanks for the great music.

i thought u guys were INCREDIBLE!!!! i love you guys and keep up the good work!!!
