(and you should be, too) From the first time I heard Chris on AI I just knew there was something special about him. Watching him sing I could see all the different emotions he put into every song he sang. I could tell he was singing from his heart. There's nothing phoney here. To me, that's what singing is all about; letting people know what's coming from your heart, and sharing it; letting them experience what you are feeling and creating a bond between the two of you.

There are so many of the songs that remind me of one thing or another that I've experienced in my own life; from a bad relationship to the loss of a loved one. And I feel as if the guys are right there with me, understanding and supporting me.

And it's amazing to see how all of the guys are as dedicated to the fans as the fans are to them; how they make everyone feel comfortable and an important part of why they are where they are today. It's like a partnership. That's amazing to me.

I know in my heart of hearts that Daughtry will be going places they've only dreamed of going. Thanks guys for giving your fans a small piece of your hearts. I know you'll always have a huge place in mine.

Thanks for bringing some happiness into my life, and for sharing yours with me. God bless all of you!
