I loved Chris's voice when I heard him in auditions. I stopped voting when I realized he should be on his own and not on American Idol contract. The new cd is fresh, rock hard and captivating. I was lucky enough to pick up tickets for the Madison show. I've been to alot of shows and certain one's get me so excited and this is one of the them. Being in the same space as Daughtry will be a priveleged moment because he will be an icon of our time. I also admire Chris for being a devoted family man. He has a great wife to allow him to pursue this dream. I'm also a U2 fan as is Chris. Congrats to Chris and family!
