I am a fan (and you should be too), because...these guys are awesome. I admit Chris is the reason I first fell in love with them. He is the most talented thing to come out of AI yet. I loved him ever since he sang Bon Jovi's Wanted! I, like many of you, were devestated when he lost but then realized it was the best thing for him. He is able to write and record his own music, and the new CD rocks. It is the first CD in a long time that actually got Bon Jovi out of my cd player! I swore I would not have another addiction like my Bon Jovi one, but I am thinking Daughtry is turning into a full blown obsession! I cannot wait until the tour starts!
