I am a fan (and you should be too), because...there is something so real about daughtry, something true. I have never encountered a person who's will and ambition and love for his family goes over and beyond like Chris Daughtry. I have watched Chris since day one, I immediately fell in love with his voice and his strength. I find his strength to stay true to himself an inspiration. My favorite lyric " I dont regret this life i chose for me" hits my "home" and heart really hard. I am 26, I have a 4 year old, I am married, I've been with my husband for 9 years, I like Chris could have chose differently but I didnt, and everytime I listen to that song it touches me, cause to me I feel he knows where alot of his fans come from and that truly makes a difference in how people percieve him. His willingness to not conform and to continue to do what he loves makes it all worth it to be his fan, I will support his endeavors till the end. Thank you Chris for all your strength and hope you give your fans, we truly appreciate you and love you, and even though you may not have "won" American Idol, you still came out victorious, stay true...and keep rockin!!! we love you!!!
