I am a fan (and you should be too), because...I have been a fan since Chris's audition on American Idol. I knew from the start Chris had a very unique talent. When you sing it gives me goose bumps, no matter what song you sing. Now that you have a band I feel it has only improved your talent. Daughtry is unlike any band I have seen in many, many years. Mind you, I'm not that old 34..don't look a day over 26 Daughtry reminds me very much of my all time favorite band Bon Jovi. When Chris sang "Wanted Dead or Alive" on American Idol and he sang is unbelievably well, I knew right then and there he was the bomb diggity (old school lingo, lol). I have never, to date, heard anyone perform a Bon Jovi song without slaughtering it. You remind me very much of a new and improved modern day Bon Jovi with your own style and individuality. I'm a fan because you are so down to earth, so real, so not caught up in the glitz and glamour. Daughtry seems like a very "what you see is what you get" kind of band and in today's world I think that is very impressive. I have had your CD since xmas and it has never came out of my car CD player since. I listen to it all the time. My favorite songs are It's Not Over, Crashed, Over You, Home and Breakdown. Mind you, I love the entire CD..but those are the ones I find myself listening to over and over again. The last year has been difficult moving away from home to Indianapolis, going through a separation and soon to be divorce and basically picking back up the pieces of my life. Your songs have helped to give me some perspective on certain things in my life. It;s amazing how music can do that. The song "Over You" is my all time favorite and when I heard that song it just fit my situation so well. I finally realized that after a year and half of struggling to get my life back in order, I am finally there..I am finally ready to move on and finally over him!!! Your song is a rock that I lean on whenever I'm feeling a little down or a little unsure of what the road ahead holds. Crazy I know....

Anyway, Im sure there are many fans out there much more creative, much more saying whatever they think they need to get your attention and many "horny" ones as Joey says. Well, I'm not one of those..I'm just one speaking from my heart. Now, that doens't mean I'm not horny of course..lol..just kidding guys!! I've always been a person who seems to relate my feelings to music and your CD has allowed me to do that with many of the songs. Chris you have an unbelievable talent with your voice and your ability to peform and I truly believe that you do this because you love it. It shows in how you sing! As for the guys, well you guys just complete Chris and you are awesome!

Lastly, I hope you take me comparing you to Bon Jovi as a huge compliment because it is. I'm not saying your music is like theirs, but I'm saying rather the dignity and respect in the music community that they represent. Bon Jovi has always been a dedicated, sincere, talented and drama free band. Also a band very down to earth and in connection with their fans..I think you guys have those same characterists and then some and I look forward to seeing you have just as much, if not more, success as one of the greatest bands of all time. REMEMBER, ANYONE CAN BE IN A ROCK BAND BUT IT TAKES A VERY SPECIAL PERSON TO BE A TRUE ROCK "STAR". Not only do you have the package when it comes to originality and talent, I feel that you have the package when it comes to being human beings! That is the main reason I love you guys so much and I am one of your biggest fans.

With love,
