I must admit I am not really the type of person who gets obsessed about celebrities however; I seem to have, I won't call it an obsession but, a healthy attraction to Chris Daughtry and the band Daughtry.
It all started with Chris....
First, I love his voice!!!!. When I heard him on Idol I really thought he would be the one picked. I loved that he was different than the others and his voice had such a quality to it!!! I was shocked, to say the least, when he was voted off but thought to myself that with his obvious talent and drive he would be just fine. And look at him now!!
Second, I felt a connection as I too had a child from a first marriage and met my husband (who was only 21 at the time. I am a bit older than him!!) when my son was 2 1/2 years old. Chris seemed, like my husband, to be a genuinely good guy with integrity!!! I am touched by his love for his wife and kids. I think he represents a too often missing factor in todays men....a sexy, driven, charismatic, man's man who also loves his wife and family!!! My friends are always saying how lucky I am as there are no good men out there. Here is one more man who proves them wrong!!! I hope that I too would have the strength that his wife must have to support her husband in his dreams despite the obvious complexities that must be involved now that his career has taken off. Behind every successful man........
Then the band came together and I really fell in love with the cd and the band!!! Not that I am up on all that is Daughtry but I have read and followed some and all the guys seem like honest to goodness guys who are also extremely talented (and adorable which doesn't hurt!!).
So, I'm a fan because of the band's obvious talent but also because they seem like honest to goodness good guys and that is not always an easy thing....I hope Chris and the band remain that way and that the success, etc does not change them. I can't even imagine how difficult that must be!!!! Stay true, it is what will be important in the end!!!!
