Ok, so here is my Daughtry story of how I became a fan......
My husband loved american idol and I watched it a few times with him. He knew from the start that Chris was going to make it big. (and told me so EVERY time) So when his CD came out I got it for my husband. On the way to his job, I put it in to see what it was like. By the time I got done listening to Home, I turned around and went back to get a copy for myself. I loved it.
My husband and I split and shortly after Daughtry came to my city. It had been a sold out show forever, so I gave up trying to go. Wanting to do something for myself and not wanting to miss a chance to see him in concert, I jumped on ebay and got 2 tickets 2 days before the show. My wonderful dad drove over an hour away to get them while I was at work, just so they would not get lost in the mail. It was such a freaking awasome concert. Now everytime I listen to his CD, I think of watching him sing it.
However it was more then just a concert for me. I have never went after someting I wanted like that. It showed me that I was a strong person and could do something for myself. Which is something I needed at that time. So I had the ticket framed with the cover of his CD. (and just so happened to be picking it up when my now ex was droping off the kids)
KARMA =)
