Chris Daughtry

So I hope you all got to see Daughtry on American Idol last week for Idol Gives Back. I really enjoyed the show. Did you see Dane Cook?! I love him. He was only on for like 1 minute though. Oh well, I guess it’s better than nothing.

It was so awesome to see Brad Pitt introduce Daughtry as “the biggest selling band of last year”. As if we didn’t know just how amazing Daughtry is, I think this proves it.
I’m not a big fan of Brad Pitt but I’ve heard he’s popular…

“What About Now” is one of my favorite Daughtry songs and I loved the way he sang it for the show. A perfect fit for the spirit of the evening.

Here’s a video of the whole thing (even the Brad Pitt intro) for those who missed it:

And of course, on Thursday, the worst thing ever happened… Michael Johns was eliminated! I’m so disgusted with this show. Every single time I really love a contestant they end up being the shocker elimination of the season! It sucks so bad.
Constantine Maroulis, Chris Daughtry and now Michael Johns.
My friend said I had the kiss of death. I guess that must be true LOL
Why do I put myself through this every year?

Well, getting back on track. Chris wrote a letter that I got in my e-mail (since I am on the ONE.org mailing list) promoting the cause for ONE.org and talking about their trip to Uganda. Read the rest of the entry below to see Chris’ letter and see what you can do to support the ONE campaign.

Thanks to Christina for reminding me about this!

Chris provided guest vocals on the song “The Past” from Sevendust’s new album Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow that was just released this week on April 1.

The song is really awesome and as always Chris sounds amazing. Makes me even more impatient for a new Daughtry album with new songs!

Here’s a link to listen to the song on youtube. (don’t get your hopes up, it’s not a video)

Chris also has guest vocals on the song “By the Way” from Theory of a Deadman’s new album, Scars & Souvenirs which was also released this week on April 1.

Good for Chris! He’s really getting himself out there! Again, he sounds great. He’s really just doing background vocals on this song but you can definitely pick out his voice. Plus I love when he does that edgier rock stuff.

Here’s another link for you to listen to it on youtube (again… it’s not a video, just the song) Check it out!

Someone else contacted me about a great Daughtry site at http://www.daughtry.co.uk
Check it out, it’s a great site with lots of nice pictures and info.

I just wanna say that I know I haven’t been keeping up on this blog like I should but I appreciate all the feedback and all the people contacting me. You guys are awesome.

And I’m still waiting for someone who was lucky enough to attend a Bon Jovi/ Daughtry show to contact me and share their review with us! Hopefully someone will do that.

And don’t forget that Daughtry will be at Idol Gives Back this coming up week on April 9th.
The show starts at 7:30pm EST and goes until 10 I think.
I would love it if they performed but I haven’t heard anything about that. I guess we’ll see.
And my other boyfriend (OK maybe not) is gonna be there too, Dane Cook! I’m so excited to see him too. Should be a very interesting show. Don’t miss it!
