“What About Now” #1 on VH1

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Daughtry’s newest single off their debut album is “What About Now” which I am am very excited about because it’s one of my favorites on the CD. I was just wondering how many singles they have released off of this album because it seemed like there have been quite a few. So, I looked it up and this is their 7th (and final) single off their album! That is amazing. Just goes to show you what an awesome CD it really is. And it’s only their first one! It’s amazing how much they’ve accomplished so far and how much success they’ve had. I can only expect even greater things from their next album. I can’t wait to hear new music from Daughtry.

Anyways, their video for “What About Now” is currently #1 on VH1’s Top 20 Countdown! Yay Daughtry!
And my other boys, The New Kids on the Block, only slipped from the top down to #3 with their single “Summertime” which I find impressive after 15 years. Sorry, had to slip that in there… I’m multi-tasking.

I can’t embed it, but click on the link below to check out the video for “What About Now”. It’s really touching; I’ve never really seen a music video like this before. It shows us footage showing many different issues from hurricane victims to starvation and disease in Africa, all the while asking the viewer what they can do to make a difference. It’s so nice to see them doing something good with their popularity.

Daughtry song on Guitar Hero: On Tour!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Here’s some more exciting Daughtry news we need to catch up on.

Daughtry’s song, “What I Want” is featured on Guitar Hero: On Tour. That is so awesome! “What I Want” is one of my favorite songs from his album. I actually think it’s gets the most plays on my iPod of all of his songs. And it is a PERFECT song for Guitar Hero. That game is sooo addicting. I could play it for hours and not even realize it. Luckily though I don’t own it so I won’t end up wasting my life playing Guitar Hero all day. I have to make a conscious effort to go to my friend’s house if I want to play… it’s better this way.

Anyways, you can click HERE to find out where you can purchase it and get clips of all the featured songs. Besides Daughtry, there are 19 other artists which include:Nirvana, No Doubt, Ozzy Osbourne, Maroon 5 and a bunch more. Make sure you check it out! Daughtry continues to make it’s mark on Rock and Roll history.

I’ve still got lots of other updates coming so don’t worry. We’ll get it all down so we don’t miss anything.

Speaking of getting everything down, I’m gonna post a blog that Chris did a couple weeks ago where he talked about new songs he’s been writing by himself, with the band and even working with other writers. I can’t wait to hear some new stuff from Daughtry. It’s about time they get a new CD together. Click on the link below to read his blog.

Some much needed Daughtry updates

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I know I have been really out of touch with Daughtry lately and I apologize. Instead of just giving recent news I really feel like I have to slowly catch up on all the things I’ve missed over the past couple months (I’m so ashamed I’ve let it go this far).

Anyways, here we go:

All the way back in May (*hides head in shame*) MSN featured Daughtry in their MSN Music In Concert series. They have videos of their full concert on April 3, 2008 at the Majestic Ventura Theater in Ventura, California.

You can watch it HERE. Also if you follow the link you can see some behind the scenes pictures and other cool stuff.
You definitely have to check it out. Daughtry really puts on a great performance and I almost forgot how much I love Chris’ voice (if that’s even possible).
It brings back very fond memories of when I got to see them live last year. I was really hoping to get to see them again this summer but unfortunately (or fortunately… it depends on how you look at it I guess) I spend my concert money to go to the New Kids on the Block reunion tour in September. As much as I love Daughtry, I am really excited to see NKOTB, and more specifically Donnie Wahlberg… but that’s a whole ‘nother story.

Sorry, woah, how did that get in here…

Anyways, over the next little while I hope to slowly but surely get caught up so keep checking back.
