Chris Daughtry

Well, it looks like Daughtry was well loved in 2008. At least according to VH1.

For their list of the Top 100 most popular videos of 2008, Daughtry’s “Feels Like Tonight” came in at #2! (right behind Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” which is understandable because that is an awesome song)
Daughtry’s video for “What About Now” came in at #15 and even “Over You” made the list at #98.
Three videos for the Top 100 of 2008 is pretty amazing.
Here’s a link to the video:“Feels Like Tonight” Music Video

And of course, we talked about this, I have to discuss my boys the New Kids on the Block who also made the list; twice! Their video for “Summertime” came in at #3, right behind Daughtry! And their video for “Single” also made the list at #29. I’m so happy for the success of their comeback! They deserve it!

VH1 also had a special on TV for the Top 40 video of 2008 and Daughtry’s “Feels Like Tonight” came in at #6. Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” was #1 on that list too!
And the New Kids on the Block’s “Single” was #33. I was surprised that “Summertime” didn’t make that list.

So, I guess the Top 100 list was decided by the popularity according to fans and the Top 40 list was somehow put together by VH1.

Either way, Daughtry had a very good year. Along with New Kids on the Block =)
I’m sure the success will continue in 2009 and maybe we will finally get to hear Daughtry’s highly anticipated sophomore album! Keep your fingers crossed!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Today is Chris Daughtry’s birthday and he turns 29 years old! Happy Birthday Chris!!
(I would not want my birthday to be the day after Christmas…just sayin’)

In honor of Chris’ birthday, I’m gonna do something I haven’t done in almost a year (!!): an American Idol Flashback. You know you’re excited! If you didn’t either overtly or secretly love American Idol, you probably would be here right now.

So here it goes, we left off at the Top 20. And of course you know they split up the guys and girls, so this is now the top 10 guys.

Chris went last and performed Fuel’s “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)” which was by far one of his best performances. Here’s the full video with the judges comments:

After this performance, and seeing all the judges really give him a lot of praise, I knew 100% for sure that he was going to make it to the top few people. This is definitely one of my favorite of Chris’ performances. I love this song and he did such an amazing job with it, and of course, what a voice he has!!

I almost died after I heard him sing that song. I immediately found in online and listened to it over and over until the next week. That was back in the days when I was absolutely obsessed with American Idol. I still love that show but it’s just not as good as it used to be.
The new season starts in a couple weeks and they’re making a lot of changes, so maybe this year we’ll get back to how good it used to be. I can only hope!

Daughtry will be performing “Home” on FOX’s New Year’s Eve special!

It will air on FOX on Wednesday, December 31st at 11:00pm - 12:30am
It will play live in ET and will be tape delayed for all other time zones.

It’s gonna be hosted by Spike Feresten and Mark Thompson… Um… who are these people? This is the best they could come up with for New Year’s Eve? Whatever.

And apparently the ever-hated (well, by me at least) David Cook will also be performing.

This sounds like a dud to me.
My advice: DVR it and fast forward to Daughtry’s performance after you finish ringing in the New Year with Ryan Seacrest on ABC!

I love New Year’s Eve! I actually got the opportunity to go to New York City to see the ball drop 2 years ago and it was so awesome! What an exciting experience it was. Everyone should go once in their life to Times Square on New Year’s Eve. There’s nothing like it. But it’s crazy! People were waiting outside at like noon. I couldn’t do that. I was spoiled and didn’t have to wait because my friend has an apartment in Times Square so we just went downstairs and watched it from the sidewalk right before midnight. Good times. Daughtry was actually there performing when I was there but I couldn’t see them from where I was. I wanted to see them so bad! But I guess not bad enough to wait in the cold for 12 hours… sorry Daughtry.

Well, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and all that good stuff!!

This is something I really should have posted about before the bidding ended and I apologize, but hey, December is a crazy month.

Anyways, the members of Daughtry signed a bowl at the American Music Awards to be put up for auction and benefit Feeding America’s “Fill a Bowl, Feed America” campaign. According to Feeding America, $1 provides 16 meals for a child which is just mind blowing.

You can always count on our Daughtry boys to help out for a good cause. They are so charitable!

There were 53 signed bowls put up for auction and Daughtry’s bowl went for the 7th highest amount at $225. Not too shabby!
The bowls that went for the most money were George Clooney’s for $1000, David Archuleta’s for $700 (who knew that kid would be so popular?) and my boys!!! New Kids on the Block had their bowl go for $575!! I’m so proud of NKOTB, they really pulled off an amazing comeback!

Apparently this is turning into the Daughtry/ New Kids on the Block blog… I realize this but there is just nothing I can do about it right now. The NKOTB have me so obsessed right now and that’s not something I can control. I realized that almost every single one of my posts since like May, I have mentioned New Kids on the Block or Donnie Wahlberg. Oh well, anyone who’s every had a real obsession can understand. Those who have not experienced such an obsession, well, you’ll just have to deal with it!
