Chris Daughtry

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!
