Daughtry - no surprise ( live at american idol )

[@maryammure5151]

Wow I just love his voice. He was the real winner of this show.
FYI hes the Rottweiler on the masked singer. Y'all know it's Chris.

[@methos21]

Chris Daughtry got exactly what he needed out of Idol...exposure. While he didn't win on the show, which was certainly for the best for him contractually and musically, his post Idol career has shown him to be the clear winner. Many people were outraged that he was voted off the show. By the time he put together his band and went into the studio, he had already cultivated a solid fan base that was eagerly awaiting the first album. He couldn't have scripted the entire Idol era any better for himself.

[@sweetartbloemfontein5332]

+methos21 HE IS A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@magita1991]

He’s one of the best artists to come out of idol. I’m happy for him and his band. It worked out for the best.

[@hayes572]

Perfectly said 👌

[@jacquelinebugaringonzalez4999]

Agree until the last very word!!!

[@cristianokroeger5495]

True friend. Here in Brazil we were also shocked by the manipulation that made Chris lose. Today he and his band are a mega success.

[@smkalberta1]

Watching him sing this song on this stage is poetic justice.

[@lunch7213]

they need to bring him back for more performances. Definitely one of the stronger Idol contestants

[@danagjurich3383]

Yes I’m going to pick him tomorrow morning I just left my car in my

[@SatyamSamantray]

It's no surprise that this song is so beautiful.

[@1sick95venge]

I still can't believe he didn't win. u hear more from him than anyone else that season. especially the winner

[@simba5645]

who won at that season?

[@1sick95venge]

taylor hicks. u don't hear a damn thing from him either

[@trev827]

1sick95venge taylor hicks still plays shows. my mother likes him and she recently saw him. i still hate the fact she liked him better then daughtry tho..

[@magita1991]

He put the work in after his loss. I think that’s what makes the difference. He had exposure from idol, a record deal and worked his ass off writing songs.

[@idrisbahim6736]

bias judge especially Simon....

[@why1eat]

Yes idol gave him platform and actually not winning idol gave him free roam to sign with any and he already won many hearts and that made him A GREAT ARTIST cuz he touched millions!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@luisdiego8819]

The part where he said "Our favorite place we used to go...." in high note. I like the way he sings it in second voice more.

[@blake_cosplays]

Long live Daughtry

[@GamingDreamGuy]

Long live the King

[@blake_cosplays]

Sam vinnik
exactly

[@TheRaginCajunWasTaken]

Super hard to sing live. Man he held every note. You know ya mans abs is gonna hurt in the mornin.

[@smkalberta1]

most of the Idol contestants need this show to make them great, Daughtry was ready for greatness from his audition, he learned and flew to greatness off this stage.

[@idrisbahim6736]

idol Chris....there's no surprise your amazing.... 💕

[@TheCandyz]

the first time he sang no surprise, love DAUGHTRY

[@danegonzales15]

I'm a huge Daughtry fan, especially Chris himself. Everyday I'm watching uploaded videos of Daughtry and if correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the best performance that they had 'LIVE' for this song (No Surprise).

[@galfredfredozo9585]

Yes

[@companyof8]

simon eats shit everytime he hears daughtry on the radio, or is forced to watch him perform right in front of him, like in this clip. love it!

[@Unrattled]

Great band and Chris is a great singer. I met Josh Steely and Brain Craddock back in June. They were both so nice and so down to earth. They made me feel so loved and I feel like I know each one of them on a personal level through their music.

[@glpro2696]

Next level

[@alansawyer8821]

How does this man and company not win on Idol? Doesn’t matter he won where it counts most in public opinion.

[@petitiontotext911inyourarea]

this surprised me

[@MsCanadian26]

Chris looked so sad on the video when he got eliminated but for sure he's happy now because his career is better than those who won.

[@smkalberta1]

Its awesome to watch a human being poor or rich, spread there wings and do what they are best at. Inspiring!

[@danielcrowe1335]

So impressed with Chris’ talent.

[@foxhunter19941]

simon be like what have i done LOL

[@Oshishway]

it wasnt his fault it was the fans fault for not voting for him

[@trev827]

RedBird simon said no to chris from the very beginning xD

[@DavidAR101]

Correct. It was one of the Rockingest Rollingest FUs evar to the base.

[@silviadavanzo7097]

Incredible

[@infidelied]

One of my favourite songs from daughtry.

[@WertylevoSuave]

Sin dudas Daughtry es lo mejor que dio American idol 👌

[@JohnDoe-gh8sk]

I remember watching this when I was a kid

[@vic00067]

I LOVE this song , one of my favourites by Daughtry :D

[@quintonhoard4593]

he is am amazing singer he should've won American idol but then again loosing wasn't bad it helped his fame

[@cinnamonandvanilla24]

Amazing. Both Chris and his song.

[@Lilygirl7]

Daughtry rocks!!! I'm a fan for life!!!

[@halobuckner]

He never would've had rock cred if he woulda won that show. You're right,in order for him to shine above he had to do it alone.

[@ashjonez7448]

Most of the Daughtry American Idol stuff I find is bad quality I really appreciate this 💓

[@williamgomes9546]

Melhor banda de rock do mundo

[@SeetherFan666]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[@teammmx]

@lemonslemons2010 They're in-ear monitors. They help singers to hear themselves when singing, reduce surrounding noise and instruments, and help them to stay in tune. It's always better to hear yourself when you're singing. Imagine having all those instruments around you along with the crowd and you singing in the mic but can't hear yourself lol that would mess you up. So, it's just a good little helper. ;)

[@silviadavanzo4888]

Don’t be surprised you’ll be the one

[@annettesmithspeller5343]

HE should have won !

[@orivalas]

wonderful guys

[@horsewithahorn8784]

Lovehim!!

[@carloprospercagaanan2842]

In ur face Simon 😎

[@grahamquacker]

Notice Chris has a lisp? He is so adorable and has a great smile and voice

[@alexwhittaker4842]

I like how everyone who was eliminated from American Idol near the end, turned out to be more successful than anyone whose actually won. O_O

[@choh2290]

한국으로 공연한번 왔음 좋겠음 록페스티벌이라도..

[@teammmx]

@lemonslemons2010 No lol, but that's a good question. It doesn't make you able to sing if you can't sing well. They just help you to hear yourself.

[@TheAmPm123]

Do you know the name of the 1st place winner? me niether :)

[@bonginkositshawe1384]

This is the closest to the studio version he ever did

[@myinfinitestate]

Yep, he would've been shunned by mainstream rock radio. If you look at the winners of that show, the only two that have actually gone on to a successful career, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. But both originally went the country route. Then Kelly obviously went more Pop. But American Idol seems to despise rock artists, ashame!!!!!

[@trewyful]

Just pause it in 0.36 Sec. : )))

[@SomeKid123123]

Yes it is a hard song to sing

[@bernardjonathan1989]

agreed =D

[@susanarmstrong1899]

Eat my grits Simon 😂

[@rlentnot]

I tried singing this song at Karaoke...i said 'tried' ^_^

[@alansawyer8821]

Huu John hard song to sing

[@lookalivesunshine3506]

I did earlier... after the first 5 words I gave up HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Bboylost91]

lol 2:23 xD hihi
but he's a very very very good singer!!! *o*

[@lemonslemons2010]

@tytheeman20 oh, thanks! off topic thought, would it work for someone who is tone deaf? if so, taylor swift could use them! not trying to be mean or anything, though...

[@myinfinitestate]

Great example why American Idol's a fucking joke. Chris was easily the best artist and performer and definitely should've won. Better that he didn't, because American Idol would've just buried him. He's doing far much better since he was cut.

[@gerritmichael1894]

myinfinitestate I mean Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood set the standard for popularity from idol and they both won. Personally I love daughtry’s music more than both of them combined but you’re right it’s probably best he didn’t win.

[@paulchiaify]

This song is insanely high to sing live. Even he broke his voice singing.

[@kylezawaski3074]

zhengyang Xie he was sick when sing this one

[@magita1991]

Kyle Zawaski damn he sounded amazing for being sick.

[@sweetartbloemfontein5332]

man you are yummmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@allebasi0]

is no surprise that chris is fucking awesome, and daughtry is the best band ever.

[@jhoebz-lv4wr]

Bella yes no surprise 🤘

[@MsCanadian26]

@ChubbyNinjia i've noticed it.LOL!

[@toddgranstrom3974]

If anyone noticed.. Watch at .3 to .5 before he performs. The guy in the hat in the back flicks off the camera. Lmao

[@GamingDreamGuy]

he showed the peace sign lol he didnt flick off anyone

[@triosciankliquit9982]

*This song is exactly for the AI stage*

[@blacksun2923]

who won again in this season?? cant remember

[@shadowhunter9835]

Taylor Hicks.

[@BBJ111]

no one even KNOWS the people who won but everyone knows chris :)

[@lemonslemons2010]

what are the things in his ears?

[@vic00067]

@Subzero1951 if he had won you would be listening to a solo artist not a band

[@ezioconnor99]

Ads damn annoying, come on RUclips, dont sell yourself to these corporates

[@SomeKid123123]

Chris Daughtry should of one 1st

[@napojulien1036]

Dommage qu'il n'ait pas gagné 😔
Comme quoi c'est pas toujours les plus méritants qui gagnent...

[@ddboyz3d]

You'd think after all this time american idol/ x factor etc have been on air that they would actually sort out their sucky sound system!

[@CarolinaCajun12]

@Subzero1951 American Idol has nothing to do with who wins, it's all up to the fans and if he would of won, there would of not of been a Daughtry. Idol would of ruined him and turned him into a pop star like they have done with James Durbin.

[@eugeniogarrido7093]

Chris Daughtry is a very singer and this is an amazing song but this performance had some issues.....it seems he didn't properly warmed up his voice previous to the show so it sounds week and out of tune.

[@TheGooglytube]

well...A good song...but he didnt sing this song anywhere near to his studio recorded one!

[@carlitos3000ful]

I dont know ..but for me he in live is always a little out if tune ..mmimperfect pitch and hes own song..

[@Grugell]

+Carlitos Lexman i guess thats why you're not a judge

[@carlitos3000ful]

+Isthisagoodname? i dont need to be a judge..and this is about he not about me ..

[@Broncos294]

well its not going to be exactly perfect, plus the studio one is edited.

[@Colombiagirl]

No dislikes!!! omg whoever presses that dislike button will be such an ass -....-

[@almondiyahh578]

some notes that he didn't hit..

[@forresthumpy]

i dont dislike this song! i hit dislike because i like to watch the world burn!!

[@conjts]

I've heard him live he can do better than this

[@chikinbiskitz2561]

connor con I’ve seen him live too and he is MUCH better. I don’t think he warmed up and he probably also was very nervous.
