The AI audience did Chris a huge favor by voting him off when they did. If he had won, he would have been 'owned' by the Idol machine, and would have had his every move, every song, every performance, every decision out of his control for at least the next year or two. (Can't wait to see him on the show next week!)
I remember your audition; your wife was so supportive.I LOVED how you wiped the tears from her face right before. Best Husband ever!! I am so happy that I get to listen to your songs. You and your band are so talented. I hope that you know how much your fans enjoy your talent. Keep Rocking Daughtry!!
Chris Daughtry WAS the idol of that season, even if he didn't take the whole thing. When you think of season 5, he's the first and probably ONLY name that comes to mind, at least for me.
Ummm so he totally should of won idol when he was on! Because he didn’t win I haven’t watched since then! He and his band is such success, no question!!!! He can sing absolutely anything!!! Amazing!!
Whoaaaaaah!!!! In dis song, he really sounded The Rottweiler from The Masked Singer show...as wat nicole said, the voice seems like its a recorded one though hes d one singing it...
sime cowell said no in the first audition! he is amazing and so is the band and song, im glad he didnt win because then people wouldve expected to followed a solo career and we wouldnt have been blessed with FUCKING AWESOMENESS of DAUGHTRY!
It doesn't really matter who won the season he was on! He is doing great now and we are enjoying his music now that he had the exposure and we know him!!
All I know is that Daughtry is my favorite alternative rock band. I just find out he came from a let's find something to do TV show . Well I see even when he didn't win that shit he win because i like his music and I am not even rock oriented but his voice is so good. Can someone tell me why American idol cheat on him ? I never knew about American idol but now that I know I am not gonna see that TV show they cheat on good talent.
@himrqwerty Why would you want him to win, if he had won American Idol you wouldnt be listening to this song because the band wouldnt exsist and that would be a huge shame because the band is amazing!!!!
"I don't know, i love you all , i love you all" ROTFL Ellen didn't even know what to say, let alone try to understand music, lol. Simon is so much better at judging even though he can be mean and heartless. But isn't that what the world of entertainment is all about? -As always, Daughtry rocks!!!-
he probly didnt wanna risk anything because he was live...he only had one chance to get it right, and hitting the high notes can be a hit or miss type of thing
It's the people who vote not the judges. So, it isn't Idol itself that is the problem it's with the voting system. The people who vote don't know talent. They vote on the ones they like not on the ones who have the best voices. That's the problem. Taylor Hicks should never have won as, in my opinion, he could not sing and Chris should have won that year!
"Dont compromised the music that you love. Stick on whats true to you" One of the best indeed
I left America one year ago today. I still remember the cool September morning air on my face. I shall return to North Carolina one of these days...
He said it in the song. It’s worth it in the end.
of all the american idol's artists i ever have known, chris daughtry is the best!!!
NO DOUBT
American Idol didn't screw Chris...he is WAY better off this way! #LegendWasBorn
Emakojs Stabler yes, he got screwed, but he is bigger than American Idol...
Masked Singer did, though.
No one should let Daughtry do a cover of their songs - Daughtry will own it.
Love Daughtry

my2cents2u I agree. It was a blessing in disguise

I DON'T WATCH THE SHOW ANYMORE AFTER THEY SCREWED HIM OVER, IT WAS FIXED VOTES ,, LOOK AT HIM NOW LOVE YOU CHRIS
teresa payne same here!!!!
He and Catherine were so damn good - it was the strongest Idol final 4 ever. Probably the best series ever, imo.
I remember your audition; your wife was so supportive.I LOVED how you wiped the tears from her face right before. Best Husband ever!! I am so happy that I get to listen to your songs.

These guys were wonderful on American Idol. Still are
Still watching this moment 9 years later. Daughter my favorite idol contestant.
Real feeled song. Great!
american idol screwed daughtry. im glad he is where he is now proving people wrong
ikr
Daughtry is too amazing for American idol
So good!💜I voted for him 100 times , best by far.
Simon needs eat his words.
Simon? Simon was a massive Chris fan on the show
Chris Daughtry WAS the idol of that season, even if he didn't take the whole thing. When you think of season 5, he's the first and probably ONLY name that comes to mind, at least for me.
Kristen Kaufman Catherine was fantastic too, I loved them both but Chris was undoubtedly the people's champion.
I don't even know who won that season
Love Chris Daughtry
I love his message to the hopefuls and his humility behind his huge success!No doubt he is "ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN IDOL"breed!
Ummm so he totally should of won idol when he was on! Because he didn’t win I haven’t watched since then! He and his band is such success, no question!!!! He can sing absolutely anything!!! Amazing!!
Amazing performance
He is amazing, and his songs are even more amazing and meaningful.
Daughtry makes me cry, so beautiful. ;'[
Whoaaaaaah!!!! In dis song, he really sounded The Rottweiler from The Masked Singer show...as wat nicole said, the voice seems like its a recorded one though hes d one singing it...
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK CHRIS !! :D
DAUGHTRY HERE AT FT. RILEY JUNE 10th!!!! Flying my girl friend in from Chicago for the show!
seriously he is like my idol, wish i had his voice and his songs are so meaningful!
Love how Ai brings chris back . Just slapping Simon's face everytime when they do
I love this song
Katherine Mcphee was also from his year. and she is a movie/tv star now :)
Yeah, he show us all up. Now his band is very sucessful and could very well be one of the best bands in the world.
you know, even though he deserved to win, i'm glad he didn't, because look where he is now. i'm sure no one has even HEARD of taylor hicks.
Who? Seriously I only know Daughtry lolol
Who's Taylor Hicks?? Haha
The man who never compromise to Simon Cowell. ♥️
sime cowell said no in the first audition! he is amazing and so is the band and song, im glad he didnt win because then people wouldve expected to followed a solo career and we wouldnt have been blessed with FUCKING AWESOMENESS of DAUGHTRY!
it just goes to show... follow your dreams... dont let people get in your way (aka simon) and keep doin' what you do best!
Does anyone get the point?stay true to your music don't compromise and stay hungry!
listen to this song everyday
When he sings soft...when the song slows towards the end...oh my lawd...yum.
Becky Taylor I love his soft tone. It's so beautiful.
This may sound weird, but I dont actually know who won the season that Chris Daughtry was on....
taylor hicks
Some chic that was a one hit wonder lol
Taylor Hicks
American Idol is below his level. He rules it!
How's that feel Simon? Haha!
And they got rid of him look at him now love ya chris always a fan!!!!
THE BEST ♥
It doesn't really matter who won the season he was on! He is doing great now and we are enjoying his music now that he had the exposure and we know him!!
I wish,I can performed this song 2 here.
american idol was a stepping stone for chris. it helped him get exposure.
JP's got so much swag
Your my new hero Anne
All I know is that Daughtry is my favorite alternative rock band. I just find out he came from a let's find something to do TV show .

song of my life xD
I wish I could. Sorry. Not rubbing it in, but I won VIP tickets to meet the band and front row. Should be fun. I'll post vid on yt Monday morning...
I actually payed a few friends to vote for him each week.
Chris didnt win in american idol but now he is always on the stage of american idol to perform lol 😂 checkmate simon😂😂😂🤘🤘😝
Wrong decision of American Idol brought him to the right place.
I did too!
... I even payed friends $5 to vote for him. I lost like $75 a week. -_-
Please gave me a title of the song that the winner of season 5 made .. I dont know whos the winner of season 5 .. 😂
It's because the amazing people rarely win and most untalented people win
agreed
You could not be more right...although this comment comes a year after you said it originally.
I know why Ryan made that joke lol. because that Michael looked like he wanted to eat the mic lol
I WANTED TO HEAR WHAT SIMON HAD TO SAY NOT ELLEN
i am lovin you crhis..muahh
Just tell me it doesn't look like this dude has been doing this forever.
they sent him home because he was better then anyone else on his season
i don't watch american idol, so i'm curious, who did win?
Taylor Hicks and he couldn't sing.
@himrqwerty Why would you want him to win, if he had won American Idol you wouldnt be listening to this song because the band wouldnt exsist and that would be a huge shame because the band is amazing!!!!
"I don't know, i love you all , i love you all" ROTFL
Ellen didn't even know what to say, let alone try to understand music, lol.
Simon is so much better at judging even though he can be mean and heartless. But isn't that what the world of entertainment is all about?
-As always, Daughtry rocks!!!-
he probly didnt wanna risk anything because he was live...he only had one chance to get it right, and hitting the high notes can be a hit or miss type of thing
he didn't win, but he's done a hell of a lot more than some of the people that did! (:
well yeah but that shows ratings have been slipping since the first episode
Taylor hicks i think and what has he done....0
I didn't understand why they hired Ellen, what does she know about the music industry and music in general.
he's with a guitar
Vegas
He's a great singer but he should have came out with more songs
And what is Taylor Hicks doing about now?? XD
He should of won!!!
How did he lose TWICE?! No wonder no one watches Idol anymore!
It's the people who vote not the judges. So, it isn't Idol itself that is the problem it's with the voting system. The people who vote don't know talent. They vote on the ones they like not on the ones who have the best voices. That's the problem. Taylor Hicks should never have won as, in my opinion, he could not sing and Chris should have won that year!
0:30....PRS!!!
kelly clarkson is the exception...
0 dislikes...surprised?
Not at all.
He lost because he is not the person to be signed by himself. So Simon said no.
OMG, how did he not win? people r losers. I voted with all the Phones in my house!
He was just too good for the American Idol, that's why he didn't win.
i thought he was from American idol...i wasn't sure....he didn't win though ai is sleeping on these stars
I agree they screwed he should have won no problem
It's been better this way. Daughtry is a ROCK type Star, And not a Pop type star.
daughtry didnt lose to amercian idol, american idol LOST him
no one knows great rock.or big band huh.....get your ass up there and sing.then!
