Chris Daughtry is one of the most natural talented singers ever on American Idol; I still don't understand to this day how he lost the Season 5 competiton to Taylor Hicks but I'm so glad that it worked out for his good because his career is far more successful than not only Taylor but some of the other American Idol winners as well... Chris Daughtry rocks!!
This man's distortion technique is fantastic - very supported and resonant while still getting that grit and power needed for this song. Wonder how he is doing now - he was one of the show's more distinctive singers!
Timliu92 he's doing better than he ever has he's working on his 5th technically 6th album and still just as amazing hopefully getting back to his original sound
the reason he did not win is the voting is skewed. When people like country singer Taylor Hicks, CLEARLY not near as talented as Chris, wins by the popular vote. It tells you the voting is skewed. I always thought, people should vote for whom they dont want. The voting is get as many votes as you can in a time frame, or limited to 10 per person etc etc. So, it in turn becomes, how many votes will I put in? Coincidentally, when he was voted off that year, that was the last episode I watched. I knew they would never get it right. I watch 'the voice.' More accurate.
SIMPLE TERMS, SIMON MISSED IT, MISSED HIM, MISSED DAUGHTRY. WELL, his bad. OUR WIN ! Thank you Chris for being so strong to put up with your journey to get to where you are today. I LOVE your music and your voice. Your bad rocks too ! Let's make 3rd cd soon, please. I need more. MORE TOURS, more music. Your fans by now the millions are with you and me thinks you might one day be able to buy the FOX NETWORK. Good for you. Congrats on your kids. :)
Can't believe this was nearly 10 years ago! Like many people, I was devastated after he was eliminated from the show and used to stay up late for the results. That summer, my Dad got awesome seats to the Top 10 tour for Season 5 and I still clearly remember my favorite performance: Chris Daughtry and Elliot Yamin dueting "Savin' Me" by Nickelback!
Daughtry is such a great vocalist. David Cook said that he learned from Chris before he went on and won season 7. Simon, Bon Jovi is still popular, they can still sell out a stadium, and there's that tiny little thing called the R&R HOF, CLASS OF 2018!!! Keep singing hris, I haven't heard you in awhile,
i love this song, for many reason of the original, an few others i herd sing this.... chris is hair raising.. but where did he go.. i have not seen or heard any new releases..... :-(

he is the best thing out of American Idol hands down
+Heather Koch (heddataz13) one of the best things
+Heather Koch (heddataz13) When he got voted off, I quit watching that show forever. I figured if people couldn't see his talent, why waste my time.

hazelwood55 he didn’t get voted off he got kick off cuz he went professional and it’s against the. Rules
Daughtry is my favorite singer. His covers are surreal and he's just so talented and inspirational.

RC Kelly Happy to hear that man. He is a fantastic singer!
He definitely gives Bon Jovi a run for his money.
How did this guy not win that year?
I totally agree! but looking at his music career now, he's probably best off not winning.

+Yamadog King He dropped out of the competition because he got signed by a label i think!
moonlockets he got kick off cuz he sign with a label he never got voted off
Kyle Zawaski, he got voted off with 4 weeks left. Truth.
Still come back about 3 times a year to watch his AI clips! He is amazing and I still to this day don't understand how he didn't win AI.
He's been one of the few I've seen on the show who just screamed "STAR" with nearly every performance. .
This is the best version I've ever heard of this song.
My favourite American idol contestant ever!! Always a winner in my eyes!!
Holy crap...this, THIS is why he's my favorite!
I remember watching this live. Been a fan since.
I never thought I would hear someone sing this particular song on par with Bon Jovi but Chris NAILED it. What a voice and natural talent.
i was soooooo pissed when chris got kicked off the show. i remember i voted 4 him & he shouldve won! he was my favorite that season
in the end...he WON
He's my favorite. I hope to see him one day in concert. That'll be the best day of my life.
when he sings, he gives me chills! Such a good, stand-up guy!
love that rock vibe in his voice
Genuine artist, incredible talent, beautiful voice! True talent always stands out and never disappoints.
i remember this episode. i didn't know who he was until i saw this and wow, that's when i fell in love with Chris. Amazing singer!
