Just yesterday I was asked by a fellow Zaadzster, "What kind of music do you like?" I thought how wild because I just got back from a great concert this last week. (See Videos below)
On my profile I list all my likes, hero's, favorite books, movies and "So On" as Eckhart Tolle says so well. But on the music portion I simply put, "I know it when I hear it." So I wrote back and said something like this,
"I love everything from Hip Hop to Blues, Rock to Rap, isolated pockets of Country to Pop, Indian to Chanting, Keltic to Classical , Jazz to Funk, Reggae to House Music, you get the idea.. The point is I just want to be moved by it somehow, someway. I want it to make me feel something like you find in my blog, The Secret Power of Music. In the end, isn’t that what art is all about? The ability to transcend space and time and move the spirit within? So I say, I know it when I hear it.
He has that emotional rock sound that plays really well to an audience. His sound is similar to such influences as Nickelback, Live and Creed. Rolling Stone executive editor Joe Levy says.

Well last Wednesday I heard an Album by a guy named Chris Daughtry. I had no idea who he was until after using his video on the Spiderman Blog. The very first track on the CD I was like, ya I've heard that, great song. I'm sure you have heard of it too, it's titled, It's Not Over, the first song on what has become the fastest selling rock debut since SoundScan began tabulating sales in 1991. It has sold 1.9 million copies in 16 weeks, and it's first single It’s Not Over is a top 10 smash on multiple formats with sales of 871,500 downloads to date!
It's not over
He has that emotional rock sound that plays really well to an audience. His sound is similar to such influences as Nickelback, Live and Creed. Rolling Stone executive editor Joe Levy says.
"He's a fan of '90s post-grunge rock. He's making music for that
kind of listener, and it's working," Levy says. "People want to hear
deep-throated, heavy rock that's not so heavy it's scary. For a
good 10 years, there's been a strong and obvious appetite for
music that turns up the emotion as much as it turns up the guitars."

Described by many as
"A Creed-a-licious Vin Diesel look alike."

You may know him best as the American Idol guy that was eliminated from the competiton an a shocker while in the the final four on May 10, 2006. He was in the bottom two with Katharine McPhee when after Ryan Seacrest announced Chris was going home that night, Daughtry and McPhee seemed extremely shocked. Seacrest asked Daughtry if he was surprised. An obviously stunned Daughtry could only utter, "A little, yeah".
There apparently has been some controversy regarding the accuracy of the vote count on the night Daughtry was eliminated. The vote-tallying website DialIdol predicted that Daughtry was the lowest vote-getter for the week.
In an interview after his elimination, Daughtry said that he thought he got voted off because his fans were "overconfident" that he would be safe, so they didn't call and vote.

Here's how one fan described his shocking elimination,
Chris Daughtry, I guess by now you know what I’m talking about.
Yeah, Chris Daughtry got booted tonight from American Idol!
This is insane! Katharine clearly did not step up to the game!
But as I predicted, the sympathy votes kicked in but to the
detriment of Chris!
This is unacceptable! This is yet again, another disappointment.
American voters… WHAT THE F*&# WERE YOU THINKING???
I am so pissed off right now! The announcement was so shocking
and I was literally trembling with anger and disappointment!
Padon me, but FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!!!!!
"Maybe some people thought I was
safe so they didn't really bother to vote."

So fans were pretty upset to say the least, though I have heard him say it was the best thing that could have ever happened to him, because he said, if he had won, he would have been labled a "POP" Star. Not cool for a tried and true rocker.

Chris Daughtry Audition.
On March 1, 2006, Daughtry's "raw" performance of Fuel's "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" received critical acclaim by all three judges. On March 3, 2006, Jackson stated in an interview that Daughtry had been offered the opportunity to become Fuel's new lead singer. On May 11, 2006, the day following his Idol departure, Extra also took up the scoop. At a welcome home party Chris Daughtry said he had declined the offer.

So what was really cool about this last week having just heard the CD, I come to find out that in just three more days he will be here in Texas and I can see him Live for only $5 at an Event called "A Taste of Addison" here in Dallas Tx. Well I just had to follow that synch and got there early so I could get a real close view. I waited four hours having fun, playing frisbee on the grass with my boy while listening to the preview bands. But it soon became appareant that EVERYONE had come out to see Daughtry Live.
There where women dressed up with Daughtry Diva shirts and signs saying we love you Chris. So I was glad I had taken my new Sony HDD Handycam because I wanted to get some good shots of the concert. So below are the songs form the concert I took. All the songs are from his self titles album except Pearl Jam's Black which comes off what IMO may be the best album ever "TEN". Some are a little shaky in parts but thats only becuase the crowd was a little crazy that night. That and I had two real big Daughtry fans behind me that appear on the last video. I promised them I would post a video , so if your reading this, take a look at the end of the last clip.
"I've accepted my new beginnings."
"Had I won, I would have not been able to come
out as a band, and that's all I've ever wanted to be.."

So here are a couple videos from that night. I had originally posted eight videos but was told by You Tube to pull five of them. So here are the two they allowed and another I made one evening when I was bored.
Chris Daughtry - What I Want Live Addison Texas
Chris Daughtry - Black Live Addison Tx.
And finally a homemade version of Crashed after I was told to pull the Live version I just decided to make my own. This is my second attempt at making a video and I ran out of video towards the end so there is a little repetition in the last third. But hey, it took and hour to do and it was all in fun.
