"He is still a class act and has handled this with the polish and seasoning everyone claimed he had all along." ~ nationalledger.com
"He was the best...In Daughtry, America had the opportunity to choose distinctiveness, confidence and cool. Instead, it chose bland and boring. Blech and blech." ~ Washington Post
"Hello, why would they kick him off? Voters, are you crazy?” ~ Jessica Sierra
"That kid's got such a voice. He has so much potential on his own." ~ Rob Thomas
"Chris is polished, and his genre of rock music is more suitable for stardom. He has the looks and the voice and if he has any songwriting ability at all should be able to perform well in the world of rock. It would have been an easy step for Idol to promote him and make him a superstar." ~ nationalledger.com
"Rocker Chris Daughtry is still polished even after his ouster from American Idol. The rock and roll singer was often referred to as the veteran of the group, and he seemed to have the most experience and maturity voice wise and performance wise of any of the finalists." ~ nationalledger.com
“If we had our way, we would bring him back, and then we would say to one of the inalist next week that it was a joke, you’re not in the final." ~ Simon Cowell

"Of course, Chris, in particular, can sing rings around [Keith] Urban. Chris' voice is rich and masculine, and he proved he could step outside his hard-rock comfort zone and take a middling song (Making Memories of Us) and make it affecting. ~ twincities.com
"As good as a band as they are, you're going to be the biggest thing about them. And if that's going to happen, maybe the best thing for you is to be Chris Daughtry." ~ Rob Thomas on the Fuel offer
"You're really, really talented, and the doors are going to open as wide as you want them to be." ~ Rob Thomas
"I know he's gonna do extremely well. He'ss definitely got it going on like that. For those of you who don't know on the show and didn't see, he's a bona fide true rocker...Chris can throw, man, and he's got a little soul flavor and I love that." ~ Randy Jackson

"In anticipation, we called up Daughtry — a.k.a. The Man Who Was Robbed of His Rightful Title." ~ Entertainment Weekly
"The real rock star and career-deserving singer from the competition is Chris Daughtry. Daughtry's got a great voice, abundant charisma and a compelling personality." ~ timesunion.com
"Chris is a rock star already and a songwriter with skills...my money is on Daughtry becoming the superstar of American idol's 2006 finalists." ~ nationalledger.com
"At the end of the day, Chris has got incredible chops, almost always chooses a song that showcases them (except for that Creed misstep), and possesses an unassuming charisma that makes everything he does look easy." ~ Entertainment Weekly
"Most likely to succeed: Based on audience feedback, fourth-place finisher Chris Daughtry may be poised for the biggest post-Idol career. It doesn't hurt that the guy is sex on a stick -- parents should probably to cover the wee ones' ears and eyes during his cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" -- but he's also the most polished, confident performer of the bunch. His "Wanted Dead or Alive" was a tasty slice of arena rock, and his duet with Elliott Yamin on Nickelback's "Savin' Me" was the night's best (and I'm not even a fan of the original)." ~ Entertainment Weekly

Great job, Tia! Loving all the quotes!

I PM-ed you with the art.

Prancer · 05-27-2006, 12:48 AM

Thanks! And thank you for making that wonderful banner!

Does anybody remember when we were talking about wanting to see Chris sing Nickelback on the last thread? Well, Randy recently did a radio interview, and he said that if Chris had made the final 3, the judges choice for him would have been How You Remind Me. Weird

I heard Chris was #11 now on iTunes. Woo, come on Chris, make top 10!

glazed.over · 05-27-2006, 12:51 AM

I totally remember that entire discussion. Awwh, now I'm sad all over again.

Chris singing 'How You Remind Me' would've been totally awesome! He would've rocked it hard.

It's great that he's #11! Hope he makes top ten!

Me too! Added you

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, here's a link to the video of Chris singing with a street performer after the finale. I love that he did that, just had a random, fun, performance. He sounds great, and he was nice enough to give them some money

And, could Deanna be any cuter?
