Daughtry “No Surprise” Unplugged on Sirius Satellite Radio
July 31, 2009 by Jeanne
Daughtry performed an acoustic version of their song “No Surprise” on Sirius Satellite radio and I kind of like this better than their real release. It feels a lot more intimate and Chris Daughtry’s voice is so amazing and I think you can hear him a lot more clearly when it’s just him and a guitar.
Daughtry on Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien
July 17, 2009 by Jeanne
Daughtry was on The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien last night where they performed “No Surprise” and I have to say that I really liked it (although the backup vocals were a little shady…). I wasn’t completely sold on this song when I first heard it but it has really grown on me.
I know that everyone has said this about a million times (myself included), but I’m so happy for Chris Daughtry for taking his exposure on American Idol and using it to his advantage. He’s so talented and he really is an example of someone who had everything it …read more
Daughtry Hits Daytime Talk Show Circuit
July 15, 2009 by Jeanne
Daughtry has been appearing on daytime talk shows to promote their new album Leave This Town. So far, I think they are doing a great job!
They are definitely keeping busy before they embark on their 2009 Club Tour which kicks off on August 2, 2009 in Orlando, Florida (click here for more dates!).
They were on the Today show earlier this week for the program’s Summer Concert Series where they sang their new single “No Surprise” along with older favorites “Home” and “It’s Not Over.”
They also performed on The View this morning where they sang “No Surprise” with some funky …read more
New Daughtry Album “Leave This Town” Out Today
July 14, 2009 by Jeanne
Daughtry new album, Leave This Town, drops today and I know people are really looking forward to it. Their first effort was certified quadruple-platinum and earned them all kinds of awards so I’m hoping that this follow-up is at least as good.
From what I’ve heard, there aren’t really any surprises in terms of the album’s sound. It feels like what you might expect from Daughtry so fans should be happy with it.
Here’s the tracklisting:
You Don’t Belong
No Surprise
Every Time You Turn Around
Life After You
What I Meant To Say
Open Up Your Eyes
September
Ghost Of Me
Learn My Lesson
Supernatural
Tennessee Line

Daughtry’s 2009 Club Tour Dates
July 7, 2009 by Jeanne
To promote their sophomore album, Leave This Town, Daughtry are embarking on a 13-date club tour. The album drops on July 14, 2009 and the tour begins on August 2, 2009 – that’s plenty of time for their fans to learn all of the new songs!
Even though it’s not a lot of dates and locations, I think that club performances are a lot more intimate and makes the band seem more accessible to fans. I think it’s great.
It’s also the first time that the group will be performing many of these songs on stage and I really love those …read more
Chris Daughtry’s Acoustic Version of “Poker Face”
July 4, 2009 by Jeanne
Let me just get this out of the way – I’m not a big fan of Lady Gaga or her music for that matter. I know that “Poker Face” is very catchy (I’ve sung along to it on occasion) and I respect that but I can’t say that I love it.
Anyway, Chris Daughtry did an acoustic version of the song and I think it is soooooo much better than the original. I actually was able to pay attention to the lyrics and it feels like the song is actually telling a story.
Check it out, tell me what you …read more

American Idol Season 5 – Top 12
The fifth season of American Idol produced one of the biggest shocks I’d ever felt watching the show.
When Chris Daughtry was up against Katharine McPhee for elimination, I was sure it was Kat’s time to go. Even she looked shocked and horrified. Chris was a fan-favorite and has gone on to enjoy HUGE success as the frontman for Daughtry so I still just don’t understand how he got eliminated.
Taylor Hicks went on to win with Katharine McPhee as his runner-up. I personally adored Elliott Yamin and was disappointed he didn’t win or come in second place. I also …read more
Daughtry Performs "Home" on Fox’s New Year’s Live – Video
January 2, 2009 by Jeanne
Daughtry performed their first huge single “Home” at the Mirage’s “Revolution Lounge” and I thought it was kind of a sketchy performance. I love Daughtry but it sounded like Chris Daughtry was having a bit of an off-night. What do you think?
