Daughtry Wins 2008 American Music Award

Last night, Daughtry, won in the "Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Group/Duo" category at the 2008 American Music Awards.  The band’s frontman is former American Idol contestant (season 5), Chris Daughtry. 

I have to admit that I’m still amazed by the success and popularity of the band.  I know that Chris was a huge favorite on the show and I was so shocked when he was eliminated, leaving Elliott Yamin (3rd place), Katharine McPhee (runner-up) and Taylor Hicks (winner) to round out the top three spots.  He’s still going strong (the strongest of that season, for sure) and I’m really happy for him.
