Daughtry, despite the earlier exit on American Idol, still went on to deliver great songs and albums- and to this date, Daughtry’s self-titled 2006 album remains to be their best-selling album, and one of the best-selling rock albums of the 2010s decadal era. And so, his shock exit on the competition show was a little unexpected…nevertheless, what transpired afterward was nothing short of a miracle (or a que sera sera moment or a ‘meant to be’, whatever you want to call it).

To be candid and perfectly honest, I reckon everyone thought that Daughtry was going to win the American Idol season he was performing on…and so when he was booted off in 4 th place, it came as a shock- the judges loved him, the audience both in the live studio plus at home, also loved him. Chris has given to us a band that is truly underrated, and one that makes me smile anytime I listen to them.

have decided to make good music as well as impart values upon society, that we all need to strive and live by. Daughtry have, I reckon, shown us a great example of what it means to thrive in the rock industry that isn’t all about inspiration or even anything to do with a wholehearted message at this point. 3 on the list of most successful artists post Idol (#1 and #2 are occupied by none other than Carrie and Kelly respectively!), all the while delivering songs of importance as the band themselves have changed what it means to create great rock music with a solid message and an inspirational edge. Daughty has made their mark on music in general over the last decade and a half, or so and while they’re still not very as known or even as popular as other mainstays like OneRepublic, Coldplay, Switchfoot and Evanescence Daughtry exploded onto the music scene with their eponymous band way back in 2006. Fast-forward to just a few years ago in 2019, and according to statistics, they sit as high as no. I’ve always admired Daughtry the band (and Chris Daughtry the lead singer) for the honesty and transparency expressed in their music, and while Chris himself didn’t win the American Idol season he was participating in (he came fourth in a season of American Idol where musicians and stars like Katharine McPhee-Foster, Mandisa and Kellie Pickler were borne out of), Daughtry the band was a force to be reckoned with, in the immediate years post-Idol. Since writing a blog pertaining to the impact and influence about this underrated band, in late 2019 I’ve been listening to a fair amount of other music from other artists who are equally as emotive, passionate, enthusiastic and poignant, and while I’ve thoroughly appreciated the craft of Daughtry (and it’s lead singer Chris Daughtry) for quite some time, it’s been literally impossible (if you’d consider the frequency of blogging within the years of 2019, 2020 and now 2021) to just listen to Daughtry, just because…until now that is. It’s been almost two years since I’ve listened to much of anything by Daughtry.
