Is Taylor Hicks the latest “American Idol” to realize that the quickest path to fame and fortune is country, instead of the wall of steel presented by top 40? Seems that way, based on second Southern rock single “Just to Feel That Way.” Granted, first single “Do I Make You Proud” was as formulaic as they come, in the typical mold of “AI” debuts. And on “Just to Feel That Way,” he emits a powerhouse vocal that goes from coarse growl to cool-guy sensitivity; in fact, it is more convincing than most anything he sang on the show.
Bummer experience today,,,,,,,,,listening to Houston Top-40 station 104.1……..professional ad for Chris ” America got it wrong” now hear Chris Daughtry. they said it twice in one ad for his tour.
I announced this in chat….apparently the news has not been posted here.
Jeremy Brady (the youngest member of Daughtry) has left the band - or will be leaving as soon as a replacement is found. Chris announced it here: http://www.daughtryofficial.com/home
The chatters are having a good time with this one. I’m sad….but neither upset nor surprised. I don’t know “why” he’s leaving, but then, that’s up for speculation by my fellow bloggers.
terry……….I guess some people will look at it that way and nothing we can do. How could that many people be wrong anyway, especially since they were spending so much money doing it? Jennifer Hudson was just on ABC Nightly News and was named Person of the Week. So I guess America got it wrong that year too. And on and on and on…..

He would do almost anything to be a Spice Boy, but he balked at having to tattoo DAUGHTRY! across his back.

Thanks griz. That gives us hope. They see potential on JTFTW. I really hope the song becomes a HIT.
Bad thing, now the radio people are supporting Chris and still comparing him to Taylor. I hate that. I live in Houston, I listen to KRBE. How can they say America got it wrong! It’s just not fair and it makes me mad.
Give Taylor a chance to prove himself!
Chris deserves all of his success, but to continue comparing him to Taylor has to stop.
Now I wonder if they ever going to give Tay a chance to play his single. Sigh. So frustrating.
At least Billboard loved JTFTW. That gives me hope. I always thought that song had potential.
I think PIB will be the next single. I think the record company and Diane Warren have some plans for that one. IMO of course…..I don’t really know that. But she is award winning is she not? So is Matt.
maracaibo, i too listened to KRBE and the hyping of Chris all make that ALL day long !! They have a Chris game that they play that lasts at least 5 minutes while his music plays in the background. The giveaways every hour for the tour etc….hope Taylor’s cd gets the same or more hype.
I read the comments you posted from another board. I’ve seen a lot more comments that people who didn’t like Kat on the show actually like the album. I was surprised that she got as good a response as she did from non-fans.
Perhaps Ms. McBeaver should invite Britney , Paris and Lindsey to go on a tour with her. They could call it the All Skanks , Flash For Cash tour. I’m sure they could sell tickets to puberty challenged jr.high boys eager to look at their talents.

I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the Sundance club.
Im sitting here weeping. I just throw names out there and hope someone will believe me and hope the person Im talkin’ ’bout doesnt see it. In this case, the person whose name I tossed out there was you and I was caught red handed. If Donna hadnt a brought it up from yesterday no one would even KNOW dammit. C’mere Donna. I gotta cookie for ya.
When will you guys learn? I just say shit, it doesnt mean its true lmfao.
PS- Id NEVER spread a nasty rumor, its just shit that doesnt mean anything but you should all know that by now.
Griz! Thats a great write up about JTFTW! I cant for the life of me see how they put into a country category but I’ll take it and for the record, I think Taylor could sing the shit outta country music. It aint yer grandpa’s country music anymore.
BigTayFan: I got the same response from WASH in DC. Loo and Lori said to send them an e-mail with the request and he’d put it in front of his program director. As I mentioned on Friday, the station has copies of the album but only for a contest they were running. I suggested I’d e-mail an MP3 for their use since the only copy of Taylor’s music was DIMYP which was on their computer. The person I spoke to said she’d ask her boss if he would allow a copy of the album to be opened so it could be played. I asked for JTFTW and PIB.
“She doesn’t have to pose like she does on the Red Carpet. It’s not the red carpet that’s the problem.
Come to chat :)”
I’m sorry when I hear that I think of Reverend LoveJoy’s Wife who keeps saying “But thank of the Children!!!” :)
Nope, I’m a member too! What shall we call ourselves? The Sundancers? Our own private club for as long as it lasts!!!

But is she obsessed with her image or is that just the excuse to attack her?

Every singer is obessed with themselves. Why do you think their first word after they perform usually are “So…..” followed by What did you think?
Heck even Clay got a makeover after he started on Idol.
Katharine McPhee has really scarry boobs:

Is JTFTW Southern Rock??
Doesn’t sound like it to me terry, but whatever - it got a thumbs up! LOL
griz, you are always kind enough to respond to me….:) JTFTW does not sound country either…it sounds GOOD
Oh Griz, you made my day.
I don’t care what the hell they call it as long as they like it…..even a little. That is a big plus coming from BB.
griz, can you link to that review please? Billboard is being really bitchy for me tonight.
Bummer experience today,,,,,,,,,listening to Houston Top-40 station 104.1……..professional ad for Chris ” America got it wrong” now hear Chris Daughtry. they said it twice in one ad for his tour.
Kat - looking now - it was posted on AI boards - trying to find the link myself here… hang on…
Thanks, griz. I want to post it on my blog, but not ’til it’s confirmed.
Kat - here you go:

DINGO, stop spreading rumors!!!
I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the Sundance club.
Fabulous, thanks griz!
Yes, Billboard, well that makes my day!!!
I don’t agree with this…scratch and sniff posters cross the line for me. Just saying.

Carla, is there a video or something that’s supposed to play? I click on the “breaking news” link and I’m redirected to a blank page–nothing happens.
Too bad about Jeremy - hope it’s all good. But please tell me that the beginning of Chris’ video blog is a joke. Please.

Dingo - Are you and I the only members of the Sundance fan club?
Nope, I’m a member too! What shall we call ourselves? The Sundancers? Our own private club for as long as it lasts!!!

Don’t forget me!!!!!!
I liked Sundance too, but I’m not ready to declare a favorite yet.
Jump in, xo! I have several ‘favorites’ already. LOL
I saw that Taylor’s going to be on Good Morning Atlanta some day next week — don’t know when, though.
Griz,
I hope you are still on. You must look at picture #434 on Taylor’s site! What the hale is going on. I don’t know how to post the picture here.
Perhaps Ms. McBeaver should invite Britney , Paris and Lindsey to go on a tour with her. They could call it the All Skanks , Flash For Cash tour. I’m sure they could sell tickets to puberty challenged jr.high boys eager to look at their talents.

NOLA, it was YOU who liked Sundance and NOT Boulder but I couldnt think of who it was yesterday sooooooo, I just threw Boulder’s name out there lmfao.
Griz: Where are all these photos?
