I know that Sundance went home because I didn’t vote for him, being the evil little SP’er that I am. Having said that, I haven’t, and, won’t vote for anyone this season. They couldn’t give me a ticket to see that bunch on tour. No more pop tarts for me.
Excuse me now, while I clear out a corner in my vacant room to set up a shrine to the AI god of rock, Chris Daughtry. (gag)
skylight…….. I salute you.
LBB -
I haven’t heard any accounts from the Ryman ast night (Thurs) but no doubt he through himself into that show. I was at the show in Atlanta tonight and frankly, I think Taylor just has problems with the low end of his register. He hit some pretty high notes on Goodbye Stranger (I think), although he left the extended falsetto to Loren and Melanie. He also some high notes pretty easily on the Commadores’ Night Shift (not Night Life). The beginning of JTFTW always sounds rough live to me and he’s said that song almost didn’t make the album. I’m guessing it’s because he just can’t seem to get a handle on it yet. I didn’t notice that problem with any other song tonight.
By the way, that guy is a ball of energy and it’s clear he feeds off the crowd. We were fortunate enough to get spots right up by the stage. He puts on a fantastic show and even got me to like the two least favorite cuts off his new CD (Give Me Tonight and The Maze).
For those of you who were speculating why Daughtry has been missing a member of the band for the past few shows:
Josh Steely has been at home with his wife Mary awaiting the birth of their second child. Mary gave birth to a health baby boy (named Jonah) yesterday. Josh is now the proud papa of two boys (Trevor is the oldest).
I’m sorry to disappoint those who wondered if another spice boy was leaving the band. Josh will be rejoining the band as soon as possible.
CarlaD, that is great news, congrats to Josh and Mary. I haven’t had time to keep up with the latest Daughtry news, so I didn’t know that, thanks for posting.
Thanks Carla. I didn’t know either.
In case no one else reports this from Gray’s or the boogie boards – Taylor himself admitted to a sore throat and some were saying strep but Brian L’s wife reported in that she had spoken with Brian and it is just a cold bug not strep.
Someone also reported the air in the venue is extremely dry which as we all have experienced makes a sore throat feel even worse.
While the Meet & Greets are great they do expose Taylor to a lot of potential problems. Probably an artist less dedicated to his fans would eliminate them.
He will be meeting with 300 fans today at Laser’s Edge – here’s hoping he’s taking some immune system boosters for that.
Taylor had absolutely no problems with JTFTW in Myrtle Beach, thought that live version was even better than the CD. In Ashville it was done a little differently with more guts & growl and the two people with me preferred that version.
He can do the song live just fine but because of the difficulty of the song there is no wiggle room if he has any lung or throat problems to cope with. Seems likely Taylor would have known that very well. Interesting that he has commented on stage that the song was pushed by Clive Davis both for the album and the single.
Cut him some slack folks – he’s doing just fine and puts on a show like no other any of us and those we spoke with had ever experienced.
