it has been 5 years since Chris Daughtry had a whirlwind of adventures in Hollywood. He passed the American Idol auditions, breezed through to the top 10, became an instant favorite, and, in an unexpected turn of events, was voted out of the famous singing competition. Everyone was shocked, even himself.

Adam Lambert on his performance of Mad World, my personal favorite.

Anyway, back to Chris Daughtry (before this whole entry takes a complete turn to an 'Adam Gush Corner'), he debuted his then-current single at the American Idol results show of Rock Night. He performed No Suprise, which I only heard for the first time 2 Saturdays ago, and I instantly fell in love with it. Few years ago, I somehow dropped Daughtry in my 'music radar', but after hearing him again sing and sing his own song at that, I can't believe I got tired listening to this guy. Hearing once again the rawness of his voice, it was pure modern classic.
