Chris Daughtry

Christopher Jacob "Chris" Daughtry (born December 26, 1979) is an American singer and musician. He was the fourth-place finalist on the fifth season of American Idol, eliminated on May 10, 2006. Chris Daughtry is originally from Lasker, North Carolina, an affluent suburb in the northeastern region of the state. He and his family moved to Virginia when he was a teenager. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the diminutive Chris Daughtry graduated from Fluvanna County High School in Palmyra, Virginia in the class of 1998. He is the lead singer of the rock band Absent Element, a band based in Raleigh with at least two self-produced CDs, a wide following and airplay on Raleigh's WBBB 96.1 FM contemporary rock station. He works as a service advisor with a car dealership in Greensboro, North Carolina as a day job. Inspired by Bo Bice, Chris Daughtry auditioned for American Idol in Denver, Colorado with Joe Cocker's "The Letter"; he was portrayed as a young rocker with Southern and hard rock influences. He passed the audition by a split decision: approved by Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, disapproved by Simon Cowell. On March 1, 2006, Chris Daughtry's "raw" performance of Fuel's "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" received critical acclaim by all three judges. On March 3, 2006, Jackson stated in an interview that Chris Daughtry had been offered the opportunity to become Fuel's new lead singer. As of March 4, 2006, the band's official website was advertising for a new lead singer and mentioned that Chris Daughtry's performance had impressed them. Chris Daughtry has also played guitar on Idol in group performances. Based on judges' critique and independent polling, Chris Daughtry had been considered the frontrunner to win American Idol's fifth season. On May 10, 2006, Chris Daughtry was eliminated from the competition. Some fans suspect that a conspiracy or voting problems caused Chris Daughtry's early exit. There has been some controversy regarding the accuracy of the vote count on the night Chris Daughtry was eliminated. Many fans say they called to vote and heard a recording of Katharine McPhee or Elliott Yamin thanking them for their vote, rather than one from Chris Daughtry.
