PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

A) Really Smart
Why would he cut off his options so fast? Even Ellen DeGeneres told him to consult with her before he does anything. He has lots of industry friends now, not to mention Randy and Simon, and all the others who liked him along the way.
There's an old saying that's true: act in haste, repent at leisure.

5. "RE: No Fuel for Chris" |
LAST EDITED ON 06-05-06 AT 09:03 PM (EST)I have to admit i'm a bit torn on the issue as to whether it was a smart choice, or a dumb choice. On one hand, you have a semi-popular band who personally went to Chris and said "You're in the band if you want to. We love your voice, and we want you to lead this band." On the other had, you are Chris Daughtry, one of the most popular AI contestants ever who now - theoretically - has the power to make his own debut CD and ride the wave of popularity that the show has given him. But then...lets look back in history for other 4th place finishers who now have a career.... *frogs creaking* At the time, i did say on this board that he would be silly to take it. But now i'm leaning the other way. Why not (1) take the job w/ Fuel, but (2) have a clause in your contract saying that you can also release solo recordings. I think he would have been in a position of power to do just that. It would have given him two outlets for differing styles of music. I'm kind of leaning towards it being a "really dumb" decision. geekboy

Definitely not B.I'm torn between A and C. Really dumb for all the reasons you mentioned, PRE. Existing infrastructure and name recognition. They obviously love him. Really smart because now he can go his own way. And Fuel wasn't the only band that took an interest in him. Though they have no need for a lead singer, Live seems to have taken him under their wing with loads of career advice. He has built a personal relationship with Ed Kowalzcyk. And, really? Live has a much larger following than Fuel did.

Got the CD this past Saturday and have listened to it and it is really good. It will go in the MP3 player for sure. Not as hard rocking as some of his AI preformances.

I downloaded his album recently (never thought I'd buy an album from an artist I'd seen on American Idol!) It was really good -- I love his voice. Every time I listen to it, I enjoy it more.

Chris' band Daughtry is on a small venue tour at the moment (their Feb. 6 show at Neumos in Seattle sold out in approximately three minutes). Apparently the tour was booked before the new album took off and a larger-venue tour will follow later on this year.

Well, I completely missed the boat on Chris. I didn't think he'd fail as a solo artist, but I definitely thought his best move was to go with Fuel and that he would be marginally successful as a solo artist (or at least as his own entity and not part of an established band). Guess I was wrong.

Wrong about thinking that CD messed up by not signing with Fuel when he had the chance.

But does he have staying power? I like him and Taylor. I think both him and Taylor have limited long term potential. Niether have the potentil of Carrie or Kelly C. Chris is good not great. One hit album based on Popularity rather then content does not make a star. Best of luck to both him and Taylor they are both nice guys. Time will tell.

One hit album based on Popularity rather then content I beg to differ. His album is definitely a hit based on content. Ruben and Fantasia have found their niche areas, and are doing quite well there. But Kelly and Carrie, and now Chris and Kat, are selling big in the mainstream, and barring anything really weird, should continue to for awhile. Taylor, OTOH, I'm not sure where he fits, and judging from what I've heard from reviews of his album, no one else does either.

I think Chris' content is mediocre at best. Nothing new or great here. I think he and Kat are riding high on their recent AI experince. but you know America is like lemmings they will follow the crowd even if it is not so good. Enjoy him if you like him. I still think he is niche and will be has been in a year.
