Daughtry "September" Video Premiere

"September" is the third single lifted from Daughtry's sophomore album Leave This Town. They sure spread the singles out, don't they! As for this one getting chosen, I mean, it's gets better as it goes along, but uh... I haven't listened to Leave This Town in a year, so... :)

Idol Review: Top 4

Fantasia "Bittersweet"



Daughtry "September"
Ah, just to think how exciting Idol normally is at this stage... *sigh* at least there were finally some decent performances on results night again this week! You show 'em what sangin' sounds like, 'Tasia!! (Daughtry sounded good, even if the song sounds like all their other ones lol.) I guess I'll get into Tuesday night's mess... Old Yeller 2.0 was awful & had no business doing that song. Michael was a fool for thinking he could take on the song J-Hud sang at MJ's funeral. Crystal & Lee took what Kris made so beautiful & turned it into a complete joke. Casey made one of the worst song choices I can remember anyone ever making. Crystal squawked something. Casey & Michael made for one heck of an odd (talentless) couple. Michael finally went where America sent him five weeks ago. Aaand Casey is in the top three ROFLMFAO!!! Now, onto someone who was actually worthy of making the top three when she did... the latest episode of The BabyV Show:

Daughtry "Life After You" Video Premiere

"Life After You" is the second single taken from Daughtry's sophomore album Leave This Town. They sure took their time (three months after the album's release) with this one! I only listened to the album once, but this autobiographical song/video (for Chris anyway) seems like a good choice.

Billboard Update

^#1 Album #1 Single^

Daughtry returns to the top of the Billboard 200 album chart this week with the release of their sophomore album Leave This Town, which sold 269,000 copies to become the biggest-selling album of the week. Meanwhile, The Black-Eyed Peas put in a fourth week atop the Hot 100 singles chart with "I Gotta Feeling," making them only the third act in history to spend 16 consecutive weeks on top of the chart. Fans have really shown their support for Mariah Carey in the past week. Interestingly enough, her new video for "Obsessed" debuts at #1 on Billboard's Yahoo Video chart!

Daughtry "No Surprise" Video Premiere

"No Surprise" is the first single off Daughtry's upcoming sophomore album Leave This Town (July 14th). I find that I really like this song! This isn't even my kind of music, but Chris sure can blow.

Daughtry returns with the first single "No Surprise" off their upcoming sophomore album Leave This Town (July 14th). Looks like... a rock video.

Billboard Update

^This week's #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart
This week's #1 single on the Hot 100 chart^

See full charts HERE.

Chrisette Michele's Epiphany debuts at the top of this week's Billboard 200 album chart. I'm happy for her. Sadly, Ciara only sold 81,000 copies (a mere 2,000 away from the #1 spot though) of her third album Fantasy Ride, which came in at #3. Also, Elliott Yamin's sophomore effort Fight For Love started off at #26, which I think isn't too shabby, considering he has had -0- promotion. Over on the Hot 100 singles chart, The Black-Eyed Peas continue to "Boom Boom Pow" their competition & stay at the top spot. Daughtry had their best debut to date as well as the chart's highest this week with "No Surprise" after it sold 106,000 copies following their performance of the song on American Idol last week. Also new this week are Sean Kingston's "Fire Burning" at #29 & Paula Abdul's "I'm Just Here For The Music" at #87.

Daughtry Album Update

With the launch of first single "No Surprise" during American Idol this past week, Daughtry is officially ready to announce the release of their sophomore album, titled Leave This Town, on July 14th. The band's upcoming effort will include such tracks as "Ghost Of Me," "September," "Life After You," "Learned My Lesson," & "Tennessee Line." There's no doubt this project will give Daughtry some level of success & I'm all for that. However, with Jordin Sparks' sophomore album scheduled for the same day, I have to root for her... unless a date change should occur.

*UPDATED* Idol Review: Top 4

The "rock god" Adam Lambert dished it out this week with his performance of "Whole Lotta Love" & made me instantly fall in love with a genre that I despise. Kris Allen didn't do so bad himself. YAY KRIS! Err... anyway, they participated in duets as well, but not with eachother unfortunately, so here's Adam's with Allison & Kris' with Danny. The two of them sounded good on their parts of the duets, but I am not a fan of the idea because contestants that are being pitted against one another should not perform together on a performance (AKA voting) night. So, did Old Yeller ever live up to his (nick)name this week! Excruciating. I wanted him to go home so badly that it almost took away from Allison Iraheta finally getting the boot ... I said almost. Other highlights from the results show (see: below) include performances from Paula Abdul (The personification of irony. But, hey, what can I say? Her new music is my guilty pleasure!), No Doubt (Uh, Gwen, love ya, but that was a mess.), & Daughtry. Guess there's nothing left to say except: Put The Go In Gokey!

Daughtry "What About Now" Video Premiere

"What About Now" is the latest single from Daughtry off their self-titled debut album. I don't normally post so much on them at once, but it just so happened to turn out that way lol. This video basically plays out as a PSA on the problems of the world.

Daughtry "Daughtry Deluxe" Details

On September 9th, a deluxe edition of Daughtry's self-titled debut album will be released. The CD/DVD set will include the original album with four bonus tracks: acoustic versions of "What About Now," "It's Not Over," & "Home," & "Feels Like The First Time," a cover. The DVD will include all five of Daughtry's music videos, two live clips, & footage from the road. As it has become the latest trend, I suppose it is fitting for this very successful band to (no pun intended) jump on the bandwagon. I kinda like the re-releases personally because they are often for CDs I never bought, but wanted to--this one included. Definitely something to think about. Note: No word yet on cover art, but it may not change from the original release, which is pictured above.

Idol Gives Back Performances

Mariah Carey - Fly Like A Bird

Fergie - Finally

Fergie & Heart - Barracuda

Carrie Underwood - Praying For Time

Teri Hatcher performs "Before He Cheats"

Daughtry - What About Now

Idol Gives Back was a pretty good show this year. Mariah was on-point singing "Fly Like A Bird" from her Mimi album. She will mentor next week on Idol. Fergie's segment was good as well -- she impressed me with her vocals on "Finally" (on which John Legend played the piano for her), while she flowed well on "Barracuda" (a song she remade herself for "Shrek The Third") with Heart.

Daughtry "Feels Like Tonight" Video Premiere

"Feels Like Tonight" is the 4th single from Daughtry's multi-platinum self-titled album, released in 2006. While the video is only slightly interesting for me, the song is probably one of the highlights of the album imo, so I am pleased with the single choice.
