Daughtry has a nice sound
Went up the line yesterday way up in the sticks, packed a few miles on the car, kinda my version of a retreat aka a daytrip, had the station tuned and on came a few hits by Daughtry, just one of many stars flung off that fiery pinwheel known as "American Idol." Has a nice sound to it like he was born to do what he's doing, has a heavy touch of angst to his lyrics not in a depressing way but haunting just the same, hard to put into a genre (philosophical rock?) but perfect for a long trip. I'm going with Michael Johns on this season, caught him midthrough but saw enough to know he should win hands down. So far through these many seasons though nobody has that unique trademark sound like a Daughtry, he's like Steve Perry of Journey, other singers may be great but they don't have that extra hard-to-put-down-in-words quality, count me a fan.

What would happen if you drove through the 'hood and pumped out Enya's "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)" through your subwoofers?
ReplyDeleteWho knows? they might like it z but they wouldn't know what the hell it is. Slip it into the next Funkmaster Flexathon and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI commented earlier here about my confession that I am watching American Idol, guess you are too so I should feel guilty, huh?
ReplyDeleteMy personal fav is David Cook, although he did not do a great job on Tuesday. Michael Johns is pretty good, too, he'd be my second choice.
I also like Daughtry, I didn't realize he was an Idol winner.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched it until kinda late like I said but Michael Johns did some Queen song and if you didn't know any better you'd swear it was the original. What the hell was that Tiny Tim guy doing the other night?
ReplyDeleteWell he wasn't exactly a winner, kinda like Clay Aiken, but they're good enough in their own right. Maybe it's me but you know how sometimes there's a song they play all the time on the radio but you just can't get into it? sometimes it's even vaguely annoying even though by all standards it's a good song. Alicia Key's "No One", great singer, not a bad song at all but I can't dig it especially the part where she keeps going "wo-wo-wo" or something or maybe I just have a crab in my personality.
ReplyDeleteAll the young girls go ga-ga over Jason, he has nice eyes but its hard for me to get over his hair. He has an alright voice, but I think Simon actually liked his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
ReplyDeleteMy 7 year old son has a crush on Brooke White.
I missed watching the end, some non-Idol watching person called me on the phone (the nerve!) but I did see that your favorite got the boot. I am rather surprised, plus Christie Lee Cook is like a cat with 9 lives, how does she keep surviving?

ReplyDeleteIf the neighborhood kids didn't kill you, as a passenger in your vehicle I would. ;-)
lol,
ReplyDeleteYes, America voted Michael Johns off the show. He should have been at least in the top 3 by season's end. Either the average American, well there's no accounting for tastes put it that way, or Howard Stern is sabotaging the show. Remember last season Howard urged people to vote for the least talented and that's why Sanjaya lasted as long as he did which was too long. You can tell the 3 judges were in shock when Michael said his farewell, makes no sense to me but the voting public can do what they want I guess which besides being a strength of the show is also a flaw if that makes any sense.
I have to admit I can take Colbie Callait in small doses but the guy who sings for The Fray, it sounds like he took too much cough medicine or something.
ReplyDeletecome on, blow that snarkey out guy, maybe if you close one nostril with your finger
