America Shocked: Chris Daughtry Dropped
Category : Women Gossip
It might have been a shock to a lot of people, including the rest of the remaining contestants, Elliott Yamin, Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks, because Chris Daughtry was the one to leave American Idol with the least votes yesterday. The competitor ??? whose country-rock offerings had been tipped for success by many ??? was shocked after losing a bottom-place play-off with Katharine McPhee.???Uh, I???m a little bit in shock,??? said the follicly challenged 26-year-old from McLeansville, N.C.
Many – including judge Paula Abdul – predicted Daughtry, one of the season???s favorites, would make it to the end of the contest. ???See you in the finals,??? Abdul said Tuesday night.
Guess not!
As the audience gasped and shouted no, host Ryan Seacrest asked a shell-shocked-looking Daughtry, “Surprised?” “A little bit,” he answered.
Judge Paula Abdul grew tearful. The other contestants ??? Elliott Yamin, Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks ??? also looked stunned.
Daughtry, who managed to shine through styles running from classic love songs to Queen, wasn???t reining in fans with Elvis Presley tunes Tuesday night. Though Taylor Hicks and Eliot Yamin nailed the King???s hits, both Daughtry – who sang ???Suspicious Minds??? and ???A Little Less Conversation??? – and Katharine McPhee failed to impress.
Still, minutes before Daughtry got the bad news last night, judge Simon Cowell predicted McPhee would be packing her bags after her dismal versions of ???All Shook Up??? and ???Can???t Help Falling in Love.??? But this time, the girl is going to stay.
Daughtry, a married father of two stepchildren, quit his job as a service tech at a car dealership in North Carolina to audition for ???Idol.??? He made it, but by only two votes – Cowell wasn???t interested in a Bo Bice knockoff.
One thing that might have shown us is this: American people are short on good taste. I’ll admit, Katharine is cute and she can sing. But I am really beginning to wonder about her ability to handle the pressure. Elliot has a good voice, but he’s no American Idol. He’s not a pop-star. He’s a crooner. I could see him perfoming in a Las Vegas much more than any bubble-gummer concert. Taylor is a great performer and a decent singer. But, here again, he’s not a pop-star. He’s more of a blues, jazz, country kind of performer. In other words, Elliot and Taylor are not going to appeal to a broad audience. Katharine has a chance of doing that if she can deal with the stress. I think that Chris and Katharine had the potential to appeal to a much broader audience than Taylor or Elliot.
So, in summary, Chris will be better off without the American Idol label. He has the voice that I believe many bands will be looking for once he’s put American Idol behind him. Regardless of the fact that I think he probably had the most raw talent of any of the contestants, winning the competition may have hurt him more than help him – in the long run.
