Chris Daughtry - American Idol - Hemorrhage (In My Hands) HD (3)

[@breathlesshaste]

I sat beside Chris Daughtry at a Godsmack concert several years ago, and seeing him get just as excited as any other fan and singing along with the songs... that was just so much fun.

[@lis8814]

How lucky.

[@Commander_Cat]

Wow you get to hear him sing beside you! WOW

[@breathlesshaste]

@@Commander_Cat Couldn't really hear him, because it was SO loud, but he was definitely singing.

[@brownsfan222]

I wouldn’t sing along to shit if I was anywhere near Chris Daughtry I can’t hang with that.

[@LacedwithLacey2424]

@@brownsfan222 😆😆👍

[@richjustin06]

That performance was in a league of its own. When the band who actually sings this song offers you a lead singer position while you’re still in a singing competition tells you he was destined for greatness.

[@FireAngelChris]

I had just found out about this,elite

[@anastashiam1154]

He was amazing! The vocals insane

[@anthonybell5666]

Chris was in a league of his own that season of American idol. But it was probably good he didn't win.

[@hitleractually8180]

or it tells you how desperate they were for a singer who the public had awareness of. And they looked like huge losers when he turned them down...a nobody from a tv show says no to a signed, established band with a radio hit lol....how embarrassing.!

[@Inquisitorious]

I can’t believe Simon said no for his audition. When I listen to him performing back then, he already sounds like a professional singer. One of the best voices I’ve ever heard. And his songs just have so much emotion poured into them.

[@waynemcneil7714]

Interesting that you said that. When I first witnessed his American Idol audition, I was thinking: this guy could do a triple-platinum album right now. I recognized his talent from jump. He should have definitely won that season. Instead, he got 4th place. 🤦‍♂️ Word.

[@_NaGa_koRn]

Simon knows Schit about singing.... Though he was amusing back then.

[@snapkrr]

@@_NaGa_koRnhe made daughtry become a stand alone star because of his critique

[@Kr0N05]

@@_NaGa_koRn In the early years of American idol it was based on a combination of singing ability and looks. Simon knew that there weren't many bald-headed singers out there with a huge fan base, and so he was a sceptic. Even Chris going on The Mask kind of showed that Simon was right - Chris had the best voice (But the Fox had a little better stage presence and begged at the end...). But The Masked Singer really pushed Chris's voice (In his own words), and he is doing very good now; "Artificial" is going heavy.

[@trgoohileshea2820]

He NAILED the perfect song for him in this competition. What a performance!

[@Kr0N05]

I always come back to it - it was an eye opener.

[@anthemofadam]

This blew me away when I saw it on tv and I thought he was crazy when he turned down the offer from fuel. He obviously made the right move though, so happy for this guy.

[@stormransom20021]

He is an epic singer. I cried when he was eliminated. Made me sad, then his first disk dropped and I ordered and bought it. Been buying his music since.

[@jmreach]

That's the best compliment I have ever heard Simon give. And well-earned.

[@PaulMichaels2010]

Fuckin' nailed it. No wonder Fuel wanted them to be their new frontman.

[@jamielanglois7484]

Cory stevens

[@FireAngelChris]

I had no idea about this

[@TotsNater]

Wish he would've accepted. The album they did with Toryn Green was embarrassing. Sounded like if the Backstreet Boys went post-grunge. If Daughtry had jumped on board, we could've had another classic like Sunburn or SLH.

[@FireAngelChris]

Until this day it’s still a top tier performance

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Maybe after today too.

[@haneenrifai3729]

Im so glad he made DAUGHTRY! I love their music to this date.

[@OrthodoxChristianBeliever]

I'm not digging his newer stuff though, the older stuff he put out was much better. Personally, I think his music needs to be heavier. Not metal, but have more of a 12 stones, absolution project, three days grace sound like the first song off his second record, "gone".

[@jakeschollnerd]

Daughtry should have won... But it doesn't matter now! He's a very succesful rock musician. Idol needs more rockers, or they need to make a rock version of Idol.

[@anthonybell5666]

Him winning would've tainted his success.

[@thefighter5182]

Him winning wouldn't have tainted his success. Because he was in his own band before American Idol and that's why.

[@ritamills3417]

Being a huge Fuel fan myself, this made me an instant fan of Chris. I was so mad he didn't win.

[@the60sfanatic87]

As far as I’m concerned, this holds up as the best Idol performance of all time. Anyone who followed him on Idol back then should have also immediately recognized his voice under the Rottweiler costume.

[@crystalesterline3409]

Chris Daughtry is amazing a a person and musician. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert and he seems just as humble as ever no matter the fame. He could sing anything and make it sound incredible!!

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

He is talented, which is hard to say for many on the radio these days.

[@thefighter5182]

Yeah he is really talented. Also it's not that hard to say for many on the radio these days. Because obviously Kid Rock would win American Idol if he were to be on American Idol.

[@elizabethmckenna5397]

This performance was phenomenal!

[@Kr0N05]

I love how Chris can sing anything - he starts off slow/melodic... and then in a heart beat he kicks it into overdrive. :)

[@Robin-xt7yo]

Chris Daughtry is my favorite American idol alum. He has it all.

[@rbishop95]

Jesus, imagine following that. It’s still amazing 17 years later

[@Kr0N05]

LOL all the other male contestants probably shit themselves standing up on that balcony. :)

[@CollinKinder]

I know this was a long time ago but it applies more now than ever. It's sad a voice and personality like that could not make it on his own. So raw and pure, people like Chris with values need to be promoted more in the industry.

[@jonmartin9732]

He’s currently doing alright for himself

[@ljungan93]

​@@jonmartin9732I think he means before American Idol.

[@peggyo4377]

All these years later and this is by FAR the best performance ever on AI. I could watch it 24/7 forever. 💕❤️

[@kenhasibar2624]

Peggy, check out his "Dead or Alive." The dude is just amazing. 🖖

[@JediWitness2]

Season 5 was the first time I ever watched this show. I KNEW from the second I heard Chris sing this song that he was going to be a star at some point. His vocals were perfect, powerful, his emotional content was excellent. He Should have won without a doubt as he is to this day, the most successful Non Idol winner ever, and he's even more successful than all but a couple of Idol winners. I think that only Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have still outsold Chris in No.. of Albums, but he is catching up pretty fast and could eventually be the most successful idol contestant ever, which is even more impressive since he came in 4th in his year.

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

+JediWitness2 Same here I began watching Idol that season and Chris Daughtry is still my favorite Idol contestant, with Adam Lambert at a close second. Even though DAUGHTRY's sound has changed, they're still very successful and I'm glad that all of Chris's hard work before Idol paid off

[@kylezawaski1287]

Jordan A daughtry sound didn’t change

[@nelsdanburg5407]

Completely. Only rivaled by Adan Lanbert for the most successful non winner to ever come out of the show. Daughtry really is one of a kind.

[@schroyer65]

I love this guy!!! He is awesome! Great voice, great presence!

[@Jesse_Saucedo]

I agree..people that go to his concerts are sure Getting there money's worth Because all there songs are awesome

[@Poxell91]

Still one of the best sung renditions of this song I ever heard. :)

[@david4winds394]

Soon as Chris lost I stopped watching. But now I’m happy because it’s better for him now.

[@iyot1020]

Yeah he's not tied to the American idol crap and was able to make his own music

[@sarahs413]

#Daughtry -- DUDE, this would be EPIC to see covered if at all possible again and in some of your tours now!!! There's a REASON I never missed a performance! DANG, @DaughtryOfficial !!!!! I LOVEEEE that you are full circle when "higher ups" tried to put you into THEIR vision when you were very first touring! Look at this! It works with you NOW too!

[@jayalhadeff3663]

One of my favorite idol performances

[@Jesse_Saucedo]

Me to..Daughtry is amazing

[@DexterHaven]

I'd walk the line...

[@allstardjb]

I can listen to when Chris sings "behind" @ 1:06 ALL DAY Such a memorable performance

[@KegOfMeat]

You can tell Chris Daughtry is a fan of rock by performing this as well as Shinedown's I Dare You on American Idol.

[@ronny2shoes]

It’s crazy that you mentioned this because he sounds EXACTLY like the lead singer of Shinedown. Insane how similar their voices are.

[@Solidconcept]

This single performance is so freaking good. He just wooped the floor. nothing can touch it. He's just such success from then to now.

[@richardloper3155]

Taylor Hicks is opening car doors for Daughtry right now!!!

[@music6572]

akaElleLatham taylor works in vegas

[@kylezawaski3074]

akaElleLatham Katherine is not a professional singer

[@johncrossing]

+Kyle Zawaski Yeah, but she's still doing well. She's had a solid acting career.

[@joeedwards1682]

Lol I live in Birmingham Taylor’s hometown. Dude is a cocky arrogant prick. Extremely rude to people who recognize him. I bet Chris is very humble tho.

[@kellyanndean9374]

Ha ha lol😩😄

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

I can't believe this was nearly 10 years ago! Chris is still one of my favorite Idol contestant to this day

[@FoolisH409]

Same!

[@FireAngelChris]

18 years ago now

[@the_fd_180]

My favorite contestant in American Idol history.

[@karenok464]

My absolute favorite American Idol talent.

[@FoolisH409]

Same no doubt about it

[@FoolisH409]

I love a lot of the winners from all the seasons but this guy here is my favorite contestant of all time.

[@mynameissarah5117]

On another note I absolutely love Chris's expressions when he sings 💖

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

Yeah, I think that's part of why Simon called it a real performance. His expressions, his gestures, his posture and movement, the way he turned towards the crowd at that one point and kept track of when the camera zoomed in on him. He didn't just sing well; he really got into it and embodied the emotions the lyrics are conveying.

[@LurkerofLurkers]

This is one of the best Idol performances ever! Seriously..top 3 or 4.

[@moshyla]

I’ll never forget this presentation .. it was mesmerizing after that I knew he was my idol .

[@jjhicks7035]

one of the best performances chris Daughtry american idol behind "what if|" by creed , and two of the best american idol rock performances behind "hello" david cook version

[@Samantha123194]

1:04 "Was it something you left behind" I love the way he sounds on that part! I fucking love his voice! He is an amazing singer!

[@bobbystolp781]

A star is born.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

It was obvious early-on that he had that "star quality," great unique voice, good stage presence.

[@dhackdaddymac]

This performance was definitely one to remember.

[@mikejackson8150]

This dude is unbelievable very unique voice

[@AmericanIdolz2011]

This was one of the best performances of Season 5. Damn near perfect.

[@ciderguinness]

Still the best American Idol performance

[@paulbeahm3891]

It's like... if nickleback was good, they'd sound like this. That's the best way I can describe daughtry's sound

[@nikiedmonds6236]

He was amazing! One of my favorite AI performances!

[@anastashiam1154]

Still the best ever on this show

[@stormfairy9116]

Epic cover! Always loved Chris!

[@thorafreak]

he's a phenomenal artist and a great person too!

[@mmaraujo]

i love his voice!! my favorite american idol contestant ever... i love his band Daughtry too

[@aracelypadilla4658]

Wonder what his competition was thinking watching him perform. They were like, dam, how are we going to top that performance.

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

I think some were impressed and pleased for him. I thought I saw one waving (his?) arms the way people do when they're cheering at a concert or game or some-such.

[@thizzdance16]

This guys was hands down amazing his style of music is forever imprisoned in our heads. he made us love this style of music.

[@mvgsports]

Great song for him...awesome...nailed it!

[@JustinL614]

Wow what a choice of song..he's pretty good just heard about this guy

[@johnyapple8447]

Such a respectful, balanced display of humility and confidence on top of lyrics that auto tune will forever struggle to fabricate... I love Daughtery. (Also, thanks for “Crashed”. It was in one of my favorite Lego Bionicle mini movies, Toa Mahri.)

[@4reptar207]

Loved the incubus reference by Randy

[@figurepnt09]

i totally agree. from the moment you heard chris sing you knew he was an artist. this season of american idol doesn't have a single contestant that has what it takes.

[@jmy2399]

I love this song

[@joserafaelcardonacano1089]

wow!!! great cover!

[@austinn2062]

Never new one of my favorite artists auditioned on AI singing one of my favorite songs ever before he blew up

[@hollywd125]

A star is borne. So glad his dream came true. A real talent and a real genuinely good person.

[@Nicotaureau]

Still awesome 😍🤘

[@lucylazo7098]

Went to the NJ rock carnival today and saw Fuel open for Daughtry. I wish I could travel back in time and tell Chris what he would acomplish.

[@grimer1805]

woah really lol thats cool

[@mysublimechick]

Better than the original

[@mud5726]

[@starlabratcherflannigan1798]

Nicely done

[@TexasGirlDiaz05]

Well, this was just a stepping stone for Chris...He’s Awsum!!!

[@zerosoma33]

Hated his voice on the radio in 2006-2009. You know how radio overplays everything. This guy gave me chills here though. Very talented vocalist despite his nervousness.

[@KDMcQueen]

Can i just say how much i still Fkn Love Chris Daughtry. Ok cool cause imma say it. ✌🏿🤓❤

Just love this performance - every few months I just go back to it to remind myself how good he actually is! Vino Alan on XFactor USA this year is very similar and I hope he does really well

[@mysublimechick]

I actually love that he didn't win and just went off to be awesome

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

It was a shock at the time when he was sent home, but a big blessing in disguise for him financially.

[@gregoryburne5251]

Class act. Period.

[@dominiquelizarzaburu]

I can't believe I saw this episode of AGT live! It's been so many years, and I still remember! It shocked me for good!! Chris is a great artist

[@nicoleangel4383]

He reminds me of my older brother looks wise...And its hard to believe this was 12-13 years ago. He should've won that season! Him getting eliminated was the biggest wtf moment in Idol history, next to Adam Lambert losing his season. Too bad they didn't have the save then! And you damn right Randy, he should've been on the charts, he did make the charts, and still dominating them today! Love you Chris! One of my favorite Idol Contestants ever!

[@ember13dp]

wow he did AMAZING on this song!!!

[@soozee7132]

[@reigningnemesis1]

I rmb being 16 and as I was crying when chris got voted out, I kept going back and rewatching videos like this and simply couldn't comprehend how he (I mean I can't even remember the names of the top 3!) could have got voted out. I STILL cannot comprehend it now.

[@wraith1117]

I totally admire him for blowing of Fuel to do his own thing.

[@richardbrown1819]
