[@greenmarine1000]

"Nobody is gonna remember this song." -Simon -3 million views on youtube-

[@RareRS]

180* for Seether

[@RoroBakrin]

232 million for Seether

[@majortom8540]

Literally one of the most iconic song of the 2000s

[@KegOfMeat]

Damn it's clear this guy loves rock music. Covers of Shinedown, Fuel and Seether, fuck yes. I totally want a full cover album by Chris Daughtry

[@JLewis95]

Idol turned him into a mainstream rocker instead of a hard rocker like he should be.

[@nathantaylor01]

Simon is always negative towards Chris for some reason but that's alright he didn't need him anyway. He's made it far and proved you wrong, Simon.

[@debrarick9617]

Amen

[@gravitydragon1904]

Uhhh...did you miss the part where he said Chris' performance of Hemorrhage was the best of the night?

[@dustineberle1735]

He was negative toward him in the beginning of the competition which I think was because Simon saw a star in him but wanted to push him to be better. But by the end of Chris’s time there Simon was left with nothing bad to say and primary complemented and congratulated him after his performances

[@newtonx6188]

the one contestant who refused to compromise .... my hats off to you Chris

[@riji9922]

+Newton X Sorry for my ignorance but could you explain how he didn't compromise? I don't quite get the context here. thx

[@jamalmalik3617]

+Ri Ji I didn't watch american idol, but I assume he means compromise his sound for the "mainstream success" that come from pop songs.

[@nicolesegura3218]

serther

[@23AmyCarys]

This is one of my favorite songs and Chris really does it justice, he has such an amazing voice

[@thefighter5182]

Yeah I'm with Randy on this one. Because you can pick any song you want and have a great performance and it's really awesome. Rock on Chris Daughtry.

[@kyliesawyer1240]

How dare Simon say that about the song Seether is an awesome band!

[@susies3600]

I knew he was going to be big, I fell in love with his voice and passion as he sings with heart and soul!’

[@alesiagirona3123]

This was the best American idol performence I saw over my years of watching this show. I love this guy

[@barbarabonhome3547]

awesome singer, i love his music

[@Serena3473]

Just goes to show that Simon Cowell doesn't always know what he's talking about and to honest this show did us daughtry fans a favour:) chris's voice is amazing and always will be, love him and his band ♡♥♡

[@NectarineAttack]

2:21 And now he's selling out stadiums, saw them live in 2009. Great show

[@cajetan3362]

2:18..... is the moment when Paula show the whole world she can predict the future..

[@jamiematthews4789]

On the show's finale he got an award for being the person off of idol that sold the most records and everything and it was awesome

[@debrarick9617]

Amen

[@kyliesawyer1240]

I love this song and Chris Daughtry is an amazing singer! I love his voice!

[@hellofreakinkitty]

man i can't believe how beautifully he sang this.

[@HJ-kf7zn]

Holy shit... beautiful and chilling cover of a gorgeous song by Seether featuring Amy Lee.

[@missysteele3583]

I just fell in love with Chris Daughtry's voice and it really made me mad that he didn't win! And look at who did win he hasn't done anything with it!

[@Talalx17]

one of my fav singers doing my fav. song by my fav band... Seether.

[@alexandriawhite7914]

Broken by seether. Perfect. He did so goooodddd!!!! I caannnntt! He was so talented i am so happy he didnt let this dumb ass show bring him down. He knew he was brilliantly talented!

[@jeaniehammond40]

All that matters is Chris was not influenced or concerned with Simon's comment.....Chris knows what he is capable of and that is a lot! Simon just may be jealous!!

[@joelmorris32]

Simon always acted like he had some kind of grudge against Chris, Like he knew him from before

[@valeriestorm8188]

I couldn't believe that Chris didn't win.

[@kylezawaski3074]

valerie storm he didn’t get voted offf he got kick off cuz he became professional

[@ElleArt14]

And yet his song was played EVERY time when someone left. Amazing.

[@blahblahblah201217]

I LOVE THIS SONG! I got to see Daughtry in concert about 2 years ago and hes even better in person just perfect.

[@emakojsstabler5231]

Paula knew what's up! I quit watching Idol after this! Remain a die hard fan ever since! Watch for him on tour! He is great in person, very awesome personality that truly appreciates his fans!

[@cheriandrea]

I just love Chris Daughtry. love his voice that goes with his looks. (man, you're hot!!). where can I find a single version of him? LOL. CHRIS, YOU ROCK!!!!

[@realtorforlouisiana]

daughtry has got one of the greatest voices ever!!! His passion is unbelievable!!!

[@TheCodeMan95]

And now, Daughtry is bigger and better than anyone that was ever on American Idol. Daughtry is amazing!

[@kecona]

Jesus his vocals.. I absolutely love him. There is not a single song he could cover wrong. He could sing the My Little Pony song and still make it sound amazing and worth putting it on repeat for the whole day.

[@drennen64]

Damn!, He has came so so far...

[@MrKiwler]

too bad your English hasn't

[@saquist]

MrKiwler SHOT!

[@drennen64]

My english? F#ck you buddy.

[@Xzenock0343]

MrKiwler God.. people like you commenting on others their english is so sad and pathetick to watch i really feel bad for sad's like you. English is not everyone's 1st language So Go fuck yourself sir (boy/kid)

[@Metallicafan6611]

I never really watched American Idol. One day, my Aunt showed me this video on her DVR of Daughtry and I was blown away. I then saw him in concert a few months later. He opened up for Nickelback. Great band and a great singer!

[@Irock124]

I have nothin but love and respect for a guy that sung a song from my favorite band of all time...live.

[@wyomingrose1]

Okay, does anyone remember who won that season? The best thing that happened for Chris Daughtry was that he DID NOT win American Idol. I think he is one of the most successful contestants so far of the men.

[@alleycat9721]

Taylor Hicks won. And yet, no one even knows who the fuck he is anymore while Daughtry's out there!

[@mikeducas66]

Same happened to Adam Lambert, and now he is Touring with f*king Queen...

[@marcusdepalmer]

This was the season I stoped watching American Idol.

[@ibleedblue0518]

dam u know this is old when cingular wireless logo pops up

[@ViolaPressley]

To the guy who called Chris boring "Look at him now" - He's great. I love his music and I only like the best of the best. Keep up the good work daughtry - I love your songs guy.

[@ahfaxthis]

SIMPLE , now it's 2011, DAUGHRY, dude, your "IT". I love your music, I love your band, I love your songs. I'm so GLAD you got the boot early from AI. You deserved to WIN and YOU DID with that early boot! Today, you are the 3rd highest seller in sales and climbing. Your music and voice are genuis and beautiful. THANK YOU.

[@lindadraughn1121]

He is Awesome

[@RHlax33]

When he lost, was the day i stopped watching american idol.

[@carolynwyller5321]

Me too!

[@Carphunter1970]

What an amazing voice, melody and heartfelt emotion through music, now thats what I'm talking about!!!

[@EeyoreGirl8]

i want to hear him sing this entire song!! Chris blows me away, he's incredible.

[@jonah11111]

It sucks that they have to cut the song so short. Really fucks up the build and the progression of the song that are key to emotional rock music.

[@SLJR16]

Holy shit this seems like a long time ago! I mean there's a Cingular wireless logo lol. Also who cares what Simon said, this was good.

[@phxmaster9684]

One of my all time favorite performances on idol

[@ThrillRider247]

one of my all time fave songs.. and daughtry is on of my fav bands. this was simply amazing...

[@crisr.a4168]

Simon has made a HUGE mistake...I can understand he didn't like the song, I mean not everybody likes the same music..right??....but don't recognize daughtry talent???!!! that's another story man!! his voice rocks!!!

[@KitsuneGod28]

I mastered Broken by Seether ft Amy Lee with my acoustic guitar. It took me a week to learn and a month to master.

[@JerryGarc]

Hikari Showers Wow, a month? You’re so cool!!!

[@lu1zp1]

Beautiful cover!

[@Spiritfinder1]

Wish there was a place to hear him sing this whole song. He ROCKED this!!!!

[@mickster4085]

Wtf Simon??? Seether and Amy Lee are boring?? :( .... Seether, besides Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin, is one of my fav bands!

[@Legionaire2011]

I remember . . . I remember :DDD

[@HIMYNAMEISEVAN]

4 yrs later, and I STILL remember this song. Great job chris.

[@JLewis95]

Imagine if he was singing with Amy Lee!

[@Consolous]

Wait, Seether's Broken a boring song? it's one of their biggest hits...

[@iRockHisWorld13]

i have to say, this is my favorite song of all time, and i think he did a really great job!!

[@zombieboy3000]

chris gives me goosebumps when he sings!! and this song is effin great!!

[@alexrakoto4520]

Simon is a professional but he was totally wrong with Chris Daugthry .. Cowell only needs kind of music like One Direction's or like that .. Only for show business . Anyway , Daughtry is a bad ass and I love how he rocks my high school years .. And my playlist ! Rock On Chris !

[@bradleyadkins3144]

Simon was right. The song's not meant for competition. It's also designed as a duet. Guy's an awesome artist, it was just a poor choice.

[@FlorianPekazh]

Simon is not jealous, he is just one the best motivators ever. Actually he is in awe with Chris' voice, but wants him to take his performance to the next level, what actually happened already.

[@d12e4m312]

better than seether

[@bulmer69JR]

i wouldnt go that far bud

[@barbarabonhome3547]

yes, i agree

[@landis85]

not better than seether, come on...that is reaching

[@nataliehenson9354]

Barbara Bonhome I agree too

[@jenncardinal8753]

I think he did well with this song but come on... better than seether??? Are you smoking crack ?? Lol jk no but seriously seether is amazing and their song broken is an amazing song and the original is and always will be the best

[@peterrobann]

this guy is brilliant, he knows how to listen . . he's not rude, he's a pro . .

[@sarahjay369]

You have so shown Simon!!! love his music!!

[@X0UKI]

broken is my top 5 fave song. it can never get old.

[@LessThanSarah]

He is so fantastic. And INCREDIBLE live. Probably the best I've seen personally.

[@MsKGB1]

CAN'T WAIT to see him in concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is our fav!!! And the song was performed so beautifully. Simon, U R ON CRACK!!!

[@AZCats214]

This was back when Idol was good. They blew it when they went to the huge stage a couple years later. This intimate setting made it feel smaller and made the home viewer feel like they were a part of it.

[@2jerby]

he is so talented, love his voice and all of his songs....

[@allhellhere]

he is phenominal. No compare wid others at all. sucha strong voice. dats why he is more popular then lots of idol winners.

[@DemonsxXxHeart]

Chris Daughtry makes me have a eargasm and eyegasm at the same time.

[@mandylgal]

It's a reality show in the USA, it's a singing competition and it's extremely popular. Almost everyone in the top 12 have been instant celebrities, the past 3-4 seasons.

[@Holborovv]

Daughtry is one of the most successfull singers to come from a talent show such as american idol...

[@JustineDepp14]

wow! this is amazing. love this song and he did a great job...

[@den1ty1]

Chris Daughtry is one of the best singers I've ever heard !

[@Fight4you1]

He has performed several of my favorite songs, absolutely love this guy, he's got real talent. Not like people who just scream songs to make everyone think they can sing.

[@blistershot88]

One of the many times Simon has been proven wrong... this song has been remembered and brought back to life

[@Alt937]

one of my fave songs sang by one of my fave artists...

[@LysLeslie]

One of my favorite songs of all time. And he definitely does it justice! :D

[@SaiyanPirat]

Is it just me or was my mind drifting away while hearing him singing this awesome song? I love Daughtry.

[@Carphunter1970]

Simply amazing vocal talent!!

[@jds520]

Dang! Why don't we see performances like this on Idol anymore? I guess Chris Daughtry is one in a million!

[@RawrItsJuul]

Great cover of this awesome song!

[@Aizuaka]

Simon doesnt have taste in music if he thinks this song is boring.. there is so much emotion in it

[@starnscot]

Love what Paula says to him. Who would have known that was going to come true!!! "I can already hear you on the radio".

[@JJdances97]

I love Daughtry because he knows what he wants and and did not take any stupid advise. He did not win American Idol He won America.

[@ishmaelmason7975]

awesome! love loved it. well done

[@dcaragan]

This was my favorite season of Idol

[@ahfaxthis]

GOOSE BUMPS...that voice, now that he's his OWN PERSON... DANG IT. SIMON missed the boat on this one and me thinks he (SIMON)should have had a ticket stamped "TITANIC". Thanks Chris, you and your band and your music is so wonderful. LOVE YA MAN

[@wildoninstrument]

The Best Cris, two Thumbs UP!!

[@JELENAXD]

This is the best song ever,and Chris is AMAZING!!!

[@jessicaclairepedroso]

Melhor cantor do mundo. Sem dúvidas! ♥

[@Deathhunter45]

In my option, Daughtry should of won. I think he has one of the BEST voices in the world. He is indeed my inspiration (:

[@laurenreid751984]

Love this guy and his amazing voice and he has awesome talent

[@MsLebbel]

The song is NOT boring, yet he certainly doesn't do it any justice....He has improved so much since american idol...

[@sparrowhok]

I didn't know he sung this song. I love this song and I am sure he did seether justice. He 's a rock star!

[@dulcenasc]

A voz desse Homem eh LINDA D+++++++...Adoro ouvir ele cantar...qualquer coisa q ele cante fica linda...Chris te AMO>

[@GioNavas]

@Zunigaistheman omg. a Chris/Amy duet would slay my life. Imagine how amazing that would be.

[@Irma6312]

[@skywalker96100]

... and now we hear him on the radio. EPIC!

[@Stevenssweetie2008]

[@Miiiikaa]

[@karvelasn]

Somewhere at the beginning.... Chris you have a long way in front of you. Never stop!!
