I never get tired of watching this video. Chris is my most favorite American Idol of all time. My dream would be to be able to go to a Daughtry concert someday, that would be an event to cherish. His voice is amazing. thanks for reading this, now I have been heard.God bless, Metagirl2!!
Thanks for keeping the comments, it makes it that much more fun to watch :) I love the reply he gave Paula when she put him on the spot: "Do you know how good you are?" - "Only when you tell me" Simon is still my favourit ;) The show would never had been this successful without Simon!
This is where the magic began, I thought he totally owned the song, and he turned me into a Daughtry fan that night. And I've been a Daughtry fan ever since! :)
this was American Idol's high point; nothing before and nothing after has affected me as much as this short performance by Chris. Loved Fuel and he made me love them more. Awesome.
He has a huge career even without winning!! It was a blessing that he got the exposure and then the opportunity to choose how his career is going to go! Love, Love, Love Chris :)
I remember when this first aired, even then you knew, you were like what? This did not just happen, am I at a professional rock concert? He was just so polished and amazing, definitely one of my favorite Idol performances ever, and I've watched all 8 seasons. He was just phenomenal, and this isn't even the finals when they are in the better theater, this is like still in the dinky studio, just raw talent.
Brett Scallion and Jeff Abercrombie from Fuel will be playing all your favorite show at the House of Blues Anaheim this Saturday night. Saw them last night at thei final rehearsal and they sounded amazing. Come and check them out if you are in the area.
it's amazing how you see these people become big stars and you go back and watch when they were on american idol and were nobodies. look at daughtry, carrie underwood, kelly clarkson, kellie pickler plus others!!
He is AMASING! Even SIMON couldn't invent something wrong with that! I love his voice! I love how he's just a regular dude, too. I agree with MrAntiFarLeft. Way too talented or Idol!
What I love about Chris's voice, it's edgy, but has a beautiful tone underneath it all, and ofcourse, a great range, this is the recipe of the ultimate rock voice! I'm SO happy he's enjoying so much success despite not landing the "idol" crown, He deserves it!
Was this really four years ago? You know, I haven't watched Idol since Chris got voted off. So glad he made it big. Bigger than Taylor Hicks, in fact. HA! XO, Chris, and XO to valianted6 for uploading this video! Thanks!
Chris Daughtry has a great voice and he does a great remake of this song, although nothing can beat the original Fuel song. Still, keep on rocking, Daughtry!
THE perfect example of being TRUE to self! Not selling out. Not stepping into replace what has been but STEPPING up to become what God has planned. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
To all people comparing Daughtry's rendition of this song to the original Fuel, please remember this video was recorded in studio with all the "kinks" ironed out to leave only perfect sound whereas Chris gave it out live with nothing but his voice. I say put Chris in a studio to record this song it would come out amazing...
It's funny watching this now. It's so much more of a quiet and intimate setting then. Chris is amazing. If you disagree, I'm sure you haven't taken the time to listen to some of his songs. Leave This Town is a STELLAR album.
I'm a rock n' roll girl and this is one of my favourit rock songs and it feels so damn good to see a rocker on this show, too bad it's so rare :(

I remember TiVoing this and rewinding it over and over and over. I had never heard the Fuel version... AWESOME!

Hands down in my opinion the best idol contestant ever. I've played his album out. Can't wait for the next one. In my book he'll always be the winner.
This is where the magic began, I thought he totally owned the song, and he turned me into a Daughtry fan that night. And I've been a Daughtry fan ever since! :)
I love this song and I love Chris's voice Loved him from the first audition. He is extraordinary. Im so proud he is where he is today, He deserves it.
kelly and lauren give me chills but chris daughtry's voice reaches out and touches the soul! Love it!
OMG love this song and love his cover. Thank you so much for posting!
This was the first time that season that I had seen Chris sing. I was blown a away and was a fan from that night on.
I STILL SMILE SO MUCH AFTER WATCHING THIS!! HE'S AMAZING! I'VE SEEN HIM 3X ALREADY IN CONCERT!
This performance gave me chills the first time I watched it live, and I still get chills 5 years later.
i remember i got addicted 2 this song years back after chris sang this... he's really great..
this was American Idol's high point; nothing before and nothing after has affected me as much as this short performance by Chris. Loved Fuel and he made me love them more. Awesome.
this is i think my favorite song that you did chris! it is fantastic!
N, you arre not alone--I LOVE this version--one of my favs of CDs.
His is honestly the first and only CD that I love every song on it. Most are just one or two songs if your lucky. On this, each of them is awesome!
I STILL get chills watching this performance!
BEST performance EVER to be on American Idol. This is the performance that made Chris the FRONT RUNNER of Season 5!
One of the best performances ever ever ever !!
I didn't see this episode, but now I know why I like him so much. His voice is excellent.
this is one of the best performances i have ever seen!
I love that little dance he does at the end when the judges are done talking.
He has a huge career even without winning!! It was a blessing that he got the exposure and then the opportunity to choose how his career is going to go! Love, Love, Love Chris :)
he nails every single note right on the spot, he is amazing.
I look up to him as an artist.

He is incredible. I knew this song because of him and now I absolutely love it
one of the best American Idol performances to date. Loved him since I saw this 3 years ago...

Still one of THE BEST performances on Idol, ever!!
I echo paula's comments: "boy you are amazing"!! - just brilliant!
Best American Idol contestant ever.
When everybody is saying "Taylor who?", people will still be listening to Daughtry.
He's so nervous, but he is killing this song, I use to listen to it everyday. Greatly, I have graduated to DAUGHTRY.
This is one of THE BEST performances in Idol history!
It was this performance that made me love Chris!! I love this song and Fuel actually asked him to become lead vocals during Idol.
One of the best early-season Idol performances ever, period.
Cool guy, great taste in music, awesome voice. Win.
such an amazing song excellent choice
Whatever said and done Seacrest is a great host! He knows how to work the moment!!
THIS was THE performance of the WHOLE american idol ... season 1 all the way till now. THIS made me really LOVELOVELOVE daughtry's vocals...
Brett Scallion and Jeff Abercrombie from Fuel will be playing all your favorite show at the House of Blues Anaheim this Saturday night. Saw them last night at thei final rehearsal and they sounded amazing. Come and check them out if you are in the area.
To me, this is by far the best performance he performed on this show.
I wish he'd add this song to a CD. He is so awesome!

AMAZING..SO FREAKING TALENTED
Wow prefer this over the original any day. I love daughtry's voice. Amazing.
This is one of the few times i ever watched the show and i was like "That dude should win."
gotta say....has to be one of the best live Idol performances....
Was this really four years ago? You know, I haven't watched Idol since Chris got voted off. So glad he made it big. Bigger than Taylor Hicks, in fact. HA!
XO, Chris, and XO to valianted6 for uploading this video! Thanks!
I love it, its so good i get chills when i hear it
the best idol performance from what i consider the best talent to come out of idol!!!!
Chris Daughtry has a great voice and he does a great remake of this song, although nothing can beat the original Fuel song. Still, keep on rocking, Daughtry!
amazingly awesome!! i love his voice
Amazing, especially the ending! :)
amen markstrugnell....I love chirs and this performance is AMAZING...but Brett is Brett and his voice simply made this song one of a kind
it's too short man :D ...that song wakes me up!
AMAZING, THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVES FROM A.I.
I had this is as my ringtone for the longest time. XD
Chris is from my area and I can tell you he's every bit as nice as he seems to be. And yes, I think he has an amazing voice.
THE perfect example of being TRUE to self! Not selling out. Not stepping into replace what has been but STEPPING up to become what God has planned. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Love the last part of this song its so powerful:D
total rock star :) This was awesome :D
I didn't know Daughtry was AM. Idol!!! That's awesome!
Chris...voce canta pra caramba....´parabéns viu, e cantando essa musica do FUEL fica melhor ainda...Parabéns de verdade
xD
To all people comparing Daughtry's rendition of this song to the original Fuel, please remember this video was recorded in studio with all the "kinks" ironed out to leave only perfect sound whereas Chris gave it out live with nothing but his voice. I say put Chris in a studio to record this song it would come out amazing...
I agree partly, but his performance of I walk the line was haunting and awesome! If not a tie for the best, at least a tie!
He is AMAZING!!!
His voice is amazing! I
a different class.. hear that people.. Chris Daughtry.. a whole different class... he rocks.. he ROCKS so hard... \m/ Chris, love you man, love you...
still gives me chills every time I hear it. I've heard the Fuel version as well, and I honestly can say that Chris' is way better
There's a good reason he was actually offered to join Fuel after this performance. I don't watch Idol, but this guy makes me wish I had that one year.
It's funny watching this now. It's so much more of a quiet and intimate setting then. Chris is amazing. If you disagree, I'm sure you haven't taken the time to listen to some of his songs. Leave This Town is a STELLAR album.
he most definitely sang this better than the original. his voice is so freaking amazing
he's simply amazing
good song and he sings it very well.
I agree 100%.
Chris is a great, very talented singer indeed. Hovvever, the original version by Fuel is unmatched. It's not a question.
His voice gave me chills on the show
Daaaamn! This boy ROCKED IT! Absolutely AWESOME!
my favourite rock singer on American idol, i really liked michael johns though
a shame america doesn't like rock singers ...
@tajones028 I also love how they used his song as their "going home" song, that shows a lot
not many people can sing this song but chris nailed it!
Great amazing! I luv it !! ♪♪♫♪♫♪♪
