Review: This guy was a finalist but didn’t win, and he proves that not winning American Idol may be the best thing to happen to a contestant. This album has been in the works since he was “voted off”, wrongfully. With his debut album picking up speed on the charts, Daughtry seems to have a winner on his hands. Can he keep the love pouring in for a long-term relationship with his fans & critics?

It’s Not Over, Home, What I Want are three singles that have dropped so far and the audience is eating it all up. Will I like this album is a whole different story.

Daughtry was alright on the AI but he was always being compared to the past rockers on the show. Listening to the album got me in a good mood or maybe I was in a good mood while listening to the album. He has a strong voice and good music behind him. He lucked out right from the start. Not many new comers get such a good combo.

Not going to pretend that the rhythm of the music wasn’t blending together after a while; but at the end of the day it didn’t make me want to shut off the album. The acoustic versions of Home and Crashed are worth listening to. The next thing we know he’ll be making an appearance on MTV: Unplugged now known as VH1: Unplugged.

Good luck in the W.O.S. A reminder to the American Idol producers: We’re on to your “America, you voted” routine and we’re not buying it anymore. I’m an American and I didn’t vote for Soul Patrol on One-A-Day Silver.
