MUSIC MONDAY: Battleships by Daughtry

I first fell in love with Chris Daughtry when he sang Hemorrhage in the before-the-live-show round in American Idol.  That was a good seven (or some) years ago and even though his elimination from that season is still a shock, he has since more than pulled himself back together.  He immediately formed a band, Daughtry, and churned out songs that were easy favorites.

It’s very tough to beat country rock for some space in my heart.  Hahaha.

While Home will always be my top Daughtry song, I must admit this took up some space too.  Even with all the booms.

Maybe it’s the wisdom of being a married man that’s why he always has the best lyrics.

I wonder if that wisdom is automatic because I am excited as hell to be married to my man too.

 

Reasons why I love Haley Reinhart

Actually, there are only three.

With Pia Toscano and Casey Abrams gone, I actually think she has a huge shot in the finals.  So Haley fans, rally!  Lauren fans will vote like crazy because she was in the bottom two this week.  So vote like crazy for Haley too! :)

Reason #1:  Rolling In The Deep


Reason #2:  House Of  The Rising Sun


And finally, Reason #3.  Janis Joplin.


Oh Haley.  I just love the raspy quality of your voice.  :)
