American Idol Shocker! Were you as shocked as I was Wednesday night when Chris Daughtry got voted off? Did you see his face when Ryan told him he was going home? A look of utter dismay. I think everybody was shocked. Even Katherine. What a surprise! Especially since she messed up the night before and forgot the lyrics. I've never heard Chris mess up once - not a "pitchy" note in all of his performances. My heart went out to him. He looked so hurt and disappointed. Of the 4 finalists, he has the most talent. Elliot and Katherine have nice voices, but would you buy their CD? And Taylor is a very likable guy and a great performer, but again, would you buy his CD? I wouldn't. I think Chris should already HAVE a CD on the market! He's that good! I know talent when I see it, and Chris will do well. I read that he's already getting offers right and left. I really thought Chris and Taylor would be the final two, with Chris winning it all. I thought it was time for a rocker to win! Well, since I am the Crochet Queen, I wanted to make him a beanie for his bald head. I almost have it done. Started it last night. The thing is, I don't know where to send it. All I know is his hometown is McLeansville, North Carolina. I supposed if I send it there, surely the mailman would know where to deliver it. I found a really neat site www.chrisdaughtryfans.com which has lots of great pictures and keeps a journal of the happenings on American Idol. Here's what the beanie looks like. I'm making it in black - thought that would look good on him: (Do you think he'll wear it?)

Send to him, Shelle! And like you, I was utterly amazed at him being given the boot. I was also po-ed when they gave Kelly Pickler the boot as well. However, yes, I would buy a CD by Taylor Hicks. I don't know what it is about the guy, but I do like him and I would really like to see him take it all now. And trust me, Chris is going places, with or without American Idol.

I agree - Chris should've already had a CD out! And Kelly Pickler was just darling! I loved her naivete' and her sweet personality. I would love to see a music/variety type show. Taylor would be great too in that capacity. I did send Chris the beanie. When Dennis saw the book on the table, he had to have one, then his son Ryan requested one. What color do you want? I made Sarah, Noah, and Hannah one, too. I'll post their pic later.

Well, hey! I sent the hat to Chris and guess what?! He sent me a signed photo of himself. It was so nice to get an acknowledgement. Now I hope to see him wearing it in his next video or performance! :D

Hey, that's awesome, kiddo! I told you to try that, and it's nice to know I give good advice! I'll be waiting to see if he wears it, too, because I've got a feeling before year's end we'll be seeing that young man's picture on a new CD! Take care, hope to talk to you soon!
