Daughtry far from idle as rock career flourishes

Chris Daughtry says he never really worried that he had just seen his big shot at a music career slip out of his grasp when he was voted off “American Idol.”

“I didn’t feel like that,” he said. “It was definitely a shock to me at that moment in time. You’re in a contest, and you get to a point where you want to win it.

“And then when that didn’t happen, it was like ‘Oh,’ so you have to kind of re-think your game plan a little bit.”

Maybe Daughtry immediately knew that all was not lost. But he certainly couldn’t have known how much good that losing would do for his rock ‘n’ roll career.
