An Idol Rocks:
Rockers are a relatively rare breed among American Idol alumni. Constantine Maroulis and season 4 runner-up Bo Bice are two names that immediately come to mind, but they have failed to make a major national impact following their moments in the American Idol spotlight. However, season 5 has given us Chris Daughtry, a man who can already be mentioned in the same breath with Kelly Clarkson when discussing post-Idol success.
Formation of Daughtry:
Before Chris Daughtry's surprise early elimination from American Idol, rumors were rampant about an invitation for him to join the rock band Fuel as lead vocalist. After leaving the competition, Chris Daughtry quickly announced that he had turned down the Fuel offer which opened the door for formation of his own band. Before American Idol, Chris Daughtry was lead vocalist for the band Absent Element, but his recording contract with RCA Records entailed building an entirely new band with the following members.
