Daughtry has made a studio recording of their acoustic performance of "What About Now" that you can download for 99 cents. The proceeds from this download are going to www.one.org. You can also download the video of their Idol Gives Back experience for only $1.99.

Download one, download both. Tell your friends, tell your enemies.

If you'd like to hear this version, you registered users can find it in the music player on the home page. It's a kick ass acoustic version. The vocals are dead on, the music is moody and meaningful, and it's not studio musicians. It's even more powerful to watch the video and see Chris Daughtry, Joey Barnes, and Josh Steely lend their hands, their talent, their hearts, and their voice to this cause.

$1 is NOTHING people. You can't buy a decent coffee for $1, but you CAN make a difference. If you have the money..... gift this to a few friends too. It'll make them happy, it'll do some good for those that have probably never even SEEN an ipod..... and if you gift it selectively, you'll improve some people's taste in music. You really can't ask for anything more. Download it TODAY.... in fact, What About Now?????

Here's the clip of Daughtry's experience from Idol Gives Back. Chris Daughtry, Joey Barnes, and Josh Steely reach out to those living in Uganda.

This is a place where something as simple as clean drinking water is seen as a blessing. Malaria is one of the number one killers, as is AIDS running rampant through the population. For those that watched the entire Idol episode, I hope you had your kleenex ready. For those that missed it, here is Brad Pitt introducing the video of Daughtry's experience.

For those that missed it, were at work, or just thought it was amazing and want to watch again; here Daughtry's April 8th performance on Ellen with the African Children's Choir. This is to tie in with Idol Gives Back and the ONE campaign. For more information visit www.ONE.org. Don't forget to watch Idol Gives Back tomorrow night on FOX.

The Hot 5 - April 6

Daughtry. There are boatloads of people who dismiss the music machine that is "American Idol," so former finalists like Daughtry's eponymous lead singer might feel like they've got something to prove. How about proving it by handily opening for one of the country's longest-running and most successful big stadium acts? Daughtry is on tour opening for Bon Jovi's "Lost Highway" tour, which was in Denver this week, and the band rocked it. Even the thirty- and fortysomething mom types who were clearly there to relive their big-hair-days glory were throwing up their hands and singing along. Chris Daughtry is a charismatic lead singer, and bassist Josh Paul is almost as fun to watch as Flea.

Can a little ice cream help save the world?

CHRIS DAUGHTRY and his self-titled band are joining ONE (the campaign to make poverty history) and Ben & Jerry's in the fight against global poverty and disease -- and giving out yummy treats in the process!

DAUGHTRY will be in Burbank, CA, on Monday, April 7 alongside Ben & Jerry's co-founders BEN COHEN and JERRY GREENFIELD to announce the pro-active ice cream company's involvement with ONE in the fight against global poverty and disease.

Ben & Jerry's is introducing the new "ONE Cheesecake Brownie" ice cream flavor, and since the event will take place at Ben & Jerry's Burbank Scoop Shop, they'll be giving out delicious samples -- as well as helping to raise awareness of the ONE campaign!

In addition to Daughtry's ice-cream op, the African Children's Choir will also perform. The action happens between 2:30 – 3:00 pm PST.

Josh Steely, Joey Barnes, and Chris Daughtry speak briefly about supporting the ONE campaign in Africa.  For more information on ONE please visit www.one.org.

Daughtry will appear on Ellen April 8th. Check your local listings for times. I'm hoping the boys have packed the kazoos and triangles. LOL

Of all the talk shows to host Daughtry, Ellen is always my favorite.

This one's from the post Grammy appearance.... enjoy!
