Kelly got airsick twice during the flight, but was thrilled anyway. Here's some photos (by AP/Fort Worth Star-Telegram,'s Ron T. Ennis).
Kelly in the cockpit before the flight.
She excidedly pumps her fist.
After the flight, a somewhat woozy Kelly holds up the 'V' for victory sign.
Talking with the media afterwards, Kelly told them she got airsick twice. :)
When I hear Kelly's voice in that Sandals commercial I am again awed by her talent.
LOL! I know just what you mean.
What you see is what you be ":^)
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
I love Ed Kowalczyk. Chris would be good doing their stuff but I love Ed.
FWIW, I found this on Wikipedia:
On season 5 of American Idol, finalist Chris Daughtry was accused of performing Live's rendition of Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line" and calling it his own. This angered some Live fans, but a week later, Daughtry acknowledged it was not his own rendition, even saying they were one of his favorite bands. In May 2006, Live appeared on The Howard Stern Show and addressed this issue. Ed Kowalczyk gave Daughtry a personal phone call. "He's since apologized profusely to me," said Ed. "He's actually a great singer and a great guy."
Thus the entire problem with the show.....
That has to be a wish list. Too good to be true otherwise.....
You think they'd let him do one of his own songs?
If we end up with Kat and Elliot in the final I'm not watching. I can't stand either of them. Chris was da man. Taylor has peronality. Elliot looks like a taxi cab going down the street with the doors open. And Kat reminds me too much of my sister-in-law.
Marc Cohn did it about 15 years ago. Great song. Really a great record but that's the only song that every gets any play.
Last season they re-did an entire week because of a wrong number. Precedent and stuff........
Gee I like her more and more all the time! Thanks for posting those. Was she going WOOOOOOOO! in that last pic? LOL
Not likely. Be a risky move, too, since you want to sing known hits.
Weren't there screen captures for that and wasn't it caught a LOT earlier?
CONFIRMED:
FUEL HAS OFFERED CHRIS THE LEAD SINGER’s JOB.

UPDATE: Fuel to Give Daughtry the Break of a Lifetime
Band goes to ‘EXTRA’ to make the offer
May 11 4:45PM ET) — The multi-platinum rock band Fuel has offered ‘American Idol’s’ Chris Daughtry a gig with the band.
TMZ has learned that Fuel will make the offer in an exclusive interview on the television show ‘EXTRA’ tonight.
In a stunning turn of events, Daughtry, who was the odds-on favorite to win the ‘Idol’ competition, was booted last night.
Daughtry was on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show in Los Angeles this morning, where the ‘A.I.’ host, who is in on the secret, urged the singer to watch ‘EXTRA’ tonight.
If that is the case then the best thing that could have happened to Chris was to get booted off. Fuel is already very well established in the alt-rick genre. Not a bad way to finish up 4th....
On one hand, they blew it with Kelly by telling her that she couldn't make "Breakaway" on her debut album, because they didn't think that those kind of songs would be big sellers. On the other hand, they can't be that retarded that they don't realize they blew it. Can they? I mean, if they recognize how stupid they were, there was a possibility that they would have let a guy who can rock as well as Kelly on that album make an album very similar to it. Throw in a couple of Because of Yous and Breakaways and Beautiful Disasters and then rock hard the rest of the way with turn-up-your-radio tunes like Since U Been Gone and Walk Away.
Had Chris won, do you think his record would be played by ANY , YES ANY ROCK STATION in the nation ? Heck. I'd bet they wouldn't touch him with a ten foot poll tainted with the 19 E disease.
They would have played Breakaway if it were a 19E album. I'm positive.
Now that Chris is well known, he should use this opportunity to take control of his record and career.
And here is the problem with selling your soul to the AI machine --- The non-winners can't sign a contract until 3 months after the AI tour ends. His fans will have to wait awhile for some music. So, you have to wait till next year to hear Chris' record if he comes out with one.
Chris is a songwriter. A pretty good one. Like Kelly Clarkson is. He can start writing songs right now and put them on his album when he's able to.
One other thing (putting on tinfoil hat) - Fuel is a Sony BMG artist right? Winning American Idol is not something endearing to an alternative rock fan. Not to mention that there is not a single solo artist in the genre. Could this have been "scripted"? Works out very perfectly for everyone involved if you ask me.......
Except that Chris would've been more gracious and less surprised about being axed.
Unless he wasn't in it, and we've got secret meetings of the Illuminati somewhere deciding who goes....
WHAT IF Taylor really was surprised and TPTB on Idol were HOPING he would BLOW IT, BIGTIME.
