Former 'Idol' Hopeful Daughtry Returns to N.C.
(05/30/06 -- GREENSBORO) - "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry is set to return home to North Carolina this weekend.
Supporters calling themselves "The Friends of Chris Daughtry" say the McCleansville rocker will sign autographs Saturday morning at the McLeansville Shopping Center.
Daughtry is then scheduled to make an appearance at Macpherson Stadium in Greensboro from two to four in the afternoon.
Those who attend that appearance will be asked at the gate to make a five dollar donation for the Children's Home Society.
Daughtry worked at a Greensboro car dealership before rising to the finals of the widely popular T-V talent show. He was voted off this month.
Daughtry says he's now considering whether to pursue fronting an established rock band or launching a solo career.
Also check out his band absent element website. At the top right corner click on absent element audio player. You can listen to Christ with his band and the songs he wrote. If you do tell me what you think.

OH wow thanks!! Gonna watch it now.
OK, just watched this with my 16 yr old daughter and both are fanning ourselves LOL. From my daughter OH MAN HE's HOT. Thanks so much for the link!! LOL booked marked this one.
It's his single off the AI Season 5 album.
Oh, and I think it was his very first song sung for the purpose of getting voted to go on another week (back when he was 1 of 12 guys).
Dead or Alive has been in the top 20 on iTunes for several weeks. It's been as high as #7, or so I've read.
That's part of the Encore american idol Cd that came out just last week.
Well, I did something crazy. I booked a last minute package to North Carolina. Mrs. DFU and I will see Absent Element's concert on Saturday. I hope to get a story published and will be attending the news conferenc on Saturday morning. Are any other FReepers going to be there?
Well, no FReeper response. I am on my own.
I'm sure his talent could ride on the plane with him but his ego had to ride in the cargo hold.
I met him this weekend and talked to many townspeople about him. You have no idea of what you speak.
