Not tonight,honey


Not tonight,honey Daughtry's "Feels like tonight" fails to inspire the passionate feelings it's supposed to be about. Chris Daughtry,as a person,is the humble American Idol competitor who didn't win. Hand it to him for being a nice guy. Unfortunately,"Feels like tonight" shows him being a Nickelback soundalike. There's nothing distinctive or personal about it. Not tonight. There's no feeling in it.
Feels Like "Over You" Alright, Daughtry is definitely not as good as I thought he was. In fact, he might be the most unoriginal guy in modern rock to come around in quite awhile, and that's saying something. However, this time he doesn't sound like another artist, he sounds like his bad self, or more specifically, "Over You" which was his previous single. Anybody else see something wrong with this picture? And yet, he rules rock radio.
The verses are mediocre at best, and the chorus on its short run on radio is already annoying the heck out of me. It just doesn't seem real, like it's a half-hearted effort or something; something to please the record labels. Chris's vocals are stellar as always, but contrary to popular belief, the song itself makes for most of its success, and this one is made, but it's in pieces taped together in a quick effort to please a record executive.
