It would be really easy to rip Chris Daughtry apart, frontman for the band Daughtry. First of all, he was an “American Idol” contestant. Next, during the October 14 Phoenix concert at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, he was wearing a T-shirt that read “Corporate Retail Still Sucks.” Daughtry wouldn’t even have the all-time fastest selling rock album debut without corporate retail.

The tour dates and kudos keep on coming for Daughtry, the rock band. They recently added an extra half dozen dates onto their US trek. Last month the band that was formed by Chris Daughtry, “American Idol” finalist, kicked off a major outing of North America.
