American Idol finalist, Chris Daughtry recently signed a recording deal with RCA Records/19Recordings. 19Recordings is a company run by the producer of American Idol, Simon Fuller. Often 19Recordings links up with RCA Records, as Clive Davis works with American Idol on backing many Idol finalists.

There has been a widespread press release issued on behalf of those labels about the signing of Chris. In the release, there is mention of Chris having collaborated with Ed in the past six weeks. The AP release has been picked up by hundreds of newspapers around the country and I've seen it on paper sites as far away as Malaysia.

Just a little more public mention of Live and perhaps a prompt to get those unfamiliar with the band to put the info in Google. Maybe more fans interested in Live's works.

Here is the paragraph in the release which mentions Ed and Live:

"'This won't be a pop album,' he said. Over the past six weeks, Daughtry has been writing new songs and collaborating with some major artists, including Ed Kowalczyk of Live and Fuel's Carl Bell. He also plans to collaborate with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and other major artists, Daughtry said."

A couple things....

1) If I was going to drop names, I would not drop Ed or Carl Bell. If anything Ed and Carl will name drop Chris.

2) Chris is far bigger than Live and Fuel. Over the rest of time, he could outsell these 2 bands in the US.

That is a pretty bold statement. Chris is 26 years old and hasn't done jack yet. By the time Ed was 26 years old, his band put out 4 albums and sold over 15 million records. Right now, Chris is huge in the US because of a reality show. He has a lot to prove before you put him in the same sentence as Ed K. or Carl Bell.

I meant from this point forward. Not overall. I based the statement on Live's pitiful sales in the US. If that trend continues, he could very well sell more than LIve and Fuel. Live may not even sell 1 million records in the US.

Then thats a realistic statement. I can see Daughtry's first CD selling pretty well in the US. And who knows what Live's next move will be. I guess we'll see.

I can't see Fuel doing much in the future either. They lost a lot of fans when they lost Bret.
