Shoving His Tail Between His Legs

Filed under: American Idol > Chris Daughtry

That was quick!

Chris Daughtry is doing damage control over his harsh criticism of American Idol.

The singer just posted the following on his official blog:

" I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm…..Just being honest!
Sorry

It's so sad that when you're asked something and you answer honestly….you're made out to be the bad guy. Yes, I'm referring to the Rolling Stone post. The funny thing is, if you heard the whole conversation you would've heard all the good things I said about the show as well. Like for instance: How it's an amazing platform to launch a career….."If you take it seriously!!!!" Let's not forget I was a struggling artist for 11 years that never got any respect or notoriety so know that I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity that Idol gave me. And that's where my comments came from. It all started when the interviewer (who was great by the way) asked me where the "Idol stigma everyone talks about" comes from. Ya know….the reason people never take anyone from the show serious in the real world and why people say "oh they came from AI, they're not real artists." So, I answered that I don't feel that enough "artists" try out for the show because of how many people they focus on that are obviously there for comedic and entertainment value. And when you focus enough on people that aren't serious about it then it's hard for the audience to take you as an artist serious. And it's also hard as a potential contestant to think it's a good way to get seen because you're afraid of being made a joke of. I also said I think it's AWESOME that they are letting the contestants play their own instruments and that I feel that will show something in the contestants that people (the audience) never get to see….but that wasn't printed. My long winded point is this….I was never trying to "DISS" the show or "BITE THE HAND THAT FED ME" so to speak. I was simply giving my input on what I think would spice the show up a bit.
Sorry for being honest. God bless!-Chris"

    thats not tail between legs that is setting the record straight…. he didnt say what was ripped out of context. As much as I do love my gossip, making it up and taking it out of context is a no no.

    I don't really care about Chris but what he said happens to all artists who give interviews. Even mags like Rolling Stone pick and choose what they print from the interview and they print things out of context to make it perposely sound worse then what the artist said. They also never print when an artist is saying something as a joke. They print it as being serious then everyone goes, "oh what a cocky bastard or bitch" even though they were joking. This world is going to hell in a handbasket.
