daughtry works with more fucking songwriters than katy perry…and the end result is about the same.

No, I was referring to Daughtry.

I am not saying — and never said — Daughtry can’t sing. He’s decent enough, but he’s clearly not a phenomenal vocal talent, like Mariah Carey or Jeff Buckley or whoever.

And to me, there’s a BIG difference between opening yourself to other songwriters and needing their “guidance” (your term, not mine) — it’s the same difference between being able to fix your own car vs. needing the ‘guidance’ of a mechanic.

Lastly, how do you know my 5 year old can’t sing? Actually, he can’t, but I never said that he could — only that he could write a hit with that much help (which was kinda the whole point).

I’m old school and know I’m alone on this and that’s fine. Just adding my two cents.

Jalan: If your 5 year old could write a hit, what are you waiting for buddy? Do it or shut it.

I think Jalan is referring to Settings, not Daughtry.

jalan, stop being a hater. Your 5 year old cant sing and secondly if you don’t think Daughtry can sing, you must be tone deaf.

Daughtry can sing just about anything and he can sing LIVE.

also, Daughtry writes most of his songs with the guidance of the most talented people in the biz. If your going to trash Daughtry for opening himself for additional songwriters, then you must not like the multitude of classic rock bands who wrote with people outside of their band.

Also, having a great a voice is just a small part of the equation.

My five year old could write a hit with that many pros helping him. If you need EIGHT established songwriters to come up with TEN to TWELVE songs for your disc, you shouldn’t have a deal (unless your voice is outrageously good - his isn’t). Another manufactured star. Lucky for him he’s pretty.
