I've already admitted I don't watch American Idol, so I missed contestant Chris Daughtry's supposedly SHOCKING boot from the competition. But I do find today's headlines hilarious. Rock band Fuel, in need of a lead singer since Brett Scallions quit in February, wants Chris to fill the role. Desperately.
Bassist Jeff Abercrombie and guitarist Carl Bell went on Extra yesterday with the offer (one they made earlier in the season): "Chris, if you are watching ... we've talked about this before and if you want to entertain it again we'll take it and go." Chris' response: "I'm flattered. You know, I don't want to say yes, and I don't want to say no right now."
Fuel can't even land a reject from American Idol. That means YOUR chances are pretty good. Audition here.
An established group replacing its lead singer via reality TV = always lame. We're looking at you INXS.
If you don't know who Fuel are -- they sang "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)." No I won't post the MP3.
