DAUGHTRY Live in Malaysia

So Chris Daughtry was in town to perform for the Sony Ericsson Traffic Jams Street Party. Its really exciting to finally see your American Idol whom you previously supported (but got kicked out) finally make his way to our Malaysian shores.

The whole Street PArty accomodated about 3,000 people and the only way in, was through invites and of course through hitz.fm. The only bitch about the concert was that the fact that it was raining but i guess that didn't come between the fans and the band.

Attended the Press Conference which was at One World Hotel

Among all the questions thrown at the band, there was one question which was asked to Chris

Question: You were able to work with one of the best Guitarist in the world and that is former Guns N Roses guitar legend, Slash, what was it like working with him?

Chris: I was disappointed really, mainly because when i met him he was wearing a baseball cap and his fro or big hair was gone, i was really expecting him to be in a Top Hat like how he usually was on stage when performing.....wait that doesn't quite answer your question doesn't it?

The whole band was very down to earth despite being known to be a Grammy Nominated, AMA Awards winning band who sold over 4 million albums in 2007. Now for some concert pictures
And Daughtry fans, look out because during the concert Daughtry played a couple of new songs. Look out for a new album early 2009 (quoted by Chris). Here's a video short to show you what the concert was like

Live And Loud 2007: Elliott Yamin

Elliot Yamin made his debut appearance in Malaysia at the Live and Loud '07 concert. Elliott is no stranger to the world with his latest hit single "Wait For You", which is airing on your local radio stations (particularly hitz.fm and MIX fm). i was handling a couple of winners who won meet and greet passes with the stars. We only managed to meet Elliot Yamin though because Whitney and Shaggy denied their meet and greet sessions.
so there he was, standing right in front of tent obligingly answering questions from the interviewers. he never turned down a request for a quick photo with him and was more than happy to interact with his fans. he is a lot shorter in person (maybe because i'm just tall), and also smaller, but fortunately, not his voice.

Elliott came on stage to perform at about 7.30pm, giving a full fledge up beat performance like he normally does on Idol and ending his set with his latest single "wait for you" which got the crowd singing along with him.
Elliott is a great example of and individual who is dedicated and passionate about what he does. Elliott Yamin is 90% deaf in his right ear and was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes at the age of 16. But that doesn't stop him from pursuing his dream as an artiste, which finally paid off after joining American Idol.

damn i look weird
