hey guys!

ok, i just had a talk with my bestfriend who works in a publishing house and has a contact with someone from People Magazine. according to her, there is already a "tentative" list for the "Sexiest Man Alive" issue. photoshoots and interviews are also being done as we speak. the issue comes out in November and its one of People's biggest issues (along with the Most Beautiful and Bachelors list).

the bad news is Chris is not on that (tentative) list YET. i managed to talk to her contact myself and i asked her what the deal is about that list. according to her, the list they have now are for the "sure ones". they do keep a couple of spots open on those that will be "hot" and have tons of "buzz" specially around late October and early November (i.e. those that have albums coming out, stars of new shows for the fall season, etc). so, that means if we email enough and Chris gets tons of buzz for him (i suspect he's gonna have big buzz when his single comes out), we might have a chance of having him in that list.

We already know that Chris is the sexiest man alive, we just need the others to see that for themselves. bottomline is, let's keep the emails coming!

the one below is our thread about this one. it has all the links to where we should email and have sample letters that we can revise to make it our own. as some suggested, i think its a great idea to include pictures and quotes as to what other people (specially reviewers and writers) are saying about Chris (sex on a stick, etc).

Wow - Thanks for the heads up! I just sent another letter and a photo to the email from before. Yea, we better make some noise. Let's do it, DAUGHTRY NATION!

emailing them as we speak

I've already emailed them twice. Once from before and once recently. How many times should one person email them? I'm sure they need to hear it from a bunch of different people, not just a few. Get emailing people!

do we have somewhere on here that is jsut newspaper reviews from the concert?

There is an "Article Archive" section.

I emailed from a couple different email addresses and I'm getting my friends to email them as well. Come on people, let's make this happen.

I think after sending so many emails before I just figured Chris was in good shape. But this is really a wake up call. We just need to make another "buzz" again.

i'm sending them an e-mail now still, including pics and some parts of his reviews from the concerts

I have already sent one looong time ago, but I'll send a new message now!! We need to get Chris on that list!!

i've sent 2 emails on different accounts...but i'll keep on trying! and even if he doesn't win, we'll all know that the person who does win is a loser:P--because there's only one person who wins when chris is running....

There are tons and tons of threads written by chris fans stating, how sexy and hot Chris is, combined with the hundreds of the OMG photos taken during the concerts or when people have met them. Look in your thread archives, find these statements, include them with the sig names of people who wrote these threads. The more you put in your email the better. Especially send those reviews that state that Chris is sex on a stix, or the "one that should have won" --lets make this happen!!! We're Chris fans, this time nothing is going to stop us!

Please do not email once, send it over and over. Flood that email addy.

that's a good idea...lol. i've actually made my friends e-mail them, and i also made two new e-mail addresses just so i could e-mail them about this!

I'm telling them if they don't believe the fans, take a look at the tour reviews!
And, of course I have to throw in a couple of my favorite pics

CHRIS DAUGHTRY AI TOUR REVIEWS 2006

“Daughtry proved that he's by far the most talented performer in Idol history. He sent the throngs into a frenzy with a thunderous cover of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. The guy can flat-out sing, and his unique heavy-metal wail has a cool trilly effect that sets him apart.”
By Sean Daly- Petersburg Times - August 7, 2006

“Returning from intermission is a real treat, as Chris Daughtry takes the stage. He begins his set with “Whole Lotta Love” and moves smoothly into “Wanted Dead or Alive,” which is now Chris Daughtry’s signature song. I enjoyed the way he involved the crowd, by asking us to sing the chorus, and he seemed to be totally enjoying himself. I have read someone describe Chris as having “rock-god pipes.” I have to agree; he is a true star in the making (and he’s even hotter in person, ladies). After performing “Renegade,” Chris begins the opening of “Savin’ Me” and is joined on stage by Elliott Yamin for a duet. This duet is far and away one of the best of the entire show…..”
By Shirley Kennedy - The National Ledger - August 10, 2006

“Most likely to succeed: Based on audience feedback, fourth-place finisher Chris Daughtry may be poised for the biggest post-Idol career. It doesn't hurt that the guy is sex on a stick -- parents should probably cover the wee ones' ears and eyes during his cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" -- but he's also the most polished, confident performer of the bunch. His "Wanted Dead or Alive" was a tasty slice of arena rock, and his duet with Elliott Yamin on Nickelback's "Savin' Me" was the night's best (and I'm not even a fan of the original).”
By Michael Slezak - EW.com – July 14, 2006

“But their screeches crescendoed into the eardrum-shattering range in the second half, which kicked off with doleful rocker Chris Daughtry, the man many thought should have won the top title. He delivered “Whole Lotta Love,” “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Renegade” with his signature combination of fire and feeling. ……. Yamin/Daughtry duet was a polished performance that launched the show to new heights.”
By Nancy Sheehan - Telegram & Gazette Staff (Worchester, NY) - July 8, 2006

“Daughtry's got a great voice, abundant charisma and a compelling personality, ……, roared magnificently on Styx's "Renegade" and Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive." He and Elliott Yamin provided the best duet of the night with a Nickelback tune….”
By Steve Barnes - Times Union (Albany, NY) - July 12, 2006

“….Rolling through Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" and Styx's "Renegade" with an icy cool confidence, Daughtry was at ease on stage and managed to deliver the goods vocally. His rocker poses seemed unforced and natural..”
By Adam Graham - Detroit News Pop Music Writer – August 17, 2006

“As the red footlights dimmed, fourth-place finisher Chris Daughtry, who many felt deserved to win, put his rock-god pipes to good use with a driving, powerful rendition of Led Zepplin’s “Whole Lotta Love” and played an acoustic guitar during an equally excellent version of Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive.””
By Colin McEvoy - The Vault with The Patriot-News - July 12, 2006

Holy cow! Now that's a picture...drooling...

Thanks for digging up those quotes Annie.

I need to get some emails going!!!!

i love all those quotes you shared sterling! they're awesome!

I'll send some too!! will it count if I send them emails from over here?

SENT A NEW EMAIL TODAY

I'm going to email them too. Maybe once Chris gets more photo shoots out there for the world to see People mag will take notice.

wow, now this is Daughty Nation in action! like what D said, this was really a wake-up call for all of us. but im betting its not yet too late. i'll try to fish out some more details as the days past (that is if she doesn't ban my calls for too much asking, lol ). the good side is, i asked her last night how Daughtry is to the People staff and she said that they're "hot" for him, so i'll take that as a good sign. in the meantime, im off to shoot more emails.

I just sent another email and this time I let out all of my inner most feelings for Chris! No holding back! So he'll either make it to their cover or someone will be here tomorrow to take me away.

Well, even if he doesn't make it into contention for the Sexiest Man alive, with all the buzz they're getting on him, I'm sure that they'll have to cover him prominently somewhere in the issue- especially with the release of his album in the same month. Go Chris!

amen!

i'm about to send my emails =]

Here's my pitch... People are Speaking! Why is Chris Daughtry the sexiest man alive?

Dear People Editor:

I would like to suggest that Chris Daughtry be on the list for the Sexist Man Alive.

Why?

He was the 'Favorite Idol' on the #1 TV show American Idol even through he didn't win. It made TV shocker history. (Of all the American Idol contestants on the American Idol Concert Tour across the country, he got the LOUDEST applauses and screams. His songs are the most downloaded of all Idols). Does this not shout out SEXY?

He is an incredibly talented artist - songwriter and singer with a crisp, clear, melodic and yep, sexy voice. THAT IS SEXY. His CD is coming out on Nov 21st and it will be hitting the top of the charts and just in time for your sexiest man alive publication!!!!

He is very genuine and sincere, and is very appreciative and cares about his fans - he's accessible. THAT IS SEXY

He is not egotistical but a real high integrity man with a HUGE heart that stands by who he is and doesn't compromise. THAT IS SEXY.

He is a wonderful husband and family man, and knows what is important in life. THAT IS SEXY.

What else could a woman ask for?

Any scoop on what has happened with this project? Did Chris make the list?
