| Chris is Taking Heat from Rival Fans |
He is obviously seasoned and a fantastic rock performer.
But now he is catching some flak over a rendition of a Johnny Cash tune that he performed last week.
AP is reporting that "American Idol" chat rooms were buzzing Friday over a controversy surrounding Chris Daughtry's version of "I Walk the Line. Judges praised Daughtry for making the song his own when he performed the Johnny Cash tune on the Fox network show.
But some fans say the version wasn't Daughtry's, but ripped off from one done by the band Live in 2001.

Will this be enough to derail the popular singer as a budding star?
Hardly.
All of the contestants are doing cover tunes to begin with. And if Daughtry's, was similar to the band "Live singer's Ed Kowalczyk version it's probably because they have similar styles.
This is just rival fans trying to stir the pot.
