Last night at the American Music Awards, American Idols took home the lion’s share of trophies, and both Chris Daughtry and Carrie Underwood were ”overwhelmed” at their respective levels of success - they each were part of an individual awards parade! However, I was let down by Carrie’s award acceptance speeches - she just didn’t seem all that excited to me. Each of the three times she won, Carrie would walk up and be handed the award, then she would flash a smile, thank a couple of people, and walk off - very anticlimactic.

Chris Daughtry, the lead singer for the band Daughtry, said backstage:

“The show didn’t make me who I am,” he said. “It just gave me a chance to show everybody else who I am.”
