Chris Daughtry made his long-awaited homecoming appearances today in the Triad, showing up first in the small town of McLeansville, and then performing with his band, Absent Element, in Greensboro.
Let me first say that Daughtry's live performances were heart-felt, intense and demonstrated some serious vocal power.
I'll admit that I often complained about the vibrato that could be heard on the show, but I didn't hear it at all during the live performances today.
He performed two songs acoustically in McLeansville, including "Dead or Alive," and performed for approximately 30-45 minutes with his band in Greensboro - mostly original songs.
It was worth the wait for many fans - some of whom drove from as far as Florida and Ohio.
At the McLeansville ceremony, Daughtry and his family were given a handful of presents, including a brand-new Harley Davidson motorcycle, a few iPods, a trip to Cancun and a number of "I (heart) McLeansville" t-shirts.
The Greensboro event saw Daughtry get a few honorary titles and certificates from local and state dignitaries and politicians.
He'll be back on the Idol Tour in July, but it probably wont' have the heavy edge that his performances today showed.
