“American Idol” chat rooms are buzzing over a controversy surrounding Chris Daughtry’s version of “I Walk the Line.”
Judges praised Daughtry for making the song his own when he sang it on the last episode. But some fans say the version was not his own, but ripped off from a version done by the band Live in 2001.
One fan posted a message saying “I just want to punch him in his bald head.”
Another message reads “This guy is a rip off. Judges are plain dumb.”
And a third message reads “Live singer Ed Kowalczyk called and said that he would like his vocal style” back.
