American Idol: Chris Daughtry Covers Foreigner Song for CNN Voting Initiative

BuddyTV - Seattle,WA,USA -

American Idol and politics.  They don't really go together.  Yes, there are some politics within any specific American Idol season, but on a national level, there's not much.  I could try and argue some far-fetched point about who you supported last season (David Cook or David Archuleta) says something about your political leanings, but no one wants that.  Chris Daughtry, the most famed runner-up in American Idol history, is entering the realm of national politics in a roundabout sort of way.
Daughtry has teamed up with CNN to create the theme song for the cable news networks' League of First Time Voters initiative. League of First Time Voters is meant to get first time voters excited and motivated for November's presidential election between Barack Obama and John McCain.  For the initiative, Daughtry recorded his own take on Foreigner's 1977 hit “Feels Like the First Time.”

Daughtry recorded his version of the song in April, with the blessing of Mick Jones, member of Foreigner and the man who wrote “Feels Like the First Time.”  Daughtry's version will appear on the upcoming re-release of his debut album Daughtry, which sold 400 billion copies worldwide.
