    Chris Daughtry Takes Break-Up OK

    Good song with a positive message. Not my personally favorite, but Chris Daughtry handles things without curse words, being disrespectful, and offending listeners, which is awesome. Just not my favorite, but it's for children, too. At least children that are interested.

    READ THIS!

    If anyone thinks this song is piece of cr-p, then you have no taste in music. Also, this song is sad, yet tells you something. So, to jumanji lover, why bother looking this song up if you're just gonna trash it? ANOTHER 4 MINUTES WASTED WRITING YOUR REVIEW!

    I rate this title on for age 7 and give it 1.0

    Sounds like EVERY OTHER SONG he's sang

    Chris Daughtry's songs are very similar to teen's excuses: You get the same thing OVER and OVER. I don't listen to this unoriginal fool, but I was scanning MTV and nothing else was on. 4 minutes of my life wasted.
