For ‘Idol’ alum Chris Daughtry, success was a long time coming

Chris Daughtry failed to win the “Idol” crown, but his accomplishments are much greater than some of the champs.

Daughtry arguably has achieved more than any other “Idol” runner-up. Daughtry, which is the name of his band, has sold more album copies than any “Idol” alum with the exception of Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, who won their seasons. His 2006 eponymous debut album, which is the fastest-selling debut rock album in Soundscan history, has gone quadruple platinum.

‘Technicolor Dreamcoat’ dazzles

The North Shore Music Theatre may have done “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” a few years back, but it wasn’t this “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, ” that’s for sure.

And for those wondering, yes Fedorov can really sing. He renders the Andrew Lloyd Webber score with feeling, hitting all the notes, without becoming too melodramatic and operatic, which is always a temptation and a danger with Lloyd Webber songs.

As a bonus, Fedorov looks good bare-chested and Rachel Rak, as the seductress Mrs. Potiphar, has the legs to break down any man’s willpower — if you like that kind of thing.

Fans of the popular Fox show “So You Think You Can Dance” have many memorable moments from Season 5, such as the duet between Melissa Sandvig and Ade Obayomi, “This Woman’s Work.”

Sandvig, who comes Monday to the Mohegan Sun to perform a free show with Brandon Bryant, was the first classically trained dancer to make it to the top 10 on the show.

Teen Choice Awards feels growing pains

If there’s anyone who understands the reliability of the average squealing teenager, it’s Bob Bain. The executive producer of the Teen Choice Awards, which airs Monday on Fox, says that when Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers were initially hot, “You could rely on screaming 13-year-olds” to tune into the broadcast. The same went for the heydays of ‘N Sync and Britney Spears.
