What did you expect to find?

American Idol may soon experience its first Hemorrhage.

Chris Daughtry, the contestant who has wowed the crowd with his renditions of Wanted Dead or Alive and Hemorrhage, has also lit a fire under the band Fuel, the artists behind last week’s song selection. Reportedly, they’ve been so impressed with his talent that they’re ready to offer him the job as their new lead singer, a role vacated in February by Brett Scallions. A report on Access Hollywood quotes judge Randy Jackson confirming the rumor, saying, "Chris just got offered to be in the band Fuel, the lead singer is gone so they are trying to get it together."

But despite its promise, it’s not a done deal. Prior to Chris’s performance, Fuel had already launched a search for a new lead singer, promoting it on their web site (http://www.fuelweb.com/) and encouraging hopefuls to send in tapes of their performances. And Chris himself is contractually bound to Idol for the time being, so extricating himself may prove tricky. Perhaps he could Sway the judges into replacing him with a former contestant?
