If we were to snoop around your room, what would we find? Do you have any celebrity crushes? Is there a picture of Amy Winehouse on your desktop? Is there a shot of Brad Pitt on the inside of a door?

People like to hide pictures of their crushes in private places. TV shows about students often show them putting pictures of people they like on the inside of their locker.

How many lockers around the world do you think have a picture of Chris Daughtry on the inside? Even though he didn’t win American Idol, he’s the second most popular musician to appear on the show. His band, Daughtry, also made one of the most successful albums of last year.

And…he’s cute. Don’t beleive us? Ask Kevin about it. Amanda did.

Kevin:  So did you have fun last night at the game night at my place?

Amanda:  It was so fun. And I have a little bit of a confession.

Kevin:  What? What?

Amanda:  I was sneaking around your room and in your closet trying on some of your jeans, and…

Kevin:  Oh no…

Amanda:  I saw a Chris Daughtry poster on the inside of your closet. What’s up with that?

Kevin:  Um…well…it’s sort of my secret, like, musical crush.

Amanda:  I think that’s cool because no one really knows about him.

Kevin:  Well, I didn’t know any of my friends knew about him but apparently you do so…It’s okay, though.

Amanda:  I do.

Kevin:  He’s really talented. Like, he’s really, I think, an amazing artist.

Amanda:  He’s very raw and he has the additional talent of playing the guitar which a lot of the winners of American Idol...it’s just vocal. Not that that’s not something to be proud of, but you know.

Kevin:  I just think he’s really talented. Very attractive.

Amanda:  Obviously. Inside of the closet door. That’s pretty good placement, I think, in a room, you know? It’s one notch down from the ceiling.

Kevin:  Well, you know, what can I say? You caught me.

Amanda:  I did.
