Can’t wait for Daughtry to perform new single "No Surprise" on American Idol tonight? Then you can now listen to it on the band’s website. Can’t listen to the track because the website is attracting too much traffic (as was the case when I tried)? Then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t check out the cover below by, well, some dude called Tom Clark. Actually, I suspect Chris Daughtry could probably come up with a thousand reasons why you should hear his band’s version first. But Mr Clark’s take does seem to give you the general gist of the track, and goodness knows he gets extra points for the speed with which he learned the song.
So what do you think of "No Surprise"? And does anyone prefer Tom’s version?

Great Song! So so pumped about Daughtry’s new album.
Who wants to bet this will be next year’s “elimination song”.

Tom
Stay in school and learn a trade. Play the guitar for fun.
After one listen from Daugthry’s site, I am a little underwhelmed. The song may grow on me after a few listens, but “No Surprise” did not grab me in the way the singles did from Daughtry’s first album did.
FLOVE the new single. Love Daughtry. But it’s obvious the tools at EW don’t.
Wow… way to make fun of a teenager. You guys are so cool…
His original music is mad good though.

Tom Clark is DND (definitely not daughtry)!!
The only thing Tom did wrong was he chose the wrong song. The song is a snooze. Don’t let the haters get you down, Tom. Keep playing and singing. I think your voice is very pleasant and you’ll get better with experience.
this is not a good song remix and it stinks! Sweetheart maybe you should not sing” this what kara would say
