When discussing the fact that he either hears that he was robbed of the win or he should have won he says “I’m just gonna be real: I hate hearing it” then continues to go on to say “Get over it, you know, because I’m doing all right.” All right is right; Daughtry’s “Its Not Over” has climbed to number four on the Billboard Hot 100, up from six last week.
