Rocker Chris Daughtry is dishing out some pretty harsh criticism on the eve of the show's seventh-season premiere.
The show is in a "state of decline," he says in this Rolling Stone article.
Daughtry finished fourth, but has since gone on to significantly outsell his fifth-season counterparts. That season's winner and runner up -- Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee -- just lost their record contracts.
Daughtry's not the first contestant to speak out against the show. I remember Jennifer Hudson in particular saying some negative things about "Idol" around the time of her Oscar buzz last year.
How do you feel about former contestants criticizing the show? Is it OK, or should they just be grateful that "Idol" got them on the entertainment radar?

They're bitter that they didn't make it all the way.. which is understandable. But they also knew that coming in, and they knew it wasn't going to necessarily make or break them. So I think they shouldn't criticize the show. It really did get them in the public eye, so they should shut it.
