Love, love LOVE him!However, I am SO FAR off the mark as a 'target' AI watcher that my favorites rarely get far (I usually lose interest & stop watching around final 6-7). Last year was fun because Bo was my fave, and it was the first time I cared all the way to the end. *sigh* I guess they don't think 40 yr old women with extremely diverse musical interests buy CDs. (but I have more $$ than 14 year old girls!) I'm cautiously optimistic, however, that popular music has been moving away from the Boys & Girls Club lately (at glacial speed). Maybe more unique people will advance this year! Go Taylor!!

I agree with you Tamarama, that more than just teeny boppers watch and love AI and we 40+ chicks buy CDs and don't download from the Internet -- so guess where that money comes from -- hard sales that's where.So far here were my picks for each season: 1. Kelly Clarkson right from the start. My favorite perfomance for her was when she did the 40's song -- she looked and sounded great. Don't ask which song it was -- I'm having a mind freeze at the moment! 2. Clay Aiken (right from the start, who was the other guy!!? Don't see or hear much about him anymore. 3. Fantasia & Dianna DeGarmo were neck and neck for me 4. Bo Bice was my pick from the start, although Carrie Underwood was definitely my favorite female as she has a beautiful voice.

Hey Guys, I have to agree with you guys. I am a 46 year old guy who loves to watch AI and I even took my mother to see their tour last year,by the way was terrible. I believe that Bo should have won last year if you were really voting on vocals as well as performance. I did not like Carrie at all and still do not. I even think Vonzell should have won over her. Grant you Vonzells vocals were not as strong as Carries,but performance wise I love watching Vonzell and she always made me smile watching her perform. I think this year we have alot of strong vocals and I am excited to see what the outcome will be this year. Love Taylor and do beleive he will be in the finals! I think since they have raised the age limit last year as well as Bo opening the door to a new group of voters we will see a difference in the outcome! Atleast I am hoping so. I thought last nights performance by the girls was awfull and I hope the guys learned something. I felt like they all were working to hard on being sexy and woriking the camere wich took away from their vocal performance. Looking forward to tonights mens competition and your feedback tomorrow! So untill then ...Kodi

24. "RE: Any Taylor Hicks fans out there?" |
>>song choice is going to be mega mega mega important for him<<Agree, but I think his age & experience will help him with this. He's not some 17 yr old kid trying to find himself, he likely knows what works for him & what won't. Like Bo last year -- who managed to twist each genre just enough to fit HIM instead of twisting himself to fit the genre. (OK, except for musical theater week...I don't care if you don't know the genre, NEVER choose a song by sticking a pin in a list. Oy vey.) I think Taylor will not only prove he can pick the right songs, but I think he (and any of the more mature contestants) will be more true to himself from week to week. Thank god they upped the age limit last year. (BTW, I thought I posted a comment like this earlier but now I can't find it. Probably user error, but please forgive me if I've duplicated myself.)

I like him too! Unfortunately, I think if he wants to get far he will need a makeover. Its not so much the grey hair as he just looks old and unkempt. I think a hair cut would do him good. I am rooting for him to go far.

Hi All – if all y’all are interested I found a website with photos of TH when he must have done some performances with a band down in Alabama. They're from 2002 and he looks younger and somewhat thinner. He looks great. So it seems he’s been hoofin’ around for awhile – maybe AI is what he needs to give his career the exposure he needs. That's what Bo Bice needed and he got it from AI. Hope it works! I think he could do really well. http://www.furtherimages.com/gallery55.htm

Taylor Hicks brings me back to being a child and sitting on my grandmother's front porch in Louisiana. Somebody had a guitar and somebody had a harmonica and we just sat and sang all Sunday afternoon. I love his passion for the music, not the camera, but the music. I hope he, at the very least, makes it far enough to get a deal for a record.

Taylor Hicks, in my opinion, is PRECISELY what American Idol is made for.AI doesn't need to produce another Whitney, or another Britney, etc. AI needs to find that hidden talent, the unique voices out there, those people that are not your cookie-cutter POP MUSIC types. Clay Aiken needed AI in the same way. I think in a lot of ways, AI NEEDS Taylor. Taylor Hicks would be a pot of Gold for AI. I think he'll make it far, if not even to the finale. geekboy

I was thinking the exact same thing and the wife and I both said when he came on and started singing "I cant wait for his album to come out! Win or lose this thing,Ill buy it!!" That guys just got it! And yes, He's a breath of fresh air and somthing totally unique. Joe Cocker, Ray Charles and Michael McDonald all rolled inot one VERY neat package!! GO TAYLOR!!! PS: My ONLY concern is that he will have to be VERY careful in his song selections.So far he's been spot on but I have to wonder if there are enough songs out there available for him to be able to keep doing what makes him great. Carrie Underwood was my fav last year but she did struggle thru songs that werent really suited to her Country,Gospel style.

This old granny just turned 55 and I gotta say the first time I saw Taylor sing (during his audition) I immediately thought of Joe Cocker who is one of my all time faves. I loved when he walked into the long, long room to find out if he was in the top 12 men playing his harmonica. I love Taylor and I will be rooting for him all the way through. He is so unique and such a wonderful breath of fresh air. He is the first AI that I would pay to hear sing right now!!!! GO Taylor!!!!!

LAST EDITED ON 03-08-06 AT 01:28 PM (EST)I'm with you, brvnkrz. I find him to be ordinary and wouldn't buy his CD. Of course, this is only my opinion; CD sales after the show (if he gets a contract) will show how popular he actually is, and I predict he won't get a lot of airplay. His voice is good, but not great. By the way, someone else mentioned (on another locked thread) that he looks just like George Clooney. Now, I need to make this very, very clear: TAYLOR HICKS BEARS NO RESEMBLANCE TO GEORGE CLOONEY WHATSOEVER.

>Would love the info, I would >buy a Taylor Hicks CD >anyday. Here it is: Laser's Edge Compact Discs Birmingham, Alabama 1-800-626-6495 www.lasersedge.com The CD is titled "Taylor Hicks - Under the Radar" and is listed as a local independent release. They have added an online ordering option. It's their number one seller right now. Would be funny if he sold a million copies of an independent CD before he got a record contract. (DISCLAIMER: I have absolutely NOTHING to do with the sale/advertising/promotion of this CD ... simply a fan that found this on the internet and wanted to share with other fans .. read the guidelines and think I'm safe, just wanted to state the facts)

IMHO, Taylor seems like a nice guy who has a lot of drive.I just don't think he's an incredible talent, unless he has the ability to write his own songs, like bob seger or neil young. Someone mentioned in an earlier locked post that he looks like George Clooney. Although he has a definite look, here is NO WAY he looks like George Clooney. Vocally, he's not a great singer ( you'd know this is you put his personality aside and just listened with your eyes closed), but he has character, and he'll definitely make it to future rounds. Overall, I agree with Simon's words. He is truly honest. We need to set our sexual urges aside and just LISTEN. Ace sucks, and so do most of the contentants.

From the minute I saw him during the auditions I fell in love. I just cannot believe he's as young as he is. Not only is his hair grey, but his mannerisms and such makes him look very mature.His voice is fanstastic and it sticks out for me. My final 2 this season? Taylor Paris (Yes, I like the other girl too, the big one (sorry can't remember her name) but I really think Paris will last a lot longer and is the essence of SPUNK!

I know I am probably in the minority on this thread, but there is something about Taylor Hicks that I find downright creepy. I can't quite put my finger on it - maybe it's the jerky, spastic movements he makes or the immature way he jumps around the stage. He may have a very good voice, but I can hardly stand to watch him to tell you the truth. To me he is not American Idol material at all. I predict that Chris will be the next AI.

I'm a Taylor Hicks fan. He has a great voice and a personality. However, i watch American Idol every single week with my friends and we are always laughing our @$$es off at that head/neck tilt to the side thing he does. It makes him look crazy. It bugs us so bad. He does it at least 3 times an episode, count.... Thats my only complaint about him.

Definitely a huge Taylor Hicks fan. The first time I saw him in auditions, I didn't really know what to think, but I admit, I've fallen totally in love with his passion for music. I find his gestures endearing and they make Taylor, well, Taylor! While I think there are other great singers in this group (Mandisa, Chris, Paris-although I'm tired of HER already, Elliot and Katheryn), Taylor brings something so unique to this competition and to the world. I love how comfortable he is with himself, how genuine he is, and how he loves what he does. I would imagine if 90% of the U.S. got on stage and did those same types of moves, we'd be completely embarassed, but Taylor? No way...it just fits him. I love that...it's completely natural for him, and just how he expresses a portion of his passion. I'm absolutely buying his CD, no doubt about that. I've always loved Michael McDonald, even back in the Doobie Brothers days, and Taylor brings a touch of Michael's style with him. The judges said they were looking for unique talent...they certainly got it with Taylor. I'd love it if he took the whole thing!

I loved the song that Taylor sung last night. Does anyone know the name and what artist? I was glad that Taylor stood still and just sung the song. I find it a little distracting when he jumps around and I was glad to just listen to his vocals, which I thought were great. I think he was trying to listen to the judges feedback. The last few weeks Simon was telling him that he looked like a drunk Uncle at a wedding, so I think he wanted to show a more serious side.

Funny, I was the last one here a few weeks ago to say Taylor was great last night! I think the Rod Stewart song was perfect for him. He gave one of the best performances of the night and it was truly entertaining. He reminds me of Rod the way he jerks around on stage while he is singing. Last night was the first time I thought Taylor could actually win this thing! (and I haven't been voting for him as my "favorite")

LAST EDITED ON 04-21-06 AT 04:29 PM (EST)It was quite funny. It was during the news segment with Tina Fey asking questions of "Taylor". The guy playing him was Jason Sudeikis. He did lots of "Wooo" and "Hey", and "Soul Patrol!" and jerking his body around. It was cute and funny, a nice parody of the real thing. He did have the movements down pat! ETA the actor's name.

I hear you Captain. As I said, he really has not been one of my "favorites". When the jerkiness gets excessive it bugs me, too! I'm sure it is exactly what some people really like about him, but for us it's a weird distraction. My positive comments refer to the times in which vocally, he nailed the song. I think there is no doubt he is a talented singer, but I'm not sure people will be voting in mass for his whole persona. It will be interesting to see.
