Hi all.I've done my share of 'Adam bashing' on this board. Wednesday night while watching the return of Taylor Hicks to Idol, I came to a realization that i want to share.
Back in Season 5 when Taylor Hicks first auditioned, i was mesmerized by his vocals, his performance, and just him being him. I backed this guy from day one and took a lot of heat on this board because some people 'just didn't get' Taylor. What i saw was a guy that lived and breathed this music. It was a part of him from birth, and he just had this natural soul that came through effortlessly when he sang. He became one with the music and his performance and i just loved it.
I can understand how some people see Adam as just like that, even though I don't 'get him'. Taylor was, and still is, just as polarizing as Adam seems to be. Even though i don't get him and his fanbase, i can relate because i was in that boat for Season 5.
A big part of me is rooting for one of the other three to win, but there is a part me of that remembers season 5 and how much i became emotionally attached to Taylor. For all his fans, i will be happy if he pulls it off.
