Someone at the Ryan Adams board (no, not me!) started a Taylor Hicks thread, which spawned more Idol discussion. For your amusement...
~~~
Taylor Hicks Is so good! I really hope he wins. I would buy his record. He's got a great soulful voice.
~~~
Taylor is my co-pilot.
~~~
Is that a NASCAR guy?
~~~
Yes. He races for Jesus.
~~~
Well he's alright with me and the Doobie Brothers then.
~~~
haha he does sound like Michael McDonald a bit, but so much better.
~~~
I don't want him to win though. He can come in second, but not number one.
~~~
why not?
~~~
First he'll have to release a sugary single. Then he'll have to rush release an album. I'd like for him to take his time and do his thing.
~~~
Yeah, good pointe. I think he had the most votes last nite
~~~
This one website DialIdol or something tracks each contestant's phone line. Taylor's is always the busiest. The site is a good predictor of who will be in the bottom three.
~~~
They had someone impersonating him on SNL last week. He said Soul Patrol a lot.
~~~
nice..I think he has the "indie" demographic down
~~~
I immitate Taylor all the time. It usually involves me squealing about Soul Patrol.
~~~
Last night's results from Dial Idol:

4-6 Paris Bennett 24.376 1.645 -
7 Ace Young 20.5 1.687 -

My brother likes him. I'd be more of an Ace fan but every time I see him his singing is a little off. I want Paris to win.
~~~
wow..thats pretty surprising actually.
~~~
You just like Ace because he's so dreamy. Don't lie.
~~~
The ending of Taylor's song last nite was just so emotional- I got goosebumps.
~~~
They predicted it like whoa.
~~~
Ace is an attractive man and that is the only reason I like him. I'm not ashamed, I just wish he could sing.
~~~
yeah Ace seems like a nice guy. I do feel bad for him.
~~~
Chris is the one I like least. Anyone who likes Creed is surely a douchebag.
~~~
Words to live by.
~~~
yea chris i dont like very much- My girlfriend always insists that he has a good voice- but i can't get over the creed thing either. Creed is hell on earth.
~~~
It just seems to me like he is always yelling. I don't even want to discuss those S shaped sideburns. Prick.
~~~
hahahah..yeah I dunno. I do not think he will win. Even America as a nation, realizes Creed is the decline of civilization. Creed and GWB
~~~
I just realized which one Chris was. I hate that guy. The blonde chick is hot.
~~~
I think even Dubya hates Creed.
I also hate Kellie Pickler. She is all kinds of retarded.
~~~
She is dumb as a box of rocks. Ace in the suit is hotter. I want Paris to win, Taylor to finish second, the blonde chick to pose in Playboy and Ace to meet me for drinks around 9. Just have someone else do his hair.
~~~
He was certaintly rocking that Crisco ponytail last night. It gave me bad dreams.
~~~
OK, OK, who the fuck is Taylor Hicks? I see him all over here...
~~~
*faints*
~~~
I was watching when it was his turn to sing and I looked him up and down and was really digging it until I looked at his hair. It wasn't that it was slicked back as much as it was still kind of parted in the middle. It just looked wierd.
~~~
(slowly exits)
~~~
Taylor Hicks is our co pilot
~~~
He is the father of my baby. He also ate all the cheese.
~~~
Haha...OK...but who is he?
~~~
He's On Americqan Idol. 28 years old with a head of gray hair.
Ryan is my co-pilot
~~~
He's 29. I should know as I baked him a birthday cake.
~~~
Oh ok. This is the first year in 2 years I haven't had a girlfriend while American Idol is on, so I'm relishing my freedom...not being forced to drop everything on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and watch that crap...'tis bliss.
~~~
Taylor would make you change your mind. He's all kinds of awesome. He's worked with Keb Mo and Drive By Truckers.
~~~
I'd watch it even if I wasn't living with my girlfriend. It is exciting!
~~~
I just hate Paula Abdul...she's such a worthless judge. If I were a contestant, and it came to her review, I'd kinda tune out until Simon started talking. But anyway, I care not! Pretty brilliant premise for a show though.
~~~
I didn't know Taylor worked with Keb Mo and Drive By Truckers! That's pretty cool.
~~~
He did. He's got a couple songs up on a page somewhere. I should find it.
~~~
he also sang a ray lamontagne song in one of the episodes a few weeks back
~~~
More people saw Taylor sing that song than have heard Ray sing it, I'm betting.
~~~
I caught this asshole whilst my wife watched.
Sam Cooke would rip his balls off if he were still alive.
~~~
give me a break. what was the problem with him? It was a modestly soulful and passionate rendition of the song
~~~
according to
www.zabasearch.com
Kellie had over 2 million more votes than the nearest person (Taylor) this week. Yikes
~~~
i would give an arm to see sam cook disemball someone. and then sing, "wonderful world" to the screams in the background.
