None of us are becoming obsessed, are we?

Hicks Tops People's 'Hot Bachelor' List

Jun 14, 5:39 PM (ET)

NEW YORK (AP) - "American Idol" Taylor Hicks is ranked as the No. 1 "hottest bachelor" by People magazine - and he's looking for love.

The 29-year-old silver-haired crooner tops People's list in the magazine's new issue, on newsstands Friday. But the "Idol" winner says he'd happily give up his bachelor days.

"There's been no time," Hicks says of his dating life. "Now, I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with the right woman."

Hicks also wants to find a woman he exchanged glances with on a recent airline flight. Of the mystery blonde, he says, "We waved and did a double-take look. It seemed like something out of a movie."

The magazine has set up e-mail and mailing addresses for the mystery woman to contact Hicks. The singer will also perform the song "Possibilities" in a new commercial for the Ford Motor Co. (F), it was announced Wednesday. apnews.excite.com


hmmmm.....have any of you blonde women flown anywhere lately? Glad to feed your fantasies, Granny.

Too funny about enduring laughter to buy the People, Chy. I don't know about the black band on his wrist. I know Elliott wears different colors for JDRF.

I know, Supergranny! What's wrong with these young girls who should be chasing the pants off him? Why aren't they? Lol!

He was great on ET as well. We could hear Taylor singing a couple sentences of that "Taylorized" song. I like that song. 19E better take notes. They say the ad will start playing tomorrow.

I'm having a good day here, except my teen was so embarrassed for me since she had a male friend visiting at the time...

One of my teens here just said she won't mind my buying the People's, just don't tell anyone it's Taylor who drove me to it! I didn't even take bother for Jolie-Pitt's baby.

Lol, Chy! I remember when my then-21 year old dd bought Clay Aiken's Christmas cd for me. I asked if she was embarrassed when she bought it, and she said "Yes!!! I told the cashier guy 'I swear this isn't for me. It's for my mom!'" He laughed and told her he believed her.

I think I read that the bracelet was a gift from the Soul Patrol early on in the show. Maybe Naja can shed more light on this.

Someone asked Simon (an executive producer but can’t show up on it due to contractual limits with “Idol”) a Taylor Hicks question. Here was his answer:

Answer: “He’s obviously talented. If you make a great record, people will buy it. If you make a record people don’t like, like Fantasia, they won’t buy it. It’s now how good his record sounds. He’s got a really good shot. I like him. I like him as a person actually.”

Question: Do you think his looks made any difference?

Simon: “I think they helped him win. If he was 6 foot 2 with dark hair and didn’t dance like that, he wouldn’t have won. It was part of the package.”

I was in Wal-Mart today with DS and I saw a big rack of Taylor's singles, so of course I had to buy it. The lady at the checkout counter said they were "selling like hot cakes." Am I the only one who likes DIMYP? I guess I'm just a sucker for the sap factor. I liked "A Moment Like This," too.

Do you think Kat would have garnered this much publicity?

As much as I liked Kat (certainly more than many people here) I don't think she would have got nearly the same publicity. Taylor has a special spark and his popularity seems to have taken off as a result. I don't recall anyone getting this much publicity, including former winners.

I saw Taylor in a Ford commercial tonight. It was great hearing him sing and seeing him dance again.

News Item: Taylor Hicks jammed with pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph at the Greek theater in LA.

"Earlier, just after the Truckers' half-hour set, Hicks could easily be spotted (and approached) near one of the swag stands, flanked by managers and security people while watching "Idol" pal Elliott Yamin engage in his own bit of meet-and-greet.

It was an odd sight at a show not sponsored by Pop-Tarts and attended by tens of thousands of squealing teens. But what may have drawn snickers in the lobby grew into enthusiasm once Hicks was on stage.

I couldn't tell you the name of the tune he and Randolph cooked on, as this night the guitarist's set mashed one hook-free groove into another. (The guy is a virtuoso, yes, but he needs better material, stuff that can be tightly constructed for maximum impact as much as it can be stretched out. It's telling, actually, that he shined most on someone else's song, Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile.")

What I can say, however, is that Hicks held his own, never showboating or stealing the spotlight, just sitting in, blowing some mean harmonica and briefly leading the responsive crowd in a bit of "everybody say yeah!" back and forth. That showed respect to the evening he intruded upon. But the moment also stands as a significant vote of confidence from a serious rocker, something no "Idol" favorite has received, at least not so meaningfully."

What happened to the Sole Patrol??

I'm waiting for some haters to come out and call it "proof that Tay is gay". Not here of course...

Have you read that hilarious Dear Abby item? I saw it on Sucks.

just like with clay
if taylor is gay
won't matter to me
i'll buy the cd...

straight or gay
what the hay?
i still say
"go, tay and clay!!"

i remember all the broo-ha-ha when it was 'determined' that ricky martin was gay. i still really liked him and was so excited to get a free weekend in reno with tickets to his concert at the university.

i think it's funny that simon mentioned a cd of fantasia's that people didn't like so they didn't buy...i don't think i could listen to a full cd of hers if someone gave it to me. to me, she sings like paris talks...like a cartoon.

i do love the song DIMYP, but i want to hear other songs because taylor is so talented. every show i saw him on, he sang DIMYP...and yep, he does make me proud :-), but i can't wait to hear everything he records!
of all the idols, clay and taylor are my all-time 2 faves.
