Sometime in the future, the mods will need to pare down the AI5 threads. I'm setting this up so that we can keep posting Taylor news well into the future.

Yes, Taylor, you do make us proud!


I don't have any solo pictures of Taylor handy right now, so I hope others will come in and post a few!

Guess what I just found?



YAHOO ENTERTAINMENT

NEW YORK - Taylor Hicks has taken step two on his "American Idol"-fueled career, signing the record contract that comes with winning the hit show.

The gray-haired crooner inked a pact with music mogul Clive Davis in conjunction with 19 Recordings Unlimited, the label managed by "AI" creator Simon Fuller, it was announced Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Alabama native's recording of two songs — "Do I Make You Proud," which he performed in the show's finale, and a soulful cover of the Doobie Brothers classic "Takin' It to the Streets" — will be released in stores and through digital outlets on June 13.

With Davis' guidance, Hicks is expected to release a full-length album later this year.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Davis, who has molded the careers of previous "Idol" winners, said he thinks Hicks has charisma and a unique singing style that will help him establish his pop audience.

"He definitely has his own sound," Davis told the AP. "He does have that gift, you know who it is when you hear him."

He's on the Today Show right now, and he looks and sounds great. Some of the girls in the packed plaza have signs that say "Hicks Chicks". Lol!

I know, granny. Count me as another old woman with a crush!

Bonza, I swiped that cover the first day I saw it and set it as background on our pc. My teenagers gave me looks of gagging and told me that's only allowed for a week! "Sure, I have to put up with your idols with tattoos, spikes and pink hair all the time, but the first time I got one up, I get to listen to you!!"

Really, my 15 y.o. is worried about me. She said that, in all my Reality tv watching years, this is the "worst" she'd ever seen me act!
All I can say is, she better pray that Kaysar and Jenelle do not both get on BB All Star!!

Maris, I can't put it in words enough. Maybe it has something to do with my own premature grays.(Taylor said he had them since 14, and how his friends used to make it a game to search for gray hair on his top. My boarding school chums used to do that to me! I had resisted dye job for a long time, until my mother told me it wasn't right to make her look so old!)

Actually, I'm a musician/performer too. His back story, tone color, style and sincerity.... all get to me!

To me its his (apparent) sincerity. He truly seems to throw himself into and love the music that he is performing. Plus I'm a sucker for a guy that can play harmonica.

I can't figure out why women are attracted to certain guys. It is a mystery to me.

However, I can see why they would find Taylor attractive and appealing.

I think he's just a doll. Thought so from the start. I too love the way he gets into his music and he doesn't just stand there and sing, he performs. I always loved Garth Brooks for the same reason, he was always moving. Besides he has dimples and I LOVE DIMPLES!! Just a young kid that deserved a break and I'm so glad he got one. I also like the premature gray hair. Just makes him stand out more. Not your everyday, run of the mill rocker. You know american music is more than just one kind of music and I think Taylor can do it all. He has that soul feeling to his music.

I think that there is something very sweet in his eyes. I love his enthusiasm and pure joy for what he's doing. I think he's adorable.

Taylor really brings back memories of a young Elvis for me.

i think it's the smoldering, sultry, playful, quirky, sensitive, talented, graying looks and the smoldering, sultry, playful, quirky, sensitive, talented voice and harmonica that do it for me.
i'd also like to check out his 'gray(s) anatomy' lol. couldn't resist the pun.
i just think he's the total package. and yes, he makes me proud!

Here is our Taylor on Ellen today. A lot of people on other boards were ticked she brought up Chris. But I didn't see that it was offending at all. I guess some people may look too deep. I knew how much of a fan Ellen was if Chris', and I thought she treated Taylor nicely.
