Doesn't surprise me Taylor is sick. Saw him on Good Morning America on Friday and his voice sounded very hoarse and he hit a lot of wrong notes. I think he's pushing himself. Hope he gets well soon.

Woooooo!!! Chy, I posted a little in Nino's folder today. It was fantastic. I got Taylor's autograph and a picture of him as he rushed through the line signing. He sure can move fast!

All Idols did a good job in the concert. Taylor was a bit hoarse, but he made up for any missed notes by playing with the audience. His dancing was out of control at some points. Kat mentioned that she had been sick for 24 hours with a cold, and she had a hard time with some of the notes in SOTR. Not to be mean, but I just wanted her to finish so Taylor could come out, lol! The man beside me spotted him first, at the far end of the auditorium. He entered through the crowd, singing Jailhouse Rock. I almost lost it when he took a turn to come down the aisle in front of us. OH MY! If only the picture had come out! I'll resize some pictures and post them here if you'd like to see them.

I think they were all getting giddy, with the end of their tour being this weekend. For the next to the last number, We Are the Champions, Bucky and Kellie came out on stage wearing huge parrot heads. Elliott was wearing parrot feet and a sombrero from Margarita's. Chris was cracking up at them. They must have found the parrot stuff backstage because that arena is the home of a minor league hockey team, the Portland Pirates. The parrot costume is for their mascot Crackers. Lol! It was all just fun fun fun. I have a link to some good videos taken that night. I'll post it later.

Thank you so much for sharing, Mak. Like I said, Sunday is also a work day for me, so I didn't get back to you. You are so lucky! I will very much like to see the pictures, Please!
It's good to know that the idols are more in their skins now. Bet they can't wait for the break from show for a while.

I know that for some of them it'd actually be time to start the real projects.
Good luck to Taylor!!

You're welcome, Coco. I have become quite the fan girl over this Hicks boy. Lol! I have never watched NASCAR but will be watching the National Anthem for sure! He said in an interview that he has sung it for a crowd before and is not nervous. He also said it will not be the Roseanne Barr version!

I thought Taylor sang a wonderful rendition of our National Anthem. He basically kept to the norm but gave a little taylorism at the closing...I loved it!!

If you want a Taylor fix go to rehearsal.com and look him up. Some really great footage.

WOW! Thanks, Roxip!! I watched What'd I Say and Hollywood Nights. That is one hell of a smokin' band!!! And Taylor is such an old soul, I love him. I'm going to watch the rest of them eventually. Wouldn't you just know I'd watch the two labeled explicit first? LOL

I watched one of them just a few minutes ago...and I guess it was the language (which was, IMO, unnecessary) that made them explicit?

But that band is definitely SMOKIN' and Taylor is a perfect match for them.

Georgia On My Mind is one of my favorite songs, and I also liked Hell of a Day and "What's Going on." Do I like Taylor because he sings music that is older than me (but not by much?)? Or maybe it's not...I'm afraid to look at the publication dates and see...LOL!

New songs from Taylor's cd being released 12/12 are being streamed on his website. I love all three! The Right Place was co-written by Bryan Adams and (somebody...sorry can't remember his name) in hopes of it becoming a Ray Charles recording. Dream Myself Awake was written by Rob Thomas. A couple of Taylor's original songs will be on the cd, too. I am so excited to get this cd!

He is going to be making the talk show circuit in the next few weeks, beginning with a performance at the Rockefeller tree lighting tomorrow night and Leno on Friday night.

The sax player on Rehearsals.com is a member of Taylor's former band, who are now called LiMBO.

Here's the link to the official site: Taylorhicks.com

Sorry, Twinks, there's nothing explicit in these songs. Lol! Well, wait a minute....there is something that I hear as explicit in Dream Myself Awake. Let me know what you think.

LOL Mak! Will do! Personally, the only bad word I heard was effing and I've said that a few times myself, but I do agree that it was not neccessary. I just can't get over that effing band! LOL

That band was hot! I know I said it earlier but that was a good enough rehearsal to make me buy the CD.

I really liked the interview session (which is on the second recording). It is interesting to hear Taylor's perspective.

What can I say? I just like Taylor...have since his first appearance on the tryouts.

Did anyone else see Taylor sing on TV at the Rockerfeller Tree Lighting? He was incredible and his back up band was awesome!! I love, love, love his footwork/dancing and then he pulls out his harmonica and starts wailing away. What a talented young man. Yay Taylor!!

Oh yes, Coco, I saw it, taped it, and have rewatched it on the web this morning. :-) Did you get to see the full two hours, or just the last hour? We only saw the last hour here. I know he sang his new song near the end of the first hour. I'll find it on the web today!

He will be on Leno tomorrow night.
