Okay, here's my ..I watched the Ellen show here on the west coast, and I don't see why anybody would be offended with that interview....Chris was brought up in the conversation, but was part of the conversation about strategy and all...no complaints from this Taylor fan!

Thanks y'all. I just pass on things I pick up at MJsbigblog.com and graycharles.com I found the Rolling Stones audio interview very interesting and really appreciate the love of all types of music that Taylor has. He knows full well that he could be viewed as selling-out (dancing with the devil as he called it) but he knew it was his chance to get a break in the music world. He is smart as a fox, a silver fox that is!

Thanks to everyone for posting pics, links, etc. I don't have time lately to find all this stuff, so I really appreciate having a place to come and find things that make me smile. Whenever I saw him perform on AI, I was smiling. I never knew what he was going to do but was always entertained. Hearing his Under the Radar cd turned me into a lifelong fan. If I had heard a few of those songs on the radio before AI5, not knowing who was singing, I would have wanted that cd. I love the feeling and passion in his singing. I like the tone of his voice and agree with him that AI has helped him to improve vocally. I don't feel he had the best voice of the top 12, but I appreciate the way he uses it more than any of the others. His phrasing, energy, and his understanding of what he is singing is superior to the others (of course that is in my opinion, not an objective statement ). I love his quirkiness, apparent good work ethic, focus, appreciation of his fans, and those DIMPLES! The icing on the cake is that he proved Simon sooooo wrong. Lol!

All those reasons are true, he seems like a really nice guy, the guy next door type. He feels the music right down to his toes. He seems to always enjoy when he is performing, but is always aware of his audience and is trying to connect with them. And he kept the gray hair. It must have been tempting to darken it for the audition, but he did not and wow was it a great decision. It has become his trademark. But the most important thing to me is his voice. He has the kind of voice that when you hear it on the radio, you are not going to have to wait for the DJ to tell you who it is. Amd he can sing! I will borrow a phrase from Paula. His voice moves me.

This has got to be Taylor's most uncomfortable radio interview ever. He acted like such a gentleman despite it all. Don't listen if you are offended by profanity and politically incorrect type of talk. (The PI and profanity was NOT from Taylor) Taylor ends up hanging up after the "C" word was used just one too many times. http://rapidshare.de/files/22147839/Taylor-OA.wma.html

Taylor article in the latest People Magazine June 12 issue with Angelina on the cover but a pic of Taylor inthe upper right of the cover and a nice article inside And of course visit the blog in Bonza's folder which contains much Taylor info. Soul Patrol and Sole Patrol, for those fascinated with Taylor footwear.. Granny you might enjoy the boot pics.

No new posts by fans for over 72 hours? I just want to tell Naja: Thanks to the "gofish" link. There's a lot of goodies over there at "gofish" dot com. Type in Taylor Hicks and American Idol, you'd get videos of all his AI performance--along with some other Hicks prank you'd just have to ignore. Btw, Bo Bice came up also, if you like him also, it's a bonus!

Not sure if this has been posted yet...but Taylor fans, go to www.graycharles.com and they have links to some of Taylor's music before AI, including a 3 of his original songs...highly recommended!

Also at graycharles, you can listen to an interview with Taylor's dad, recorded the morning after the WIN.

As mentioned in People, here is the link to a site created for Taylor's goldfish. Scroll down to May 25 and click the link under After the Win. Lol! lamontandray.com/

http://news.inq7.net/entertainment/index.php?index=1&story_id=78505 Another interview, mostly samo samo, but it's from Asian News Network. I get to share something for once! Hope the link works. This is the first time I try this. Taylor has driven me to many "first times", here's just another.

Good job finding this, Chy. Thank you! The interviewers all ask the same first few questions, don't they? There are a few new ones further down the page.

Gray Charles is reporting that Taylor will be named one of their "50 most eligible bachelors" in the June 17th issue.

wow, i listened to the interview where the dj called a lady all those bad names and told her where to get f'd. how horrid. and, yes, taylor seemed rather uncomfortable with the nasty comments, but kept his cool until the plug was pulled. sheesh! why anyone in publicity would even consent to having taylor be interviewed by those trash-mouths, i have no idea! good for taylor to be a gentleman. i'd have slammed the phone down myself. i was flabbergasted when one guy asked about kellie...

I wish Taylor would be allowed to sing something other than DIMYP on Leno's show. Didn't he already sang that after the win? I will even take TITTS. Do you suppose we could start some sort of murmur/whispers?

I'm giggling at the abbreviation for Taking It to the Streets. I know, I'm silly. To answer your question, I don't think our murmurs/whispers would help one little bit. There's a record to promote, and that's all he will be allowed to sing. Perhaps they'll let him sing both songs, but I don't know. I'm tired of hearing Kat sing Over the Rainbow, too. I am surprised she hasn't been allowed to sing that hideous song they wrote for her. She said it sounds much better on the record.

I ordered his CD through Amazon, rather than downloading the song, because that is such a great photo. Guess what came today? And the sticker on the front promises a debut album in the fall!

I'm taking my Mom to Target tomorrow to pick up some new country singer's cd and I think I might have to make a little purchase of my own.
