Taylor Hicks Appreciation Thread

joshwayy Wrote:He was one of the top guys last night...but man there are some really crappy performers in this years batch...

Some of these guys and girls are excruciatingly bad...to have made it this far is a disgrace for the show...I want the Pickler girl to make it as far as possible because she's fun to look at...but the little black girl Paris just might take it all.

i think he will get a deal no matter what.

He DOES look like a George Clooney/Jay Leno love child.

I am rooting for him.

I've seen my fair share of porn, but I've never watched even 30 seconds of American Idol or Canadian Idol. Now, don't get me wrong - I watch my fair share of crap TV (like any Leaf game in January) - but I simply cannot stand the concept of Idol or anything that makes Paula Abdul famous all over again.

Same here, I hate Idol and all those other "reality" type shows, they make me want to smash my tv to pieces. Seems like tv today is just flooded with nothing but crap, but the upside is I rarely watch tv anymore and do other more interesting/productive things with my time instead.

Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

Does anyone else find any similarities between Taylor Hicks and Gord Downie?

I never watch these shows(except for when they're on), and I don't understand why I took a liking to this guy. I mean, last week I was nearly ready to call and vote. That's f#$king crazy! Tonight, my wife says to me, "You know why you like him so much? It's because he acts like Gord Downie". My brain stopped for a second and paused. She was right. There's something about this guy. I know, I know, I do feel shame watching this stuff, but that guy's got some energy and serious musical talent. He's got the music in him.

Well, tonight is the first time I've ever caught American Idol. I kept it on just out of curiousity 'cos I wanted to see this guy.

And all I can say is anyone with almost as much grey hair as me deserves to win, on principle.

Grey power. :rambo:

He could have chosen a different song.
It was a'ight youknowwhatahmsayin' but I just wasn't feelin' it dawg.

He is an amazing talent and there is sense of Gorditude...

My first impression of him was more Joe Cocker but I can see the Gord in him.

And I agree with Skippy's "principle win"!

The other night I realized that what pisses me off about this guy is, he's never heard of Gord Downie but that's exactly who he wants us to think he is: all weirdly shamanistic and possessed by the music. But he's not. He's just doing this schtick because he's desperate for attention and is trying to make himself out be much more interesting than he really is.

Plus, last night I closed my eyes while he was singing to see if he sounded better when I couldn't see his nonsense--and he sounded desperately average.

(I used to call American Idol my guilty pleasure, and then I realized I don't feel at all guilty about it...)

Ok, now you guys have me intrigued, when is the Taylor hicks gonna be on again on whats the show called? American Idol you say? I think i've watched 10 minutes total since the shows begun, but if hes as good as some of you say, I'll take a peek...

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

You'll have to wait until next Wednesday to see him perform again. Right now it's ladies on Tuesday, guys on Wednesday, and the results on Thursday. There's no way he gets voted off this week.
