Taylor, Dude, You're the Dude

Taylor Hicks: click to watch!Taylor Hicks (and many others) showed up to Social Hollywood in LA on Tuesday night but it was all about Hicks. It seemed as though he was approached by one aspiring business partner after another - all wanting their own personal "Idol."

The "American Idol" winner was seen by TMZ's Josh Levine leaving the the Hollywood hotspot surrounded by paparazzi and possible future hook-ups ... er, business colleagues.  At one point it got so bad that he needed a police escort back into the club while waiting for his car.

Good for Taylor though ... it seems that the head of the Soul Patrol has a good handle on how to deal with the many clinger-ons that will hound him in Hollywood.

2. Poor guy! What are people thinking to approach him about leather products and aliens? Gah. He seemed to take it in stride though. Hope he is having a better time and meeting more interesting people than this video would imply!

Go Soulman!

13. Hi fibitter Kat fan. You really must learn how to handle losing without bitterness. There is no comparison between Taylor´s gorgeous interesting whiskey tenor voice and Kat´s boring, been there, same as, Over the rainbow trill. Try going back to Taylor´s Amazon reviews and posting another boring one star review.

14. Hi bitter Katfans

YOu really must get over your disappointment and learn how to lose without bitterness. There is no comparison between Taylor´s exciting gorgeous whiskey tenor voice and Kat´s boring, same old, been there, heard that trill. Taylor is the most exciting talent to come out of this type of show in years. That is why is numbers are so good, because adults are buying music for the first time in years.

15. Not only is Taylor a great talent, he is a savy businessman. Taylor is a good person and will be nice to everyone, but will not fall for people who are just trying to ride his coattails. Taylor completely changed the face of Idol. It was already a hit, but because of Taylor, it has become a monster hit. Also, there was a talented group of contestants this year, eg Elliott. Taylor, you are an awesome talent, an awesome person and so good looking. Taylor will be a very successful performer and I think will in time become the most successful winner. Taylor Hicks, AI06. GO SOUL PATROL.
