Taylor, Dude, You're the Dude

16. Taylor appears to be a good guy and is alot of fun as an entertainer, BUT he Cannot sing. Too bad really.

17. "Will Smith of Baldwin Entertainment in Nashville, Tennessee, tells "
Says Smith, "He wants to be known as a songwriter, not a karaoke singer."

The quotes above are Not from Taylor! They are from a slimy opportunist that passed up the goose that laid the golden egg. In 2001, this so-called producer didn't give Taylor the time of day and now wants to capitalize on Taylor's success. This same quote-un-quote producer was so professional that he sought out posting messages on the American Idol Message board to sell Taylor's copies of the original CD and to post notice of his plans to auction the original on E-bay.
You ask us now to believe the garbage this man is spewing now? I think NOT!

20.
Cant sing? Whatever. I'd like to know the qualifications of these people! I'm pretty sure the winner of American Idol needs to be able to sing! Get a clue. Wouldnt it be better to just say their music is not your speed and leave it at that?

21. Taylor Hicks!
He's more than the "soul patrol". . . he's a real example of what an all American guy should be, kind hearted, looking for a nice gal, clean and always smiling!
I knew the first time that I saw Taylor perform on American Idol that he would be the next idol! He's just got what it takes. . . I always voted for him because anyone can see that music is in this guys 'soul'!!!

27. Who is this premature gray, fat man and what is he doing sweatting all over the my computer screen and tv? Soul Patrol?! More like The A-hole patrol. ...Eh? See what I did there? The words sorta rhyme and.....ah forget it! This guy is a Joe Cocker...just without the Joe...and the er. Ooh! That cat's got claws! Me-oww! Taylor Hicks is to music, what "Gidder Done" is to the catch phrase world.

28. Taylor is a great talent. Can't believe anyone could have anything negative to say about him. American Idol was voted by the american people. Taylor has his own style and charm, not cut from the same boring mold as most others. Taylor will be around a long time, not like MC Hammer or Ton Loc. #4 and #12, if you don't like his music, don't listen to it and keep you negative opinion to yourself. As for me and the rest of Arley Alabama, and the rest of America, we think he is great! I would love to hear him sing Mustang Sally. That song would have blown them away on american Idol. Hope you have a very sucessful career. Arley Alabama loves you, and wishes you all the best.
