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.

106. Please, people, American Idol 2006 is over. Taylor Hicks won. Could we all move on and stop blaming him for your favorite not emerging victorious? I did not watch the show but I would have to blind not to see that he is a class act with tremendous talent. I wish him everything that he wishes for himself because he so clearly deserves it.

107. My sister-in-law and I are crazy for AI. We've watched all of them and think this is the best year yet. Taylor is so much fun and different. He reminded us of Elvis. He is an appealing guy, good entertainer and interesting in an interview. In other words, he's got it all!

112. Taylor, from day 1 I picked you. I am a 60 year old grandmother of 7 and I saw the talent and just the way you carried yourself with class. You are genuine, and seeing your family every week, I can see the good stock that you came from. Even now I replay my tivo to watch you sing all of the songs you did on the show. My favorite, "You are so beautiful". Thank you for bringing back Ray Charles, and I will follow your career until God takes me home. Be Blessed, and stay true to yourself. Your #1 fan

114. Taylor is a fantastic star and he is only getting started. I said from day one he would be a legend and he will. Those sorry people who post negative comments are just sore losers cause the person they backed could never compare to Taylor Hicks. He is a fantastic singer is drop dead gorgeous and a wonderful human being besides. The sky is the limit for him now and no one deserves it more than he does. He will show the world what super star is all about .

119. Taylor, you are gorgeous. Can't wait until August 20th concert in Peoria, IL.
From the beginning, from your 1st. audition, I picked you as the winner of American Idol, and stuck with you through the whole thing. You are great.

See you in Peoria.
