Taylor, Dude, You're the Dude

Posted Jun 28th 2006 12:40PM by TMZ Staff

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.

127. It's so refreshing to see a nice, cleancut, polite young man. And so attractive. I am anxiously awaiting Taylor's first album and solo tour. If you bothered looking beyond all the American Idol hype, it was really quite easy to see that there was a serious, talented musician just waiting to share his heart and soul with the world. Love you, Taylor.

129. I knew from the start that Taylor was the one.Watching him grow with each concert has been awesome!!! He owns the audience from the moment he takes the stage and electrfies them with his guitar and stage presence.Taylor delivers a fantastic performance each and every time.I can only imagine how great he will be when he solos,and I do love the idea of the new Rat Pack.How awesome would that be if they appear together?Taylor you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
