1. In my opinion, his career became idle as soon as he won and dominated the TV with that annoying Ford commercial. He's the Michael Bolton of schlock.

2. TMZ: "Sometimes when you win, you actually lose."
TMZ, what a stupid comment.....When you win, you'll always be a winner.....Their lives will be forever changed whether they go gold, platinum, or multi-platinum. Their names will be known...maybe less in Vegas, but more elsewhere....give these people a break!

4. Goes to show how pathetic American Idol has become. This was proof to the public that anyone could win. Sangaya was almost the next Taylor Hicks!
American Idol has ruined it's reputation on wanna bes!

6. Actually Ruben is doing great in Christian music... So maybe you should research a little more before posting these things. And I never here Fantasia ethier but she is rocking out Broadway. It's not all pop music you know...

7. I STILL LOVE HIM!!!

What TMZ needs to investigate is why American Idol has ignored him completely this year. They never mention him and they haven't had him back to perform.

Everyone should realize how much that Ford commerical hurt his CD sales. After Idol last May, Ford ran that commerical into the ground. I hope Taylor made good money from it because it filled everyone's desire for Taylor Hicks for months.

He's a fantastic entertainer. I think in hindsight, people will look back on his winning performance as the PEAK of AI's success. It's downhill from here.

8. At least Studdard sold over 2 million albums and received a grammy nod. Chris Daughtry is having the last laugh

9. He (the voters) screwed Chris Daughtry out of a win. I think had he lost instead of Chris, Chris would have won over Katherine.

Just my thoughts........

10. Chris Daughtry is the true winner of season 5 and Hicks (and everyone else) knows it.

11. Trish, did you see him live?

Where are all his fans that voted for him? Proves what a silly show Idol can be when ppl vote for 'the underdog' over a better artist (McPhee) for the sake of a good story.

12. TMZ - you don't have a clue about Taylor Hicks. Until you do you need to keep your opinion to yourself. Taylor Hicks has a huge following whether you like it or not. The guy is a great performer whether you like it or not.

13. Taylor Hicks career did not go IDLE. He is doing what he loves and is not into all this "album numbers" hype. Let the man be. I strongly believe he will become a very successful artist. And don't forget, Taylor is on a nationwide tour with most venues sold out. Taylor Hicks is doing just fine!!

14.

Chris Daughtry should have won. People got lazy and didn't vote. Nobody gives a real shi*t about Taylor the Hick.
