Taylor Hicks' Career Goes Idle

16. Something about Hicks ........something that doesn't shout *star* or idol.

17. Hey Daughtry fans - get a life! Your constant obsessing over Taylor is getting tiresome. By the way, Taylor didn't boot Chris to the curb. Kat did, and then Elliott.

18. Anyone who likes Taylor should check out the Salt and Pepper blog at Castle Gray Skull:

19. Will Chris Daughtry fans ever get over the fact that he LOST and the cd sales on this one are great but he better enjoy them or step up his game. How many Nickleback's can there be. When they play IT's not Over on the radio now I hear people say PLEEEEEse let it be over. It is not Taylor, Katherine or Elliott's fault Chris came in FOURTH so Chris fan's stop blaming them and blame yourselves, you let Chris down not the other three contestents.

20. Funny how he is the least famous of last year's bunch. Bucky even has an album out now.

21. On Ruben Studdard being forgotten, that's just not true. I don't know if you've looked at Billboard, but he has two songs from his second album that have been number 1 and in the top ten since October 2006 when the album came out. So, why don't quit dreaming about Gayken and be more informed. Ruben 's first album was gold and he second nearly is. I don't call that a failure at all. Plus he does charity work, he is such a good person to be trashed by some meathead like you.

22. I think Taylor Hicks was the right person to win last year, it's too bad the American Idol has chosen not to promote him as much as one of the losers.

I saw him in concert and the crowd was far from mellow. He set the crowd on fire and had enough energy to light up NYC. I'm glad he doesn't just stand there and sing like some other musicians, that would put me to sleep.

23. It's so sad when someone just posts something and does not even check it out. Ruben has a gold album, grammy nod, and he new album is just about gold. Two cuts from the album have been in the top ten since October 2006. Why don't you do some research, you do read don't you?

24. I want to know who you work for, I'm going to try to get you fired. Anyone that thinks that Ruben 's career has failed doesn't need a job on this website. So, I'm going to find out and try to get your job taken away from you and get someone that might have a grain of sense.

25. guess it depends on how you define success. cd sales. touring. longevity. it's all relative. big cd sales? hair today- bald tomorrow? as for touring...hands down...it's taylor by a mile. he is putting on phenomenal live shows across the country. anaheim may have had a more sedate audience, but from jacksonville to nola to chicago, he has brought people to their feet, and then knocked them right off of them.
not worth the pettiness to decry who won/lost/should have won. like an artist. buy their cd. catch them on tour. hands down though, if you want to see one of the best live performers out there. that would be taylor. am very curious as to whether the tmz staffer who "observed" the anaheim show actually attended it, or simply observed more camera action following that poor unfortunate train wreck named britney.

26. Maybe if you had gone inside the venue, you would have a better foundation for your opinion of Taylor Hicks! His Soul Patrol is alive and well, and he puts on an amazing show for his many loyal fans. He will be here performing for as long as he chooses to and we will be here to support him!

27. LIfe's too short, money's too precious to spend on Taylor Hicks. He has a terrible voice, all gravely and soft. Loser.

28. 10 years from now HIcks will still be touring, singing his soulful blues. Daughtry's days as a rocker will be long over.

29. Taylor Hicks is (and always has been) the biggest joke of American Idol.
His career was over before it even started. This article is SPOT-ON!
He can't carry a tune in a bucket...
His dancing is pathetic...
He is nothing but an embarrassment to American Idol...
His CULT that goes the name "Soul Patrol" is just a group of disgruntled old and/or ugly housewives...
He is grasping at straws - trying to save face...


Once the new AI winner is crowned, the world is going to forget who he is, and he will forever be the same redneck that he was before Season 5.

The End!

30. Well I was at the concert last night and I can tell you it was fantastic. The man came on stage and was non stop action for 90 minutes. The crowd was crazy, they loved him!!

Daughtry fans.....yes you do need to get over it, Taylor did win, he is extremely talented and he will and has made a name for himself.

As for Chris Daughtry I think he is also great and he will have a good career and has a great talent.............

Taylor won, he didn't.....who cares both are doing what they love!
