Taylor Hicks' New Gig -- at a Housing Development!

91. I love Taylor Hicks. My whole family enjoyed him so much on American Idol. I hope he has a happy and successful career...He is a man who wishes to choose the avenues he takes and at his pace. He seems happy and is loved and admired by many fans and friends. Sometimes that is success in the most fabulous way. I truly think he can be as big as he wants to be...and the way he wants to be...jeb

92. Chrolls go home and worship your Rock Gawd -- my Gawd, he is nothing but a screamer, eye liner, wallet chain, copy cat. He got three negative reviews in Boston -- so take that and stuff it.

Don't worry about Taylor Hicks -- he's doing just fine.

93. Lake Guntersville is a gorgeous area...lake sites are skyrocketing all over this state, and I am sure it is just a matter of time before these do as well. Beautiful area...maybe some of you ought to check Lake Guntersville out...you would have a wonderful time.

Most well known people from this state tend to keep some type of residence here. Seems that Taylor is no different.

94. Taylor is a content man with morals and values, that most of YOU people wouldn't understand if it hit you straight on! He will be an asset in whatever HE decides to do!

95. It figures Taylor Hicks would end up selling worthless property, since he's run out of other ways to rob his senior citizen aged fanbase. I guess he needed to make more money now that his sales are down to 153 a week, and his tour is over, probably for good, since most of his venues were less than 50% full. And let's not forget that his last concert was free, and still couldn't even draw a big crowd. Oh well, i'm sure there's a lounge somewhere in the back woods of Alabama that wiuld love to have a no talent like him perform once in a while, and when they actually want customers, then they can get him to do the job he's actually qualitied for, which is scrubbing toilets.

96. Taylor's book was nowhere near a best-seller. It actually qualifies as a bomb, since it disappeared after 1-1/2 months. Taylor's CD fared much worse. For the last two weeks, it has sold UNDER 200 copies a week; don't believe it when you see the number rounded up to 200. When the long-set concert dates for Taylor were over, none were added because the last 20-30 of his shows had very poor attendance. His name is now synonymous with 'failure,' and jokes about him are all over the media. He might as well be a shill for real estate, why not? He has nothing left. Sure, his name is associated with a proposed development in Birmingham. That development is not yet certain, and even if a club is built, he will not own it. They can get out of their agreement with him at any time, and get somebody who brings in more money. The Soul Patrol can drain their bank accounts and their kids' college funds to support Taylor and his endeavors, but in the end, he will sink back to the small clubs and gay bars where he has always felt comfortable. He owes the SP nothing anymore. They got him the title on a reality show two years ago, but they couldn't shore him up beyond that. He can't sing, he sweats like a pig, and he is actually a quite evil guy. We know he can't stand his fans. He bites his fingernails down to the quick, and he is stuck in his teens, emotionally. He will follow the dollar signs and he will follow the flatterers, and they will lead him down the long dock into the murky Alabama waters where--contrary to the SP's belief--he will NEVER, EVER build a house. He wants to get as far away as possible from those people. I hope most of them have moved on to another object of obsession, because this one is dead in the water.

97. TMZ can't find any dirt on Taylor so they have create it, how sad is that, Taylor Hicks is the best and you Chorlls should really just get over it for achange. Taylor is not only a great performer, he also has a soul and is kind and darn good looking too, he's smart and talented and he's polite and giving as well, He's going places and he'll be around for a long long time, can the Chris fans say that with a new Rock star just ready to pounce??
Grow up for a change...

98. It just goes to show that American Idol has loongg since jumped the shark! It hasn't mattered who win the "American Idol" award at the end because NONE OF THEM ever record a second album or make any real money. This all started in the second season of this NO TALENT garbage show. Does anyone remember Ruben Studdard. Didn't think so!! Unless you're using his "cds" as table balancers maybe. Everyone remembers Clay Aiken, Jennifer hudson and recently, Chris Daughtry. Only Kelly Clarkson was the only TRUE AMERICAN IDOL who is still making money and records. So it shouldn't surprise anyone that a tremendously talentless lamo like Taylor Hicks is doing nothing more with his so called "singing career". Soon we'll see him doing a night manager job at the local Walmart! He should rename his nickname to the SOUL LESS PATROL" because his music really really sucks! Besides his white hair and lousy style of clothes.

100. If Taylor is not famous, why is TMZ covering what he does? If most of the posters do not care for him, why do you bother to comment. Taylor has more money than anyone posting bad things about. If you had more, you would be out doing other things besides posting on TMZ.

Like I said in an earlier-in-the-year post, "From the things that are said on here, the South is not the most prejudice place to live." And I'm a Black Woman born, raised and educated in the Heart of Dixie.

A friend of my cousin's, when she was attending her wedding in Arizona asked my sister (She hailed from Washington State), "Can Black people by houses in Birmingham?"

Now if that is not an ignorant question, I don't know what is. Truly enlightening about what other people think about Southerners.

101. Is it true some guy named Doug pretended to be a friend of Hicks, then tried to extort money from him? I read that this guy even ran a Hicks fansite at one time. With friends like that, who needs enemies, huh.

102. TMZ staff can you find out the scoop on whether or not Taylor is faking a girlfriend? I have seen 2 pictures of girls he is with an he says they are the same but one is much shorter than the other. This is really dividing the Soul Patrol. I would really like to know if Taylor is lying to us. I still love his music but I don't cotton to no lying.

103. This is what you get when you put your ego in the hands of the Americsn public. I never met a person who watched American idol who was not a major loser.

104. I was given a few free tickets to a Taylor Hicks concert a few months ago, and all I can say is that if someone tries to give you tickets to one, just turn and run the other way as fast as you can. When I first walked in, the first thing I noticed was hat the venue smelled like a barn, but then after I had been there for a few minutes, I realized it was just his fans I was sitting by that smelled like one. So I tried not to breathe the stench in, but decided to just concentrate on the music, which proved to be a big mistake. That Hicks dude can not sing at all. It reminded me of a karake competition I'd been to the week before only Taylor Hicks would have lost, if he'd been competing in it. I did make it through about 2 songs before I got up and headed for the door. The smell of fresh air never smelled so sweet, when I finally got out of that place, and then I jumped in my car, and put on some real music.
