Taylor Hicks Tickets -- Totally Worthless

Posted Mar 17th 2009 4:55PM by TMZ Staff

Taylor HicksIt's not a charity show, it's not a fundraiser ... Taylor Hicks concert tickets have now been reduced to a whopping $0.00 -- and it still hasn't sold out. Soul Patrol!

The season five "American Idol" winner was originally scheduled to perform at The Roxy on Sunset tomorrow night -- for $36.50 a ticket. But in the last few hours, a bunch of tickets wound up on goldstar.com -- a website which claims to offer ticket discounts because, "Not every show sells out, so instead of letting seats go empty, venues list them with us to sell to our members."

Now, instead of offering the usual half-price discount, Hicks tix are being given away for nothing ... nada .. zip ... zilch ... except an $8.75 service fee.

Still too much?

2. Hard to feel sorry for him. He shouldn't have been such a miserable, arrogant, unlikable jackass when he was on the show. The greatest talent will go NOWHERE if that unlikability factor is high enough. Wonder if this will humble him at all. Somehow I doubt it.

3. Why don't these people get it and get another job besides singing? NOBODY wants to see them!

If he was so "unlikable" then why did he win the POPULAR vote defying the judges/producers obvious dislike of him. I did not find him arrogant or unlikable at all, rather the opposite. He's just not everyone's cup of tea, after all he was the Anti-Idol. Then again, look at how many former Idols also have marginal commercial success.

8. Hopefully we can turn this economy around and actually focus on solving the deeper, systemic issues for why we're in this situation. Obviously bad banking's a good place to start, but there are other issues, like global poverty, that have huge economic and geopolitical ramifications.

The Borgen Project (www.borgenproject.org) has some interesting insight into addressing the issues of global poverty, something we can remedy easily and sustainably.

Some interesting figures to ponder:
$30 billion USD: The annual shortfall to end global poverty.
$550 billion USD: The annual US defense budget.

9. Man, wish I could go. He's fun to watch. And his talent lies in entertaining people which has been lost on the screaming generation.

10. American Idol is for 10-12 year olds who thought Kelly Clarkson was cool. She isn't, she sings the same notes, the same boring and angry lyrics and she has more ego than talent in anything! The only decent star to come out of it has been Carrie Underwood and only because she worked her butt of to make a new identity for herself. How many more of these excruciating wanna be's must we contend with before they call it already!

11. He shouldn't have won in the first place. He had no talent, just a Jay Leno look-alike. Maybe he should go back to whatever he was doing and not sing. I know I can't sing, I know I dont have the ability. But watching him on American Idol made me cringe. And look what Kelly Pickler is doing! She has accomplished so much, but still lost to T. Hicks. She has so much more talent than T. Hicks. Besides that she has a better set of legs!

14. Zazoo, I don't know what planet you're on, but he was an absolute nightmare on that show behind the scenes, and it quickly became public knowledge, as the other idol contestants started talking. One factor in his winning the 'popular vote' was that people would rather see him win than McPhee. His unlikability factor, despite what you say, is why his success has gone NOWHERE. Even Ruben Studdard enjoyed more success. Do your homework mate.
