This was one of my favorite performances from him, he really pulled out all the stops . He is a fantastic entertainer and really puts it all out there when he performs. I love the throwback vibe with Heaven Knows. It's so much better than the other stuff on the radio these days. Soul patrol!
For the record, Taylor is dog whistling for Soul Patrol. It's an instant bond and appreciation, but it's more than applause. When you"take Taylor's side, you act on it ! Then again, America was in thrall -and rightly so! Still are!
Oh YES Taylor, you are AWESOME!!! I LUUUUUUUUURRRVE your hew song Heaven Knows and your rendition of the Beatles A Day In The Life just made the finale perfect, Thankyou, you are a Legend in the making !!!
I think Taylor would agree with Garth Brooks when he said of himself; I'm not the best ever singer but I give all I've got and a hell of a show! Amen to that! I'd go see either of them any day of the week!
pause at 2.58. anyone else see george cloony in him a bit? Being from England i wa s abit slow to catch on to idol, season 5 was the 1st season I saw, and I lovedd Taylor loads, that was a really good year of a variety of unique, amazing voices.
So David Foster, the man who can't decide who he's in love with from day to day, thinks Taylor has more charisma than anyone on Idol while he's busy "networking" with a contestant. There's an endless charisma pouring outta that boy. Sing, dance, charisma and serious chops. I think of Taylor with tremendous joy and the best of memories. And he's sexy; it helps.
the reason he won was because he had the heart. so did chris daughtry but i guess fans voted him over chris. this is an example of anything can happen. god bless you
is this American Idol or a Taylor Hicks concert?? O.O oh, well that was awesome!!!!!!!! XD wait wait, i'm still confused o__o The second performance was good too!!!
@jephybean actually Taylor has a very solid fanbase which is what a lot of singers need, he is doing extremely well. The guy is always busy and always doing things and hasn't become a corporate sellout under swinish record labels. People need to start reading up on the people they are talking about otherwise sometimes you just look ridiculous. Not only is his popularity consistent but I don't hear much on Carrie anymore, barely anything and I am in the music industry.
@Gypscrew Don't come on strong against me just because we don't agree. Carrie got married and took some time off. She makes over ten million a year. She is the most successful idol to date. Money does not equal success, nor does fame. If Taylor is successful in other areas, that's fine. But he's not successful in the industry, whether he's doing a lot of 'stuff' or not. I don't look ridiculous, so I'm not worried. He didn't fit into what today's industry and market look for unfortunately
@jephybean If he didn't have any supporters, he wouldn't be still playing now would he? exactly. If I knew you? instead of saying something like that, stop making obvious comments with obvious outcomes on who you are and people may not try to pin point your likes. instead, you use your dislike of Taylor Hicks into a man that isn't successful. He is, otherwise he still wouldn't be playing music and touring. o.O
Only 49,000 hits on this sucks big time. These two combined vids are awesome !! Do yall realize their is bonus footage of 2 more Idol statrs singing a fab song behind taylor? Get out!!! Jordan Sparks and Ruben singin
@jephybean a committee to change that? then stop making such lame replies like this " people thought chris was safe and gave katharine a sympathy vote... taylor had a die hard audience plus was the gimmick that Vote For the Worst voted for, because he is SO awkward on stage. Sorry, folks. He would've been a star in 1973 only" that's just like saying 90% of blues artists with a solid fanbase should only be in 1973. LOTS of well known blues artists have small groups and play in small venues.
@jephybean yes, he is successful in the industry. Just because people don't go into mainstream record labels that change your song the way they want it doesn't mean they are not successful and I know exactly what I'm talking about. In your eye's, you aren't successful unless you make millions of dollars. That right there is piss poor thinking. you are nothing more then a mainstream fan, that's all there is to it. What i mean by mainstream fan is you want to listen to what the label wants.
Respond to this video... If Taylor had so many wonderful supportive fans, they would've bought his CD - apparently they weren't or there wasn't enough. OR, the music wasn't what they expected. In any case, my original statement was true and based on that, you should not have speculated that I prefer cookie cutter music, do not appreciate blues rock and jazz and certainly presume that I don't know what I am talking about. If you knew me & not assumed, you would NEVER have taken that position.
concentricks we are here to give our opinions,well that was mine and if you had any common sense you would have known thats a mistake in spelling.please don't reply 'm not here to debate on grammer.

Respond to this video... u are a classic example of people who are so miserable and unhappy that they use this format to pick, poke and lash out, acting big and tough behind a keyboard, because you never have to atone for what you say to someone's face, never having to explain yourself in person. People like you are cowards. You have no idea who my favorite artists are, genre, you assume, and all because I don't think Taylor Hicks is marketable in today's industry. which UNFORTUNATELY is true

I don't know if anyone loves music as much as this man.
This was one of my favorite performances from him, he really pulled out all the stops . He is a fantastic entertainer and really puts it all out there when he performs. I love the throwback vibe with Heaven Knows. It's so much better than the other stuff on the radio these days. Soul patrol!

This is one hell of a sick performance by Taylor.Damn I love this guy.SOUL PETROLLLLL!!!!!
Oh YES Taylor, you are AWESOME!!! I LUUUUUUUUURRRVE your hew song Heaven Knows and your rendition of the Beatles A Day In The Life just made the finale perfect, Thankyou, you are a Legend in the making !!!

He really loves to sing and dance.
I think Taylor would agree with Garth Brooks when he said of himself; I'm not the best ever singer but I give all I've got and a hell of a show! Amen to that! I'd go see either of them any day of the week!
THAT is why she won it! :)
pause at 2.58. anyone else see george cloony in him a bit?
Being from England i wa s abit slow to catch on to idol, season 5 was the 1st season I saw, and I lovedd Taylor loads, that was a really good year of a variety of unique, amazing voices.
I almost make this clip one of my favorite until that woman shows up and sings. I love Tayor Hicks! He is so real and unique.

NO hes coming back in this one as a guest performer :)
the reason he won was because he had the heart.
so did chris daughtry but i guess fans voted him over chris.
this is an example of anything can happen.
god bless you
is this American Idol or a Taylor Hicks concert?? O.O oh, well that was awesome!!!!!!!! XD wait wait, i'm still confused o__o The second performance was good too!!!
incredible talent i think he would of went further in the 70's or 80's this gereration doesnt know what great music is.
Agree!

If Fantasia was the best singer on idol then Taylor was definitely the most likable!
casiesilverman...........I like Elliott too but Taylor just has the whole package. E is doing great now so its all good.
i like jordens dress :D
