THE OFFICIAL Taylor Hicks Discussion Thread

Hi, it's been a while! My fav two songs are the ones he wrote! Has anyone heard anything on the radio yet?

Based upon my loose understanding of the music business, it is the "single" that we will hear on the radio. That's why the choosing of the single was such a big deal. So I guess that's supposed to be "Just to Feel That Way" but it hasn't been put out there yet. Seems weird that a single wasn't on the radio weeks ago.

I, too, love his originals (Soul Thing, The Deal, HOAD) He's a real gem, this guy :cool2:

No I haven't :confused3
But I hear Daughtry all the time :rolleyes1

as for tickets, I've looked but the Foxwoods tix are not on sale yet.... unless I missed something :confused3
 
Are you all going to Endymion to see Taylor Hicks - Grand Marshall. We're going back for Mardi Gras this year just for this purpose. It's most probably been 8-10 years since we went to Mardi Gras. Should be loads of fun!!!!!

If you also want to see a concert and attend a wonderful party you can spend $150 - go to the after-parade show at the Superdome. There will be a very big concert with Journey, Styx, Al Green and Taylor Hicks.

I am hoping that I catch a doubloon from his float. Usually they will have a special ones made up - I am wondering if any New Orleanians know? I would love to get one!!!

Oh how I wish!!! Report back to us about it, will you? That sounds like an amazing show.
 

For Philadelphia area Taylor Hicks fans, I saw a billboard this morning announcing his concert on April 2 at the Tower Theater, tickets on sale now. Tried to confirm it on TH & TT websites but didn't see it listed. Maybe it was just added.:confused3
 
Thanks for bumping this up!!

My concert is in March in Atlanta. I'll be there with bells on!:cool1:

What kills me is he will be at Universal for the Mardi Gras on Feb 24th!! I just left there two weeks ago and cannot pull off two trips to Orlando that close! My friend in Florida is trying to pull me down there, it's his birthday so he wants me to come down for both reasons.... ugh....

 
FINALLY got my Hicks Ticks this morning. We're in the front of the balcony, which is cool cause it's a tiny theater and I'll have my shorty son with me (yea, the Daughtry fan:thumbsup2 )

The place's phone line and website were jammed this morning. Why did they book him at such tiny venues? I mean, I don't expect him to sell out Madison Square Garden or anything, but some of these places are 1 step up from the clubs he was playing 18 months ago.

Mickyfaniam - are you in for Foxwoods?

Remember yall - come back here and post your concert reviews! I have to wait til APRIL:scared1:

We are going to see this show!! I am very excited!!!
 
Philly area Taylor Hicks fans. I drove by the billboard again today & the sign now reads that he'll be at the Tower Theater on April 11, tickets on sale Saturday (I think it said 10:00 am).

Don't know if I misread it before or if it changed or a show was added.

You're right. This was my backup show if I couldn't get Lancaster tix. I've never been to the Tower and Philly annoys the crap out of me, trying to find things. Actually, the real problem is getting home. I always joke how I can get in, but I can't get out of that city!

Oh how I wish I could afford 2 nights in a row! Thanks for keeping us posted.

Lancaster is SOLD OUT! In fact, I think he sold out most places so far.
 
My ticks went on sale this morning and I totally forgot!!!! UgH!! I knew I should have set an event reminder! They only have tix at the back of the orchestra. I think I will wait and see if something better comes along.

Is he doing the whole tour with Toby Lightman or is that just for VA? I adore her.

She's along for a lot of east coast dates. She's opening for us in Lancaster, PA. I listened to snippets on Amazon and I really like her. Sounds like it could be a great live set.

Is anyone else getting depressed reading the AI season 6 thread? If I hear one more time "Taylor fell off the face of the earth/Taylor is bombing on the charts" I might just lose my mind! It's like, the CD is out there and has done quite well. Just because it's not all over top 40 radio does not deem it a failure. Maybe to some :confused3 . Oh well, I guess he can be our best-kept-secret!

Yeah, they are just having a ball picking on my guy... btw, I took him OUT of my signature because some numbnuts started talking about him on another thread.. I'm very protective of my guy!!!

Nonetheless, they have to say SOMETHING, they all supported LOSERS!!:rotfl:

On to season six!
 
I am devastated :sad2:
Foxwoods tix went on sale last week and I didn't even know it. I kept looking and nothing....then last week I had other issues, that caused me to forget to look :mad:
They went on sale last Tuesday...but from what I have read...only Foxwoods sells their own tix... nobody else...(I didn't know this) which explains why I didn't get notified :confused3 ... but anyway....from what I read, people who were logged on the very 1st minute of sales.... either got lousy seats or the Foxwoods system went down & got nothing. :confused3 Nobody seems to know why, but they never saw the good seats. I read speculation that Foxwoods keeps them for their high rollers :mad: So even if I had known I probably wouldn'y have gotten any seats anyway :rolleyes2

I don't know ...all I know is how sad I am. :sad1: I am crushed... I will not get over this..... I'm going to go cry now!! :sad1:

I am so sorry!!! I read something on GrayCharles about Foxwoods going on sale and I even thought of PMing you. Now I'm so sorry I didn't. I just figured you knew and I didn't want to be a pest.

Just remember that there will be sooooo many opportunities through the years to see Taylor live. I promise you, if there is one thing that I know for sure is that he is going to be one hot, active, live act for a long time.

This tour is doing so well in terms of ticket sales, I don't think it's impossible that shows will be added. He's moving east to west from now through May. But they could easily add another "leg" to the tour. I've seen this happen many many times. Last year I had written off seeing Bon Jovi because I didn't have the $$$ when they were in Philly. Then they added more spring, and even summer dates to what was supposed to be the end of the tour. I ended up with about 3 more opportunities to catch them (only took one, though.) This could easily happen in Taylor's case because he THRIVES on performing live and because, like I said, he is selling out every single venue. I'm willing to bet he'll make another round this summer, but that is ONLY my own speculation.

Sorry to babble, but I feel so awful because I know how you had counted on that show. Do continue to hound Foxwoods. Maybe they are hanging on to some tickets for the high rollers who won't use them. Casino shows are a P-I-T-A; hopefully he won't do many more of those.

1st off, never apoligize for babbling ;)

2nd, never fear you will be a pest!
But I think even if you did PM me I would have never gotten them anyway....from what I was reading ... :confused3

and last, I'm not giving up, I'll keep checking the website because you said what a lot of others were saying... that a lot of those high rollers won't even want them

and I am waiting for maybe a night to be added somewhere up here... you never know :goodvibes

Thanks for caring :)
 
:eek: WOW! Now there's a story waiting to be told! (We're waiting) I know a few people here went to Mardi Gras - how was the Taylor show?

LOL actually its not a huge story. He was at a house on St. Charles in N.O. where we always go for the parades. It was a big Endymion party and Journey was also there ,but since Steve Perry isnt with the band , i was NOT interested LOL.
He was skinnier than idol days. In fact much better looking. At one point the parade was stopped and there was the Slidell High school band in front of us. He got out in the middle of the kids and danced and played around with them and took pictures. All the little girls were screaming, i think i heard the windows shatter up and down the streets. ;) He was nice and my Ds 4 knew exactly who he was so he played with him a bit.
