THE OFFICIAL Taylor Hicks Discussion Thread

[ckay87]

I WAS a big Bo fan, nowhere near as fanatic as I am now, and was SOOO disappointed by his first cd. To tell you the truth, I was disappointed in Fantasia's and Ruben's too!! HOPEFULLY, since he is a musician, he will hav eSOME influence and input... HOPEFULLY!!

Me too! I really liked Bo and Fantasia, but didn't lose sleep over them as I did this year w/T. But yea, when their CDs came out, I was like . That's why I'm just a little nervous about Taylor's CD. I have faith in him and all, and I'll support him. We know what he's capable of - fingers crossed!

It's times like this I just have to admit I'M OLD! Is that girl someone I should know or recognize? What a lucky ducky. Just one M E O W. She looks exactly the same in every single photo. What's up with that?

Anyway, absolutely great photos.

Good gravy..
Im a happily married 45 year old woman and I am having "ADULT" thoughts about all those pictures of Taylor.
WOW!!
Too bad i dont have acess to a computer at work.
Thanks for all the pictures everyone.
Hmm. Im only about 6 hours from Biringham.

That's actually Simon's neice who's studying in America from London. Lucky girl. I hate her.

Not really. LOL

I was in training all day so I wasn't able to get on the boards! Darn work!

I called our local radio stations on my break and learned that the record company hasn't even sent the DIMYP single to them! I am sure they will start playing it once it debuts next week.

As far as the scrapbook - I am rethinking it since Taylor's probably received a buttload. I want to do something more original for him. Maybe we could all get a HUGE box and send ourselves to him, wrapped up in a bow? Hehe In all serious, if you guys have any ideas, let me know!

I really really really want to go to the Birmingham AI concert/after party. I'd have to bribe DH....hmmm......can it be done....?

LOVE watching the audition video. I remember when I first saw it - gosh I was smitten with him then!

Love the life size pic....it's not my background and another addition to my rotating Taylor Screensaver, LOL!

Off to the AI boards! Check back in with ya'll latah!

Did you notice there were NO pics of Kat??? WhatUPwidTHAT?

Hey WAIT for me! I'm joining you on the AI boards!

Hey, how do ya like my new glitter kiss???

More Tay Time!!

MAJOR THUD ALERT, LADIES!

(BTW, if you're unsure what I mean by "thud," it's a term coined on the AI boards for the way Taylor makes our heart THUD in our chests... )

Whoa - thanks for sharing...

 

[mrsdon]

I woke up at 4am sue to insomnia ans WHOA I click on the video of Taylor.
Now I am definately awake...

 

[Robinrs]

Okay, I'm running late but had to check the thread, as usual first thing in the morning,,,,

Thanks, mrsdon for having it on the FIRST PAGE!!! Let's hear it for mrsdon's insomnia!!

Okay now, I'm looking forward to going to work and since I'm the first one there I can watch all of my Tay videos without someone screaming "is Robin playing that guy from American Idol AGAIN???"

I have to tell you that I've truly pulled several of my coworkers into his 'world". Last week I let "Georgia On My Mind" just play as background music one afternoon and the silence was deafening. Afterwards several people wanted to know who WAS that?.... I just showed them my wallpaper, which is the BIG version of my sig... I heard more WOWS than anything else.

You see I work for an African American owned cable channel that caters to AA families. Mostly everything deals with AA issues, music and lifestyle. These people are AMAZED at how a young, white male has SO MUCH SOUL! It literally blows their minds!

Taylor distracted non-fans with his performances. They mostly remember that guy who jumped and danced all over the place. When they sit down and just LISTEN to him, the effect is totally different.

One of the managers there is an up and coming Christian singer. She is in the process of putting together a cd. She is looking into doing a gospel version of DIMYP because, like me, it TOUCHED her!

Man....

Well, it's finally Friday and I can take some time to organize my Taylor stuff and just relax and listen and watch!

Robin - totally into a guy half her age and twice her height!!!

I hope not!!!

Nope, not going to the AI show, waiting patiently for the TH show! I really don't want to see the rest of them at all, just TH. And the price was incredible!

Well, I just DROOLED over the video disnygoof linked us to.... to quote a very famous SPer... Holy Mother of God.....

See, I thought it was the sound I made falling off my couch to the floor when he crooned "something in the way ssshhhhhheeeeee moooooooovves me..." or "you (pause) are (pause) soooooo beautiful (long pause) to meeeeeee..."

THUD (get the smelling salts)

I am. I've ordered tickets from Ticketmaster A LOT (more than I should) and they usually print and ship within I'd say 3 days of ordering them. I'd check if much more time passes.

You should receive an email notifying you that they printed and/or shipped. If you haven't received that email, you probably don't have to worry that they went to someone else.

Two questions:

Does anyone have a link to where I can d/l a copy of Taylor's Georgia?

Just how tall is Taylor anyway? I keep seeing references to his height.
