Quote from: Marcial

I\'ve never watched it, but this season a friend of mine from Birmingham is going to be on it. His name is Taylor Hicks and the dude can sing and play guitar. He plays in several local bands and has also released a few solo cd\'s. He dated my sister\'s best friend for several years. You will know him because he has the most gray hair of anyone who has ever been on the show.... I will be interested to see if they try to make him dye it and if he does it... lol. He is a pretty cool guy and digs The Breakfast. Rumor has it that he makes it as far as you can go before the audience starts to vote.

Not sure how so many people from Birmingham manage to get on the show... Ruben, Bo Bice, and now Taylor... maybe I will try out next year... LOL.

when you only have three channels to choose from, and fear factor is on one, and the second isnt coming in for some reason, you end up watching this show. Just saw your friend\'s audition. How old is that dude, he\'s got a FULL head of gray hair, not the "most of any contestant". He was actually pretty good, something different. Simon gave him the business though.

edit: and why the hell did he go all the way out to vegas to audition?

I\'m going to watch our commander in chief for sure.

I told you he would be easy to recognize! He is 29... one of 2 friends I have that are fully gray before 30. I thought his audition went pretty well... like I said before, he has a great voice and can also play several instruments. I\'m interested to see how well he will do when all the teeny-boppers start voting.

Taylor Hicks = the most entertaining person on this show. I usually only watch the last 10 minutes if at all, and it made me laugh and give a slight smile the way he walked into the room to face the judges to see if he made the top 24. Guy plays a mean harmonica. So yea Marcial, it really wasn\'t a rumor that he made the audience vote portion, you knew all along didnt ya? Seeing as I am not an avid watcher of the series, do the performers get to choose their songs to perform live for audience voting? If so, what\'s the chances you can get this guy to sing a breakfast song? You want exposure for a relatively unknown, there ain\'t no bigger exposure than having an American Idol sing one of your songs. Though I am not sure what song in the library would be best suited.

I am not an avid watcher of the show either... I hate it actually, and have never watched it until now (all I do now is tivo it and fast fwd until his part comes one... funny how they always save him for the end). I gotta pull for my boy though... I told ya... he\'s got skillz... he\'s really a great singer. Win or lose, I\'m just hoping that the exposure will elevate his status from struggling artist to filthy fucking rich artist.

It\'s crazy what being on this show can do for someone... since it has aired, he cannot go anywhere in town without people mobbing him for pics & autographs.

Regarding him singing a Breakfast song, I\'m not sure if they get to choose whatever they want or have to choose from certain ones, but I don\'t see it happening. Now that he\'s going after the public vote, I sure he will choose songs that people will recognize.

wild pack of ass cracks would be awesome though.

He should sing Ahhh...The Name Is Breakfast Baby

Unless The Breakfast have been approached by AI producers we will not be hearing any Breakfast on Idol

Marcial · « **Reply #23 on:** February 15, 2006, 11:59:58 pm »

I think his voice is too southern for any Breakfast songs.

leith · « **Reply #24 on:** February 16, 2006, 12:11:04 am »

Oh no way.
He would sound great singing Vermont Song!!! :duck:

Marcial, can you get me like 50-100 autographs so I can sell them on eBay and make a small fortune :lol:

Marcial · « **Reply #27 on:** May 18, 2006, 01:53:13 pm »

I can\'t believe that he is about to win this shit... he deserves it, as he has been by far the most talented an original person on this show ever.

With 30million + viewers, I know that Ant and I aren\'t the only people on this board who have been following it this season... fess up people!

Jim Cobb · « **Reply #28 on:** May 18, 2006, 02:06:16 pm »

how about a taylor hicks sit in with the breakfast

Marcial · « **Reply #29 on:** May 18, 2006, 02:09:01 pm »

thought about that... I\'m sure I could arrange it if / when they cross paths.
