    DINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I really wish you were here.

  • Little Debbi

    Hey dingo, were/are you a loggins and messina fan? There is a song done by them that I’ve always thought of Taylor covering. It’s called “Same Old Wine”. I can’t find a way to post any version on here for you, but would love for you to hear it and tell me if you like it. It’s sort of a political protest song written back in the early 70′s, but holds very true for today. If you can find it, give it a listen.

    In defense of Taylor Hicks

    SOUNDS FAMILIAR By Baby A. Gil

    …Hicks has also released an album also entitled Taylor Hicks. However, it did not make the top of the charts unlike Some Girl, the multi-awarded CD by his immediate predecessor Carrie Underwood or like Daughtryà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s. So there are now talks that the voters can also choose wrongly and that Hicks did not deserve to win. Something like that can certainly happen in a contest where winners are chosen by votes. In this case though, I still like to think Hicks was a deserving winner and that he took AI out of the usual or the predictable.

    I do not know why Taylor Hicks is not selling as well as the other Idol winner’s albums. Is it because he mixed soul, R à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢n B, rock à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢n roll and country? But then Ray Charles also did that. Is it because Hicks chose not to include his winning song, the inspiring Do I Make You Proud? Maybe, but truth to tell, I really find it hard to come up with a possible reason because the album is one of the best produced and most enjoyable around.

    The closest reason I can think of harks back to the fact that Hicks is an old hand in the business who had been gigging in bars all over America before he joined the contest. He has favorites and knows what he wants. As a result his album refuses to compromise what he had wanted to do for many years. I am sad this is being taken against him because if you will give it a chance, one listen is all it takes to like his CD. Then you too will most likely join Soul Patrol.

    Songs were chosen well and show off Taylorà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s assorted chops. Wherever I Lay My Hat is a brilliant Ray Charlesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ tinged remake of Marvin Gaye classic. He also does well with the pop rocker Dream Myself Awake by Rob Thomas and the ballad The Right Place by Bryan Adams. The Runaround throbs with good old rock à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢n roll fun and Just To Feel That Way is his soulful best.

    To which I say to the author — Taylor Hicks was one of the most polarizing contestants in Idol history. He will continue to polarize long after the show. Which is to say, You either get him or you don’t.
