Why has he agreed to sing that song? It is a terrible song and doesn't fit who he is as a singer.<BR/><BR/>I heard he's a really good guitar player and writes his own stuff. So why is he letting the Idol idiots try to turn him into a middle of the road piece of fluff? Please, Taylor, run as fast as you can back to your roots and let us hear what you've really got.Chesher Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13098262816107827242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-1149086942041122322006-05-31T07:49:00.000-07:002006-05-31T07:49:00.000-07:00Good Lord in heaven above, if TAYLOR HICKS (Mr. I-...Good Lord in heaven above, if TAYLOR HICKS (Mr. I-dance-like I've-been-hit-with-a-Tazer) is the "answer" to music's woes, we're in a even bigger world of hurt than I thought.<BR/><BR/>His voice? Nothing special. But, then again, neither was Katherine's. Poor Elliot would have won had he been taller, had less of an overbite and no gap in his teeth. His voice was certainly better than Taylor's.writergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280715417926374080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-1149080813404011942006-05-31T06:06:00.000-07:002006-05-31T06:06:00.000-07:00The flaw in your reasoning (IMpompousO) is using "...The flaw in your reasoning (IMpompousO) is using "commercial radio" as interchangeable and synonomous with "contemporary music."<BR/><BR/>Yeah, the music served up over the radio waves today is, more often than not, just bloody damned awful: over-processed under-sincere slop with all the emotional substance of thinned down baby food.<BR/><BR/>I just returned from a big Texas music festival (meaning "a festival of Texas music") where 15,000 of us danced and sang and screamed and hollered for music which the fine folks (sarcasm-- look for it in good writing everywhere thee days) at Clear Channel and Infinity don't rate as worthy of our notice.<BR/><BR/>Good music -- great music -- continues to get made, new and fresh, every day. The trick is to not look to your local radio station to find it for you.<BR/>.<BR/>.<BR/>.<BR/>Baggiebretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895747782121932958noreply@blogger.com
