Aaaaaahhhh!! I can't believe it! Taylor Hicks won the American Idol title, and I could not be happier! This guy kicks all manner of unbelievable arse musically, and I am looking forward to following his career for a good long time. Oh yeah, and how cool was it to be able to stick it to the man (in the form of Simon Cowell) and prove that good material will always rise to the top of the heap if given the proper chance and encouragement.
He has two CDs out that he did with his band before he the Idol thing, and I have put down my simoleans for the only one that's still available for legitimate sale. I'll likely be borrowing the Idol CD from a friend of mine to turn into mp3s for myself, and I've downloaded a ton of Taylor's early live material. Again, I know I must sound like a damn commercial by tis time, but this is really the first time that I've ever been able to get in on something so cool at the ground floor. In fact, I'm going to check my mailbox when I finish here, just to see if my Taylor CD has come in the mail yet. It probably hasn't, given that the only place selling it has been totally backlogged on orders for it. The whole damn country has jumped on the Soul Patrol bandwagon, and all that Simon and 19E have to do is sit back and wait for the money to roll in. I hope that the first album he does isn't a total cheesefest, but I'm buying it anyway. Anyway, on to bed so that I can get up and watch the morning shows and see if Taylor or Kat or Elliot show up on any of them. And before I forget......
SOUL PATROL!!! WOOO!!!!!
