Also thought it was funny when Simon said something about Taylor killing music videos with that performance, and Taylor was like "Yeah!"

Taylor Hicks is infecteous. Look what he's done to Ryan, he's made him an imitator with that spastic move of his. I was almost worried that Ryan would fall to the floor.

Taylor might look 40 with his gray hair, but at heart, he's really 14. Did you see the hand gestures he made behind Ryan Seacrest’s head during the show’s introduction ? So childish !!

Also, his regular shoutout to the SOUL PATROL is a signal to his legions of internet fans to vote for him.

At this point in time, he's likely the highest vote-getter on American Idol -- MALE or FEMALE.

I voted for him. The phone message went by so quick I thought I goofed up and redialed and then voted for him again.

Taylor might look 40 with his gray hair...

He's 29, but looks at least 10 years older, and not entirely due to his gray hair. He doesn't have a youthful face or body.
