<<<>> Do you have any song choices for Taylor from that short list available to them this week? There must be something comparable to something he's wsritten. I'm listening to 'Somehow' right now and every time it comes on I go look to see what song it is because it just strikes me as such a good song, slow and easy but drawing you in.<<<>>>
This is from the Gray Charles site.
Here’s more songs Taylor could do that would be great:
Destination Moon: http://tinyurl.com/rf6sg
Come Fly With Me: http://tinyurl.com/m8pv6
Jump, Jive and Wail: http://tinyurl.com/qtw23
Route 66: http://tinyurl.com/psal8
(Which has been covered by the Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, and a zillion others. Great song. I liked to the Rosemary Clooney version which is a favorite of mine)
AND here’s a 1946 classic which Ray Charles covered at one point…
Let the Good Times Roll: http://tinyurl.com/qorq

Simon's Prediction of the Week
Simon Cowell was recently interviewed on Extra. Here's what he had to say about who stays and who goes:
* About Taylor Hicks's "stage theatrics", "It's ungainly, all over the place. It's funny...I'm not disputing the guy can sing, but it's all a bit stupid."
* About Ace Young's future on the show, "I think his days are numbered."
* About Katharine McPhee's future on the show, "She's reaching a point where she's looking so perfect and sounding so perfect. Ironically, it can work against you...she won't win."
* Simon's favorite according to Extra? "His favorite to win is 17-year-old vocal powerhouse, Paris Bennett. 'You gotta give the girl some credit. She's a tough little thing, isn't she?', he said."
The Ace and Katharine predictions look reasonable. Ace has been treated like someone they can't wait to get rid of. Katharine is just not the type they typically like--too left-coast with an eclectic style that's not easily marketable. However, I'd bet my house that she makes at least the Top 5. The Paris "prediction"? Am I missing something? I'm squinting at that quote, and I'm not seeing where Simon actually says that she is his "favorite to win."
