Yes, Billie, the year he won...I’m telling you if he hadn’t won they would have had to shoot me. My son, his wife and one of the granddaughters were crazy about him and rooted for him week after week. He just had IT! He really is a good looking guy and I loved the way he moved around (a bit different from others). I actually haven’t heard much about him lately...some reports said he hadn’t done as well as they had hoped....you know how that goes! Like I said I was glad to know he was on Broadway....cause I thought he was drifting away.

I did like some songs on the C.D. but I love his romantic style of singing that he did some on American Idol. I did like The Right Place. I think the year he won was the best. I don’t watch all the Reality shows but I keep watching Idol. I watch the silly stuff in the beginning of the season just to see people make fools of themselves and I get some good laughs. This past season I liked the blonde girl, I believe Brooke was her name. But she didn’t make it. My son and his wife were happy with the David that won. I wasn’t into him as much as they were. Different age groups!! LOL~~

I haven't cared a thing about Idol the last two years. Watched it off and on but didn't really care who won. Taylor's cd wasn't promoted by the label, didn't get radio play, but performing live is where he shines, and he had two successful tours last year. He's been on TV several times, and has been included in several celebrity golf tournaments & sports events, where he doesn't sing, but is one of the 'celebrities' asked to appear and charity benefits where he does perform. It's not all about radio play or album sales numbers. :)

Anyway, this is one of his Pre-Idol songs he wrote - I love the instrumentals and the beat about as much as the vocals. Thought you might enjoy it. It will probably be on the cd of early works being released in August.

Thanks for 'letting' me share something I enjoy! :)
