On the plus side for the grey haired soul man, he may not be selling as many CD's as Daughtry, but he's selling out concert halls like crazy!
I would rather sell the CD's. They just picked the wrong guy for the Idol last year.
What do you mean it isn't his call to be on the show. Nobody is forcing him.
Actually most of the CD sales goes to the label. The artist makes the money off the shows, concession, etc. A sad reality for the Dixie Chicks & their last tour. LOL.
Of course poor sales will likely get you dropped by the label as well. It probably depends a lot on the fine print in the contract.
His pre-Idol stuff especially the live sets are really good. This man is NOT a pop artist.
Thank goodness for that! :)
I disagree, I think Sangaya feels that he belongs in that company, delusional as that may be.
LOL, that is funny!
Tony I saw that pic in that other thread and had the same thought! I couldn't hardly believe it when I reloaded the page! LOL
I want Elliott Yamin's new CD and I want it now!
Columbus, Ohio, April 24th!! CAN'T WAIT to see Taylor!!

LULU AND PETER NOONE TO COACH TOP 11 ON “AMERICAN IDOL” TUESDAY, MARCH 20, ON FOX
http://www.celebrityspider.com/news/march07/article031607-4.html
Lulu and Peter Noone to Perform on Wednesday, March 21
Legendary British artists Lulu and Peter Noone will work with the Top 11 finalists next week on AMERICAN IDOL Tuesday, March 20 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), and both will perform on the AMERICAN IDOL results show Wednesday, March 21 (9:00-9:30 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. On Tuesday night, the contestants will sing hit songs from the 1960s British pop invasion.
Lulu will perform her hit song “To Sir, with Love” on Wednesday’s results show. She is a songwriter, actor and television personality who has been successful in the entertainment business since the 1960s. In 1981, Lulu returned to the U.S. charts with "I Could Never Miss You (More Than I Do)," a Top-20 hit that also reached No. 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Lulu re-recorded a number of her songs, including "Shout," which reached the Top 10 in 1986 in the UK, securing her a performance spot on the popular BBC music program “Top of the Pops.” Lulu made her debut as a film actress in "To Sir, with Love," a film with Sidney Poitier. She also had a major hit with the title song "To Sir, with Love," which shot to No. 1 in the United States. Her 2003 autobiography is called “Don't Wanna Fight No More” after a hit song she and her brother wrote for Tina Turner. Lulu herself released the song in 2003, along with her “Greatest Hits” album. Lulu is in her fourth decade as an international star and recently released an album of duets with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, Sir Elton John and Bobby Womack.
Noone will perform his hit “There’s a Kind of Hush” on the results show. Noone is a songwriter, guitarist, pianist and actor who became a pop music star in the 1960s, at the height of the British Invasion spearheaded by the phenomenal success of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Herman’s Hermits. Noone was lead singer, spokesperson and front man of the now-legendary 1960s rock group Herman's Hermits, which sold over 65 million records and had 11 Top-10 hits. As "Herman," the photogenic Noone graced the cover of nearly every international publication, including TIME magazine. More recently, he was the host of VH1's “My Generation” from 1989 to 1993, and in 2001 he was voted VH1's Sexiest Artist. Noone has appeared in two Broadway hits, including “The Pirates of Penzance,” and still does approximately 150 live concerts a year.
Twenty-two-time Emmy-nominated AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; Nigel Lythgoe, President, 19 Television; and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.

We going to see anyone do The Who? How about the punk invasion of the late 70's often referred to as the 2nd British Invasion? I'd love to see some pull out some Sex Pistols or The Clash...;-)
I agree. I prefer artists who actually perform like it is not only their passion, but their JOB to entertain me to the best of their ability. My parents didn't allow Elvis played or watched in our house (he wiggled too much), but as an adult I've come to really appreciate him as an entertainer. Hubby saw Elvis on his last tour...over weight and over drugged and he STILL put on a fantastic show. IMHO, Taylor is in that same league.
When our $$ isn't any longer going to braces and college (about 2015) maybe we'll make it to one of Taylor's shows!
Hey, Taylor lost weight. Looks like more than 25 pounds to me.
Makes him look younger.
Notice he also darkened his hair. Seems like his image does matter to him after all. ;-)
His hair doesn't look darker to me, just longer.. but he still looks good. ;)
