There is a part of me that is wondering if he wants to not win....I have heard some of his songs and he really is GOOD. But 2 of his performances do not even compare to what he does out in the real world. People in this area that have heard him are always saying that he is good, really good....but based on tonight, I can't see it, you know. That's why I wonder do you think he just wants the exposure but not be tied to AI? Maybe i need to take off my tinfoil.
While I can't speak for what's in Taylor's mind, it is a flat out mistake to enter a contest like this and then not try to win if you get this far. Did you get a chance to read the article I posted earlier today about the losing contestants (finished 3-12)? Only one, Josh Gracin, has a genuine recording career going. Only a tiny number of others are having some level of success in other aspects of show biz. If you don't finish in the top two, you have no realistic chance at a big-time recording career.
I don't know ... Taylor doesn't strike me as that sneaky. I think he wants to win, but some of his recent choices have me puzzled. I mean, for Pete's sake--why won't he sing Ray Charles???
