You are telling me a 35 year old song is on the Top Ten in 2006? That makes no sense. What else is on the Top Ten, Strangers in the Night, and Louie Louie?
That said, I do agree that Taylor played the system for everything it was worth. BUT, it was within the rules for the night, and this whole competition is about song choice song choice song choice -- and Taylor did his research and found a gem.
