I know neither one of you get Rick and Bubba but on yesterday's show they spent an hour with Soul Patrollers..the soul Patrol kept calling in because they knew R & B were in the B'ham area. It was cool! They were from all over. One from Brazil (?, I think) called in. Rick then called Taylor's cell phone and his voice recording came on and they let the woman leave a message! :) Every one of the ones who called in had never watched AI until this year. They just happened to hear him in the audition round, loved him and started watching the show.
How can you not love this guy....I thought he did great last night...one of the posters thought he was a little boring in the beginning but i just went back and listened to his performance and I liked it start to (almost) finish...I think he was running out of gas at the end but overall, he's still going on! Simon was right - it was Magic so I'm not understanding the comment to Kat about all other performances being amaturish compared to her's. If he doesn't win, I believe it will be Chris....I'm not into the yelling rocker thang...I love the songs (other than Country Road) Taylor's picked and I've been very happy with him from the original audition until last night! I need to find a Soul Patrol t-shirt....
