"I'm a harmonica player, a guitar player, a musician..."

Just some random quotes made by or for Taylor ;)

"Obviously, the talent level on our season was great. A lot of my friends got deals, which was really great. I wish the best for the folks on this season, too." - Taylor on AI Season 6

"Over the phone, Taylor Hicks comes across as someone who's as careful and determinedly upbeat with his comments as a politician on the stump." - Interviewer's description

"I'm a harmonica player, a guitar player, a musician," he says. "I think there's a definite musical side that comes out more than what people have seen before." - On his Tour


ArticleI - during the article... the phone went dead "unexpectedly." LOL, does Taylor hang up on interviewers?

"Sure, the production, overseen by Matt Serletic, is dull and calculated in spots... but Hicks' vocals glow with personality..." - Article on CD Release (is that good or bad?)

"You get better each week -- you hope. You have to compete at a high level, man, and you can't worry about expectations. You put your efforts in what suits you best." - Taylor during AI

"But what I bring -- that rawness -- is better in a live setting. People are so used to a computer-driven sound. That's not what I'm offering, man." - Haha, He brings "rawness"


ArticleII - This article is VERY opinionated... I'm not sure if it's supporting him, or not.


Now, to be random and fun:

"Because I feel like I got one." - Taylor

“Knowing they're going to have 20,000 people here, you could think of (the fans) screaming at the top of their lungs.” - Taylor during the Tour... HELL YEAH!

“Taylor was freaking out that a ‘queer smear’ would rob him of victory. First, he blamed a fruity purple velvet jacket he wore. And he was told there were rumors about his sexuality all over the place.” - I love that "queer smear," Ha, Taylor, man, you crack me up.

Love the quotes, Kenzie! You do a great job here. Was he really worried that he might lost AI because of a queer smear? I never heard that before!
