2006 American Idol Tour reviews
The July 8th show
Abilymom, frequent commenter over at the now resting GrayCharles.com, posts a great review at MJ’s American Idol blog. She writes:
All decked out in my “got soul?” t-shirt, Abilydad and I arrived at the DCU about an hour ahead of time. This was my first AI tour so I wasn’t really sure what to expect, even though I’d read all the recaps and play-by-plays. There were MANY pre-teen and teenaged girls, many women of all ages for that matter. Interspersed here and there were slightly lost and dazed-looking men. Abilydad, though, was up to the challenge, considering he had no choice but to become a Taylor fan what with the constant Taylor music and discussion. He’s good and supportive like that!

Who better to have won American Idol, I ask you…
Taylor Hicks plays guitar and sings the Beatles’ Don’t Let Me Down.
Watch his amazing performance here.
The video is from opening night of the American Idols Tour 2006. NOW I am sorry I am not going to the show here in Minneapolis. Maybe I’ll try to win tickets on the radio somehow. Still, I just want to see Taylor Hicks perform in his own show. Someday. Just look at the joy on his face in the videos. He can’t believe his dream has come true. His song list for the concert: “Jailhouse Rock”, “Hollywood Nights“, “Sweet Soul Music”, “What’s Goin’ On“, “Livin’ for the City“, “Don’t Let Me Down“, “Do I Make You Proud“.
Be sure to also check out the FANTASTIC multi-part interview Taylor granted blogger extraordinare, Gray Charles, before GC closed down shop for the season.
Watch Takin’ It to the Streets by the Doobie Brothers here.
The rest of the “boys” sing Patience.
A complete review of the show, with photos, can be found at MJ’s American Idol blog. Great coverage, MJ!
A message to all who run Taylor Hicks or other fan-type sites: One big reason for the appeal of GrayCharles and MJ is the easy to read blog format. I really do TRY to read the board-style comment sites, but find it a ridiculous waste of time to locate interesting comments hidden among all the icons and photos and quotes of every single comment made. OK, I’ll be more direct: I HATE THAT!
