I absolutely adore Taylor Hicks. No matter what Simon says, I think he is a great entertainer. Can you imagine what would happen if Taylor and I got together and had a child? That poor thing would be the most hyperactive kid on the planet! Anyway, if you did not watch Idol tonight, you missed one heck of a show. Each contestant had to perform 1 song from the year they were born and 1 song that is currently on the Billboard Charts. Taylor sang "Play That Funky Music" (go white boy, go!) and "Something" by the Beatles (because one of their albums is somehow currently #6). The first performance was spazzy but highly enjoyable. The second was breathtaking and I must admit gave me kind of a crush on the man-child.
The rest of the contestants were pretty good, but their performances were a little uneven. I felt like one of their songs was great but the other was just OK. Elliott sang "On Broadway" (nice but not earth-shattering) and "Home", which earns bonus points with me since it's a Michael Buble' song. Paris sang "Kiss" (it's hard to beat Prince's version) and "Be Without You" by Mary J. (which I thought was right up her alley). Katharine and Chris (or as I like to call them the judges' pets) each kind of bombed one of their songs, so it will be interesting to see who ends up in the bottom three tomorrow night. Stay tuned...
