I wish we could have had the full download of songs in Taylor's season like they are doing this season.. I would love all his full length performances especially Trouble..And I wish they could have played instruments, too... This is the first year that instruments were allowed...Chris didn't play guitar that year...He did just have a guitar player sitting on the step when he sang What A Wonderful World and the Bryan Adams song Have You Ever Loved A Woman he had 2 guitar players...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836429639172326146.post-53854420338824361732008-04-25T23:12:00.000-04:002008-04-25T23:12:00.000-04:00I find it very interesting that Taylor was so stra...I find it very interesting that Taylor was so strategic on AI. To us in our livingrooms, we just knew that this performer was giving it everything he had on each and every show. I think it was a brilliant move on his part. He captured the hearts of many with the ballads and he was the source of many smiles when he got into the funky and faster numbers!<BR/><BR/>You know, I would love to hear some of my favourites from that show recorded full length by Taylor. A CD with some of those covers as well as other covers would sell like hotcakes, in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>I vividly remember the Hagerstown concert. I was listening to a cellcert and I can tell you, the silence in the audience and on the phone was a most unique experience. This is one performance that truly sent chills down my spine! It is awesome to see the very warm reception that Taylor received from the fans in Hagerstown. Thanks for posting those videos.<BR/><BR/>I, too, am becoming more than annoyed with the constant barage of Google Alerts which have either nothing to do at all with Taylor or do have negative information about Taylor. Obviously, some of these columnists/bloggers haven't taken the time to check out their "facts". I found this on the Internet:<BR/><BR/><B>With PageRank there's no such thing as bad publicity <BR/>The late danish travel tycoon Simon Spies is famous (in Denmark) for having said that there is no such thing as bad publicity. He had a pretty scandalous lifestyle (lots of women, even more alcohol) but according to him the value in the increased name recognition all the scandals got him by far exceeded whatever contempt or dislike toward this person they generated. Google makes Spies remark absolutely true. There's simply no difference between link in favour and links against a given site. Any mention, any hyperlink can only raise the awareness of the site by increasing the PageRank standings of the offending site.</B><BR/><BR/>It is obvious to me that those "in the know" are very well aware that the name Taylor Hicks will bring traffic to their site. So, in the end, we are left with this thought - That's Life - whether we like it or not. As long as we understand the motives behind some of this stuff, perhaps we can try to put all of it on "ignore". In my opinion, the best thing that we can do is not click on the link. There is another benefit of not clicking - we won't get annoyed or feel a need to respond and then we are saving ourselves from alot of stress or depressing thoughts. We all know that if there is anything notable to read about Taylor, it will be posted on the fan sites. It is up to each of us to decide what works best for us, I guess and that little devil called "curiosity" sometimes gets the best of us. That's okay though - we just need to remember "don't sweat the small stuff"!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the information about Kenny Vance. I found it very interesting and educational. I had no idea about his past endeavours. Another example of how standing by your beliefs is what really matters to each individual. If he hadn't been so persistent, we would never have had his great music!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Bloom - my apologies, once again for the length of this. You do inspire my thinking process.KarinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723515397274278683noreply@blogger.com
