Taylor Hicks - LIVE at Rockefeller plaza - White Christmas

[AML2014]

Where's Taylor been?? Haven't seen him since American Idol!

[misskatiebethh]

TAYLAAAAAAA.

[Tayfancier]

I love this performance. So creative.

[EzrinJem2]

Is that fat George Clooney??

[SoulThing1981]

lol!! Thats funny that someone would say that about Taylor!! great comparison to Clooney.. wow lol!!

[Tayfancier]

You know he's good if you're listening to White Christmas in June.

[scoobobbidoobi]

Or the middle of August!

[ptoimagination]

oh my god!!!! this is exactly why I can't help but loving him! Wow!!!!! Taylor is a real musician and performer!!! He really knows how to excite and move people. So love him!!!

[Tayfancier]

This is just amazing. Puts a whole new spin on Christmas tunes.

[TayGlo]

LOVE IT!!!

[gsoulgame]

GREAT!

[TheRealGigi]

It's summer.. and this still rawks!! Wow! I'd forgotten just how fantastic this was.

[artbychristine]

There are 2 more versions of this: the one from the Early Show is my favorite, although it's hard to choose.

This is what he means when he says WHOMP: jazz, funk, soul, blues, gospel - he knows how to mix it up.GO TAY!! And, THANK YOU for bringing music back.

[nemoes11]

Taylor...You are the shit. You are one of a kind!

[sblxi]

I don't know when we got to be such snobs. Most of us couldn't create ANY impression if our lives depended on it...much less one where people gave us meager signs of approval. It was entertaining. Be glad.

[NyDerekJeter2]

Buy the CD

[sherry191]

I actually liked it a lot! And I'm not even a fan of Taylor!

[jeygee19]

wow...that is NICE!

What a great rendition! Love it!

[louiscald]

roxx

good dong

wooo

soul patrol

[sheelovestaylor]

WOW!

[orangeparade]

after reading so many comments here, i'm deeply saddened by the fact that so many people doesn't even know what soul is about. me, though being only 14, at least still haven't lost that ability to feel soul. what has the world of music become?

[behindthecamera]

This cooks! I thought it was going to be fairly straightforward until the middle. Taylor's bringin' MUSIC back, baby!

[jmebabs]

umm...i love Taylor, and i love his version of the song. he is fuckin awesome.

[geocomm]

This fantastic rendition of the traditional R&B power shuffle, born of the black gospel church songs, is lost on the younger generation of today. Negative remarks here are merely a lack of understanding and muscial upbringing, and moreover, a lack of SOUL!!!!

[jwh2]

Dude, I agree with your contention that this rendition is bore out of Black church...but don't be a douchebag. People have different opinions. Their opinions don't necessarily reflect a lack of understanding.

[ladyval456]

Ouch. Was that a Christmas song? Well, it started out as one. That part was rather nice.

[robin271]

Worst edition of White Christmas I ever saw!

[bdmelton]

I am so sorry; I don't mean to be disrespectful. However, Irvin Berlin must be turning over in his grave. I can't believe he massacred a traditional Christmas song as if he were "The Blues Brothers". I really did not like it at all.

[TayGlo]

If you can be so presumptuous as to speak for Irving Berlin, then I guess I can, too. As the creator of a vast array of well loved music, I think he would have thought that this rocks. I know I do! Bravo, Taylor!

[neece26107]

He looks like a jackass ruining a Christmas song like that

[dulcetdreamx3]

[jensenholmes]

"This ain't no Christmas-tra-la-la". That's what Taylor posted on his blog before the Rock. And he was right! Way to rock the house, Taylor! Thought his vocals sounded great and the groove was out of this world.

[TayGlo]

This young man knows how to put a band together. Amazing!

[Deiji]

OMG I LOVE TAYTAY!! He freakin rocked the house man! I am counting down the minutes till the album comes out!

[RJSnax]

I was there, and this was my fav. preformance of the night

[pjbrezie]

Extremely well-done! First, a bit of traditional starts it out and then this becomes Taylor's White Christmas.  Fantastic!!

[songrose]

Thanks for posting this so quickly. Bet many people were surprised at how well he sang the beginning. He does a great job with this song - love the way they changed it up! You just can't take the funk and soul out of Taylor.
