Taylor Hicks-play that funky music

[Judyp77]

TAYLOR???!!! Where are you???

[romanticspirit]

the best entertainer on American Idol Best Season EVER #1

[NateHail]

@romanticspirit uhm.... adam lambert...?

[oldikins]

Bring back the fun of Taylor Hicks................gth Simon!

[topelz]

I'm safe to say I have more hair colour changes then ryan seacrest lmao

[coltcub64]

There will never ever be a contestant like Taylor Hicks again.

[TheFaceOfFailure]

I like how he managed to shit on Cowell's face EVERY TIME.

[1968DodgePolara]

LOL Simon can sit on his potty chair all he wants. Hick stole the show by by Simon wipe your tears HA !

[CarlitoBombito]

Alabama Boy Heck Yeah!

[Girl4Reba]

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH :D

[CanadianScouser87]

him and adam lambert both performed this song briliantly would love to see them together hicks with his low growl and lambert with those o so high notes that even freddie mercury would be proud of

[kiriakoz]

@CanadianScouser87 please don't use adam lambert and freddie mercury in the same sentance... lesson learnt.

[antisadism]

Im pretty sure the WINNER of american idol would be known for his jack-ass behavior by more people. Hes incredibly famous, if he had that kind of attitude, it should be infamous.

[YRNGHFAN2]

I have Taylors first CD. Love him and miss him!!

[BrendonR1]

Did you guys know that Taylor Hicks is actually a really big jackass in real life?

[KamanForever]

@BrendonR1 Stop spreading lies about someone you don't even know. No one is going to believe your lies anyways.

[BrendonR1]

@KamanForever ok dude my mom works at ameristar and he went there to do a concert and started cussing everyone out because they wouldn't raise the limit

[KamanForever]

@BrendonR1 Ok first of all don't call me dude, unless your just using that as a figure of speech.

Raise the limit on what?  How do we know this is true, is there proof?

[BrendonR1]

@KamanForever raise the table limits

[Andieg521]

this is my favorite performance of his. i thought katherine and taylor had good voices and the stage prescence but, taylor had the style, but katherine had a WAY better voice and came across emotionally

[BreRainbow]

he's awesome!! 2006 idol was the best year!!! just cuz of him

[Sepia1989]

much better than Adam Lambert

[AshleyDDoll]

@Sepia1989 I agree totally. I just now listened to Adam Lambert's version. Yes, he has a very nice voice, but it was the completely wrong song for him. It's like this song was made for Taylor.

[MegaGood5]

Loved him!! hes a great singer! But i love Adam's version of this song!!

[Christianchic907]

How in the world did he win?

[Muffys1957]

he is the best



[BreezyT816]

They should really release a video of all his performances - they are hysterical. Great but hysterical! Glad he is still performing. Go Taylor!

[Picardy]

This is something your dad does in the living room when he thinks no one is home. I canNOT believe this guy was ever on TV let alone a winner on this loser show.

[paraconti]

Is that Forrest Gump's dance he's using?

[lookout84]

he was really fun to watch. not many idols move and put on a show like he did.

[jhniscol]

this was what i loved about him. he always had fun when singing

[MrKleebie]

Taylor Hicks has a lot of soul

[antisadism]

He dances pretty good.

[luvhicks]

Nobody can bring joy to music like Taylor can. I love his many talents and his ability to entertain. He is not boring and never will be. Also love his DVD, Whomp at the Warfield and am looking forword to his next accomplishments.

[krislaadkison]

Chris Daughtry should of won(in my opinion)

[SlowBrakes]

even though there was elliot yamin, chris daughtry and kat mcphee, he did deserve to win. he just sang with fun and dont really take the idol shit come to his head.

[hickifinoe]

Hey when he got ticked off about last week's performance he stepped it up and let it be known that he' d had enough of their crap--and from here on there was NO DOUBT who was gonna win!!!

[stormylane]

lol... wow, he really knows how to entertain!

I love the sound of his voice.

[Lovethatsoulmusic]

I love Taylor's energy and the way he loves what he is doing -- it's infectious! Keep on keeping on Taylor -- your fans are soooo happy that you put your whole heart into all your performances.

[TrustNnme]

Taylor Hicks was very very smart. He knew that the song choice of mostly all his songs should be hard-core rock type and fun. Its not smart to sing slow songs because it mainly does not work.

[MamaMia4545]

They tried to sabatoge his win on this song because the song he had practiced all week was ripped from him the day before. He had one day to practice this song so yeah he did good for that reason alone.

[everydaysmiling90]

I think simon's right!!!! I don't like taylors perfomance at all....i think he's actiing childish...

[oldikins]

@everydaysmiling90 Sometimes we have to be childish! I am an older person and Taylor did and still does always bring a smile to my face. He has of course toned it down in concert, but still he does entertain and his voice is soulful and wonderful. I am so glad I continue to get to see him live!

[cheergymcat]

i love taylor hicks!!

[awsome107]

Taylor Hicks Rocked the House He's for EVERYONE!! & FUN FUN FUN!!!! Love HIM!!!

[sammy25871]

Lol this song just makes me laugh.. he was such a funny guy:D

[deebur53]

I still love Taylor!!!!! He makes you feel good when you hear him which is the purpose of music! Don't quit any time soon buddy!!!

[yesitsme9]

I love Taylor Hicks! Such an entertaining guy and a wonderful singer/songwriter! Saw him recently in concert and he blew the roof of the joint! Go Taylor! Keep on doing what you do!

[Maalexandramv]

adam was better...but taylor's good...i guess ..

[Ruben1Show]

i thought he was a mentally retarted person.

Taylor sucks

[angie120881]

You can't even spell retard and you call Taylor retard and you say he sucks!!! You have no room to be calling anyone names!!!!!!

[saltifish]

Nah.. he's ok, he just sounds retarded cause he's from Alabama.

[BigBoiJC]

yeah...well I've got family from alabama...is that a knock on them too?

[theREALgossipGALZ]

so diff from adams!! lol

[dtrinc]

This is why he won American Idol: he can surely pass for Rob Parissi and Wild Cherry any day... Just as good as the original!

[JacRat106]

He's got 2 albums, Takin' it to the Streets and Seven Mile Breakdown, on tour, and in the stage production of "Grease"

[SamboraNat88]

actually the 2 albums are called "Taylor Hicks" which was the 2007 post Idol release. and "The Distance" which was released recently.

He's on tour with Grease, and doing a shadow tour for the album

[nfarnham2008]

Where is he anyway? I never heard of him releasin any albums or anything

[oldikins]

The reason I love Taylor Hicks! Not afraid to let it all hang out, but can sing a tender song like Something or You Are So Beautiful. I love that Simon hated this.

[yesitsme9]

Taylor is the first true American Idol! I just love his spirit and his voice and he has a fan in me for life! You go dude! Just saw you in Grease and you lit up the stage just like the star you are! Love ya!

[oliviaandjeremy]

wow, Taylor sucks sooooooooooooo bad,he should not have won,Kathrine is so much better!!!! Taylor sounds like a dying whale

[minaimborat]

lol

[lipstickqueen525]

i kinda like adam's better, but taylor is an amazing singer.

[naitch4life]

he is a real good singer but just know way to market someone like him today it is a shame

[tangelofishes]

not gonna lie. that last bit with Ryan and Taylor on the floor was a little awkward... lol I LOVE TAYLOR HICKS!!!

[oldikins]

Still love it, love it, love it!

[mishkite2u]

Oh, how we love him. He loves what he's doing and he's quite talented!

[michelle0337]

LMAO I love Taylor, his dancing makes me gigglesnort!

[marisalodo]

wtf is wrong with america? TAYLOR HICKS DOESNT DESERVE TO BE AMERICAN IDOL!

[36jessie87]

He defiantley likes to move the legs.

[drdent7]

Never watched AI until last year. But if had watched it during Taylor's season I would have voted for him because you can tell he loves what he does. This performance was brilliant. Raspy but on key. He even danced like a funky white boy.

[oldikins]

Ah yes...........back in the day when Idol had fun. Even Ryan! It was so good to see that energy back this week.

[animeluverluvmanga]

Adam and taylor have different styles so its hard to choose...

anyways i love taylors performance xD especially the end.

[tjtibby]

I didn't like taylor's guesting performance in AI. I still love him though. man, he's so cute with his hair cut.

[mindisgeminii]

they are two different styles...how can you compare them except for in your small minds...i love Adam and I love Taylor and I'll buy Adams c/d cause I have already bought Taylors to back up my opinion....don't you have homework or something else to do besides being so negative and stupid sounding. Go Adam...just like Taylor...give it to us we are all waiting for it....

[Adamglambertlover]

Hahah! I didnt think so many Adam comparisons would already be here! AHaha! I have to say, I also think Adam was better, but Taylor wasnt bad!

[IaMaEsKiMo123]

AAADDDAAAMMM waz so much better

[ezfreez09]

man he knows how to start it up! nice!!!!

[OhShizzzX]

I knew comparisons would start. Shit, just enjoy your favorite Idols. They're both completely different singers.

[oraliax]

Adam was better

[musicislove234]

PS make sure to see him on AI next week!

[musicislove234]

I love him!

[tjtibby]

Taylor is way better than Adam singing and performing this song. U can see taylor singing this with so much fun without loosing his range. Adam is just movin' and shouting like a man without testicles. Taylor has been true to his performances while Adam is performing as if he's straight. His performances before idol are way different from what he does on the show, he's trying to fool us all.

[xoWhyhellotherexo]

for one Adam is AH-MAZING FURR SHURREEE and two. Adam is openly gay hes just not doing all the dirty things on American Idol cause he wouldint be aloud to. and i really dont like TAylor BLAHH

[tjtibby]

o yeah? so you're telling me he was just told by the show to act as if he's a straight rock star? duh? use your brain.

[oldikins]

Taylor made us laugh, get out of our chairs and dance, and swoon. He was never in the bottom three and won big. He took AI and stood it on its ear. He kept us guessing every week. Since then, AI is ,booooooring! Now, three years later he is only hotter !

[RmAl9382]

Lol Taylors dance :] Adorable!!!!! Love you Taylor!

[krazedclown1284]

how old is he?

[44Italia44]

seriously is says he was born in 1976

[skkygirl]

I knew you people would end up comparing this talented singer to that other talented singer. Honestly I like this version better since you were asking. Adam had better stage presence but all of his jigging around hid his limited vocals on this song. Adam isn't as great as you fan girl fools think he is and to the person that called Taylor old, it's just the hair color you adolescent fool. Learn real music and stop letting your sexual desires to the thinking for you child. You're the stupid one.

[MBEvideoproductions]

Listen to Adam Lambert from this season sing this, and compare. I think Adam did it better.

[oldikins]

Nope. This was da bomb! Taylor paved the way for changes in AI, but none compare.

[taylorguzzie12]

your so good.

this was your best performance.

[BlackRainZero]

i don't like how he moves, but it wasn't really all that bad.

[LoveBeingSassy]

if he won, were the rest of the contestants that year that bad? :o

[1994yahoo]

no, season 5 was the most successful season ever (daughtry, elliot yamin, katharine mcphee)

[paintedwarriors]

ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[5432oisawesome]

hes terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hes not entertaining! It must be embarresing to be that old guy! he won ai? are you kidding me? hes got gray hair cmon, hes too old! his dance moves are totally stupid. He was lying on the floor! THATS GROSS AND REDICULOUS! ugh i hate him! I agree with simon!!!!!!!!!!! yeah um hes horrible . thats all i got to say!

[BlackRainZero]

youre a girl， right？

[yesitsme9]

Taylor Hicks! The best entertainer that show ever had on it's stage. I love this man and his voice. His energy on stage is brilliant!

Keep on keeping on Taylor, man! You rock!

[DazeDDr33m3r]

i don't mean to sound like such an extreme hater, but taylor hicks sucks.

honestly.

[DazeDDr33m3r]

Well that was embarrassing.......

and i 100% agree with kvt1013 !

[BrightLights28]

Man, THIS was corny! Can't believe he won AI.

[PuppyPom]

this is a perfect example of how Adam Lambert can sing a song like Play That Funky Music and look like...I dunno and amazing musical performance god and yet somebody else does the same song even with similar dance moves and they can make a complete fool of themselves.

[lexdeathnotefan]

I think that taylor was the best from HIS season so i liek adam better but they r both the best from their own season xD

[Jmacsexy]

Adam Lambert, WAY waaaaay better!

Why bother even to compare, I didn't like this dude, no idea how HE won.

If America let him win, they better let Adam win!

[lexdeathnotefan]

i prefer adam too but in that season he was my fav xD

[oldikins]

Since more people liked him than you....by far.......and he won three years ago, its too late to compare now! At least he was more what the show was at the time. Lambert has had lots of stage experience. Get over all of it!

[yesitsme9]

Adam who?? hahaha!

Taylor Hicks ROOOOLZ!!! He's so much better than the last 2 seasons combined!

[doodetts]

adam does it better

[chicaguayaca]

Taylor is the best!

[kvt1013]

how the hell did america vote this guy as an american idol

[TheDesertFox]

because katharine mcphee and everyone else were even worse

[DazeDDr33m3r]

that's what im wondering right now !

[teeftaller7]

Adam did better than taylor..

[dancinqt5013]

American Idol has gotten SOOOO much better over the past few years. I cannot believe this guy won compared to the people we have now!

[melissamay2011]

no offense but this sucks compered to adam lambert

[RANGERSRULE13]

this is karaoke compared to adam's

[oldikins]

I haven't seen Adam's but all I know is that Taylor made people happy, smiling and brought them out of their seats every week. No one will ever have the energy he has. Then to come back with Something was awesome!

[laurenjabba]

haha it's fun to compare taylor's performance and adam's. taylor is a good singer, but adam's was just so much cooler. for one thing, adam can DANCE. and look at the different in their end notes. adam is in a league of his own.

[Minikitty33]

wow when u compare the judges comments they gave taylor and the ones they gave adam theres a huge difference.

[yesitsme9]

There will NEVER be anyone like Taylor Hicks on Idol again! I LOVE this guy!

[BananZaGRL3]

Adam's version was SOOOOO much better!

[annisa0555]

AGREE ;D

but this one is also good. :D

[swantonspear]

Comparing them both, I like Adam's way more than Taylor's.

[angelcakes1091]

I really liked Taylor Hicks and voted for him throughout that season. But there is no comparison between this and Adam Lamberts version. Adam is just so far beyond anyone that has ever been on Idol. Plus Adam's really really really really really really nice to look at!

[IaMaEsKiMo123]

adam did a better job and taylor won so all's good

[ShawnaStarlet24]

I like Adam, but Taylor is so much better!

[divinyl15]

Nice to see I wasn't the only one inspired by Adam to come back and watch Taylor's performance of the song. This was the first thing I thought of when Adam said he was singing this song, and I'm STILL amazed Adam could turn it into something enjoyable.

[ShawnaStarlet24]

When Adam sang that, I was like Taylor sang that.

I like Adam, but Taylor did a much better job.

[Laziness4]

how on earth did Taylor Hicks win the show; that really was almost the downfall of the show

[musicislove234]

I EFFIN LOVE THIS GUY

[Yaliemoma]

so much fun! love it and Taylor!

[forumkitz]

Adam Lambert did a better version of this song, by a mile.

[oldikins]

I have to come back and watch this every once in awhile! That night, when he went all out with this one, then switched to the smooooooth Something! That did it for me! He can sing anything. (Simon still has the same shtick in 2009)

[BobsFingerShow]

i dont like him at all BUT this has 2 b his best performance most of em r boring

[hellbilly34a]

play that funky music taylor hicks!!!

They should have 4x4 trucks and rednecks dancing in the background

[sassappeal]

TAYLOR led the camera, alright!

Purple, green & Gold

TAYLOR HICKS, U r Royalty of Rock!

[sassappeal]

TAYLOR makes every move right!

im your Fire

Soul Patrol

Hick's Chick

<~~~;{singapore girl}!

[ayolucas]

this guy shouldnt have won.

he doesnt even have any songs written himself, never heard NAY song by him yet .___.

[CourtneysAuntSara]

Then you haven't looked very hard. Dude his music is out, you just have to look.

[LiangRome]

only listens to pop radio lol

[aquafishsoup]

can he do that shittie walk on the stage like elvis presley?

[songwriter611]

does anyone else find he reminds you of chandler from friends?

[romanticspirit]

I Really Love Taylor Hicks.. He is Marriage material for me!! Sexy Fun, and charming!

[Jbotne]

this dude is crazy ! haha

[bumspew]

lol i dont watch idol.... but how the fuck did he win

[jacobean261]

because he had a better personality than Katherine McPhee, alot of people didn't like HER, even though she sang wayyyyy better. I'll admit, I don't think he should have won either, but I hated McPhee even more

[CourtneysAuntSara]

Simon is WRONG, AI IS NOT a singing compition IT IS all about good TV. Which ever contestant who can give us the best entertainment is the one I will vote for. ALL of the top 12 sooner or later get a cd, So vote for the one who is most entertaining good or bad.

[yesitsme9]

amcfan100 - The album release will be out March 10. It was pushed back a bit. The name of the CD is "The Distance" and the first single is called "What's Right is Right" which will be available for download Jan 20 on Amazon and ITunes.

[sngdrm9]

He is embarrising- He doesn't know the lyrics and he can't pitch

[fenwayfive]

He can't pitch? This isn't baseball, as far as his MUSICAL pitch, this is the way song originated..

[sixfobrutha]

I enjoyed Taylor, but I really thought Chris was gonna win.

[yesitsme9]

I love him!! He makes me smile!  New album - out FEBRUARY 10!! Can't wait!

[amcfan100]

Feb, of this year?

[ChubbyCheckerChannel]

This guy is embarassing to watch. America certainly got this one wrong.

[BradleyExpress]

What a douche bag!

[Briannajo92]

Taylor Hicks is the Best of the best yo

[rvdsux]

What happened to ol'gramps ?? I never hear much of him,anymore.. {Not that I'm complaining}

[03maja03]

TH was and still is my favorite american idol. He is the best!!

[Esojyorniwa]

Oh c'mon faggots!

Stop advertising ur faves in dis clip. It makes u look more of a loser!

He's American Idol and i think he deserves it.

[romanticspirit]

He is Truly the Most Fun, Entertaining Idol EVER!!!! AWSOME  Unforgettable!!! ADORE HIM He's a Natural.. Love You Taylor Hicks ForEVER!!

[magpie007700]

why the hell was he laying on the ground??? trying a little to hard do you think??? he didnt diserve to win at all... chris or elliot should have won

[jmsins]

You are still watching Taylors videos over two years later. We know you love him. LOL

Soul Patrol!!! The best man won!!!

[magpie007700]

i was going through all of the american idol reruns and ppl kept saying how they thought that daughtry and yamin should have won... and i totally agreed with them... the only song i liked of taylors was jail house rock... sorry that i have an opinion

[jmsins]

All you are doing is making daughtry and yamin fans look like a bunch whinning babies who can't let go of the past. You all need therapy.

[sanjo1965]

whos selling cds for me it was best daughtry didnt win that way he could choose his own way and be true to his self which is why he is one of the best ever. love you daughtry.

[jmsins]

Its not who sells the most cd's is the winner. Its who gets the most votes. Yes Daughtry has sold lets of cd's and I am happy for him but Taylor will always be the winner of American Idol. Soul Patrol!!!

[jmsins]

Why do you have more Taylor Videos on your favorite list then daughtry?

[oldikins]

You are entitled to your opinion of course, but when you say you only liked one song so Taylor shouldn't have won, you are forgetting that 1)Elliott and Daughtry came in 3rd and 4th 2)More people voted for Taylor. Period.

[sanjo1965]

hes so funny, weres he at now,hicks even got ditch by sony. they ai i think is set up when it comes to rockers...............

[oldikins]

Play that Funky Music White Boy, You Are So Beautiful, Compared to What, Abraham, Martin and John.........you name it, he can sing it.

[rifqiah]

wwoow.the reason why i like him because he always have a stamina and energy on the stage.he can playing harmonica and do the dance like in this video..well done!!

[COOLCAT440]

he was high

[jmsins]

How would you know?

[oldikins]

High on life and music........and not standing like a stick behind a mike, though he can do that too.
