Taylor Hicks - Something

[caroleinfla]

WOW!! Taylor is a FANTASTIC singer. I could listen all day.

[cool8man]

This guy sucks. 

[monkeycat851]

Ya'll won't believe 'dis but I just heard G. Harrison's version w/Beatles on the radio just now so it was practically like "side by side" but of course I'm smitten w Hicks AND his version, the sexy subtle vocal treatments make you want to pray, takes you to that "sacred" place. Keep bending those notes Hicks, no one does it bettah....;)

[oldikins]

I love the way he ended and just looked down at them like.....................I know I just won!

[Schmu68]

He sang this song so beautifully! I still love to listen to taylor sing this song. He totally rocked it. I was very disappointed that he did not win. He should have, hands down!

[AliceinTaylorland]

@Schmu68 He did win!

[wendyinhb]

@Schmu68 He did win!!! :))))))

[ahyun617]

@Schmu68 He did win Season 5!!! He was NEVER in the bottom 3.

[caroleinfla]

He won, just didn't get the pimp that 'd' got.

[Soleman92]

Best performance ever on AI, IMO.

[charleneb2000]

It's just those mannerisms--at :38, the way he shakes his head like MAN, he just can't get her off of his mind...That's irresistible. Personally, I like the way he sings this better than the original.

[Schmu68]

I watched this episode and I was totally moved by the way he sang this. It was awesome! I think he should have won on this performance alone. Loved it!

[maulcs]

fucking brilliant

[oldikins]

After all these years, this is still so beautiful, and after hearing and seeing him live in concert many times.............he never disappoints.

[monkeycat851]

Absolutely change it to "Something in the way he moves", can't help thinking of it that way after he's done it.

[love4doug]

i just melt when i hear him sing this song, so good!!!!!

[Soleman92]

This is still the best performance I've ever seen on that show. I actually like this version better than the Beatles.

[turo9992000]

@Soleman92

This is definitely his best performance, But he is no George Harrison. Go back and listen to the original.

[antisadism]

excellent

[Lovethatsoulmusic]

I'm a big Taylor fan and it seems that every performance he did on AI was my favorite -- at least until the next one came along LOL! This was one of the more special ones in my book. This man can sing any song and make it his!

[jammyjo610]

Simon got it right Taylor can sing

[1HicksChick4ever]

"Something in the way he moves"... and

sings. WOW!!! I just melt!!!!!

[IdolMashups]

And that was the moment I fell in love with Mr. Taylor Hicks

[hs5sunny]

Wow :)

[1HicksChick4ever]

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs and Taylor is just mesmerizing while he's singing it! Just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[biancapj]

This is one of my fave performances from him. :)

[anpri110307]

Amazing!

[musicislove234]

His new CD is good.

[CourtneysAuntSara]

Love that smirk. Tay knew he did well.

[ginapotter25]

Beautiful song, beautiful performance!

[ladyofthemyst]

This is my favorite Taylor performance, but I could never do without his high energy performances. Soul Patrol!

[godofwar1002]

does he win american idol?

[dunegus]

yes

[godhand06]

Still, one of my favorite Taylor performance...

[wkares]

Timeless.

[Alyssa0401]

hes soooooooooooooo hot ;-).hes voice...hmmmm..mums

[oldikins]

Just came back to watch this after a long time. Still great! As for Kat.......I just watched her with Andrea Bocelli in a performance done in May, and she is still timid on stage. Pretty voice, beautiful girl........ just nothing that sets her apart. She was upstaged by a great new voice.......Charice!

[AllSkate07]

Taylor not only sings the blues - he is the cure for the blues. I love this man and his music. Can't wait for his new cd!! Bring it on! The camera loves him and in person he is electrifying.

[oldikins]

Again.....the ability to go from Play That Funky Music to Something and nail both, is what is great about him, and why he won.

[singers333]

Taylor was original and sang with every feeling and emotion he could possibly have and that is why he won.

[monkeycat85]

Note bending galore, "...in the way she,eee, knows".

[qg6ff]

katharine sang this SO much better

[ljcapps69]

That's pretty hilarious! In what alternate universe did Katharine sing this better?

[qg6ff]

earth? its true, face it. shes better a singer and better vocally

[Nonagon]

No, it really just depends on your style and preference. Plus, she's way too timid, all the while Taylor puts himself out there.

[qg6ff]

timid? oh really? then you might as well say the rest of the top 12 was timid. because they were no different performance-wise than herself.

[Nonagon]

No, they really weren't. Especially not Taylor hicks and Yamin eventually got the hang of the audience. Daughtry always seemed confident and the Bennet (the good one) was pretty much a performer.

[qg6ff]

i'm saying katharine as a performer was timid as compared to ... who? taylor hicks? certainly not the rest of the top 12. taylor hicks is his own. everyone who has been on the show is timid in performance compared to him. no need to single someone aka better singer, out.

[Luv2LuvTay]

George Harrison would have proud of you! Something in the way you sing!

[pinnacullata]

i like this song, i never know this song, but when he sung it, its become my favorite...

[soraxemo]

long way to pal..

sorry..but winners are winners..

it's reality..

[oldikins]

Kat has a great voice, but I don't think she wanted to win. Her parents did. She didn't make all of the tour, and her album wasn't her at all. She seems like she is more interested in acting. Taylor picked up the slack on the tour and has not stopped singing since. He works hard.

[Emmieo4]

THIS IS GREAT

[ladyofthemyst]

I looked forward to watching Taylor every week more than anything else in my life.

[DemOmaN1966]

I can listen to this over and over again!

[oldikins]

tiship.........the most awesome use of 1 + minute on AI ever.

[tishlp]

Still amazing. Still one of the best ever!

[Barbieflausa]

This still makes me cty...it is so beautiful...just like the sweet soul man himself is. George Harrison would be very proud

[lulu1001]

Really? I think he'd be spinning.

[yesitsme9]

Love it!! He melts me! His new CD is gunna KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS!

[sewwo]

This is so bad performance...Im sorry.

[oldikins]

Even when Simon says it's magic?

[sara5893]

I'm sorry but Taylor singin Wooooooooooos ME, just melts my heart.

BUT Kat did a beautiflu job on this song. Same song two different deliveries. BOTH GREAT.

Kat now, Kat then....Foster can make her what Idol failed to do.

[gillsberrt]

katharine's was wayyy better

[danparrot10]

No comparison....Taylor hands down!!!!!!!!!!

[RenaultF1TeamRS]

1000%than kat'ssss

[RenaultF1TeamRS]

1000%than kat'ssss

[RenaultF1TeamRS]

1000%than kat'ssss

[jweil1]

Katharine Mcphee did this song wonderfully. Taylor Hicks also did it wonderfully. There is no reason to put one person down. It's like comparing apples and oranges. They each did it in their own style and each style sounded great.

[PukaLani]

If that your style of singing..it's okay.

[Pwells1]

WAY WAY better than McPhee.

[oldikins]

I fourth that! lol

[jiopsi2]

This is so much better than puppetmaster David Foster did with Kat.

[v619]

i agree.

[capecod2]

I second that!

[Ilovechristmas001]

I third that!

[RenaultF1TeamRS]

i agreeeeeeee!!!!!

[DeniseFerg]

Wonderful. I just had to come back to re-visit this performance after hearing Katherine do it tonight. Although she did a good job it didn't compare to the heart and soul Taylor gave to the song.

[timewarpnut]

Just a wonderful rendition of this beautiful Beatles tune! I can't wait to hear what's next from Taylor!

[turk711]

Amazing. Something in the way he woos me...

[84322348]

Such a beautiful tone on this song, and he delivers it with such sincerity. Hurry up with that new cd, Mr. Hicks. I'm waiting.

[avenger1000]

I don't like it.....

I've heard more from this dude and it was great.........so I thought I'd like his take on the Beatles.....but I just don't.

[oldikins]

I love all of his Beatles covers, because they are so different, especially Don't Let Me Down. I loved the Beatles too.

[CandyCanePie]

I totally forgot about this one, he sounds so good! AI totally gave him the shaft after he won.

[kskaro668]

Just incredible. He totally stole their show and they have never gotten it back.

[Missy1027]

ABSOLUTELY!!

[oldikins]

Celine Dion did this on her special last night, and Taylors version is better.

[oldikins]

Taylor can sing anything......

[kskaro668]

Just had to hear this once more. Not very many people can make Randy go "WoW" and get Simon to say "you are a very good singer"

Simon seems to have forgotten that. But it was true then and it is true now, he is a fantastic singer.

[541967]

I think Hicks did this justice.  I can only imagine the late George Harrison was somewhere smiling.

[Kenshinffx]

Wow, He totally overdid it.. And HE EVEN GOT THE LYRICS WRONG!

I can't believe this guy won.

[artbychristine]

That performance came out of his soul and into my heart.

Beautiful....

[retrop75]

The ultimate karaoke singer, but that's all.....

[Kenshinffx]

OMG thank you god for smart people like you

[jmsins]

Taylor never sang karaoke. He sang with his band in clubs. It was Elliott Yamin who sang karaoke before idol.

[Yaliemoma]

The phrasing at the beginning of this actually made my heart flutter. If I had to pick one AI performance this would be it.

[paperboyyeah]

How can you say that thetriology 911! Watch "You send me" and you'll see a glimpse of why. Taylor's fricken awesome.

[Kenshinffx]

Taylor is a washout..

I've met kids better than this guy... He fucked up this whole song by overdoing it

[thetrilogy911]

i can't believe this guy won American Idol...

[ProfessorPoopy]

This is my favorite performance on AI.

[Barbieflausa]

This performance made me cry in my loving room. It was so beautiful then, as it is today. A timeless song with a timeless artist..just lovely.

[musicfan28]

He is great , he sing wonderful , he is adorable , and he is so funny ...i am a big fan of him .

[tsnoopy76]

Oh my, he just makes me swoon when he sings this...can't get enough of it!

[tigergirl72]

:-D beautiful

[Emmieo4]

yeah wooo go taylor

[crazee4tay]

Wow,Taylor Hicks is amazing. Taylor,where have you been all our lives? Thank you God for Taylor Hicks!!!

[Girl4Reba]

the look on his face.. the way he sang.. oh for the love of thank DOD I voted and voted and voted and voted.. Now we have a new Taylor and he is so different from the AI5 Taylor.. He is his own man.. TH. I am so proud..

[fortayh]

I just love the way Taylor performs this. It shows how talented he is. He is a great performer!

[stephsupahstah]

Thanks for posting this, I had it TiVo'd and lost it and loved this performance!

[paperboyyeah]

TAYLOR BRILLIANT!!!

[RICE7131]

His a very very very very very very very very very very good

[Lamae2]

The photos were taken at Niagara Falls, Canada.

[citizenchrissy]

found the photos - dying for video !!

THANKS!

[Lamae2]

A video would be awesome!!!! Weren't the pic's great???

[Lamae2]

There are only single photos so far of Dan Akroyd & Taylor jamming, at Taylor's fan sites. You might try those!

[Lamae2]

Taylor has a LOT of celebrity fans, too! He was invited by Dan Akroyd to a fund-raiser and Dan was jamming with Taylor. Taylor is a really, sweet, caring guy! He deserves positive feed-back!

[artbychristine]

any footage of that jam anywhere?

[Lamae2]

Try Taylor's fan sites for single photos

[dmckenz1]

And why are we missing him - where is he? Let's step up the visibility! He deserves a CD that shows his best talent, like this song and Michael MacDonald-type. Don't think that kind of CD has been put together for him yet, from what I read. Get the song writers on it, time's a wasting! Grow that beautiful grey hair out a bit longer, too, like the earlier pictures.

[ladyofthemyst]

He may just be the cutest and strangest guy of all time. Friggin love him and miss his presence on tv.

[fortayh]

One of my favorite Taylor songs. WOW!!!!

[Lamae2]

Taylor is so versatile, he can move into a variety of songs, and still do a fantastic job. Soft rock, blues, boogie, etc. A great talent.

[Lamae2]

You know, I know people keep giving Simon a bad time for not letting Taylor through. But, you can see from these wonderful videos showing Taylor's awesome talent. Simon was changing his mind, we have to give him credit for finally recognizing what Taylor could do.

[artbychristine]

Yes, that's true, Simon had many nice things to say...more and more as the season moved along.

Why then, after Taylor won, did Simon say he never liked him, that he never "got it"...and (this was the worst) why did he tell a gum chewing season six auditioner to dispose of her gum by putting it on Taylor's photo? Why the negativity and nastiness after so many complimentary words recognizing Taylor's abilities? Any ideas?

[Lamae2]

Who knows why Simon changed after last year? Maybe it was because everyone was ribbing him about not letting Taylor through at the try-outs. It's kind of weird, when Simon predicted Taylor would win after he sang...Do I Make You Proud????

[PrincessofPower84]

He's a bitter old codger who's obsessed with Daughtry and whose words too many people take as testament. It's sad really, Christine. His attitude about him (as well as the show kissing up to the guest celeb of the week instead of letting us get to know the contestants) really ruined season 6. Don't forget him saying Sundance would "upstage" Taylor and Randy agreeing. We showed him. He didn't even make top 12!

[groens]

gawd i just love this boy! my gawd he's great.

...now this season--- not even worth watching...

[idelia52]

I love taylor hick. Please come to the uk. great singer, great performer, go soul patrol....

[Lamae2]

It was beautiful & he can sing!

[kickyerass]

Parts of it were excellent, parts were lame. Veyro is retarded to not appreciate the greatest band in the history of the planet. Listen to the complete library of their works; if you have a straight month to hear it all. If you like those two songs, try Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Hold Me Tight, Run For Your Life, etc.; any of the earlier grungy stuff.

[citizenchrissy]

Got chills the first time, get the chills every time.

Stunningly beautiful.

[aprillove2000]

My favorite Taylor performance!

[jem4tay]

Gorgeous man! Awesome rendition! Class personified!

[PrincessofPower84]

I totally agree!

[turk1117]

Wow. No one sells a song better in two minutes or less. I could listen to this over and over. Great job with what I used to think was an untouchable classic.

[calebsmommy04]

omg. I had just gotten into the Beatles when he sang that song on idol and I FLIPPED OUT. I'm still obsessed with the beatles, and for him to sing that.. it's just awesome. I love people who appreciate music like that, especially the younger generations - I love that we know what real and true good music is. he did a great job singing this :D

[Veyro]

The Beatles never really appealed to me that much.. i like Helter Skelter and Come Together though. I think they were great at writing catchy tunes however.

[monsieurhao]

So unperfectly perfect!

[armxilla]

There are 20 angels in this world

10 are sleeping

9 are playing

1 is reading this

put this on 4 video comments within 15 mins,if u do, sum one u love will surprise u sum how!! If u don't , u will lose ur love.!!

[JonCBeck]

While I don't think it was terrible it was disappointing as this is one of my favorite Beatle-George songs ever.

[soulpatrol5]

i love my baby

[SamboraNat88]

ok that look at the end, right after he finnished the song...THUD! and also, loved the whole gettin excited thing:D Simons right...great singer

[PkPrincess1992]

***Sigh*** Could he get any more perfect? :)

[billsfan09]

his best by far

[martina92685]

This one performance made be believe him. I'm still not a "fan" but I do believe he has something that can't be taught. It's that old school vibe...I don't know, but his voice at times is just right on.

[jengersnap]

Better then the original? Huh? I don't think so! They won't be croning this version 30 years from now, whereas the Fab Four will still be untouchable. But he did try to sound decent.

[fergilicious23]

i hate taylor hicks, and i think he ruined the real original beautiful masterpiece. he made the most delicate artwork sound like a car running over shards of broken glass.

[Macie5]

how can u HATE him u dont even know him

[smurf7777]

You hate Taylor Hicks yet you love Fergie?

[shellsy515]

LOL! That one made me spit out my Pepsi! ROFL!

[crazee4tay]

evidently you don't recognize real talent when you hear it.Taylor is the best & he will be around for a long time. I am so thankful to be living in the "Taylor Hicks" era. What a blessing he is. I guess I love him enough to block out the hate you say you have for him.Taylor-U-R-LOVED!!

[janetkk89]

I love it!!!!

Better than original

[mastermusician]

all thanks to george harrison

[catirahicks]

I just like him much more when he delivers vocal professional performance just like this one.

Taylor is very polarizing that's for sure.. I hated his Play That Funky Music number but I loved this polished delivery.

Anyways I hope he sticks to his crooner side, much better, much more professional. When he dances he acts liek a clown, when he jsut sings and emotes he looks like a star. JMHO.

[Amanda318]

One of his best.

[soulpatrol5]

taylor is just amazing.i love him in everyway.taylor has soul and is a REAL MUSICIAN!.yeah taylor is my man!!SOUL PATROL!..he HAS SOUL and thats why a lot of his endings are fun and crazy.he has all this love for music inside him..he rocks!HICKS CHICK FOREVER!

[idoltay]

I love everything this man sings.  What a talent! He thrills me.

[mustangmommy]

my all time fav.. love it!

[catirahicks]

I agree with smurf7777.

Those three songs (Something,In the Ghetto and YASB) are my favorites from his AI performances.

I like the crooner side of Taylor the most.

His voice sounds so awesome.. Perfect indeed!

[moodyjenny86]

Perfect!

[nimrod609]

Yeah! Go Taylor!

[smurf7777]

This, In the Ghetto, and You Are So Beautifull all in a row.

[juliegr]

DANG -- he really pulled that one out of his innerds and laid it on the line! Good stuff.

[Barbieflausa]

One of my all time favorite Taylor moment...with my favorite purple shirt!!!! wooooo
