  • we are singing this 4 our year six song

  • this is my graudetion song !! soo sad r takes me back to the funn and easyy days ;(

  • @TheJaylo456 dude, same for me! I miss the old days. ;(

  • @TheJaylo456 This is my Graduation Song too!!!!!!

  • .. soooo goood:D

  • weird Al's got nothing on Taylor Hicks

  • Would've been better if his voice was stronger.

  • our grad song

  • Love this Song!!!

  • the meaning of the song and the singer, both great.... !

  • Comment removed

  • Weird Al sings much much better.

  • I'm graduating tomorrow and we're singing this song

  • thumbs up if u want to be 1001 like

  • 1000th like.Suck it

  • FRIDAY, FRIDAY! GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY!

  • i perfur the weird al version

  • @truechoas heck yeah man

  • this is such a corny generic American song it doesn't surprise me that everyone's singing it at graduation -pukes-

  • Back when Cingular Wireless was still a company

  • Did this song for graduation today it made me cry

  • I am singing this for my Graduation.

  • He looks more like he's 45, but he's only 34! Amazing!

  • jus rocked dis song at graduation today..........can't wait to go to the nxt lvel

  • this song is beautiful

  • to be honest, no season can even compare to this one. With a top 4 composed of Hicks, McPhee, Yamin and Daughtry it may have well just been a 4-way tie lol. Everyone was extremely talented, unique in their genre, and are all currently successful in their own careers. =D.

    It makes me sad to see that this show has gone completely downhill and it is no longer about talent as it was a few years ago. :(

  • i love this song he really has talent

  • :O I got chills multiple times in that performance.... not many people do that to me, HE DID IT.

  • daughtry anyone?

  • Taylor did Something along with DIMYP that night, and he looked and sounded so different in both, just like he does in concert. He has that certain charisma and soooo handsome.With a super talented band to back him.

  • he looks like Leno

  • This is my daugthers class of 2011 Class song. Made all of us parents choke up!

  • this is the song that were singing at graduation!!!!

  • I criticized Taylor throughout his performance on Idol during Season 5. No question, Kat McPhee was a vastly superior talent. But Taylor has grown on me, because he has a full commitment to what he does. Unfortunately, the vocal control and power were never quite there. To understand the difference between Taylor and a genuine talent, simply listen to a much better singer sing a very similar song. -- Mitchel Jon singing "Feels Like Redemption". Simply a better voice, better delivery.

  • lol i came here from "Do I Creep You Out" xD

  • our graduation song :"(

  • @TheDragonKnightz Me too!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • lol, cingular

  • This guy was soooo boring!!! nothing special about his voice... probably the worst american idol winner.

  • @rettek808 you obviously did not watch Season 5. Taylor and boring do not belong in the same sentence.

  • Comment: Taylor's granny from Gulf Shore's must be mighty proud.

  • Out--Standing!!!!!

  • I love this song and TSaylor Hicks way of singing it. If I ever feel down I listen to this song!!

  • this was our 8th grade song to our parents. :'(

  • all i can i think about is stalkers after watching and al's version

  • @ParadoxOfChaos A girl-crazy kid I used to work with proudly adopted Weird Al's version as his personal theme song. lol Now Hicks' song reminds me of Weird Al's version and so both remind me of that kid.

  • where the hell is he now????

  • @jge26 Taylor's been touring pretty much nonstop for 5 years, with a break to do Grease on Broadway. He's written an autobiography, issued a concert DVD and released an "Early Works' CD of pre-Idol music and 2 CDs of new music since Idol. He's opening up his own restaurant in Birmingham in May and started his own record label last year "Modern Whomp Records". He'll be on the road again in May. Catch it if you can! He's tremendous live!

  • He s good i like him

  • The finale is where they give the contestants a horribly cheesy song and whoever makes there song suck the least wins. Well done Taylor

  • @CooperK91 I don't see the cheesyness.

  • @a999op The entire show has more cheese than every pizza restaurant in the world combined.

  • A beautiful song sung by Taylor Hicks....

  • wow..

  • He looks like a young Jay Leno

  • I get legitimate chills from this performance. I remember this like it was yesterday.

  • remital 24

    Great performance Great song.

  • this brings back so many memories.... :')

  • Weird Al Yankovic's version is soooo much better!!!

  • I can never get enough of seeing Simon eat his words, give a genuine smile, and Randy and Paula stick up for Taylor. He made that season the most enjoyable ever.

  • One of my favorite Idols....

  • ...im a recent ai viewer. and he sucks. compared to this season he wouldn't even be in the top 10...this is just awful.

  • @ithinkpigsarecool except this season is drawing the same viewers as last year, even with the changes. Season Five was the most viewed and hottest draw. It also owns the record on the Idol Tour. Go watch some of the vids from that tour. People certainly loved their winner!

  • @ithinkpigsarecool Then you've got a tin ear and horrible taste in music, dearie, cuz Taylor can sing this years cast into the ground. He demolished everyone on Season 5 and that was probably the year with the highest amount of singing talent. If he were on this year, he'd win *again*. Go back to your sandbox.

  • @yesitsme9 so he is supposed to be appeal to an older audience? even freaking stefano on ai right now is better than him. i dont mean to come here and hate, i was just wondering y he won since i didnt see this season. now i see y everyone always says that hes bad..

  • @ithinkpigsarecool

    I'm not a fan of this guy but hey, STEFANO SUCKS! Jacee is even better than him. He should be voted out long before haha

  • @ithinkpigsarecool I'll make this simple for you so you understand little girl. He won because he got the most votes. Get it? Good. Now go back to play in your sandbox.

  • @yesitsme9 which is weird to me because i dont think he is very good at singing and he doesn't appeal to the white-bread teenagers out there because he isnt attractive. watching casey abrams and hailey reinhart moaning on youtube from this season on AI. THAT'S what i call talent. i mean, of course he is good, he just doesnt appeal to me.

  • just sung this as our graduation song :)

  • also grad song on march15

  • our graduation song, it will be sung on april 2.. :)

  • our graduation song this coming april 2

  • Love Taylor so much!! Taylor love your music and everything about you!! Keep rocking!! Love you!

  • this is our graduation song

    i love it

  • @PHMasterBand : Our Graduation Song too... :)

  • i love the song! i could internalized the song...

  • this is the best song evr.

  • Do i creep you out?

  • It's been years.get over it, lads!

    it's not something to fuss over with.

    Taylor is great, so is Daughtry.

    why can't u just listen to the one u like?

    why bother complaining one of them being a winner, while u can just listen to their songs?

    really guys, it's guys like you who make wars.

  • I still don't understand how the hell this guy beat Chris Daughtry...I think it has been proven since the end of that season who should have won.

  • @mlclassing Oh please. It's been 5 years. Haven't you gotten over it yet? Taylor was clearly better - better singer, better entertainer, better live performer than Daughtry. That's why Taylor won and Daughry lost.

  • His song really touched me very much. American Idol is the best. :)

  • inspiring

    

  • ok I researched and I couldn't find anything either so apparently I'm wrong about that. I'm not wrong about you being rude though. I really wish we lived in a more compassionate society, that people didn't feel the need to just blurt out whatever negative opinion they might have about someone. But I realize that's just a fanatasy world these days....

  • this is soooo american idolish

  • awe, he's speaking to somebody..... seems like it's personal

  • wooooooooohhhh.....I dedicate this to my teacher.my parents.my sisters.my brother.and of course God....^_^...woooohhh

  • His voice is rather similar to Joe Cocker's, but thankfully he's not staggering around...

  • @shmuli9 What a rude comment. You are aware that Joe Cocker was afflicted with MS right?

  • @elibu50 It's not a "rude comment" (though apparently some people are born offended). He was staggering around in the 1960s (no doubt from booze and drugs), and he doesn't have MS. He just performed a benefit to FUND MS research.

  • i love it.. its our song for our pinning ceremony on march 10,2011...

    this song is dedicated to my parents ... DO I MAKE YOU PROUD?

  • holy crap this fella wrote this? champion

  • At least Taylor doesn't creep me out.

  • i love this song,.. i dedicated this to my father who past away. he is a great father. and this was our capping and graduation song in college.

  • when i first watched this i was 10 and i thought he was a horrible singer for some reason. now im 15 and can see that hes actually talented.

  • i am standing tall

  • sos lo mejor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song still gives me chills. Yes, Taylor, you DO make me proud!

  • gradution song bagay diyan

  • graduation song noong high shcool

  • Best American Idol ever.

    New cd please.

  • galing

    

  • I love this song. He is awesome

  • SOUL PATROL!!!

    Good Times

    

  • He doesnt accept the ILLUMINATIS?Does why he never was famous? Illuminatis control American idol.

  • this guy reminds me of chandler from Friends for some reason, :/.

  • He really deserves to be more famous...

  • @mknsmkl01 I think hes where he wants to be. I don't see him getting caught up in that hollywood scene. He might be more happy this way.

  • @mknsmkl01 yes, he does. And I'm still holding out hope that he will get the recognition he deserves.

  • Is it just me or does he sound out of tune?

  • @mrman5800  It's you.

  • @mrman5800 It's his song, the band is out of tune if anything.

  • I cannot believe how "off pitch" he was during the song!

  • @expluto51 LMAO!!! he was going good for me until he got to the end of the song....LOL

  • whenever i listen to this song now all i can hear is "do i creep you out" by wierd al!

  • i like this

  • dude chris should have DEFNITELY won if this is what he was up against.... this is just a disgrace and if simon paula and randy thought this guy deserved to win then they are disgraces too.... at the time anyway lol

  • @scruzduderocks

    Then he wouldn't have been nearly half as successful since he would have had to sing what songs Simon wanted. And since Simon hated his singing style, he would have sounded terrible.

  • I like do i creep you out more

  • 2:15 to 2:27 what's his doing?

  • @SolidLiquidGases Feeling the music, and expressing it. Something you wouldn't have a clue about obviously.

  • I miss Simon!

  • His voice might not be the best but I still love the song as the lyrics is fantastic...

  • wow this sucks

  • He SUCKS AAA!!!!!!

  • hey, were did the come from?

  • Wait wait wait. That's not weird Al, right? ._.

  • In my leeeeeg

  • Lol, wtf? That was garbage. People thought that was good enough to win a contest? Holy shit the viewers of that show must be retarded.

  • This song makes me cry !

  • I like Weird Al's parody Do I Creep You Out better.

  • Loved this song then,love it now !

  • Taylor Hicks is talented, but the winner should have either been Daughtry or Elliot Yamin. They brought it every night. Hicks was inconsistent during that 2006 season.

    Yamin should have won.

  • I'm gonna see him at the Food & Wine Festival in Epcto, hehe for free!!! I work there!!!

  • @CHICABORICUAPR You're in for a treat! He's one of the best live entertainers working today!

  • @yesitsme9 no, I'm not going to be there for a treat!!! I'm a Disney Cast Member I work in Epcot!!! :)

  • @yesitsme9 :)

  • Just wretched,he would'nt know soul if it bit him in the ass... invest in a Ray Charles record...

  • This guy is really great, I love his voice

  • It was hard to see but when he first came out onto the stage he did his "Big Lean" wonder what he calls it? Love the wagging "prow-w-ww-owwwwwd" and near the end "never-- been --afraid--- of --standing owwwwt". That move was the clincher, the more note bending he does, the better.

  • he's good and the song fits...

  • how old is he ?

    and why is he acting like a weirdo ?

    love his voice though

  • @chorkiel he's only in his early 30s... his hair makes him look older though... and i think he might just feel under pressure, 'cause he hasnt won it yet and he'd desperate to put in a good performance... but yeah his voice is amazing!

  • nobody.

  • Check out new videos of Taylor Hicks..........especially if you like soul, blues, jazz etc. Now on tour with another fantastic band.

  • when can i hear a song on the radio you fail

  • Do I creep you out?

  • He's HOT!  Voted hottest bachelor by People Mag in '06!

  • Wither you liked Taylor Hicks or not this song is awesome.it would be great for a graduation song.

  • he looks like a 50 year old buisness man!!

  • how old is he?

    40?

  • @TheFoolishKid123 Could you be that ignorant that you don't know the age restrictions of American Idol? How could be be '40" and be on the show? Or perhaps you're trying to be insulting? Gasp!

  • @TheFoolishKid123 He 33 now, he was 29 when he was in this video, PS:His hair turned gray when he was 14

  • he's talented ans has a great voice! i wonder why he's not known.

    i'm not american so i don't know all the winners of this show. when i've been told there's a winner named taylor, really, i thought it was taylor swift... but she's the worst (country) singer ever!!! how could she win? she paid the public to vote for her? :D but i was so happy to know that i was wrong and it was another taylor... congratulations man!!!

  • Hicks excels at what I call "note bending". Don't know the actual term in the industry, anybody? Like my take. Anyhow Hicks really gets going when choir comes out. Awesome head wagging, cool effect on the ears, and visually as well. "Stronger than I've ever been, yeaeeeeha" cream of the perf. Still feel Tonite Show perf with Hicks was best of the lot. Spare arrangement, good sax, LOTS of note bending galore and Hicks pulls out all the stops in the final notes. Tiramisu!

  • @monkeycat851

    It's called vibrato, and it is usually used by people who can not hold a perfect pitch. It is great for covering up flaws in vocals. That is why you see it on American Idol all the time.

  • @Taurenformer "usually used for people who can't hold a perfect pitch?" That is definitely a new one on me. I've never heard of this. You must be talking about something completely different, since vibrato is a recognized part of singing. Opera is a perfect example. You cannot cover up flaws within vibrato, since vibrato only changes the frequency (or waiver) of the note- not the actual pitch. Either you can hit the note or you can't - natural vibrato cannot mask that.

  • omfg what a boring song..

  • i voted for him the whole four hours, and I've never jumped so high when he won, he was the first person I saw in concert, I cried, I was so close, he spit on me, haha.

    But he makes me proud(:

  • I really love this song!

  • Without a doubt...the best performance in idol history.

  • Love him! Great winner, singer, harmonica player, blues and soulman and a great humanitarian.

  • great song....

  • No, Taylor. No, you don't. You don't make me proud, at all.

  • He has so much passion. ah I love him. My fav Idol.

  • @runexwalsh WTF?

  • terrible singer and should never have won american idol

  • This song was used for my graduation last night

  • Weird Al's version is better

  • i love this song

  • this song is my graduation song...

  • @KristaTheSinga Thats mine graduation song to

  • @KristaTheSinga mine too

  • His voice is very soulful.

  • I really forgot how great of an entertainer Taylor Hicks was.  He deserved the win!

  • This song was actually written FOR Elliot Yamin but since he got eliminated and since Taylor didnt like the song he was given, he was free to sing Elliot's song and did a good job.

  • love the song .. but not him
