Taylor Hicks - In The Ghetto

[oliverandm]

Since South Park i've never been able to take this song seriously

[2Catangel]

I loved this so much. I thought Taylor should have recorded this song!

[kermitcintronsucks]

what?

[monkeycat851]

You must've been thrilled meeting with Tommy. Again, another perfectly executed performance by a very savvy, and very smart performer. You played the camera well too, which was key in drawing in the audience on tv and the studio. Muy fabuloso! You also appeared to be the most comfortable on the stage for the duration of the show as well. You make it look easy, Hicks. ;)

[streatleyred]

its shite

[TheSandwich71]

i think it is more of a SAD song. ive been to graceland bfore!

[monkeycat851]

Fab vibrato!

[ric3c4k3z]

this reminds me of cartman :D

in the ghetto... 'in the ghettooooo'

[blackpowerfreak]

@ric3c4k3z Lol

[rmbb10]

He can sing; he sings with so much soul.

[maxvictor182]

Mike lynch version was wayyy betterrrrr

[brileedm1998]

he did really good

[tiarakf]

who sings this song??

[dillweed1992]

ELVIS

[morgandrim]

I thought this was pretty good.

[KETPR]

well tempted... though not in the song's mood forme

[ogilardummmapersoner]

it's so sad that he is destroying the song

[theprosal]

this is pathetic.1000 times pathetic. really!

[SpaghettiGirl1982]

Very beautiful - very impressive. Straight from the heart. One of the better versions.

[hugin2000]

didint feel that David did now what this song means!!

[OfficialArmonist]

He should be singing spirituals instead of rock, suits his vocals better.

[oldikins]

Uh...........Tommy Mottola knew Elvis, so if he says Taylor did an impressive job.........he did. I am not sure some of you were around for Elvis. No one is trying to outdo him. It was the theme this week.........and that is why Taylor changed it up. yikes

[mm50mm50]

It's nice tu see when everybody TRIES to sing elvis's songs, but you will never sing as elvis! Elvis was, is and always be the king!

[Vigdoria]

I like this.. but ..! i hate it when he makes words longer..like cryhieeees.. its ugly.. but this song.. is ugly with ur on taste .. Elvis tha man! hes a legend..

[Nidoray]

He's not even to compare to Elvis ffs..

[delepine]

Great Job

[EMBM192008]

He will never sing this song like Elvis Elvis's daughter sing this song better Taylor):

[Beckee71]

This is a sad day when we have to judge Taylor Hicks vs. ELVIS shame on us. He is the King for a reason..

[scarlett24ca]

Wow..if I had never heard the Elvis version then yea it would have been good. But I have so no offence he sucks..but one things 4 sure hes got balls tryn 2 sing The Kings song.

[GambleD13]

I really like Taylor, but I absoloutely LOVE this song, and he simply did not pull it off. Infact he ruined it. Plain and simple. Ruined.

[trudietighe]

Load of shit!

[arsgrande]

you can't do this with so a perfect and classic song!!! its ok but can and will never reach the real one

[TheAngryVideoEditor]

wtf!! this is supposed to be a sad song, not a funky hip pop song! fuck IDOL!!!

[joshxr7]

fuck you

[mikeatkinso]

Terrible version of this great song.

[cleoncello]

taylor! u suck! absolutley horrible. Dont try to sing the kings songs ever again! what a insult to elvis's music

[Meli0decfan]

elvis presley is so much better as Tayler Hicks!!!

[jmsins]

Elvis dead before Taylor was born how could he be Taylor Hicks?

[vegas4323]

HE REALLY SUCKS !!!

[seemegonow]

Elvis just rolled over in his grave.  At least you could do is get the lyrics right. You suck!

[stormsash]

great shut the rest up fools

[jim2t6]

its so fun hicks its getting so much put downs here - and yet you americans voted him and he won :S:S thats kinda weird !! cant beat Irish music - we dont need your talent shows

[bushman174]

he needs dropped off you tube. i wouldnt waste a squirt of piss on him. cant sing at all he always look like hes taking a shit on every song he sings.

[ballpark4]

recording studios only curr bout the mony they could give a damn about the art that is music..

[rawkinchika]

omg taylor hicks is an AMAZING singer and this song is the best elvis song ever

[KakumeiKochou]

I think I like Cartman's rendition from South Park a bit better. XD

[40nfriendly]

hey planetrockcity can u sing better well if ya cant shut ur lousd mouth ok pal i think this guys good so shut the hell up

[AllahConsciousness]

.000000000000000001/10 Elvis Presley stars.

I wish Elvis were alive today to put these American Idol people in their place....

=-(

(cry, cry, cry)

[Loveboylove1989]

@AllahConsciousness I wish i could hear Taylor sing this whole song. He did pretty good with as much as he could sing of it.

[hnksnw]

I'd like to see Hicks crucified.

[planetrockcity]

This guy fucking sucks. grey haired fucking goof.

[artbychristine]

For those who say "Elvis is / was better" than this - well, yeah, OK ..what's your point?

I'm pretty sure the show is called "American Idol , not "Who sings better than Elvis?"

[atrofeed]

Chandler Bing with white hair.

[MrsTaylorHicks909]

taylor is one of the best newer singers out there. and he is also VERY easy on the eyes. :)

[rachylrae]

if hes that great, why was his contract dropped?

[OMalleysAnatomy26]

Is he the next Elvis? Well the closest one we have right now I think.

[stbamd]

I think Taylor Hicks has more soul than marvyn gaye, just amazing, fun to watch and a great singer!!! fantastic performance of this song, beta than elvis any day!!!

[yesitsme9]

Absolutely brilliant. The best contestant ever on AI in my opinion.

[gummypair]

wow i didnt evean relize how much he sucked their the 1st time 1 saw this but he sucked badly i am srry but wow bad randy paula and simon are wrong!!!!!!!!!

[hannahsmynumba1]

i know!!

[jmsins]

Strong & brilliant, just like him!

[ringorules987]

I feel the same way as I did for all of his performances, a very weak and mediocre version of the original.

Face it, Elvis will always be better.

[jams1004]

Weak and lame, just like him.

[palpinknose]

Great version of this song. This guy definitely has the goods -- he was the real deal. Let's just hope his second album shows off his unique talent and style. Unfortunately, Hick's first album was pretty cheesey :(

[red425]

I love the song but this fucktard ruined it for me (the fucktard being taylor hicks).

[MrsTaylorHicks909]

you know what is rubbish? cowell. yup yup. taytay rox.

[Lamae2]

Taylor is a wonderfully unique talent. Soul, blues & a southern rocker! He is not a pop cookie cutter performer. And Dan Akroyd invited Taylor & his band to a fundraiser & Dan jammed with Taylor. I can't imagine Dan Akroyd jamming with any of the other idols. Taylor is a soulman!

[sunshine255]

agreed

[Lamae2]

That was beautiful. Taylor is a great person and performer. Run, don't walk to one of his concerts, and you'll be a fan forever!

[ThePurpleHarpoon]

What's Cowell on about ?

It was absolute rubbish.

[iloveamericani6]

katharine mcphee was way better, way better vocals, and u need a serious reality check if u think he was the best american idol. obviously, u must have forgotten kelly clarkson, carrie underwood, fantasia, and even jordin sparks

[iloveamericani6]

i dont get it, how is his singing great!?

[Lamae2]

I never get tired of Taylor Hicks music and he's easy on the eyes, too.!

[citizenchrissy]

We keep watching these over and over, and it feels the same every time... soulful, beautiful.

[belkerri]

he's like, "ghe-to" haha, i love him.

he's way better than that Katharine McPhee skank.

[SoulThing1981]

agreed

[AhinsakaPora]

One of my favorite Elvis songs.. and he does it more than justice. Just beautiful.

[paytonja]

How old is he???

[simpsonfan12096]

Volume was very low.. but Taylor is the BOMB!!!!

[samditt]

You could hear every word and every word was sung with feeling. GREAT EXPRESSION! SUNG WITH EMOTION, AND TEAR JERKING. Will we ever get tired of watching and listening to these videos?

[artbychristine]

Never - this is an iconic performance. I keep coming back to this and YASB.

[samditt]

Thanks for the comment. I have given up watching Taylor for awhile so I can get my housework done and all the other obligations I am neglecting. LOL He is really addictive. I wonder if he reads some of these comments.

[anneca1919]

Taylor was very good on both Elvis songs! Anne

[mariev06]

THIS WAS ONE OF HIS BEST PERFORMANCES

[TEgnoto89]

Preeetty good!

[Singergurl03]

GO TAYLOR!!! I voted for Taylor evrytime! Soul Patrol!

[pimppastorjj]

Volume is too low...wtf!

[SasukeGaara8]

no its not, its fine =D

[azamzaheerulhaq]

Nice song!! Taylor is the number one singer!!
