Taylor Made
As I had hoped for, and predicted, Taylor Hicks, is now America’s “Idol”. In the star-studded 2 hour finale that you likely stay glued to like me, it was Katharine vs. Taylor, McPheever vs. the Soul Patrol as performers Meatloaf, Mary J. Blige, Tony Braxton, Al Jarreau, the band Live, and, former Idols and now big stars, Carrie Underwood and Clay Aiken, shared the stage with the last group of Idol contestants who had been picked off one by one the past several weeks. Very slick. Very entertaining. Prince made a surprise appearance near the end of the show with a less than royal performance.
As you may have read in a previous post, this was the first year I tuned into American Idol. I guess my love of healthy competition combined with my love of music to get the best of me and turn me into a late blooming Idol Addict.
After his coronation, Taylor summed it all up best when he screamed, in utter jubilation, “I’m living the American Dream!”
Now, Canadian Idol begins.
