Taylor Hicks

Wow. Not a single guy, no pun intended, in that top 14 that I find even remotely attractive.

Oh well, congrats to Taylor fans.

I also don't see "the hot". He's one of those guys that if he was in a bar and was hitting on girls they'd be like "Go away old man" but now he's the Idol and he's suddenly hot.

I also get annoyed by the constant comparisons to George Clooney. Ok they both have gray hair. Um, and they're guys. That's about it.

Although I'll say right now that Taylor annoys me. His hurkey jerky dancing annoys me. His gray hair annoys me. His constant "Woo hoo! Soul Patrol" annoys me. When he made it to the finals I had hoped he'd be one of the first to go.

Definitely. He looks nothing like George Clooney. He's fatter, meatier, smuger (which really I didn't think was possible) with beady-eyes, insanely huge hairy eyebrows and he looks like he smells.

And really did all other single men leave America? Because that is the only way that man is the Most Eligible Bachelor.

I know a lot of folks think he's hot but he creeps me out. He reminds me of this old guy my mom used to tell me to stay away from. This guy would hang around high schools, just watching the young girls.

Taylor Hicks looks like one of those guys "Dateline NBC" catches.

I think he would be very hot minus 30 pounds. You can tell that they airbrush the double chin off of him for pictures.

There are high school pictures of him floating around - dark hair, beard - but it's mostly the fact that he was thinner that's so hot.

ETA - Isnt there a rumor going on that 19E didnt sign him and he signed up with The Firm?

PLEASE let this be true!

For your viewing pleasure.

Gah. I hate ad-exec-speak:

"Taylor is a perfect fit for Ford Motor Company," KIMBERLY CAPE, Advertising Manager for Ford and Lincoln Mercury, tells ET. "Having him featured in our end-of-the-year model clearance event is another bold move by Ford Motor Company, and we know bold wins. Taylor is living his American dream and that is bold. He has the energy, the passion and the charisma."

Shut up, Kimberly Cape. "Bold wins." Such nonsense.

Oh yes, those pics are freakin sizzling! He should really lose those extra pounds and grow that beard again at least. I don't have a single problem with the salt and pepper hair so he can keep that.

High school photos. A trainer, no carbs, and he'll be back to form in no time. I think Taylor will probably benefit from Bo's disastrous turn as a pop star, but 19E can be very stupid sometimes, so we'll see. I wonder if they'll let any of his previous recordings onto his new CD.

One of the weeklies has a story about his mother losing custody of him because of an alcohol problem so Taylor probably didn't appreciate Simon's comments about him looking drunk when he sang. There's also a sidebar about a secret brother no one could locate or cared to discuss (maybe he's hooked up with Elliott's secret sister?).

I guess I'm in the minority here, but this guy totally creeps me out. I couldn't even watch AI because of him. Whenever he was on the screen I'd change the channel.

Taylor is filming an ad for Ford which will feature him singing a new song. It's funny how the Ford jingle people could dream up something better suited for him than the AI songwriters.

I like the photo of Taylor in the limo, but most of the guys they chose look like they could use a good bath! I guess that I'm too old to appreciate scruffy men as being attractive in any way. To me, they just look like they smell bad.
