Screw you, world!
I love Taylor Hicks!
SO, today when we were in theatre doing nothing for four hours, I wrote a list of the most kickass and memorable things Taylor Hicks has ever done -
thus the picspam (or as I like to call it HICKS SPAM!)

LET'S GET SOME PICS AND VIDS IN THIS BITCH!
Oh yeah, and foul language SHALL AND WILL be used, mofos!

1. When Taylor Hicks was born - Oct. 7, 1976 at 3:30 am
[no picture currently available for the moment that Sex was born]



Ok, um seriously? Looking back on it, he had like...one of the cutest auditions ever. He was like, "I'm winning this bitch - so you all can leave." He came. He saw. He freaking CONQURED!



I don't care who you are - that is supa fly. Although, now the world finally knows how much I hate some of Taylor Hicks' shirts.
This is one of them....
>.<



For real ya'll, if you guys don't listen to some of his earlier live tracks....you are so missing out. There are some great moments in there, i.e. "This one's for Jessica" and "Don't ever fuck with anyone's dog and don't ever date a musician!"



Ok, I know he's not in fifth grade in a lot of these pictures - but c'mon, Taylor Hicks was the cutest little thing in the world. And when I read that story about being stood up by that girl at the mini golf course, I "awww'd" myself into an adorable seizure. SRLSY!? And I love his little Taylor Hicks' smile in that second photo. Sidenote: Why in God's green earth is he so dang tan in all of these?!

EAT IT SIMON! "Whoppee" was pretty funny, though. I just think that's the coolest and bravest thing anyone has ever done at that show. I keep thinking, what if they said no? He would look like a total jackass on TV. But no, he was confident in getting in that he pulled that shit! On another note; Chris Sligh walked in and said, "Now...you're probably wondering why I called this meeting." and that's when I was like Taylor Hicks > Chris Sligh.
OH! And I love the fact Kellie Pickler is in that.



Eat your heart out, Jennifer Hudson

SIMON: Yeah, I totally take all that shit back, bro
TAYLOR: Too late, I will not get you hot women
SIMON: C'mon, you're like a chick magnet
TAYLOR: No, no, no
CHRIS: HAI GUYS! Simon, can I kiss ass for a moment of you time?



I swear to God this is my last Hollywood Week post. Sorry, but that was a really good week. I especially love these screen caps. He's so scared and yet, so relieved



I don't care who you are; if you start anything in a bunny suit, you already have my vote. I hate to be so un-original, but really this night was the night I was like, "Hm....I think I'm voting for Taylor Hicks the rest of my life!"
Also: Did you guys see how animated he was as the Easter Bunny?! He was talking with his arms/hands so much!



'Nuff said. JSYK - that clip of Randy saying, "But dude...the dancing was...." is from this episode. Of course we all know that, but I'm pretty proud one of the most overused clips in AI history is because of our man!

11. Everytime Taylor Was Safe on Elimination Night
I think a true American Idol, is one who is never in the bottom aka Taylor Hicks. I could rant about this for days; but America...if you love your Chris Daughtry so much, why was he in the bottom so many times? ZIIING!
But yeah, everytime they said, "Taylor...you are safe." I was like, "CALLED IT!" but deep down inside there was still that little bit of anticipation in me so on the inside, I was like, "Oh thank the Lord!"



I have no idea what's going on with the finger pointing, so don't even ask.
But yeah, can we just talk about the outfit here? The shirt...is excellent. The jeans are great. Actually, I love when Taylor Hicks is all casual in jeans and t-shirt (a shirt that doesn't suck). AND THOSE SHOES! I just noticed that these are blue boots (bowling shoes? tba) with pink laces.



This is a good example of one of Taylor's shirts that I wouldn't mind going Farenheit 451 on and burning it.
Anyways, I love the changing of the songs. Because I was like, "Oh good he's doing We Are the Champions, that's fine" but I kinda hoped he would do a less familiar song. AND OMG LYKE, HE CHOSE MY SECOND FAV. SONG BY QUEEN!!! If he did "Good All Fashioned Lover Boy" I would die, like...literarly die. But I only fangirl died because "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is only my second favorite Queen song.

14. OH, and did I mention that TAYLOR HICKS PERFORMED WITH QUEEN?!
My Favorite Band, please meet My Favorite Singer :D

15. The double kicked microphone
Shit be hard to kick. Too bad my computer LOST my screencap of this beautiful moment in AI history!
-cries for a million years.



Maybe it's because I'm a teen, but he looked danm good in that outfit. And he sang that song like it was his bitch.



Oh, so much fun. I think it's funny that Simon made that little 'drunk Uncle at a wedding dancing' joke, because now we have the infamous Paula (who's been allegedly drunk on the show, believe what you want) dancing and we all now she and Simon are totally having an idol affair for the records.
SUCK ON IT!
Also, did I mention he sounded really good singing this?
Sidenote; we can all just assume he sang every song really well, right?



Do I prefer Taylor Hicks' version to Otis Redding's? Well, I don't think that would be fair to say....(*cough* YES *cough*)
Oh, and did anyone happen to notice how FIIIIINE Taylor looked in that suit?!



Ahahha, the smirk. Anyways, this was the moment that millions of hearts melted.



AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW! PUPPY DOG EYES! PUPPY DOG EYES!

21. Elvis Week
Hell, Elvis Week in general was good. That's when I realized how awesome our season 5 was. Didn't everyone in the top ten get some sort of a record deal? Not only that, didn't almost everone break the top twenty on the billboard charts at one point or another? Anyways, that was a good week for Idol. Best week ever.



Did anyone else here totally lose it when Taylor sang "Burning Love"?
BECAUSE I TOTALLY DID
I am not afraid to admit that I also lost it when Chris sang "Love Me, Tender". That guy was HOT. (Not as hot as Taylor - he was always second fiddle to Taylor)



Not only did hearts melt, relaionships were torn apart, married women divorced their husbands out of the blue, The Gaza Strip and The West Bank said, "Really...this whole 'fighting' nonesense isn't a big deal - NOW SHUTUP! TAYLOR HICKS IS ADORABLE!"
This, by the way, is the number one most played song on my iPod. IT'S JUST SO DANM GOOOOOD!
Dear Taylor,
Please release this on your next, CD.
K'thnx Bye
XOXO, Sarah



You know, everytime some one would leave the show, Taylor would look like, "Oh I'm so very sorry to hear that" or whatever. But this time, his facial expression is like, "ELLIOTT! YOU ARE MY GUY LOVER AND MY BFFAE!!! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE WITH KATHERINE MCPHEE!!!!!!!!"
And what was twice as sad is the fact that the top three were all buddy buddy that night and HELLO?! TITTS (hehe) dancing with Kat and Elliott?! THAT WAS SO AWESOME!



Other than Kelly and Justin have he had such a kickass top two. I mean, I don't have the McPhever - but those two looked like they generally got a long pretty well. Where they BFB? I can't tell. But all their press photos are actually really cute.



OK, so the quality of that photo is terrible - but I have a feeling that whoever put it on the sight already edited it a ton to make it look like it wasn't taken with a cellphone camera (which I think it was)
WHO CARES?! THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS TAYLOR HICKS HAS EVER DONE!

27. SNL Spoofs
So I know technically this doesn't count because Taylor isn't really in it. But danm, I was so proud. You know you're hot shit when you're spoofed on SNL...twice!



KELLIE: I'm going to hug you
TAYLOR: No you're not
KELLIE: YAY! HUGGY HUGS!
TAYLOR: OK, huggy hugs.



All of them were so freaking good this year. Seriously, this is the best season of American Idol...ever



TAYLOR: OMG! STEVE ILU
STEVIE: Oh, Hai Taylor. I like you. You have a nice voice. SOUL PATROL!
TAYLOR: *fangirly cry* AAAAAH!!!!

31. He made the Hoff cry!!!!

Did ya do that Chris?!

32. Clay Aiken Kid
Well, it really shouldn't be on here - but c'mon. It's the finale.

33. Being the Gracious Winner
He like, woo'd for two seconds before he hugged Kat. Aahhh, again. Very Kelly/Justin-ish?
Let's re-live that moment again. Where were you?

I just said, "Taylor Hicks" and then Ryan said it and I was like, "CALLED IT!"



RYAN: Taylor - what would you like to say to your fans?
TAYLOR: SOOOOUL PAATROOOOOL!!!

Aww. We love you too [:

35. Bill Will gets interviewed
ILU TAPPANGA!
Anyways, after the finale they interviewed him and they introduced him as "Bill Will, Taylor Hicks' best friend."
AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!! ♥♥♥

36. The Media Frenzie Post - Finale
So many good vids and pics came from that, I can't possibly put them all on here!

37. The Backspin on Fox + Friends


SUCK ON THAT HALLE AND YOUR CARTWHEEL!
And that chick afterwards kept rubbing his back to get the dirt off aka checking out his ass.
(PS - remember when that was called the onion? I never got that...)



Just like the finale, I can tell you where I was, how I felt, why I came across it, etc. That moment for me will forever be in my mind. But seriously, those were the hottest pictures ever to grace a magazine. He looked so good.
I wish People put more photos of him in their magazine. I mean, already People loves Taylor (and we love them too!) So naturally, the best photos of him should come from there.

39. Oh, and have I mentioned...
Taylor Hicks is a stone cold FOX?!


Totes.

40. When Taylor Hicks met me
Fricken computer! I CAN'T FIND THE PHOTO! But here's what happened;
SARAH: Hi, I'm Sarah, and I love you
TAYLOR: Oh, really?
SARAH: Yes.

AHAHAHA! TAYLOR O RLY?'D ME!!!!



That was a danm good tour (because that was a danm good set of idols!)
Although, I hated the "Taylor" sign they'd put behind him. It's like, we get it.
Oh and the little montage they played when he sang, "DIMYP?" was pretty cheesy, but whatever.

42. Taylor on gofish.com


He looked so embarrassed to read all those names. More embarrassed to watch those videos.
And it looks like he typed it all up and was reading it.
Aw, Taylor. Come to my school where I'm majoring in theatre and we'll teach ya how it's done.

By the way - is he the only artist that does that "Artist's Voice" thing on gofish? LOL.



Again, I know where I was, who I was with, etc.
It was a great day

44. The Album Press Tour
So many great moments - especially from Martha
[too lazy to put anything here - it's 2 am, okay? I've been working on this for five hours!]



I....can't really put into words just how awesome this is. For some reaosn, he just looks so good and it's all just so right. He was born for Christmas specials, srsly.



SRLY!!! HE WAS THE GRAND MARSHAL!!!! That was kickass.



Not just one tournament in particular - but like, all of them.
He just looks so good on the green. SO RIIIGHT! Like, Green + Him = meant to be forever and ever ♥

48. Those Videos
One of the many reasons I miss graycharles.com

[you're not allowed to embed them]

Taylor says 'Rectum'

AAAH! THERE'S A GREASE POSTER IN THE BACKGROUND!



50. Hawaii
My jealousy took over.
Thus, there are no photos for Hawaii.
Only the sad reminder that Taylor Hicks is no longer single
moment of silence.

Thank you.



It took me six hours to read. Well five and half because I took a thirty minute food break.
If you haven't read it - READ IT!
He talks about losing his virginity on prom night.
Taylor Hicks - you bustah.

52. The Tour
I was waaaay too tired to sit through all those photos to make a little something.
Also - he cancelled the show in Houston, so really...I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SEE IT!
So here's what I missed;

COME BACK TO HOUSTON!

53. You saw the Grease poster in the background....
I don't care what ya'll say. The Grease announcement was exciting
(and people - you UNDERLINE play titles!)



Out of all the photos - these two are my favorites. Very candid, very real, the focus is nice and the contrast is beautifully done. All in all - good weekend for good Taylor Hicks pictures :D

Honorable Mention
aka photos that I like that I couldn't fit anywhere else
[or just forgot about until right now]



Whoever ps'd the photos for the album - super soul patrol kudos.
Because, srsly. These look amazing.



SHADOW :D



Look at that pose. He is so ready for Broadway



HUGGY HUGS!!!



ILU MOHAWK!







Aww, ILU Sesaon 5 [':
Also - Kat, trade places? K'thnx bye



GOOD LORD, MAN! I knew you were thin, I didn't know you were manorexic!





I remember this photo was the photo next to the poll that said, "Taylor lost weight and got a hair cut - would you date him now?"
And it was like 70-something "yes" and 20 - something "no" or whatever.
And one of the comments said, "He looks so much like George Clooney!"



AOL and People take the best photos of Taylor, srsly.



OMG! ILU TAYLOR ON MTV!
Whoever told him to wear that....great job
[and if Taytay picked the outfit himself, I love him even more]



UGH! KILL ME HE LOOKS SO GOOD!

AND NOW SOME OF MY FAV. VIDEOS;
