:) I checked them all out and cast my vote as for sure Taylor is the best in my opinion. One thing that surprises me is that Taylor has gotten some truly great reviews on "The Distance" yet for some reason it is not selling as well as it should be. He is not even showing up on the charts right now which is sad I think. It is such an awesome album, I just do not get it. One comment that was made on that Garcia review is that Taylor will not kiss a.. and maybe that is why he is not getting alot of radio play. I have requested some of his songs and they always say we will see what we can do but have yet to hear his new music on the radio. They play Daughtry constantly and I am so sick of his music I could scream. So now I am mainly listening to my cds and tapes I made of Taylor. I hope Taylor continues to be a success in spite of record sales.

It is sad that Taylor is not getting played... I just don't get it. I read somewhere that some fans are v angry that there local stations won't even consider his music and I don't get it.. He's tons better than most of the crap I hear on the radio, it just makes no sense to me.. I know a lot of people are now saying that they didn't give him a fair chance on Idol and that they've listened to his songs from the Distance and it's a good Cd but the sales just don't go up. I heard that it's harder for an Indi to get played and to chart but this is just sad...

I agree with both of you. I put my votes in for our Taylor.

Did you notice...his rating is high (over 92%) which is good. But they have his occupation listed as...Reality TV star???? Where the hell do they get that idea?

I guess because he did win a Reality show it dubed him a Reality star or something,, What ever he is I like...... :)

Good point Sandy. Never thought about it that way, but you are right. As a winner of American Idol he would be a reality TV star (and then some).

Would it be shameful of me to vote more than once for him?

Shame on you for even trying to vote more than once!!!!!!! That's awful...

Oh did I tell you that I did vote more than once that is...

You sly one.....

I've been doing alot of voting today. Voted for Taylor here on these links, voted for Danny Gokey as Mr Twitter on Twitter and voted for Rascal Flatts on the CMT website. Can you say...BUSY? Yepper, that be me.

Insofar as Taylor being a reality TV star, be honest as we examine- what else COULD you call him presently? He's an awesome musician and singer...without major mainstream success. He's a Broadway actor that hasn't reached Tony status. He hasn't been on TV (beyond Idol) or movies, nor is he in commercials after the initial Ford ad two years ago.
Not that I'm saying any negative things, just keepin' it real here.

Taylor did do one other commercial for the Golf channel. It was promoting the Regional Golf Classical in Alabama he attended recently. Gaaaaaawd, he looked so handsome. Other than that Tyg, your assessment is spot on.

Did he? Missed that, sorry. But you see what I mean.

I totally see what you mean.

This is how I found out about the commercial. I was channel surfing and, for some odd reason, stopped on the Golf Channel. Which is weird because I'm not really into golf. But a few seconds of hesitation and there he was. Our Taylor promoting the Regional Golf Classic in Alabama.
