Taylor Hicks on American Idol – Boogie Viewing Party

As a follow-up to the previous entry, I’d like to invite you to join us on The Boogie Board for a viewing party.  You do have to be a member to log-in, but membership is free and we are a fun bunch of people (I promise).

It should prove to be a great night of frivolity and mayhem the likes of which have not been seen since the days of the Bacchanal!

Okay, so maybe I wouldn’t go that far, but it will be fun and it’s a good chance to get your feet wet if you’re new to The Board and a chance for the veterans to reconnect.

Put on your party hats, lay out the hors d’oeuvres, and unlock the liquor cabinet!

Anyone remember these cartoons from “back in the day”?

Taylor Hicks on American Idol TONIGHT!

Be sure to tune into American Idol tonight at 9EST.  Taylor Hicks will be performing his next single Seven Mile Breakdown.  New fans know the song from Taylor’s latest release The Distance, while longtime fans will recognize the tune as a Spoonful James cover.  The original appears on their 2001 album of the same name and is a personal favorite of mine.

Hear mp3 At GreatIndieMusic.com

I hear tell Taylor has reworked this Southern Rock gem into a bonafide Country song in an attempt to break into Country radio.  While most people can’t tell the difference between the two genres, they are indeed distinct.  I sincerely hope Taylor is successful in this Country attempt because Country radio seems to be more accepting of new talent and is expanding more into the “rock” feel of the music.  I’ve thought a few of Taylor’s past songs would have worked very well as crossover hits, but they were never marketed to Country radio stations.

Anyway …

Taylor Hicks.
American Idol.
Tonight – 9:00EST.

Be there or be square! (I know, I know – I’m a dork).

Taylor Hicks: Tweet Master?

Most regular readers and Boogie Boarders are familiar with Katja and her wonderful creations (I know that Taylor himself is a fan).  Taylor’s adventures in Tweeting have inspired her once again.

Learning the Way of the Tweet:

Taylor Hicks: Teen Angel & Master of the Tweet:

Thanks once again, Katja!  You are The Boogie! 

Tweet!

Taylor (apparently) Tweeted from “The Cone” last night.  Too Funny!  Ever since he started this Grease gig, we have wondered what he does in there.  When he joined Twitter, some folks on The Boogie Board speculated/joked that he would Tweet from it, so to actually get those messages last night was just hilarious!

hollyb, on March 30th:

“I am in the cone.”
“I am about to open the cone.”
“I’ll be right back after I sing this song.”
“I’m back in the cone. Crowd was great, man.”

Missy1027, also March 30th:

I am in the cone, ya know
Actually I am about to open the cone
I’ll be right back, ya know after I sing this song
Actually, I’m back in the cone, ya know the crowd was actually great, man.

LOL!!
