The HotBlog Stand!

"See you at the finish line buddy" were my exact words when there were a dozen hopefuls left in the world's hottest talent search American Idol! And even though I failed to write about it, I've been saying for months now that it would be McPheever standing right next to him. I just love it when I'm right! Congratulations Taylor! And Katharine... you are still one HOT Rising Star that will no doubt be singing your way right onto the big screen one day.

SOUL PATROL! SOUL PATROL! SOUL PATROL! Words that will define Alabama's very own Taylor Hicks as he adventures on into the world of super-stardome. And I'm predicting that Mr. "Gray Charles" as Taylor has been referred to by some of the locals down here in good old L.A. will be making plenty of headlines as he and his fellow IdolMates will be heading off to tour The States all Summer long. For more details, you can go to Fox's AmericanIdol.com

For some less commercial information on America's Soul Patrol leader himself, check out The Gray Charles (GrayCharles.com) website. This is a clean WordPress driven site with active blogging toting the sub-title of "The Taylor Hicks Weblog - Make It Do What It Do Baby." The site is packed with conversation on Taylor and his musical, soulful journey. Having much to offer a true SOUL PATROLLER on the grass-roots icon, I was unable to determine the true owner of this site, as the registered owner, though from Birmingham, appears to be a ficticious name.

If you are wanting to get Taylor Hicks most recent CD release Under The Radar, its available at Laser's Edge Records located in Taylor's home town of Birmingham, Alabama.

Well...that about wraps up season five here at The HotBlog Stand. Again, congratulations Taylor Hicks and hugs and kisses to the very luscious Katharine McPhee for being right there with him all the way! You ROLL ON there SOUL MAN. We are looking forward to next seasons Idol Wrap, and we can't wait to see what next for America's most watched prime-time entertainment American Idol.
