Re: Question about Taylor
Posted by sjm71505
I think the question is...what is an American Idol? IMO, I think some who appeals to a wide range of people AND sells a lot of albums (because, lets face it, if you don't sell albums, you don't appeal to people enough for them to spend money on you). So, although I liked Taylor and found him entertaining, unique, and talented, I don't think he should have won. In the end, he likely won't sell that many albums except for the inital sales. I heard someone in the press say today if America wanted to hear someone who sings like Joe Cocker, Joe Cocker's music would be at the top of the charts.
The only true American Idol so far has been Kelly Clarkson, but time will tell...

I understand the point the press person is trying to make, but considering that Joe Cocker hasn't put out a new album in 15 yrs. I don't think you can really compare. However in 2001 Joe Cocker and Tina Turner (both of whom hadn't had new singles out in many years) were the number one tour of the year.
I think that Taylor will do well. I think that many Americans enjoy his voice because he does have a voice that reminds them of the oldies, but goodies. I also think that his voice will translate wonderfully to recording. I don't think that you have to see him to feel the passion he has for what he does.

I don't want to "rain on the parade" - I am very happy he won (I was tired of women always winning), but honestly, was he really the best one? 
I never watched AI but I did watch the last 10 minutes last night and then saw his performance. 
i said the same thing ...i will admit im not an avid AI watcher but he didnt seem all that impressive to me

Re: Question about Taylor
IMO, Elliott had the best voice (I picked him to win based on voice alone). Taylor, OTOH, has a great voice *and* personality, which is what helped "America" fall in love with him.  
I think he won by a landslide.
