Taylor Hicks - American Idol 5 - Final 5 - Current Billboard Songs

Taylor Hicks
Song: Something  Check out 'Something' at Amazon.com (The Beatles  Check out 'The Beatles' at Amazon.com)

Taylor Hicks on the Idol stage tonight... we all know there's something in the way he moves!
Somehow Taylor has managed to select a song released in 1969 as his current Billboard song!
George Harrison's "Something" is a clever choice for other reasons too, not least that it fits his voice like a glove. It's also quite an apt lyric for Taylor, because as we all know, there's definitely "Something in the way he moves"!
Taylor performs the song beautifully and sounds like he's really living it. He even throws in one of his trademark vocal flourishes during the closing bars.
The only minor minus point is that Taylor fluffs the lyric slightly near the end, however, he covers this up so well that very few would notice.
All in all, this is Taylor's second great performance in a row. Simon tells him "It's very easy to forget, with all your barminess, that you're a very, very good singer".
Taylor and his Soul Patrollers definitely have "something" to "whoo!" about tonight!

Panel-Bites:

Ryan Seacrest:  (Introduction) One more left before we open up the lines, and it's a Beatles classic. It's from an album that's at number six on the top pop catalogue chart. With "Something" here is Taylor Hicks once again...

Taylor sings...

¯ Something in the way she moves ¯ Attracts me like no other lover ¯ Something in the way she woos me ¯ I don't want to leave her now ¯ You know I believe her now ¯ You're asking me will my love grow ¯ I don't know, I don't know ¯ You stick around now it may show ¯ I don't know, I don't know ¯ Something in the way she knows ¯ And all I have to do is think of her ¯ Something in the way she-ee knows ¯ Don't want to leave her now ¯ Whoa-ho ¯ You know I believe in how ¯ Mm-mm-hmm ¯

(Cheers and applause)

Randy Jackson:  Whoa. Wow. Well here's the cool... (Continuing cheers. Randy laughs) ...Here's the cool part man. You chose a great song. I mean it was a nice tender moment man, but I like this whole Beatles vibe. I mean, we need a Beatles night goin' on here man. C'mon, am I right Paula? (Nudges Paula, Simon laughs)

Paula Abdul:  Listen I... I think that it's very daring to sing a song like that, but you... you moved it tenderly it was... (Cheers) ...you didn't oversing it, you just did it right.

Randy Jackson:  Simon?

Simon Cowell:  Well that was... (Laughing) ...I don't know how you got a song which is 30 years old into hits of today but... that was clever. Um, you know what Taylor? It's very easy to forget, with all your barminess, that you're a very, very good singer.

Taylor: (Throws his head back) Whoo! Whoo!

Simon Cowell:  That was good.

Taylor: Thank you Simon! Thank you. (Shakes himself to see if he'll wake up)

Ryan Seacrest:  (Joins Taylor on stage) It seems tonight has a happy ending doesn't it?

Taylor: Yah! Happy ending! Thank you.

Ryan Seacrest:  How d'you feel when you were singing?

Taylor: Oh man, I... You know, I love The Beatles an'... and to be able to sing a Beatles song, right now, I mean I just... it thrills me. You know they were great... great band and... (Pats his chest)

Fans in audience: We love you Taylor!

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you.

Randy Jackson:  How much do you love him? (Gives out the voting numbers)

Taylor: Soul patrol.

Randy Jackson:  Taylor Hicks ladies and gentlemen. (Shakes hands with Taylor)

Taylor: Yay! I'll buy it man. Thank you. Appreciate it very much.
