He Had Me at Ray

I watched the first two seasons of "American Idol" and lost interest until this season. It was the preliminary auditions where I saw a white boy with gray hair channeling Ray Charles. I was hooked on seeing how far this very non pop idol type would go.

For me, I was touched by his joy of singing and chants of "Soul Patrol". He has the same kind of sincerity and heart that eminated from Clay Aiken. I wanted to see Clay win. So, it was nice to see Taylor win.

Unfortunately the song that will be his first release is pop junk. No big surprise. Hopefully he can ride his idol contract out and then break away to do his own thing.
