It’s Rough Being Me

February 24, 2009 · 18 comments

Did I mention that I’m going to see Taylor Hicks tomorrow?

As in Taylor Hicks of American Idol fame.

Yeah.  That Taylor Hicks.

We go way back.

Either that or I won passes on the radio.  Who am I to split hairs though?

He’s in town starring in the Broadway version of Grease.  Our local radio station scored an acoustic concert with him.  He’s coming to play for me an intimate gathering  before he gets all transformed into Teen Angel.

I’ll be one of maybe twenty-ish guests in attendance.

With so few people in the room he’ll have no choice but to make eye contact with each and every one of us don’t you think?

And when my turn comes I’m going to send him telepathic vibes to give me one of those soul patrol “owwwww’s” he made famous during his stint on AI.

I love it when he does that.

I also hope to get pictures but I’m not sure if they’re going to allow me to take a camera inside the studio.

If so, you all will be the first to know.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I’m excited because you’re excited…but I have a feeling this would mean more had I watched American Idol and knew anything about Taylor Hicks.

Lucky, lucky you!!! Especially in such a small group. I’m sure Taylor will make every effort to give some time to each of you. And an acoustic concert, how glorious! Being anywhere near Taylor Hicks is an exciting and thrilling experience. If you do make eye contact, be prepared to lose all brain function! lol Those eyes will make you forget how to breathe…or even stand up! Enjoy yourself, and savor every second you’re in the same room with him. You lucky, lucky person you! Am I jealous?? You betcha. So much so I’ve turned green!

BTW Heather — get to know Taylor Hicks. You’ll be blown away! There’s no one like him around today — sweet, gorgeous, generous…and TALENTED!!!! You won’t be sorry!

First of all, love, love, LOVE American Idol. My husband (who has a degree in and huge talent for anything music) and I watch the show religiously. Mostly we make fun but we also hand out merits where they are due.

I have to admit Taylor Hicks was not our favorite Idol. He was entertaining to watch but I’m just not sure he’s got that star quality. Time will tell.

Sidenote: Did you see the segment on Regis and Kelly where they played matchmaker for him? I felt it was a bit awkward.

I think you’re sucking all the good luck out of the atmosphere… My good luck was the other day when I found a Mike’s hard lemonade that I didn’t know I had at the back of the fridge.

Good for you…have a great time!

I love a good story. I SO hope you get to take your camera. Taylor will have no other choice but to make eye contact with you, after all… what is the grocery guy said — you’re a hottie, right?

Can’t wait to hear all about it.

Eye contact, huh? Just remember that there’s a thin line between the eye contact of an admirer and that of a raving luntatic. Which side will you fall on?
