That's Taylor Hicks? I'm pleasantly surprised. He really has a beautiful voice. I love the song. Are there any other songs from his album that I can listen to? If there are any more as good as this on, I'll gladly buy it.

You might be able to find more on his website or MySpace page. Just search for his name in your preferred web search engine.

As a Chris fan I have not been happy that Taylor Hicks won the American Idol..... I have not heard any of Taylor Hicks cd and this is nothing like I thought he would do ..... I was expecting Taking it to the street or something.... I don't think I can buy the cd even tho I do like this song.... I am using my money to buy Chris' cd. I have bought 23 so far!!!!!! my friends are buying lots of his cds also.... a guy in my english class has bought over 100... Chris cd is really great and I suggest that everyone go and buy one or 20 you won't be unhappy with your choice. We can make him the American Idol with buying his cd's.

Daughtry fan, are you a Claymate, or an ex-Claymate? The last time I heard something like you described was many years ago in an American Idol forum. The Claymates vowed tos buy tons of his CDs so that they can "beat Ruben". I thought it was pathetic then, and I think it's pathetic now. A guy in your English class bought over 100? That's just sad. What is he doing- giving them away as presents?
I'm sorry, but you will NOT make him an American Idol by buying his CDs. The contest ended last May. Taylor won. Chris came in fourth place. Get over it. But you know what- who cares? You really think Chris cares now that he didn't win? Of course not! He's fine. He's got a cool band and a great CD. In fact, I hear his music on the radio more often that I hear Taylor.
Buy his music because you like it, not because of some childish notion of "supporting" Chris by falsely inflating his album sales. You bought 23? Good grief.
You know, I was actually planning on heading over to Target and buy Chris' CD, but hearing stuff like this makes me want to download his music off Limewire instead.

Taylor's CD is half full of songs like "Just To Feel That Way" ....
and half uptempo. There will be those you enjoy more than others. Buy the CD..........give the guy the props he deserves.
Thanks for the positive vibes on "Just To Feel That Way".

Taylor has done very well on this first album after Idol. The radio play will begin after Feb. 5 when "Just To Feel That Way" is released.
Contrary to some popular rumors, the Soul Patrol is a cool bunch of people. We are not in this CD buying war, because we think that Taylor's music will sale itself! It just needs to be heard.
Thank you for your comments, and hope you all enjoy Taylor's album. OH... and check out his tour schedule! His concerts are so much fun!

Dude, just because a person posts on a public board that they are a Chris fan it doesn't make them one. No Chris fan has bought 100 cd's that's ridiculous. We don't have to. The Daughtry CD is about to go double platinum, riding high on the charts as well as in radioplay. But it was a good try to manipulate how Chris is riding the charts. Give a trophy to the SP who tried that, but it doesn't fly.

Lena, Why do you have to blame the SP for that post? First off I happen to be in the SP and proud of it, just like you are most likely a member of the Daughtry Tribe and I happen to believe, like you that the poster you are talking about is most likely a fake, but to blame the SP for every negative thing is ridicules.
I do believe that some fans may buy more CD's than any sane person would or should buy, but I don't think that would account for the amount of CD's that Daughtry has sold. If for example you could find 1000 fanatical fans that would buy 50 CD's each that would only account for 50,000 extra sales, which is nothing in comparison to the approx 1.3 million copies sold to date.
Now I like some of the songs that Chris has on his New Album (now here is where I'll get attacked) but I won't buy the album because it all sounds the same. Chris has a Great voice and a is a very good song writer, which is evident on his work with his prior band Absent Element but this New CD (in my opinion) is a POP version of Rock. If Chris puts out an album with songs like the songs I heard on the Absent Element web site I will buy it in a heartbeat. I hope Chris uses his newfound fame and Power to put out an Album that he would truly be proud to call ROCK.

great song - a little different from what I heard from Taylor last year on American Idol. I like it - enough to think about listening to more songs and buying the cd.

I think Taylor's album is great. Every song is has a different song -- you won't get bored. Seeing him in person is even better. He has a full tour schedule starting February 21st, and he puts on a great show.
11 - Witchypoo
That's Taylor? Hmmmm, that's really good.
12 - hap
the link to the song doesn't seem to work, error message
i would really like to hear it though

Just to Feel That Way has a lot of potential. More whomp to come on Taylor Hicks Tour, 2007. I'm a member of the proverbial "SP"; I like the blues, rock and r & b, gospel, the list goes on. Oh yeah and not a blue hair on me.
I say congrats to Daughtry - pretty good stuff, and I think his voice is way better than Chad Kroeger's. His next CD will tell the tale though...he can't stay successful with the Nickelback/Fuel groove forever.

hap (#12): If you mean the Hicks song, it still works. You need to have Windows Media installed. Just click the link and WM will open and start playing the streaming audio.

Taylor's song is great! ...not what I expected at all from him. Good sound. He sings better than I remember on American Idol.
16 - Jennifer
A little poppish, but a very good song nevertheless from Taylor. His voice is very good especially on the bridge
17 - hap
WOW I really like this song, surprised not what I expected. Really good!

I am a devoted Taylor fan! I think that if anyone just takes the time to sit down pay attention, and listen, they will like what they hear. Yes, Chris is going double platnum, and Taylor has only gone platnum. And yes he is only asked by some of the gods of the music world to stop and play with them when he happens to be in town. And yes, this list includes all genres of music including rap, blues, soul, rock'n roll, and so forth. I like Chris too, but I don't like the fact that he sings the same way, same key, and type of music. Per some earlier posts, I think even with Chris's catapolt to the top he better beware of how quickly he may end up dropping. I think he can have an enduring career if he remembers to grow as a musician. I really wish him well. I have seen Chris perform on some of the late night shows and such, and it still proves why he was let go when he was. When Taylor performs, its not something easily forgotten, and makes you want to come back for more. So here I am!

I found this song and some more of Taylor's cd on taylorhicks.com - check it out.
I bought the cd and really like it - I really like the sound of his voice.

What was the topic again? And when this season of American Idol gets seriously under way, can we finally get back to talking about music? Because that's what Hicks and Daughtry have on their minds. Stupid fan garbage. *grumble*
21 - george
That's Taylor Hicks? Sounds good. Will check out his cd.
22 - Taysluvrin205
Hee! Raking 'em in, baby! Go Taylor!
23 - Karen
Wow! That was Taylor Hicks? I'm impressed! I really didn't expect anything mainstream from him. Good job!

Taylor has a knack for choosing songs that stay in your head. I thought this one was a bit too pop when I first heard it, but now I really like it, especially the bridge. His album is good because it contains a real diversity of songs that show not only his ability to pick a good one in any genre, but that he's got a wide range.
I like Chris a lot. I think he's a nice guy- I met him at one of the after-Idol tour bar performances that Taylor and some of the other AI contestants were involved in. But he has yet to show me the range that Taylor has. And having seen both of them performing live 10 feet away from me, I'd have to say Taylor comes across more powerfully in person. That said, I wish them both well. There's plenty of room in the music world for them both to go multiple platinum, and they both deserve it.

Dude, just because a person posts on a public board that they are a Chris fan it doesn't make them one. No Chris fan has bought 100 cd's that's ridiculous.
First of all Lena, I'm a female :)
Second, while I don't really believe that "Daughtry fan's" classmate bought 100 CDs, I'm sure that he bought a lot. From my experiences with the Claymates on an American Idol forum, I do know that many people have said that they had bought 20 or so of Clay's CDs in the name of "beating Ruben". And while I can dismiss all this as the work of teens who have nothing better to do, sadly many who participated in this ridiculous competition are full grown adult women.
Third, I am not a member of the Soul Patrol. I think Taylor is a good singer, but I wanted Chris to win. Still, you can't really compare them since their genres are so different. Both are successful in their own right. Congratulations to Taylor, Chris- and Kat! Don't forget she got an album too!
