Last night Taylor used it to full effect. Listen to the mp3 and you can get the blast of the incredible full tone of the singing voice. It's the same way he did 'Change is Gonna Come', 'First Cut is the Deepest' and 'Ain't No Sunshine'. It's ear candy. I wasn't that impressed with the song. It's very simplistic but that was a great pick to showcase the singer rather than the song. I listened to Ray LaMontagne's version and Taylor's is BETTER. In fact, this is a song that should be released as a full length version. It may turn up on the AI S5 song collection due out in May. We know Taylor can perform really well and mimic other great singers, we know he can play a wonderful harmonica, but none of these beats how he can just plain SING. If he keeps on putting on great singing performances, he will be unstoppable to becoming the next American Idol. Even Simon Cowell is predicting Taylor over Chris for #1 (although he couches that in a negative way). Better get used to the idea...

Soulman Hicks did a great job, but Elliot saved his keister, and Kat McPhee; please. She blew it OOOOUUUTTT! But Taylor is still my fav pick. He is playing the game and this is perfect for this point in the competition. Run "Dark Horse" Run... Groove on Soulman !!! Wrong about best of tonight.
