American Idol’s official retard Taylor Hicks will be starring in the musical Grease, what did Broadway do to deserve this? Hicks will play Teen Angel beginning June 6th and leave in September.
If you have been wondering why AI’s ratings have been slipping, you do not have to look much further than Hicks. So this could be the possible end of Broadway as we know it — it just may burn to the ground.
“I am incredibly excited to be a part of one of my favorite musicals. The Soul Patrol’s gonna invade Broadway,” Hicks told Playbiil.
Too bad the “Soul Patrol” consisted of either a group home for the mentally challenged who accidently got hold of a phone during American Idol season five, or a bunch of old people from Florida, who still thought they were voting for George Bush for president over the phone.
Because who ever voted for him sure as hell didn’t support him when his first album came out that is for sure. Hicks’ self-titled album only sold 640,000 copies in the first week, then took a slide from number 2 to 136. Those are bad numbers for an American Idol winner.
Ooooooo! Such negativity, such hate, such vile, such resentment!! Have you seen a doctor for you problem?
GO TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!! Great press today!Loved you on The Today Show! You go dude and break a leg show ‘em how it’s done on Broadway!!!!!!!!
YOU GO TAYLOR HICKS!!!!!Good for you! Couldn’t be more proud of you. What an honor to be asked to play on Broadway.
AI’s ratings started slipping AFTER Season V — the greatest Season of all!! The ratings are slipping because Taylor Hicks HAS NOT BEEN THERE!!!!! He has been the most exciting of all contestants to date!! He may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you certainly remember Taylor for the entertainer that he is. He had a plan, he stuck to it, and he won American Idol!!

This week, I had planned to use this space to relay my thoughts about the 20 finalists in the American Songwriter competition, which will ultimately generate the song the Top 2 sing in the finale. The voting has concluded in that contest, so the winner has already been chosen, and I’ll eventually tell you that this year’s Top 2 Idols, as well as the viewing and listening audience, will certainly not be winners. Not with the schlock that the AI producers gave voters to choose from.
Well, I guess I just did tell you that. But I’ll eventually tell you why that’s the case, song-by-song. But this week, I’m still a bit hung over from Wednesday night’s sad elimination show. The anger and resentment still linger, and not just from me. Hard feelings abound across the country, and it’s evident both in Internet postings and in critical reviews that people were shocked and dismayed that some of last week’s strongest performers were up for elimination. Carly Smithson’s dismissal from the show, when coupled with the season’s earlier elimination of Michael Johns, has revealed some serious cracks in what was previously purported to be the "strongest cast in the history of the show."
As the rankings have slipped this season, I’ve put some thought into this show’s strength and its longevity. Honestly, regardless of the viewing numbers, I’m convinced that no more than 1 million people are voting in any given week. Thousands of power-voters are cranking out more than 1,000 text votes with their AT&T cell phones, pretty much negating the 20 or so votes that moms and grandmas are getting through on traditional land lines. I did a little number crunching (at my core, I’m a bit of a statistical geek) and figured that maybe two out of 100 people are power voting, and that 10 or so are making as many as 100 calls a night. The rest of the people are likely in the 20 to 50 call range, with a few making more or less than that. The average works out to about 50 phone calls (or text messages) per person. Honestly, I suspect that it’s higher than that, but if you take AI’s reported figure of 38 million votes last week and divide that figure of 50 into it, you wind up with about 750,000 voters.
