Taylor Hicks the man of soul...

I have done so many posts regarding Taylor Hicks. I have said everything I could possibly say about how he's changed the world of music, with his endearing love for old school soul, pop, rhythm and blues. His boyish southern gentlemanliness and shyness and yet intellectual rhetorics have captivated me as well. Not to mention how extremely talented he is and how he has made a fan out of everybody young and old, man and woman.

This year he is embarking on a solo tour after winning American Idol. I am beyond excited! I haven't seen him perform solo live and I was only subjected to watching them on fan made videos. Which I am eternally grateful to. Without these die hard fans, I would be lost! I know that he will rock every venue that he will set foot in. He has promised a 10 piece orchestra and mind blowing performances, well, he didn't say that..I said that. But you got the point.

He is coming to Chicago on March 29th at the House of Blues. I am there. He is going to the home of the Blues, Chicago. I cannot wait to see how his concert pans out. I know that being a Chicagoan, we are harder to please sometimes. There are artists who find having a Chicago concert exteremely intimidating sometimes. If your music is not bluesy or jazzy enough, chances are you will get bad press.

But for Taylor, I trust that he will be outstanding! He might even make converts out of people.
So, as I am waiting patiently for the time to come, I will be listening to every single song that Taylor has ever sung, old and new. Just so I can sing along with him and show him how his music rocks my world!
