| As we walked to work this morning, we realized two things before the weather froze our brain:
(1) Manhattan turns into a mean, arctic world when its nineteen degrees outside
(2) You cant walk anywhere without seeing posters for the upcoming Taylor Hicks album
Which is worse? We dont know. But at least its not Ace Young whos being plastered all over the city. That would just be too much. Not like we watch American Idol or anything...
ANYWAY, Taylor Hicks has released two albums in the past, and this will be his first as a reality TV superstar. The self-titled record boasts a slickly calculated sound (producer Matt Serletic is a two-time Grammy winner), a well-timed release (its Christmas season), and an established audience (over thirty-six million viewers watched the finale of American Idol this year). Itd be a waste of time to question whether or not Hicks post-Idol debut will sell well. The real question is whether or not Taylor Hicks can authentically act like a soul-singing bluesman after receiving the reality TV treatment. Does anyone really have a right to sing the blues if theyve been hugged by Paula Abdul and pampered by stylists?
