I Got Them Idol Blues!
It hasn't even been 24 hours since Idol ended, and I'm already missing it! That feeling of anticipation is gone, and I am left with a kind of nostalgic, bluesy ennui that just won't quit. It happens every year, but seems even more severe this time around.
Maybe this is because I invested so much time and energy into this season. I wrote for two websites, maintained two blogs and my own personal website. Plus, I constantly surfed fansites and communicated by email with dozens of Taylor fans. I am a proud member of the Soul Patrol, and am now on a quest to find as many clips of the show as I can, and to scope out all the talk shows that Taylor is likely to hit in the next week or so.
We're in luck, of course. Taylor will appear on Jay Leno tonight (Thursday) and will be on Larry King Live tomorrow night (9:00 p.m. on CNN). Last year, Bo and Carrie did the King show and Ryan hosted. It was fun to see them outside of the Idol bubble, answering questions from King and callers. Don't miss it.
In the meantime, the Gray Charles site has a comprehensive listing of video clips and even an AOL link to the studio version of Taylor's single, "Do I Make You Proud." The cleaned-up version is pretty tasty! I like it a lot, and normally, I really don't dig the Idol single. Taylor makes everything special!

to preorder Taylor's single from Amazon! It will be shipped on June 13 when it is released. In the meantime, let's get him to #1 on the Amazon sales chart. The Soul Patrol isn't just about votes! Right on!!!

yey! Taylor won! All is well now. And yes, Donna, I've got the Idol blues, too. I've been complaining that Idol should be over already so I can get on with my life. And now that it is over, I'm at a loss. Haha! Well not really, there's still work and the million other stuff that I have to do. I just miss that "looking forward to watching a singer/performer reality show" every week. Oh well.
Can't wait to buy the AI5 CD! Bit hesitant about the Taylor single though coz I really do not like the song, although he did a good job with it. I'd rather wait for his CD.
I hear you. I stayed up way too late last night watching Leno, grinning like a fool! I figured if Taylor was exhausted, then I could make the sacrifice for him! I too would like my life back, but I just can't seem to stop! This can go on for weeks, and I'll be OK! Thanks for your comments. I am thinking about running this blog next year rather than doing the website. It's linked on Sirlinksalot and is getting a lot of traffic. I will post a review of Taylor on Larry King later!
I know what you mean! I was able to watch that, too. And he did say on Leno that he hasn't slept yet since the show. Well until he sleeps, I may not stop posting AI stuff. Haha! Well probably not. But I am still posting some AI recaps and some AI top 10 so I guess this won't be over until June comes? ;)
