It seems winning American Idol is no guarantee that you’ll actually keep your major label deal. Read the full post.

    Taylor’s been trying to break away from Idol since a year after he won. Good for him! Now maybe he can get back to what it’s really all about, the music. Can’t wait to see what other surprises he has in store for us!

    Taylor said it best a long time ago: American Idol is fizzling out for him. So long, sucka, the fizz is long gone from your tepid jug of cheesy, bad singing.

    Truth is, Taylor Hicks hasn’t done much for Taylor Hicks. He should have come out of the Idol gate swinging. After all his talk about “real”, he ended up giving one honest interview (to Relix) and then pussied out and kissed pop-butt for the next year. Wrong move, Mr. Soul Patrol. I was only along for the real, and that was over a long time ago.

    Getting away from AI will be the best thing for his career. I’m happy for him.

    LOL @ the fading renements of the SP trying to act like this is a good thing. Yeah, he’ll take off now just like Justin Guarini did. How are those middle school performances going, by the way?

    Dang, guess it’s back to laying around in my basement again. We finally got it properly fumigated from the last time he stayed here. Why, Clive, why?

    Taylor will never make it on any label, his 15 mins are long over. The only reason he even was signed by J records is because he won AI and that was due to power voting by the Soul patrol.

    He’s still under the AI 19 contract restrictions with no publicist or future prospects. He’ll be lucky to sell a few cds out of the trunck of his car.

    I’ll pay someone else to give the boy a record deal! Please don’t make me have to deal with him again!

    LOL @ the people that think that being dropped from a record label is a positive thing for a musician! Sorry, but there’s nothing positive about it! The truth is, Taylor didn’t want to get rid of the label, the label wanted to get rid of Taylor because his music SUCKS and no one wants to buy it. The Soul Patrol are always going on about how many copies of his CD they buy each week, so it’s the same delusional fans that have been buying it every week for months now, which is the only reason his sales haven’t hit ZERO yet, but they’re so close to it. I see the posts about how Taylor is now “free”, but the only thing he’s free to do now is continue his career as a MALL SINGER. I hope he enjoys selling CD’s out of his trunk, because if he’s pays to make another independent one, that’s where they’ll be sold from, unless he sells them at a flea market as well! Taylor’s career is now officially OVER, so just accept it SP!

    It’s so funny that the SP are trying to claim that maybe Taylor “bought out” his contract. In order to buy something, it has to have some worth, and his contract was so worthless they probably tossed a few bucks his way and told him to JUST GO AWAY. They are finally rid of this albatross around their necks. Hey, another good thing, they don’t have to mention his name on AI anymore. Not that they were planning to anyway.

    My boy’s been selling in the tens for WEEKS now! Think of how many times you can fill your gas tanks per month on that kind of paper, record exec people!

    Hey, Taylor’s Mama, quit giving that poor boy of yours the “Runnaound.” He tried to save the world with his real F***ing music and now your house is “The Right Place” for him. I bet he wants to know from his momma, Do I make you Proud?
