This is such fun to rewind season 5 and see all those wonderful performances again! I feel the same joy and excitement. The only difference is that I never have to worry about him being safe. His performances always leave me wanting more! Taylor sang "Living for the City" during Stevie Wonder week. It was the top 12 night. "Levon" is by the fabulous Elton John. I am a huge Elton fan and I am very critical of anyone who sings his songs. I loved Taylor's performance of "Levon" and his performance cemented my devotion to Taylor. Love hearing "The First Cut is the Deepest" again!! Wish he would sing the whole song sometime. |

Thanks for the correction. I had it correct in one post and wrong in another..........doesn't say much for my "musical encyclopedic" mind. Needless, to say, I have none. |

That picture with his hands covering the sides of his face brings me to tears every time I see it. His dream is reachable & he realizes 'It IS Truly Happening'!

I loved what Taylor said about deciding to play the harmonica during that long walk. "time to separate himself" It really shows how intelligently Taylor approached the show format. |

Well~This is embarassing! Last night while reading through the tv channel guide, I looked once more for the AI Rewind in the 'regularly-aired station' spot & it wasn't there! I looked just 'above' it & There It Was! Its been there all along, but do you think I could see it? NOOOOOOOOO! Even though I've missed the full (1) hour segments of the AI Rewind, thanx to you all who have posted links or embeds so those of us (like me, unfortunately) can see what took place. Movin Right Along! |

Relive the Season 5 Top 12 Show American Idol News November 12, 2009 | 11:10 am PT In an unforgettable episode of American Idol Rewind, the 12 best undiscovered singers in the nation take their first steps on the big stage, igniting a do-or-die battle for the Idol Season 5 crown. The blossoming talents of Chris Daughtry, Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and the rest of the Idol hopefuls are on full display as the finalists take on the song book of legendary singer/songwriter Stevie Wonder. In an Rewind first, all Top 12 contestants narrate every step of the Idol experience, from their knee-knocking rehearsals with Stevie Wonder himself, to the anxious heart-skipping moments waiting for Simon Cowell's comments. For the first time, hear the truth behind the backstage song swapping, Kellie Pickler's crisis of confidence, what contestant forgot her lyrics on stage, and the steely nerves of Chris Daughtry as he dared to rearrange a Stevie Wonder classic. Take an exclusive first-hand journey into the Idol finalist mindset as they sweat over every detail of their pressure packed performances, and relive the heartbreaking elimination when 12 became 11 in this treasured episode of AMERICAN IDOL REWIND. The all new episode premieres in syndication Saturday, November 14th. Check your local listings for more details. |

I remember Stevie Wonder being totally impressed with Taylor. As a matter of fact, I can't remember any of the celebs not being impressed with Taylor's soulful sound & abilities; with the exception of Kenny Rogers possibly? (let's not go there!) Bring It On!!!

OK~now I've got the right person! I'm thinking, since you & I are in the same time zone, that we should be seeing the same episodes. Just checked my guide again & it says: AI Season5 Top 12. |

Just got away from watching AI Season5 Rewind Final 12. I can't believe I had forgotten how much Taylor has changed ~ or I should say, 'Changed Up'! I wish they had shown the conversation between Taylor & Stevie Wonder. I remember Stevie saying something about Taylor singing from his soul.And ~ All that Hair! I think most people would die to have it! Now that I've seen this episode again, I find it rather odd that most of them were not at their best. What do you think? |

What I love is that Taylor had the trusty harmonica with him even though they told him that if he played it on stage they'd kick him off the show-don't tell THIS Southern boy what to do!!!!! |
