Reported by: Bettie Cross Thursday, Oct 15, 2009 @02:58pm CDT ![]() "You sure it's not Taylor Swift?" asked Taylor Hicks as he walked out to perform for a small crowd of loyal fans at the KASE Studios in South Austin. Jokes aside, Taylor Hicks doesn't have to worry about people getting his name wrong. Certainly, not in Austin, where the American Idol winner likes any excuse to make a stop. "It's one of my favorite cities in the world," he said. "Live music, great food, college town, college football atmosphere, and it has its own identity." Hicks is in Austin to continue his run as "Teen Angel" in the national tour of Grease. He says combining acting with singing is nerve-racking, but thinks the role is a perfect introduction to Broadway theater. "The Teen Angel role doesn't really stray too far from my personality, as is." The season five winner of American Idol is also promoting his new album The Distance. An appropriate name, when you consider this singer has lived life on the road for almost four years. "No address right now or not had an address since February of '05," Hicks lamented. The singer's travels are no secret to some fans. The contest winners crowded the KASE Studios for an up-close and personal performance. Margaret Reilly racked up many a mile following his summer tour. "Just within driving distance, I don't fly. There are some people who fly all over the country and go to his concerts, " she said. Patty Rardin cast some of the 63.4 million votes that helped Hicks win American Idol on May 24, 2006. "I wish he could have played for hours, but i know he's busy. It was awesome, awesome," she said after hearing Hicks sing three songs. Taylor Hicks will be starring as Teen Angel in the national tour of Grease at The Long Center in Austin through Sunday, October 18. He sings the single, Seven Mile Breakdown, from his new album, The Distance, during the encore. For ticket information click here. http://weareaustin.com/content/austinlive/story/?cid=32961 |

I'm so pleased with the instant 'likeability' Taylor has with the people in the interviews. Sounds like a few more are 'smitten' with him. Still Lovin that Shirt!

I hope you have set your mother straight on this issue. Now with Taylor Dayne creeping into the mix, identification may get tougher. |
