PayTheDevil was at the Nokia today and ended up right in the middle of the Idol mania! She sent several pictures that she agreed for me to share with everyone!

Her hotel is right next door and she has seen Idols all day. So far, no Taylor, but she is keeping her eyes open!

I will post as quickly as I can.

Here is Elliott...I gave her the news about Elliot and Taylor singing tomorrow night. Unfortunately, she can't stay for the Finale!

And Ace:

PayTheDevil just called and said I could post that she "swears that she just saw Bret Michaels go into the back door of the theatre! I'll post her hotel picture so you can see how close she is. She said limos are lined up at the back with people getting out.

She said she talked to Ace today and told him he was great in "Grease" and he looked surprised and asked how she knew. I think she told him she had seen if a few times!

PayTheDevil has been a Taylor fan from the beginning in case you don't know her. She does amazing videos and is famous for "The Maze."

She said she is sending more photos. I'll post as soon as I get them.

From her hotel window:

PayTheDevil says that while everything has pretty much cleared up out front of the Nokia, there is still a lot of activity in the back. Limos are arriving...it appears that perhaps rehearsals are going on tonight for tomorrow night.

She will send anything else that she sees.

We'll have to wait and see.

Tomorrow night sounds exciting!

Earlier PayTheDevil sent these pics. She said there was a large white tent set up in the back where all the major media was taking place. She said she looked for Taylor but couldn't find him.

The girls of Idol, finalists from this year, I believe.

I finally had a chance to sit down & read all that is going on for tomorrow night's finale. I'm stoked just knowing that Taylor will be there; then, to add Elliott is even more exciting. It will be great to see Taylor & Elliott singing together again.

Wow~I should say PTD is close! That has to be exciting; that close & watching everything taking place.

Wonderful to see PaytheDevil's "birds-eye" view of the Nokia and of all the "celebs" who are there.

I am wondering how much work she is getting done since becoming a "roving reporter" for TTHC and all other Taylor fans. What a great business trip this is for her and for us.


Thanks so much PTD.

Awesome pictures!! Thanks so much PaytheDevil!

The girl in the photo with Elliott, Taylor and Ace is Atlanta radio personality Wendy Adams. I found this info from
TaylorHicksNews on twitter.

I am so excited for the pre-show and the finale tonight. I did DVR the final 2 show last night and watched it later since we had a family
function to attend. Compared to Taylor and Katherine's finale 2 show this one was flat as a pancake.

By Mary Colurso -- The Birmingham News
May 25, 2010, 4:21PM
Birmingham's Taylor Hicks on the "American Idol" finale? It could happen, although the show's producers are staying mum.


Taylor Hicks (The Birmingham News / Beverly Taylor)Elliott Yamin, who became pals with Hicks during their "Idol" run in 2006, posted a tweet Monday that gave fans a broad hint:

my homie taytay hicks gets in town 2day...gonna get 2 share the stage with him again!..1st time since r idol days..can yall guess what 4 ??

Yamin lives in Los Angeles, which is "Idol" central. Traditionally, previous winners and high-profile veterans perform on the final episode of the season, along with a cast of music stars.

Idol alums confirmed for Wednesday's broadcast: Carrie Underwood, Kris Allen, Michael Johns.

Stars on tap, according to Internet spoilers: Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Joe Cocker, Enrique Iglesias.

LARRY KING LIVE INTERVIEW More aptly titled, Larry King not on TV Interview


May 25, 2010
Taylor Hicks on life after “American Idol”Posted: 03:37 PM ET
Ok, Idol fans…we’re nearing the end. You’re new "American Idol" will be revealed Wednesday night. Before we get there, LKL blog wanted to take a trip down memory lane and talked to previous "Idol" winner, Taylor Hicks.

Hicks won the fifth season of "Idol" and hasn’t slowed down since. For the past two years, he has played the role of Teen Angel in the Broadway musical “Grease” both in New York and with the traveling show. In between performances, he’s been playing clubs and making music. More information about Taylor, his live DVD, “Whomp at the Warfield” and his latest album, “The Distance” is available at his website, TaylorHicks.com.

Taylor chatted with us about his advice for this week’s "American Idol" winner, what he’s been up to, and why "Idol" will survive after Simon.

LKL Blog: So you’ve been on the road with “Grease” –

Taylor Hicks: Grease is the word!

LKL blog: How long have you been doing it?

Hicks: All in all with the record and the Broadway show, its been two years.

LKL blog: And what’s that been like for you?

Hicks: It’s been a major success actually. With the success of the role of Teen Angel on Broadway, we decided to integrate [Hicks’ latest record], “The Distance,” within the encore of every “Grease” show and decided to take it on the road for 18 months.

LKL blog: This was your Broadway debut right?

Hicks: This was. Yes.

LKL blog: In terms of performing a musical on Broadway versus what you would do on a regular stage show – I’m wondering what the differences are.

Hicks: Well obviously you’re playing off of personalities of the actors as opposed to playing off of instruments with musicians. And I think one of the really cool things about this particular run and this role is I’ve never had any musical training or acting training and so I’ve learned first hand which has been such a blessing to be able to learn to do a brand new craft with a role like Teen Angel.



LKL blog: Was it hard, intimidating having never done it before?

Hicks: I was more nervous my opening night on Broadway than I ever was on "American idol." A brand new path career path acting on Broadway in New York City. I was more nervous about the debut on Broadway than the idol show for sure.

LKL blog: I know you said you integrated “The Distance” in the show, have you been able to work on other things?

Hicks: I’ve done shows. I’ve basically had two tours going at one time. I was doing the Broadway show and I was going to intimate clubs all over the country and different cities and playing club shows.

LKL blog: So you’ve been pretty busy since you won "American Idol?"

Hicks: I’ve been on the road touring now for about four and half years. I still don’t really have a place to call home. I’m from Birmingham but a lot of my stuff is still at my parent’s basement. I’ve still been touring nonstop for four and half years.

LKL blog: Do you like living that way?

Hicks: I do. I do enjoy it. I’ve been touring all my life so it’s in my blood, so to speak.

LKL blog: Are you going to the "American Idol" finale?

Hicks: Yes the finale and parties and stuff. I haven’t been able to do that in a while so I’m excited to go back.

LKL blog: Do you keep in touch with past contestants or anyone on the show?

Hicks: I do. I do keep in touch with past contestants and judges.

LKL blog: You’ve been through this, what’s your advice for whoever wins "American Idol" this week? What do they have to look forward to?

Hicks: Being able to have the best opportunity in show business, to be able to have a longstanding career. It’s just the most amazing experience that 99.9% of the population doesn't get to experience. It’s a very exclusive club. It’s all in what you make it. You have to stay out there and be appreciative and be blessed that you have the fans that you do.

LKL blog: There will be a big change with Simon leaving. Do you think it will be a different show without him?

Hicks: You know I think obviously the show, we’ll all miss Simon. I think he’s a big part of the show. But I think watching someone live the American dream in front of your eyes is the reason why everybody watches the show and I don’t think that will change.

LKL blog: So what’s next for you?

Hicks: I’m taking a breather. I’m planning and writing for the next record. I’m going to pursue some TV and film and Broadway opportunities that I’ve been able to look at after my post Broadway debut. You know, enjoy relaxing for a while and writing and doing some musical performances also.
