I just love me some Taylor. Such a humble guy. I can’t wait to see him perform on Idol 6.

I just hope they don’t do that God awful Christmas Special like they did the year Rueben won I think. It was horrible.

And what IS up with B’ham spittin’ out so much talent? Apparently everyone can’t migrate to a major city in search of being discovered, so they have to wait until the search comes to them.

I hope they have really good talent next year and not a bunch of nuts just trying to be on television. But that’s the draw I guess.

Although Alabama has produced major talent, like The Commodoors (sp) members of the Temptations, and Linard Skynard (sp) these newbies like Rueben, Bo, and whats his name (sorry Jex) are still proving themselves.

ROTFL! Beyonce is my cousin somewhere down the line. We share the same last name (my maiden name) so I know there is something my daddy never told me about.

Those of us raised up in Atlanta are all one color. We live together, work together, play together. Now, this hell hole up here in Chicago is all lily white. They got all the black folk stuck over in Cabrini Green, except Oprah. Every time we go somewhere I ask my husband where all the black folks are, and he just says he never thought about it. Even at Wrigley field the beer vendor is white! Damn, I wanna come home.
