The Afghan Whigs - "Gentlemen"
Oh, you're just saying that because he looks like someone took Greg Dulli, cleaned him up, lobotomized him and told him to never ever ever go near a bar or a cigarette or a woman again.

The TAYLOR HICKS #1 HIT SINGLE will be a cover of WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES

-- Chris Bee (noaddres...), May 25th, 2006.

Wow, you know, I was watching this show with my mom recently and I suggested that he sing this song too. I'm not sure if he can handle the high notes in that song, though...

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Thursday, 25 May 2006 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

Duet with Mandisa, "On My Own"?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 25 May 2006 12:17 (nineteen years ago)

He should do a searingly funky take on Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Thursday, 25 May 2006 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

he should do the michael bolton songbook

yeah, I hear that. had this same idea, but like you, I'm skeptical; I don't think he's ever really rocked the falsetto on the show (does he even have one?)

ps: The Constantines - "Tank Commander (Hung Up In A Warehouse Town)", if only to see him totally spaz out at the "NIGHT AFTER NIGHT! NIGHT AFTER NIGHT! WOOOOOOO, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT!" part

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Thursday, 25 May 2006 12:30 (nineteen years ago)

But seriously folks, how is this dude going to get marketed? His ambition is apparently to sing safe versions of 70s soul while dressed like Barry & Levon from the State (I'm not sure if this association came up because he did Elton John's "Levon" but whatever). It all seems very specifically pitched at the 35-to-60 demographic. Do teenage girls like him?

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Thursday, 25 May 2006 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

the jay leno theme music

― only children bleed (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 25 May 2006 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

Serious question: do teenage girls buy Clay Aiken's records? He also seems pitched to the 35-to-60 demographic, but he's sold millions of albums.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 25 May 2006 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure Taylor could do a killer version of 6.4 = Makeout.

― mr. jimmerson, Thursday, 25 May 2006 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

John Cage : 4' 33"

Oooooh yes. It's kind of weird.

― Eppy (Eppy), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

i predict these futures for our winner and runner-up:

taylor: host for mid-season replacement on the game show network
katharine: supporting actress in a david lynch movie; scientologist

― only children bleed (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

He seems more like a Minute by Minute kinda guy

― Billy Pilgrim (Billy Pilgrim), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

Scooter "Move Your Ass", definitely.

Actually, anything by Scooter.

― scnnr drkly (scnnr drkly), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

holy shit, he DOES look like Greg Dulli's good twin!

― 2 lazy 2 login, Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think he should do it under any circumstances, but I predict "Soul Man" within 30 days.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 25 May 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I was gonna say - I didn't know if he did it on the show, but it's a perfectly (awful and) logical move.

I'd like to see him do a meatloaf cover, preferrably something over 6 minutes long. Hicks shines down the stretch.

― Ryan Mason (mandorf), Thursday, 25 May 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 25 May 2006 18:07 (nineteen years ago)

"Darlington County" (the Springsteen song)

After hearing him do a great job with "Dancing in the Dark", I think I'd pay good money to hear him cover the entire "Born To Run" album.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 25 May 2006 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

are you kidding me? I thought his "Dancing in the Dark" was atrocious. maybe it would've been better if he hadn't been dancing around during it, but he sounded really pant-y and out-of-breath

Steve Martin, "King Tut".

Or EPMD, "The Steve Martin".

Who cares?
