I wasn't going to watch this season of American Idol. Just wasn't in the mood for another round of snubbing the most prolific, dynamic and popular singer/songwriter/musician this series has ever had. BTW, why did they cut Taylor's head off during the opening credits? That was him, wasn't it? Well, that must be what you get for dissing 19E. You not only get ignored, slighted and dissed, you get decapitated as well. Oh hum.
Anyway, I heard that Ms. Melanie Nyema, Taylor's terrific back-up singer on his Spring '07 tour auditioned. Well, this I had to see and to my surprise, there she was!!! So cute and talented, not to mention a great singer! And high fives to her for giving kudos to her 'boss' in front of the judges, saying that Taylor was a 'nice southern gentleman" (well of COURSE he is), and that he was terrific and best of all, informing the judges he had not muttered a single word about them. Why does that not surprise me? And judging by the looks on their faces, Simon and Randy were not surprised either.
I have my 'dawg' in this race and I'll be watching the show for as long as Melanie survives. If, at any point she must go home, that will my cue to go as well. I cannot stomach this show anymore and it's manipulate tactics. And most of all, the disrespect it gave, and continues to give, it's Season 5 winner.
Here is her audition:
Here is Melanie and Taylor at the last show of his Spring tour singing a duet of Do I Make You Proud/Dancing Queen. Priceless. And shake that bootie, Tay!
I just want to take a moment here to let you know about Taylor's FACEBOOK page that is definitely worth checking out. Lots of videos, music and goodies. Add yourself as a friend and check often for frequent updates!
