Taylor Hicks...

So far I have avoided mentioning Taylor's hair on this site, because I really think too big of a deal has been made about it. However today I came across an article on TMZ.com indicating that Taylor is going to gradually start dying his hair this week. The idea is that he will make the gray less and less prominent as the weeks pass. Of course this is just a rumor at this point.

While I personally don't think changing his hair color is necessary, it doesn't bother me that he might do it, and I hope all of his fans feel the same. I like Taylor for his music and his personality, and I'm am aware that is on American Idol after all. There are things about American Idol that I don't like, but I would have never discovered Taylor if he wasn't on it.

So what if he has to compromise a little? His hair color won't make him a worse performer (and a note to the AI people, it won't make him better). I have come to realize that there are a lot of people who won't even listen to him because they think he is too "old" for the contest. I'll be glad if I don't have to hear anyone say that "there is no way is only 29" anymore.

My final word is that Taylor is great no matter what color his hair is, and this is the last I will write about his hair color on this site.
