A message for Taylor Hicks fans...
Just a little something to make Taylor fans feel better -
A message from Taylor's brother Sean Hicks - from the AI Boards
I believe this is really his brother. He posts every once and a while on the boards, and never gives inside info, just words of encouragement. He's been doing this since the start of the competition, so I have no reason to think he's not who he says he is....

Hello everyone. This week was rough, but we made it. I've been coming to these boards since I found out Taylor was going to be in the round of 24. Back then I would search for hours looking for anything about Taylor I could find so I could tell him about it. This was when we were so excited that Taylor was being featured on Birmginham's NPR station that we taped the whole thing with a tape recorder held up to the radio.
And then came the Vegas auditions and the birth of the Soul Patrol. I remember Taylor telling me how much he liked the idea of "Soul Patrol." I believe his exact words were "How cool is that?"
And here we are, 5 contestants left, and Taylor's still in this thing. The Soul Patrol is bigger now than it's ever been, but all does not seem well at the moment when taking some of these threads at a glance.
People, we cannot afford to be divided. You saw what happened tonight. No one is safe. Taylor is just a regular guy with a gift for making people smile, and obviously he has touched all of you enough to spend time on these boards. I'm asking all of you once again, as a favor to Taylor, please set aside any differences you have with others here. Taylor wants to win this thing. He does the best he knows how to do every week under the circumstances given, and he does it for the chance to make all of you smile. Making you happy, his audience, is what makes him get out of bed every day. The potential fame and fortune are just perks of doing what he loves.
Does AI want Taylor to win? I don't know. There are only a few people in the entire world that know for sure. All we can do is vote. It's time for the Soul Patrol to kick into high-gear. We're going to need more votes (especially text messaging!!!) and more unity. Just imagine Taylor up on stage at the Kodiak Theatre, hearing his name called as the next American Idol. Words could never describe what I would feel at that moment, and I'm sure it's the same for most of you. Let's make it reality.
******
If he's not focusing on the negative aspects of the show, then I won't either.
Good luck to Taylor.
