UPDATE: Good things will come....and they DO! "Seven Mile Breakdown" is once again NO. 1 on AOL's "Most Viewed" video list!!
(July 30, 2009)
-------
I love it when things come together.
It just seemed like things came together last week for Taylor Hicks. The first hint was a twitter from Taylor that the Prime Minister wanted to see him “pimping ice cream.” i.e. The Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, was coming to see “Grease” and Taylor would meet him afterwards. The prestigious Canadian newspaper the Globe and Mail carried the story with pictures. It even made the political page.
Opening Night sold out in Ottawa! We know how all entertainers love the words “Sold out.” Taylor has even told us that. All the shows were packed. The Teen Angel was flying high north of the border. The rains didn’t dampen anything.
Then “Seven Mile Breakdown” video hit No. 1 on AOL Music Videos. It had been hanging out in the Top 11 for five weeks. And now, it was trumping some very impressive competition. For an artist who cannot seem to get radio play for the song, here was the same song on video topping the chart! He even talked about it himself saying it was “BIG.” It’s sits at No. 2 at this writing.
There are over 21,000 videos currently on AOL accounting for hundreds of thousands of “views.”
Taylor Hicks was the “most viewed.”
“Seven Mile Breakdown” had already been in the Top Ten on MuVids.com for six weeks!
Perhaps not quite as significant, but nevertheless “interesting,” was that Taylor reached the Top Twenty in the monthly Mr. Twitter USA contest on Tweeterwall.com. If he stays there this week, he will be permanently enshrined on the wall. Finishing No. 1 would bring even more accolades!

Taylor NOW sits in the TOP TEN in Mr. Twitter USA! Amazing, if you think about how many tweeters are out there!
All of this made me wonder how one young soul singer gets from the wrong side of Mississippi to greeting foreign Heads of State and making a music video that is the “most viewed” on the internet giant, AOL. What are the chances?
The answer that comes to mind is, “He never gave up.” Taylor Hicks never stopped doing what he loved.
Good things come to those who wait. No! Good things come to those who work their heads off to get what they want.
It’s coming together for Taylor Hicks. His years of hard work and dreaming are paying off.
Makes you want to get a dream and get to work!
Taylor came home this week and headed south to Ft. Lauderdale.
More work, and more good things to come.
Why don’t we do a little bit of the work? He deserves the help…
Keep “Seven Mile Breakdown” on top at AOL –MySpace it. FaceBook it! Twitter (or is it TWEET?) it! WATCH it! (Now, that ain’t work!)

Vote for Mr. Twitter USA. Hey, who knows what accolades and recognition it may bring?!
Go see “Grease” in Ft. Lauderdale this week or when it comes to your town. Now that, for sure, is NOT work!
Let’s keep the good things coming…
I’ve got some “work” to do...

Hey San! Love your attitude. Wish more of the "fan-hood" boards were as supportive.
Thanks for the pep talk.
Thanks, Juliegr!
It's easy to support Taylor! I love all that he brings to the music as an artist and as a person. His is a dream worth following and supporting.
I'm glad that I am a small part of it.
I've been 'clicking' & listening each day & plan to continue.
Taylor has given us a 'gift' & I certainly want to have a part in showing my gratitude. We have an incredible artist amongst us & we should all step forward in continuing to 'Share the Love'!
No artist has touched my heart as Taylor has! I am grateful!♥
