Taylor Hicks ~~ victories...


Funny how something wends its way into our lives. Before we realize it, we are engaged and obsessed.

Mr. Twitter USA was a “little” contest, but there was Taylor Hicks on the first page. The Top Twenty would put him on the “Tweeter Wall.”

The Soul Patrol knows how to vote. Top Twenty was a short vote away.

Funny how we always want something more. The Top Ten seemed doable. No. 1 was a bit of a stretch, but then No. 2 was doable. Taylor finished No. 3 in Mr. Twitter USA competition.

Those in the Tweeter Wall suits knew a good thing when they saw it—one more “ultimate” worldwide competition. WORLD-WIDE—the planet! Taylor was automatically entered and was again on the first page.

Funny about a challenge. It takes on a life of its own and compels us to take up the fight—one victory at a time, one competitor at a time. The Top Twenty was doable—again. It was a short vote away.

We manned the voting button, and our resident researcher checked out the competition. We learned about Celtic Thunder and the Green Eyed guy. We hoped that they were checking out Taylor Hicks like we were researching them.

We tweeted and rallied. And The Soul Patrol found common ground on which to support Taylor—and they were doing it on a worldwide stage!

Funny about victories. They can’t always be seen in the final tally. In whatever ranking Taylor finishes, perhaps the greatest victory is in The Soul Patrol’s coming together for a common purpose.

Taylor Hicks~~The Ultimate World Mr. Twitterer? If I were in his fancy boots, I would feel like a winner wherever I finished. I think he will.

Funny how we show our love. At this writing, Taylor is No. 11 and has more cute little red Tweeterlove hearts than anyone else—180. On Thursday night, he tweeted his thanks for our votes.

IT’S NOT OVER… Vote this weekend and until Wednesday when the contest closes. Use our Easy Button above or this link:

Show the love.

Who knows what The Soul Patrol can do?

Together.

Funny how you "hit the nail on the head". To paraphrase a political slogan "It's the unity, stupid."

Funny how important something so unimportant can actually become.


Funny how many new followers Taylor has found since the inception of this Poll.( 1000ish )

Funny how much fun this whole Mr.Twitter process has become .

It has been so fun, Oh what will we do when this is all over!?!

Our work is never done!

This was great fun. You are right, DJinKC. I like the way that all boards have worked on this. I think we can do a lot for Taylor if we all find common ground...which would be to support Taylor and his music.

Thanks, everyone, for reading and leaving a comment.
