Do I Make You Proud

Not sure if I like the song for Taylor but let me be the first one to post on here and say CONGRATULATIONS!!!

AMERICAN IDOL 2006, SOUL PATROL!!

It grew on me little by little but it's a wonderful song for Taylor.

not a good song, but he makes it sound better than it is. glad he won! I liked him from the start. and the lyrics are the worst part of this song. very hallmark.

Another talented musician tainted by the long arm of Simon Cowell. He sang some wonderful soul numbers during the show, and now he is FORCED to sing trash.

Oh well, Taylor probably knew it was going to be like this, so I can't take too much pity on the guy. Just look at ol' Bo Bice, he went from singing a brilliant rendition of the Allman Brother's "Whipping Post" during the show, to singing some boring pop song on his debut album that Simon probably gleefully masturbates to. I just hope Taylor isn't brainwashed too much over the next couple of years, and manages to hang on to his roots, so that he can release an album that will take full advantage of his soulful pipes and instrumental talent.

It would be pretty sweet if ALL the artists signed to deals post-idol could make music that reflects the music that they were influenced by (i.e. Underwood, who has scored big with her country tunes). Their musical preferences is obviously one reason they were voted for, so why not follow a similar formula? Why put their music through a bubblegum pop grinder, killing all hints of what qualities the singer possessed on the show? Why do I have to let a DJ of a radio station clarify that what I just heard was the same person who won the American Idol competition?

I understand that their is going to be millions made on the man, just like previous winners and runners-up, but don't you think there's more bank to be made if the singers continued to sing songs in the vein of those they previously performed on the show?

I dunno, just a thought (or 5). At any rate, congrats to Taylor, who was very deserving of the win.

Oh he fucking makes me proud alright! I love love love this man. So passionate and genuine. LEGEND! SOUL PATROL WOO!

I love this man also. So glad to see him win. His voice is so unique and different compared to what we hear nowadays. It's beautiful.

Taylor is amazing and even if this song isn't, he still makes it good.

This song is Really crappy.I could have wrote it.I don't blame Taylor he did'nt write it.

I look at it from a sort of different perspective..see I'm from the same town he is, and it makes me feel like he's talking to us and since he is representing up he is saying "Do I Make You Proud?" And I just have one thing to say...YES

how can anyone not like this song?! its amazing! just like taylor hicks!!
