Let's get one thing straight, you have NO idea who or what Taylor is disappointed in because you.don't.know.Taylor. And this is a classic example of the overinvestment that makes his fans look crazy. Neither MFOYA nor Radar can "bait" people into making fools of themselves. These misguided folks are choosing to post comments that reflect poorly on themselves--and their grasp of the English language.

It's really quite simple. Don't post. If you do post, don't say delusional things like, "Taylor feels x" or "Taylor thinks y" or "I know Taylor wouldn't do z." You don't know jack---or Taylor for that matter.

First, Radar thanks for the intriguing articles on Taylor Hicks. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I followed the link to the Making Fun website and reviewed the photos and timeline evidence. There appear to be physical differences that can't be explained away by camera angle.

Next, I think that if we look at this logically, it doesn't indicate at all that Hicks is gay. In fact, if anything, it seems to suggest that he has a taste for less-than-straitlaced women. The gay theory would hold if the person on the beach was male and he was trying to pretend the person was female (Caroline Lyders).

Finally, I am a fan of Taylor's music. I've seen him perform in concert twice since he won the Idol competition. He is truly a gifted musician. A serious musician. His Idol persona was a character he created to win the competition and catch a break in the industry after slogging it out in bars and weddings for 10 years. He's not a pop star. He's a niche artist, like Ray LaMontagne or Marc Broussard. Now he has the exposure he needs to (hopefully) sustain a successful, albeit lowkey, career.

With fame comes heightened scrutiny. That's the way this works. There are a small group of his fans who froth at the mouth at any perceived slight directed at Hicks. They need to grow up a bit and realize that this comes with the territory. I'm sure Taylor does. Reader and Yeah Ok Sure: You are doing more harm than good. I think the bickering and Radar-bashing we see here makes Hicks look a whole lot worse than exposing the possibility that he pretended Caroline Lyders was canoodling on the beach with him.
