• 5/06/06 The Idols are at Graceland, and the fans are watching!!!
The Idols go to Graceland to work on their Elvis songs and film pieces for the show on Tuesday. Graceland has a webcam online, and the fans are hitting refresh every 5 seconds to see if the Idols have arrived. Whenever distant figures appear on the webcam, the speculation goes wild! Could that blurry figure on the right be Taylor?! He seems to have gray hair! No! Wait, it is the person with the blue shirt! I think it is him!!(insert webcam pics here)



For several weeks, fans would nervously offer up who Taylor reminded them of... Could they dare say it? In whispers, and tentative posts they spill what they had been thinking for weeks: Taylor reminds them somehow of Elvis. No, really. There is just something….The posts on the message boards kept popping up with regularity. Picture of Elvis with gray hair, pictures of Elvis and Taylor side by side to show similarities, and the famous ‘split’ half E, half T pic that ‘freaked Taylor out.’


(Yeah, it's kinda freaky.)

By the time Elvis week came around, expectations were high…not for him to BE Elvis, but for him to do a great job singing Elvis songs. There was no fear among the Soul Patrol. Only expectation! America and the Soul Patrol were not let down!
