When American Idol's Nigel Lythgoe was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight they asked him if he listened to Taylor Hicks and his answer had me ROTFL!
ET: Do you like his album?
NIGEL: I haven't heard it, to be honest.
ET: Is that unusual? Have you heard all the other "Idol" albums?
NIGEL: No. KELLY CLARKSON's I heard. CARRIE UNDERWOOD's. I haven't heard FANTASIA's, RUBEN's or Taylor's. I haven't heard an awful lot of the other releases. It is not my type of music, to be frank with you. I like more middle-of-the-road stuff. When they leave us, they go to different genres. I like country, which is why I played Carrie. I wanted to see where Kelly was going because she was our first Idol. I have very little time to listen to outside music. I am constantly listening to the music that we are doing that week, and trying to get everything downloaded to give the kids as wide a choice as I can.
Well when I was searching for the album cover image to put with this post, I finally heard a song off the album. And I have to admit it was much worse than I thought. So Nigel if you have the chance to listen to it, skip it.
