"Welcome Back", the theme from Welcome Back, Mr. Kotter? That would be great.

-HECK!

Maybe that can be a group song.

but the Billboard chat is mostly rap and hip hop. Oh Lawdy no!

They will find things, sis... it will be okay.

I'd like to hear him sing "The Theme From S.W.A.T".

Are there lyrics to that song?

Seriously, he should sing "You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker but maybe that doesn't apply for his birth year.

Theme from S.W.A.T. eh? Don't think that there were lyrics to that.

You Are So Beautiful... good pick!

They are now saying that the Billboard song must be from a Billboard top ten this last week.

Ohhhh, "You and Me" by Lifehouse! I would REALLY love to hear Chris sing that! But, I'm wondering if he goes with a mainstream rock. I hope not.


Be Without You, by Mary J Blidge, is a great song. I have that album, on my iPod, and that song is really good.


"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt! *sigh* This song absolutely melts me, from top to bottom. Chris, or Elliott, would do well with this one.

Whoever sings Bad Day better knock on some wood before he/she sings it. The song Bad Day is or could be a curse/omen on AI.

It's a conspiracy... much more so than that whole 'pickle' thing!

not a consipracy, just creepy.

How was born in the early 80's? I would be a 1982 man.

Some radio station is reporting that Taylor will sing "baby I love your way" by Frampton.

I guess that it's his pick... just don't see it! Oh well, what do I know?

I was hoping for "play that funky music white boy", but I kind of doubt that BILYW is the real song. AI is really tight about allowing song choices to be released.

Discount previous rumors.

Grey Charles usually has the right song choice for Taylor they are
for 1976 Rubber Band Man
current - Who Says you can't go home- Bon Jovi
