    August 16th

    So I had a fu%*ing party singing “Maggie May.” My friend Jeremy, who is in a wheelchair and was told six years ago that he would never walk again, has been at the last two shows. When I looked out at him before I sang, he was standing tall on his own and smiling at me. I thought I was going to cry. A miracle. If that's not inspiration, I don’t know what is.

    Right now I'm sitting out by the pool. Deanna is to the left of me; Jessica is to the right; life is good people.

    I love you all for seeing what you see in me. I'm proud to be here representing all the love in my life. Peace Please.

    Out of all the singers you have the most powerful soulful voice. I just don't know if you would be a good front man for INXS. I think your talent would be wasted. Loved when you sang Cult of Personality. Brilliant!

    Ty--
    Brother your voice is amazing and I wanted you to know that I truly love the way you make the listener actually "Feel" the song you are singing. I have watched all of your videos from the show over and over and I have to admit that they get better every time I watch them. As a music lover, one of the things that really capture my attention to an any genre of music, is simply if I feel what the performer is singing. You have done that for me and I appreciate it. Music to me is feeling what the artist is saying, not just listening to the song but actually getting inside of it and the song actually having an impact on your life. All I can say to you TY is, no matter what happens on this show, you have earned a life long fan. Best of luck to you in this competition and whatever you do in life. Thanks again for bringing songs to life for me. I'll be watching .

    P.S. I would have paid anything to have seen "No Woman No Cry" in person.

    Keep rocking on, Ty. You're last two performances have been so kickin'. Just remember, they want soul and emotion. Sometimes I think that 'stage performers' can tend to look fake when performing - meaning overly happy and all fake smiles. Keep on giving them your soul and you'll go far.

    PS: Like the tounge! ;-)

    Ty your Maggie May rendition was awesome. Seeing you alter the lyrics and call her “MARY” just before the part where she got soul stealing mad was a stroke of genius and really puts a different spin on the song. A guy totally forgets the girls name, it’s a classic.
    Doing Motown in a rock competition wearing plaid pajama pants, shaking a tambourine, then sticking out your tongue again when they tell you off for having your mouth open was a climax. Keep it up.
