    August 20th

    “Proud Mary” is a song that I really connect with for a couple of reasons.
    1- My band, Dakota Moon, opened for Tina Turner and I had the honor of watching her sing it every night from the wings.
    2- My whole family is from the South, so it waters my roots. 
    When we were rehearsing it felt like we were having a party and everyone picked up an instrument and started playing. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. 
    Peace Please.

    Ty, you are already a rock star. You have integrity, heart, star quality and a unique voice. The show is not going to be the same without you, but as I have said since day one, no matter what the outcome, Ty Taylor is going to get a recording contract and be a big star. Keep rockin!

    Ty, I am going to miss you SO much. What a talent. I wish that you would come to AZ and give us the same stage experience that you gave me every week on TV. You are incredible !!! Just know that you are going to go beyond the INXS experience. There was a reason that you didn't win. Just remember that. There are greater things waiting for you.

    I am really disappointed that the show ended the way it did tonight. I think Ty is very talented, in many areas. But to suggest that he was eliminated because of race was insulting to those of us who are white and grooved with Ty every week. Perhaps the fact that the lyrics were messed up MIGHT have been the real reason why INXS chose to eliminate him.

    I chose "Heartbreaker" because I feel its his best song. I really enjoyed it!

    Although his singing style is very NOT INXS, I did enjoy this one. I think most of the other songs come off like he's a Vegas "entertainer". He does this huge smile every now and then during the songs, most of the time it looks very "put on", and seems inappropriate. Even when he comes off well, he's just not someone I want to CONTINUE watching.

    Ty is NOT a rocker! He has NO soul! Id like to see him singing in some cheesy strip joint to 'ITS RAINING MEN'. He will NOT win this competition, mark my words. No wonder he hasn't been signed yet, his arrogance is awful and if he thinks hes the sheeyat thats no surprise because all the gay guys I know think the same. PUH-LEASE..... COME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ty,
    You never cease to amaze me. A lot of people here would like to question your "rockness", either because you have too much spirit or possibly because you're black. I think you're the type that's accustomed to, and unafriad of such simple mindedness. You not only bring a voice that could probably outsing their favorite of rockers ten times over, but you also bring a positive energy that everyone around you sees and appreciates. Michael would be proud to hear his words come out of your mouth. Keep rockin!

    OK! from the first show I saw I knew you were in a class of your own! You hold the stage and captivate it through your energy and the love of what you are doing. You were already on the long road to being a star but you just got a good jump start to the front of the line!!! If INXS isn't the place believe me there will be one screaming your name because your too hot not too! All of us who love your way will stand behind you and pray that once this over it won't be long till you rise and shine in your rightful position (in front of kick ass band on the way to the top!) Don't forget your roots and keep the LOVE!
    Peace to you and thanks for reminding me to look within and stand tall! YOU ROCK!

    Ty, you are awesome! I love how you always seem to be having so much fun on stage when you perform. Last night's song was wonderful and I thought it was great that you had the girls sing back up for you. You are such a beautiful spirit and I look forward to your songs each week. Good luck and blessings,

    There is a thread on the message board in which we discussed what songs we would like to hear you sing. One of the songs I listed was "Proud Mary". It was quite a cool coincidence to watch you perform it last night. :-)
    Big fan.

    Ty:

    I was very impressed with your song last night! You showed a lot of soul, and also generosity of spirit in sharing the stage with the women. I thought Deanna's song was beautiful and heartfelt, as well. You may very well have saved her from the bottom 3. I don't understand why YOU would be in the bottom 3, but I did what I could to change that. Whether or not INXS chooses you, I'm sure that you will be successful in whatever you do. Again, I see other contestants being pretty theatrical, but I don't see that in you. You are a joy to watch!

    Peace always,
    Christina

    Ty, I think you are great! I love ALL of your preformances and look forward to them each week! I keep thinking and hoping you are the winner. No offense to the rest, but you have something that the others don't. I don't know what it is, but it is there! Keep up the great work! And best of luck to you, and I hope all of you keep safe! You are in my prayers! God Bless!
