Review: Taylor Hicks at North Fork Theatre

Anyone make the show this weekend?

The silver-haired crooner played to Long Island's masses on Saturday night at the North Fork Theatre. J. Edward Keyes provided Newsday with a review of the show, excerpt below:

That's where those fans come in. Their fevered weekly voting ensured Hicks' "Idol" victory, which in turn scored him a major-label record contract and enough clout to headline his own national tour, which is how he ended up on stage at a sold-out North Fork Theatre.

Hicks' acolytes take their adoration seriously: Christening themselves The Soul Patrol, they turn up in articles about Hicks as often as he does (See? There they go again). They express their devotion on Internet message boards and voice sharp concerns when Hicks appears on stage with notorious scoundrels like Snoop Dogg. And can you blame them? In a way, they had as much to do with Hicks' stardom as he did.

Fortunately for them, Hicks understands what it's like to be a fan.
