He sang Heart to Heart by Kenny Loggins during soundcheck. Nice falsetto there.
Excellent review and interview from the Philippine Star..
He saunters onto the stage, blowing on his harmonica like a judge banging on a gavel: “Hello everybody!” he says, and leans — yes that now famous lean. And just like that, we are taken by Taylor.
In which we learn..
For Taylor, especially, performing at the mall is certainly a fit. He professes: “I love shopping. I have to get gifts for my brother, my father, my mother, my grandmother, my cousins. Just about everybody. I guess that’s what happens when you win American Idol. You have to buy a bunch of gifts.”
and
He is already at work on his follow-up album to his eponymously named debut effort.
“It will be coming out next year. I will also have a DVD out next year. I am pretty excited about doing another tour, maybe in the Asian continent early next year,” Taylor says. Expect lots of soul, blues and R ’n B, he avers, and also a little bit of pop. “I am trying to find the right vibe with different songwriters. I am trying to make the best album that I can.”

American Idol 5th season winner Taylor Hicks is now living the life of a full-pledged celebrity.
He is enjoying it, completely aware of the big change and able to pinpoint the particular shifts his life has experienced ever since winning the title.
In a media event set for the first American Idol winner to visit the Philippines , the 31-yeard-old singer smilingly told the press, "My fan base went this huge (doing a gesture that meant it has ballooned) and I can’t go out without a bodyguard anymore."
