I love Barbieflausa's question about what song you would have sung on AI if they would have let you sing one of your own!

Whipped cream or cool whip?

[NolaMar]

Will you be signing after the show in Biloxi? I only ask because I brought a friend to see you at Smith's and she had me bring home her TD cd back with me, hoping I could get it signed for her in Biloxi or Houston. :)

Question:

Do you think it is a good idea for contestants to be playing an instrument during Idol or is it too much of a crutch?

[NolaMar]

Thank you for your support of our military Taylor. As the mom of two in active duty, it really means a lot to me! When my Marine comes home I MUST make him pork chops w/mashed potatoes & gravy. Do you have that one special "MUST HAVE" home-cooked meal when you get the chance to visit home in B'ham?

Question

What is your heritage I've heard everything from Native American to Scottish? Can you set the record straight? Thanks.

Hi Taylor, thanks for doing this chat. When asked who you would like to perform a duet with, you have mentioned male artists. My question is, what FEMALE artist would you consider a duet with, if you had to choose?

Hey Taylor! We just started a great new bulletin board for and about only you called 'New Found Freedom'! None of that crappy American Idol talk on there. Come check us out! http://theboogieboard.b1.jcink.com/

QUESTION: Taylor do you have any plans for a live acoustic cd from one of you upcoming shows and an unplugged dvd from another venue. If so, please include all of the banter. It makes it so much more personal to those of us can not attend. Ü

Hi Taylor - who does your t-shirts and merchandise? Does a woman do the designs? I think most of your customers are women and we would love some cool designs on a woman's shirt (not necessarily a baby doll shirt for a teenage girl). Would you ever let your fans have a design contest? Thanks.
