Here are some snippets from a Taylor Hicks fan site that Vanae recently found. Taylor Hicks was the winner of American Idol last year and recently started using SayNow. Reading all of these totally made our day.

Barlow Girl, a Christian rock trio from Elgin, Illinois, has begun their “Speak Out Now” Campaign - they want to hear the voices of their fans and SayNow is helping them. The talented sisters have a dedicated following and their song “I Need You to Love Me” was the most played song on Christian Hit Radio last year. Fans can have their say by giving them a ring at the number below.

We’ve been really busy here at SayNow and picked up A LOT of new artists in the last month which we’ll be featuring here shortly. One of them Papa Roach has been signing up a lot of new subscribers to their SayNow channel by making their SayNow welcome greeting the first thing you hear on their MySpace page.

Our Artist Relations Guru Loren Groves came up with the idea a while back to help Tila Tequila with her SayNow channel and it got her over 25,000 new subscribers in about 2 months. So if you’re a new on SayNow, and you’re looking for a way to quickly let your fans know about your number, apparently this works.

This World Fair is a band based out of Minneapolis and their song Don’t Make Me Wait is on the sountrack for the movie Disturbia. Since they’re currently on the road touring (and say they can’t get to all their MySpace messages as often as they’d like) they want you to leave a message they can get to on their phone!

Mario’s been on SayNow since the fall of last year and has been sending messages out periodically. He just announced though that he’ll be sending updates at least once a week now, so if you’re a fan, you can stay in the loop. (he gave out his number on MTV’s Sucka Free last week and his new album Go is coming out in a couple months at the end of July)

This is what I’m chillin to right now in the office - Baby Boy Da Prince’s “This is The Way I Live” which he wrote in his post-Katrina FEMA trailer in New Orleans and is #24 on Billboard’s Hot 100 this week. (Sound quality’s not so great from the video but you can hit up his website for better audio). Now I’m craving fried chicken for lunch.

Crime Mob was on MTV Sucka Free a couple weeks ago and gave out their SayNow number. Check it out. (this came to us via our friends at the Warner Music Group)

BET is quickly becoming one of our favorite TV channels! Last week Crime Mob was in the house and did a rendition of “Rock Yo Hips.” Of course we also think it’s pretty cool that they told their fans to call their SayNow number!
