Ive always loved James Taylor, he'd be a a great mentor (much better then neil diamond), he has such a perfect voice and amazing songs (remind you of anyone?)... and he was pretty hot back in the day
I'd die if David did one of his songs especially 'sweet baby james' as ive mentioned before or this

Awe, Sweet Baby James is one of my favorite songs in the world.
James Taylor is classic. He chills me out

I would LOVE to hear DC sing some JT!

I had never heard that song before. I loved it! I agree that JT would make an excellent mentor!

I *adore* JT too! "You've Got A Friend" has a very special place in my heart.

But he has SO many amazing songs that could be taken on by the Idols. I'd DIE to hear "Carolina In My Mind" by someone like David. "In my mind I'm going to Carolina, Can't you see the sunshine, Can't just feel the moonshine" - beautiful.

i love "you've got a friend" but i like Carol King's version better. that's be cool if he were a mentor.
it'd be sad for brooke though since she said that she loves his music.

i'm glad i introduced it to you. my dad knocks this one out on the guitar all the time.

If James was a mentor than my mom would be in heaven

I would be in heaven...I have loved him since childhood

YES! YES! O_O

Aww, yeah, I wished James Taylor had been their mentor. x_x

But hey, maybe next year? =D

I would have loved to see them do their own versions of James' songs.
