I became a fan of Theo, like many, when he was on Idol. It's undeniable that Theo has an amazing gift. He is so musically talented, it's crazy.
Weekly he surprised me as he did each song cover and made it his own. His passion that poured out of him each time he stepped on the stage, and it caught my attention. All I could think was, "not only can he sing, but he loves music."
Not long after... I found myself at the show to support him (and fellow Idols of course!). I didn't ever have tickets, so I always stood outside hoping to get in to see the show. Not long after standing there, Theo was outside talking to fans and just hanging out.
I like doing graphic design things...so I made a sign for Theo on photoshop, and to my surprise he seemed to like it a lot. So the next week I went back (...which actually was a 3 hour drive...) and had another sign. Theo was outside again, saw it and liked it... and remembered the one I had made before. And then one more time I went and made a poster for the top 3 week. (I made smaller copies of my posters to have signed and an extra to give to him. I'm not sure what he would do with them...but since he liked them I figured, "why not!" ...all of them are on this site now)
Then I saw him at a concert, and again he knew who I was...and I guess for me it's just nice to know that he cares. Not once when I met him did he seem like he was giving off an attitude of "I'm an Idol, so deal with it." haha... or "I'm better than you." .... but instead it was sincerity.
One time he even took the time to wish me luck in something I was pursuing.
Theo Tams is genuinely a great, kind guy. He's caring, friendly, talented, but most of all he's human! Yes, he won a contest...but he still cares about the ones who got him there. Hopefully it always stays that way! (And I have a feeling it will!)
So in a nutshell ... a big nutshell... I'm a fan of Theo because he's treated me like a friend, and not just some random person on the other side of the television.
Thanks Theo!
God Bless,

Re: Theo in taxi
I would have kind of liked to see Theo in the taxi in his video, perhaps a type of scenario showing him in the video coupled with someone inside the cab at the end of the video. Wishful thinking perhaps on my part, lol. Still a great video though of course!
