Okay. I admit, I'm in love with Taylor's performance. He is truly a professional and he has so much soul and passion. I watch this performance several times a day. It makes me proud.
I love Taylor and was one of the people that voted for him every chance we got. He was very inspiring and so fun to watch evolve. Nice going Buddy! Yes, You did make us proud!
Soul Patrol! Soul Patrol... He's Got Heart/ Soul-talent, Fun-Good Lucks.. He's an Entertainer.. He has Faith in Himself.. He Enjoys people.. Seeing him Live I Wish, Must be a Huge Fun Event We need that.. Someone who takes us out of our PAIN- HE does that!! He makes me smile .. Love You Taylor hicks JKelly-4-Taylor always...! You make ME PRoud !! Love "Kell"
Taylor is my favorite American Idol winner. He's the only one who stands out as something other than your typical pop star. His album got lukewarm reviews from just about everyone, but I thought it was better than anything I've heard from the other season 5 contestants.
I loved his album after winning A.I. You can understand every word he sings and put so much heart and soul in this CD. Also, a great mix of songs. They definitely didn't play it on radio like they should have.
He is my favorite just because of how judged he was and is by everyone. He doesn't have that star appearance but that is a perfect example of anyone can accomplish something.
omg I remeber this moment, one of the best AI season, Taylor pull an impossible win over the beauty -Katherine and the Rock star - Daughtry with an old school style, no other can do that
oh my..really? oct.07.2006 his bday? that was the day of my show here in philippines and one of my songs is do i make you proud..if only i knew maybe it will add zest my to spiels about his bday..newei..his one of my idols. taylor hicks! belated happy bday!
Alanna, it usually means that he didn't support the two winners, in this case the two male winners: Taylor and Kris. Also, when Melinda got eliminated in Season 6 he was mad there too but to be fair, so was I. ;)
After watching tonight's AI finale, I had to come here and watch Taylor to remember what a finale is supposed to be like!! SOUL PATROL!!!! WOOOOOOOO! ; )
I agree. I think Elliot should have been in 2nd, not Catherine. She should have finished fourth or fifth. I agree with you about Daughtry. He was a bit arrogant.
@chattykaye1 He's actually released 2 CD's since idol and came out with a concert CD as well. He's been doing some concerrts as well but has been focussing on opening a restaurant in Birmingham. So he is quite busy and has had some CD's released :D
@icutad2 he got denied to be on the radio because his music didn't fit in the pop music category, so he focused the most on live performing, he made the most money on tours although he was denied the right to be on the radio... people paid station not to put his music on the radio...
honestly, I must have been sleep for a couple of years b/c I have managed to block out every Idol winner past Fantasia. I knew who carrie was and jordin just didn't know they came from Idol (THANK GOD FOR J-LO AND STEVEN TYLER) they have brought this show back to life. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When i was 16 my hair was like this. Gray. Girls would be nice but not romantically interested. I dyed it black and had more girls than i could handle. His gray killed his career. He needed young people to buy his songs. They didnt. Talented and knew how to work the crowd. He studied Cocker no doubt.
Katherine da tru winner i mean seriously. she has made a hit CD a couple of music videos nd wat has taylor made NOTHING. He might hve won but katherine is deffinately better
Well it does destory a rumor that voters go for looks...I mean Katharine McPhee is a BOMBSHELL!! And Katharine is a better singer...the reason for the result? Katharine comes from Los Angelos, which is the center of the filming world and biggest stars. Katharine is just "another" star to those ppl, they'd rather be getting the scoop on relationships/breakups, etc. Taylor on the other hand comes from a small southern town, and EVERYONE knows him.
Katherine is gorgeous, but didn't belong in the final two. She made a wise move and married a rich guy, because she never would have made it in show business.
Daughtry's fans were too cocky..they didn't vote...there's really no excuse for it..he had already been in the bottom two once. Taylor was never in the bottom two or three. 'Nuff said
@MsMINDYLEE... Taylor HICKS.. he deserved to win and it's by his choice that he's not a big mainstream singer. He chose to keep singin the music he loved rather than to do what is "hip" now days..

He got dropped by 2 different record labels within the first 3 years because he’s a jerkoff apparently
Very true.
Not true
I love Taylor and was one of the people that voted for him every chance we got. He was very inspiring and so fun to watch evolve. Nice going Buddy! Yes, You did make us proud!
I agree, I voted often too. It was a very happy and exciting night when Taylor was announced the winner!

I miss the days when making it as a semi finalist means everything. And making it to finale was a huge deal...
i would say he's the greatest performer in american idol :)
i love his performance :), he is a professional imo XD
He isn't the best singer, but he is inarguably the best performer ever on American Idol.
One of the best American Performances ever. So raw and real. Love this guy!! Would love to see him in concert.

I still say with the right team he could be Elvis Jr.. He is electric.
3:03 "Come On America!! I'm living the American Dream!"
- Taylor Hicks
He s been always my favorite.till the end.Go ;Taylor.
He is my favorite just because of how judged he was and is by everyone. He doesn't have that star appearance but that is a perfect example of anyone can accomplish something.
Totally magical ending.
Such memories of that time period!!!
Love this guy and his voice. AMazin!
I voted for Taylor , he deserved to win and I am still a fan.
omg I remeber this moment, one of the best AI season, Taylor pull an impossible win over the beauty -Katherine and the Rock star - Daughtry with an old school style, no other can do that
Gracious, sweet guy. You are fantastic Taylor!

she would have won in any other year, but noone was going to beat taylor

It seems like Simon could have had the decency to stand up and clap like the other two judges(and the audience).
he can sing he should be a big star right now
i'm a filipino and if i am american il still vote for him to win the american idol.... to the runner up your good as well
Taylor deserved to win. He is the greatest American Idol.
That's a gorgeous man right there, and I'm a sista. I feel like I can see his soul. I love his soulful aura and of course, his performance.
A true professional. Love him.
Ur rili great hicks... I rili admire ur voice and ur song... Do i make u proud!!! Great Per4rmance!!!

Very well deserved winner

Now Weird Al's "Do I Creep You Out" makes sense...
@chattykaye1 He's actually released 2 CD's since idol and came out with a concert CD as well. He's been doing some concerrts as well but has been focussing on opening a restaurant in Birmingham. So he is quite busy and has had some CD's released :D
Him and David Cook..best winners EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge Katharine fan, but Taylor was amazing the night before.
who is this guy?
i thought katharine mcphee won american idol that year. haha shows how much he is famous
@icutad2
he got denied to be on the radio because his music didn't fit in the pop music category, so he focused the most on live performing, he made the most money on tours although he was denied the right to be on the radio... people paid station not to put his music on the radio...
honestly, I must have been sleep for a couple of years b/c I have managed to block out every Idol winner past Fantasia. I knew who carrie was and jordin just didn't know they came from Idol (THANK GOD FOR J-LO AND STEVEN TYLER) they have brought this show back to life. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He Deserved the Win
Thank you so much for your comment and continues support 🎶 I appreciate it, god bless you and stay safe
Can’t believe this was 17 years ago! 😮
i am freakin' wonderin' why that too! he's freakin' awesome.
When i was 16 my hair was like this. Gray. Girls would be nice but not romantically interested. I dyed it black and had more girls than i could handle. His gray killed his career. He needed young people to buy his songs. They didnt. Talented and knew how to work the crowd. He studied Cocker no doubt.
Katherine da tru winner i mean seriously. she has made a hit CD a couple of music videos nd wat has taylor made NOTHING. He might hve won but katherine is deffinately better
his great and have absolute pitch for this his real a great singer
Chris daughtry is the best voice ive heard in this season ...Daughtry is the best...people know that
Only Idol to make David Hasselhoff cry @:56 LOL
actually the true winner was Chris Daughtry. he got screwed
just a guess but maybe some people voted more than once? Better yet like 10 times. Is this clearing it up at all?
okay but I would have chosen Katherine.
Taylor ruled Season 5 and don't for it! The best damn singer ever on AI! Soul Patrol forever!!!!! And those who didn't like it? Tough noogies! hahaha!
It doesnt matter who won on Ameican idol only that they get noticed!
@jerrywitaj so you think Katherine cant make it in show business. Her voice is amazing on Smash. She is more famous than Taylor now.
@TheSILVERNAVYsisters He's 34. His hair started greying in his teens.
He got perfet pitch so its a great musician.Please help him to be more famous
Soul rules!!
That goofball was the worst American Idol. A pale, very, very pale Michael McDonald clone. No wonder he hasn't been successful.
I Totaly Agree
Soul Patrol!
what does he have to do with fall out boy?
U are right!
Well it does destory a rumor that voters go for looks...I mean Katharine McPhee is a BOMBSHELL!! And Katharine is a better singer...the reason for the result?

@SpankyNek COMPLETELY agree!
Taylor Reuben hicks American idol winner 2006
Katherine is gorgeous, but didn't belong in the final two. She made a wise move and married a rich guy, because she never would have made it in show business.
forGrandma Joni..RIP
i wanted katherine mcphee to win but somehow i thought that taylor deserved to win. he's a good singer.
Daughtry's fans were too cocky..they didn't vote...there's really no excuse for it..he had already been in the bottom two once. Taylor was never in the bottom two or three. 'Nuff said
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@MsMINDYLEE... Taylor HICKS.. he deserved to win and it's by his choice that he's not a big mainstream singer. He chose to keep singin the music he loved rather than to do what is "hip" now days..
totally agree
Taylor released an album that has sold almost twice as many copies as Katharine's. Not exactly "nothing" in my opinion.
Katherine McPhee was and is best on this American idol year the only reason why she lost was the song choice .
how did katharine not win?
@SpankyNek
....
And what about Chris?
he makes 300 thousand a year - Carry Underwood? 14 Million. Great Performance!
Wouldn't have put him as commercial myself.
@maximus11400 She probably is. She still is only an average singer though. Just because you're successful in show biz doesn't mean you're good.
Katharine shoulda won!
People can vote more than once.
Isn't Katharine McPhee's future husband in the audience?
Still, it was an interesting season.
