  • I fell in love at first sight. What a guy.

  • I think he has the best voice of all American Idol winners. Besides Carrie Underwood.

  • SOUL PATROL is still alive and well here in sweet home Alabama

  • Taylor was never in the bottom three, produced a different style every week, and was the most talked about person ever on Idol. From the very beginning he was picked to win. You may not like him or his voice.................but enough people did and still do.

  • Comment removed

  • I honestly love the new judges but Simon was CLASSIC! LOL!

  • The only reason why Simon was so against Taylor was on his audition day he told Taylor that he would never make it that he should be a back up singer and went on with his rambling and he did not vote to put him through to the show . And then BOOM Taylor did just as Randy and Paula said he would and he made it through so the whole show Simon did everything he could to knock Taylor down ...I dont think that pompass Ass ever give Taylor a nice comment . It must be so sad to live in Simons world !

  • Chris Daughtry should've won hands down.

  • @iRy0n Are u kidding? Chris Daughtry is horrible.

  • TBH i was rooting for him from the very start. I actually won some money betting that he'd win the whole thing xD a victory well deserved! Possible the most soulful singer to ever win idol.

  • LOL, Simon.

  • Oh snap!!!!!

    Ryan owned Simon at the end of this video

  • fucckk simon i shit on him

  • whats wrong with simon? is he mentally retarded or just deaf taylors awesome!!!

  • Check out Taylors vids from his recent summer tour.

  • Problem is: Simon is right. Still, people congratulate Taylor exactly for the flaws.

    Simon could have answered "I wanna give you the best, but you don't want it. I try to bring excellence".

    Anyway, it´s cos of Simon's great comment that all the candidates have a real chance of growing up. Most of Paula's and what's his name's do is pure entertainment.

    Taylor was fun, no doubt about that. And please dont get all extra offended ´cos of my comment.

  • Koleś powinien wygrać! ;)

    Nie wiecie czy wygrał? ;)

  • @dodidominik Tak, tak wygrał.

  • I charge extra for that key change. No really. I charge extra.

  • As long as it is free, people like to listen to Taylor Hicks. Spending money on him is a different story. ... Sounds like a karaoke scenario to me.

  • @dans0622 He made $3.5 million last year. Yep, people are putting their asses in seats to see him.

  • wow, so cool, I feel like I'm in the 70's :D how old is he? :o

  • @julliehideaway 29 at that time.

  • LMAO. This dude is just simply fucking epic. Point blank period.

  • @sleepingdudenate He looks like George Clooney.  Voted Sexiest Bachelor in '06. He's so fucking HOT!

  • Taylor brought charisma to Idol that year!

  • Simon always complimented Taylor's voice, it was the dancing and antics that he didn't like. Taylor just revealed in an article his strategy for creating a character that would leave an impression for the voters. Guess what..IT WORKED! Look at the crowd reaction here. 4 great singers left at that point and he found a way to stand out above the pack. What you saw of Taylor Hicks on idol is about 1/10th of what he can actually do musically. He paid his dues & played them all. WELL DESERVED WIN

  • I agree with everything that Simon said... Only i would have added that he tried to sound like elvis but looks like Jay Leno,right down to the stupid grey hair do.

  • @Sens3999 He looks more like George Clooney, hon. Hes totally hot! And the gray hair? Its natural, idiot.

  • @yesitsme9 I didn't say that it wasn't natural moron.. i just think its funny that a guy is in a singing contest that is suppose to be for teenagers and people in their early 20's and has more grey hair then my dad and he's 59. And to be honest i'm not a huge Daughtry fan but i'm sure Daughtry isn't working at a gas station right not like Taylor Hicks is...

  • @Sens3999 Are u really that ignorant or just to lazy to get up off your ghetto ass and find out what's up with Hick's career? Your snide comments about Taylor and "gas stations" makes you appear as a disgruntled and bitter fan of someone other than Taylor (Daughtry Tard anyone? Just look at your profile LOL!) in Season 5.

  • @Sens3999 And furthermore - the shows demographics skews older than teenagers and people in their early 20s. You are just a dumb-ass who knows nothing about anything. Go back to play in the sandbox.

  • @yesitsme9 I just turned 26 today, and I love Taylor Hicks. Their is no age limit to who your a fan of, people of all ages can like the same singer.

    I voted for Taylor every single week that year and I'm in my 20s.

  • Comment removed

  • @Sens3999 Ah, now I get it.... you're a Daughtry tard! hahahaha! Figures!

  • Simon, you're a douche bag.

  • OH Simon.

  • This season was so much fun. One of the best.

    Taylor, Daughtry, Elliott, Pickler, Kat ! Excellent cast.

    The current season doesn´t even compare

  • Interesting that writers on the big city papers are wishing Taylor was back.

  • Simon just doesn't get American Music.

    Taylor was and is Fantastic!!

  • He IS hot! Blazing hot... sexy as all hell!

  • You got that right.  Taylor is so SEXY!

  • who else thinks hes hot?? or am i alone?

  • Yep, hot.

  • I had fun watching this again!

  • I love him.

  • Simon is correct, democracy and voting failed yet again!

  • @Heinvz09

    I totally agree, this was about as bad as it gets.

  • TAYLOR BEST PERFORMANCE ON IDOL!!!

  • american idol winner / broadway star fantasia has a new hot single out "even angels" if you want to here or buy go to her official site

  • Simeon was right..

  • i wanted the girl to win kristina or something in the final 2 but he is good too, but what happened to Taylor over the years?

  • Taylor was great! It is a joy to see the love he has for his craft. BTW, I don't get why people say he looks old. Gray hair, yes he has it but you can't look at his face and say it looks old by any stretch of the imagination. It used to be that bald was considered old too but nowadays that's in fashion -- you have to look at the person not their hair color or lack of hair. Just sayin'.

  • well, he did good, but i prefer the blues brothers!

  • I agree hickifinoe ! Taylor OWNED Season 5! He had more talent in his little finger than all the rest combined!  He won for a reason! GO TAYLOR!

  • THIS is why I became a member of the Soul Patrol-this performance!!

    And for those of you who watched season 5-remember one thing-

    HE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @hickifinoe ... I agree! Taylor Hicks is an awesome guy! So happy for his carreer! God Bless Taylor Hicks.

  • In person he looks 25! And those eyes......

  • 2006 he was 30. but he looks like 40 , ?!

  • he was 30 but he looks like Jay Leno's age. 50 something?!

  • And Simon-you are slime with a capitol S!!!

    Taylor won didn't he??

  • ever tried looking it up on the internet?

  • How old is he ? In germany you can't go to the cast if you're older than 30 year- old

  • @lilalai100 at when he auditioned he was 29 30 is the cut off here too.

  • thanks.. oh. because of his gray hair he looks older. :p

    Two years ago we had an 30 year old winner

    (too) ..

  • SOUL PATROL!!!!!! Woah!

  • SOUL PATROL! (:

  • Made American Idol  Very Exciting!!!! I want to see more Taylor Hicks on TV!! Love HIM!!

  • I could watch this video over and over...wait, I do!! This was one of my favorite Taylor performances on AI. He will be here in Phoenix next month with the Grease tour. I can't wait to see him!

  • I love Taylor too, is my favorite winner, and I hope to see him concert someday as well.

    American Idol Rewind 5 is on Fox & TV Guide!!!

    Have fun, and give a shout out to Tay Tay for me!

    Check out my Taylor videos, hope you all enjoy them!

    Soul Patrol

  • I am seeing Grease this Saturday, the 24th. I will give Taylor a big "SOUL PATROL" shout! Love your videos.

  • Thanks so much, and glad you enjoyed the videos.

    Hope you have a fun a safe time!

    Soul Patrol.

  • I gave him many shouts from his Soul Patrol. He was awesome - better than ever. Sang Seven Mile Breakdown after the show.

    I am so ready for a concert!!!!

  • love you hicks you the bomb !!! mwah mwah knew you were gonna win !!! YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO !!

  • better than chris brown

  • what happened to him? Danny Gokey rocks AI stage and he is from milwaukee!!!

  • Uh...........he is appearing all over the country. Every day except Monday . Too bad you are missing all of his performances. And Danny........when Taylor appeared on AI this year, he sat with a huge smile on his face, cause he is a Taylor fan. Let it go!

  • You are right - Danny is a Taylor fan. It was very evident in his performances on AI. I loved Danny, too!

  • i wanted him to win cuz he was true to himself and never changed anything. he's just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • American Idol hasn't been dead. This season put out two rockers, Adam and Allison and they are great. Lots of fun to watch and listen to. Taylor was fun too.

  • ah cara.. nao consigo acreditar q essa cara ganho do chris daughtry ! ele eh horrivel.. e canta elvis.. num tem talento ele eh cover!

    chris da de 10 a 0 nele nussss

  • Oh man..wish this guy would sing on our cover

  • Best thing that ever hit the AI stage.

    Listen to that crowd. And thats what counts.

    Its been dead ever since Taylor left.

  • I agree partly with you, but AI hasn't been dead since Taylor left.

    David Cook and Allison rocked the AI stage too. Plus their have been others.

    But yea I agree Taylor rocks plus he is sexy too.

  • I haven't watched it since the year that he won and I don't miss it a bit.

  • This proves without a doubt that Simon cannot spot talent!

  • Post continued...

    Taylor you ROCK and you know who your real fans are. Keep making great music.

    Soul Patrol!!!

  • Why don't the people, who hating on Taylor, leave him the hell alone. Taylor still rocks, he won American Idol, because he was unique, talented, and knows what real music is. There are already too many singers like Mylie Cyrus, Taylor is a real talent.

    So why dont you all go back into your basement, because you all have no life or friends, if all you can do is come on here and bash Taylor, why would you even waste your time if you actually had a life and friends?

  • why is he sqating down in the beginning?

  • Alot of singers go into this stance.........

  • Taylor #2 now on AOL right behind Thriller!

  • Check out Seven Mile Breakdown video by Taylor , #3 on AOL.  Also, Whats Right is Right on yahoo and YouTube

  • don't hate his gray hair :D

    still lovin him

  • agree with simon

  • EPIC

  • simon is king

  • Just bought his last aalbum - there're couple awesome things there.

    Still in love and want more!

  • Oh my god. He is 52 years old. Why was he alloud to go to AI? In Germany you have to be younger than 30 years.

  • Taylor is 32 not 52. He was under 30 when he was on AI.

  • I must say, I think he is absolutely fantastic! I saw him in Grease last night (in Seattle) and he was awesome! And at the end he even sang one of his songs from his new album!

  • gota love ryan he is about the only person who can shut down simon time and time again

  • Comment removed

  • let me just say to Simon - in the real world , now , Taylor is the best!!! his voice is so uniqe and he has a true artist soul! (which you cannot say for Simon, he just need to look good and to shut up)

  • SOUL PATROL!!!!!!!!!!! :P :D

  • Taylor is da bomb!

  • Taylor was the most fun of that years line up. He just needs better songs for his solos stuff.

  • I remember watching this on TV! i'm glad he won, and not McPhee.

  • No, Simon YOU Shut Up. I Thought That Taylor Hicks Sang Well On This Song And Your Comment On His Impersonation Shouldn't Be Acceped, And You're Nothing But A Hipocrite.

  • Can't wait to see this dude on Idol again.

  • Oh is he supposed to come outy on there again?

  • Taylor is so much fun! Great homage to the King. I remember he came back that night and totally slayed the audience with The Beatles tune, Something.Now he is headlining a BWay Tour of Grease and promoting his new album with club dates and radio/TV tour. Hardest working guy in show business. Check out The Distance.

  • who is he lol

    i didn't even now he existed

  • Now you do !

  • Taylor has a brand new album out called "The Distance" on his own label. Brilliant piece of work.

  • I just heard him in an interview on my local radio station (Portland - The Buzz) and he's performing in Grease. Taylor, who was dropped from the J Records roster earlier this year due to poor album sales, is set to play Teen Angel in the musical.

  • His first CD (not the earlier self-produced ones) is certified platinum. Not good enough for them even though very few artists come anywhere close to selling that many CDs.

  • He's been playing in Grease since last Dec. On Broadway, they had an 8 story pic of him on the side of a building and he revived the show financially. The fans were great to him as they have been all across the country. He isn't "suddenly" in Grease.

  • Wooo Taylor!

  • Forever super talented and alway hot looking. He's now in a Broadway show and very successful! love this winner...

  • he looks like george clooney a bit :)

  • i love taylor i was soo happy he won that year............I WAS PART OF THE SOUL PATRALE

  • did he tell her to shup up?!!!!!!!!!! O.o'

  • I love Taylor's voice and his dancing. Have you seen him lately? WoW! He looks like he just stepped out of GQ. What a handsome man. He has a new cd out called 'The Distance' . Great songs.

  • i think he suxs well i think hes got a good vioce but nothing to get rlly famous on mabye a recording contract for a lil while but thats it i think hes a wedding singer cuzz with his look and his singing i think thats all he could pass for and im not bein mean im not goin to take away the fact that he can sing cuzz he can but in the music industry it just dosent fit.

  • He truly is a amazing singer... which is a shame, because he is not good looking, has no stage presence, dances terrible, and has a turnoff personality. If I didn't have to listen to him talk of see him on stage, I think I might actually like him.

  • hahaha...ok first of all, i didn't watch of this season because i had a hectic schedule. I for one was rooting for chris elliott ending BUT to say that he has NO stage presence and has a turnoff personality its utterly RIDICULOUS!!! HIS PERSONALITY AND STAGE PRESENCE is what helped him win!!!!!! wow that was jus a wierd comment!

  • i think danny noriega did this better but hes a good singer taylor hicks

  • Screw Simon on this one, music is about having fun and Taylor here just had a ball!!!!!!!

  • Has Album Sold 1.7 Million !!! Pretty Good Given The Fact His Style Of Music Has Been Dead For Like 10 Or 20 Years Now And He Had Damn Near No Promotion After Idol.

  • I would say more than 30 years. Yet, there was a big backlash towards him, because many think that Chris Daughtry was the best, and was railroaded.

  • if taylor hicks in ai seaseason 8, he would not make it to the top 12

  • yeah he would

    cause he is a great singer, maybe not the best but is fun

  • Season 5 was the most successful and competitive season ever. Taylor was NEVER in the bottom two. So he had a good shot at winning in any season

  • Hey life on mars for real, he is a hit in the south, so don't worry about it. What have you done on Idol? Exactly, quit bitchin about the south because we know you visit every summer from the filth up North, so quit bitchin. Go visit Mars.

  • simon always hates for some reason...i dont think the show needs judges at this point of the show

  • why dosnt taylor hicks do anythign new????

  • it was elvis week. she have to sing of of elvis's songs

  • he one because he is fun

    Ai didnt sell him like tht though

    they sold him like an old blues singer

  • Go paula get simon!!!

    nice comment Ryan

    Taylor still rocks!!!

  • I love it,, He is great!!

  • Simons comment ......BUHUUUUUUU

  • Love Elvis Forever #1.. and I adore Taylor Hicks.. Fun/Charming.. Great Performaer.. More Taylor Hicks on TV Please!!

  • I think Simon is jelous. LOL

  • he is not that guy that the Jonas Brothers rocked his world?

  • no. the JB's came after Taylor hicks

  • He is so beautiful. Doesn't he have such a beautiful attitude? I would love to see more of him, he has a gift!

  • You can see a lot more of him. He is on tour now with Grease. And he will be touring this summer.

  • Thank you for that info. I think that he doesn't get the play that he should, but he did it, and maybe in time, we'll hear more of him. He's an entertainer, and good at it!

  • Good job!

  • what does simon know?!?!?

  • simons like shuttup to paula thats hilarious

    Simon do you live in the real world lol

  • What ever happened to taylor after American idol you never heard from him again?

  • He was on Broadway doing Grease!! He is now on tour with Grease. He has a new CD coming out in March. He has been busy.

  • SHU-TUP!...says simon.....

  • yyeah owow

  • Pretty sure he wasn't trying to sound like Elvis. It's a singing competition not an impersonation contest.

  • Luv Taylor he is the best ...he livened up Jailhouse Rock ...He brought that song back to life

  • im from bham I LUV HIM!!!!!!!!!! IM HIS BFF! NOT KIDDING!

  • You mean Danny Noriega wishes he could have sang it as good as Taylor Hicks.

  • I pretty sure that what she meant. Soul Patrol!!!

  • danny is a way better singer

  • I thought kathryn should hav eone but the only reason i like him is because he is really good and he lives in alabama and i do to
