  • 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.

  • WHAT DID HICKS SAID WHEN HE WAS ASKED WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO YOUR FANS???

  • Taylor, please make a guest appearance on Idol Season 11! :) I would love to see you :)

  • He got perfet pitch so its a great musician.Please  help him to be more famous

  • He still makes me smile! So glad that he won so that we have been able to follow his journey since then. 

  • 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.

  • his great and have absolute pitch for this his real a great singer

  • Soul rules!!

  • One of the best American Performances ever. So raw and real. Love this guy!! Would love to see him in concert.

  • 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.

  • Gracious, sweet guy. You are fantastic Taylor!

  • Only Idol to make David Hasselhoff cry @:56 LOL

  • @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..

  • After Jordin won the next season, it was a 4-2 female edge on winners, but since, all guys.

  • how old is he again?

  • @TheSILVERNAVYsisters He's 34. His hair started greying in his teens.

  • <3 so much Boomfiya shakala love ;)

  • how did katharine not win?

  • @greenmonkey7 because she's pretty but not good enough for a singer am quite surprised that she didn't win because usually in AI looks comes first before talent not saying Taylor is ugly he's not ugly at all it's just that he's quite fat (well at least in celebrity world he is fat)... but i'm glad that Taylor won, it just proves that there are still a lot of people who actually knows what real talent is and how music should be.

  • uhmm excuse me, whats not to like???

  • 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. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ELLIOT YAMIN SHOULDHAVE WON.....PERIOD.....KATHARINE MACPHEE IS ONLY GOOD FOR DISNEY SONGS AND TAYLOR WHO?????

  • Taylor is behind his time.....I agree that he is one awesome performer and singer but we are in the age of MJ and Lady Gaga...how do you compete with that. Music makes no sense anymore.

  • McPhee shouldn't have even made the final..Taylor and Elliot could both sing circles around her.

  • @SpankyNek

    ....

    And what about Chris?

  • @unoder

    I honestly think Chris Daughtry was a perfect pre-packaged guy, but there is no way you can claim he is as talented as either Taylor Hicks or Elliot Yamin. Both of these guys can hit minors, fifths, ninths, etc...Daughtry has far less "soul" which I find to be integral in determining talent.

  • @SpankyNek COMPLETELY agree!

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

  • (C) She deserved the title over Taylor. You gotta admit she has had one of the best voices in all of AI I'd put her in the top 3.

  • (C) thought he was better than everyone else there, where you have Taylor, and KAT, even Elliot showed more like they wanted this. They had more charisma etc. Because Chris was so cocky I predicted it'd be a boy battle w/ Taylor and Chris, w/ Taylor winning. Than Kat placing in 3rd. But based on experience etc and where he lands now. Chris should of won this season. Again..I looved Taylor and he did better at the finale but KAT IMO showed more faith and had more talent and I think (C)

  • Because of what had happen after Chris Daughtry getting the boot. I was DEF rooting for Taylor to win. However considering this was my FAVORITE season. Kat was by far the best girl this season. And had a huge fanbase herself. She shoould of won based on how everyone treated her and that she has REAL talent. I loved Taylor but Chris and Kat were by far the best 2 there that season. I was hoping for them 2 as the final 2(w/ Chris winning) But thru out the top 10 he got really cocky and (C)

  • That goofball was the worst American Idol. A pale, very, very pale Michael McDonald clone. No wonder he hasn't been successful.

  • Love Love this guy!!!

  • I voted for Taylor , he deserved to win and I am still a fan.

  • this nigga can sing. and damn he has life he should have his own talk show where he sings at the end of every episode.

  • Totally magical ending.

  • Soul Patrol!

  • He looks like my cousin.

  • This was such a great finale...the ones over the past few years haven't been very good!

  • The last time he sang on American Idol, all the judges (even Simon) gave him

    a standing ovation.

  • Oh....... you do make us proud!!!!!!

  • Soul potrol :) i love Taylor Hicks and his song its one of my favorite i have the game of american idol and i sang this song and i didnt get booed off the stage i was great like Taylor Hicks keep up the good work taylor and yes do you make us proud!!!

  • whats he saying on 1:15?

  • soul patrol!

  • @treblemaker9 ....Soul potrol

  • @dArLeNewk yea he is soul potrol i love this song its my all time favorite song!!

  • was that david hasselhoff in 0:56? thanks

  • yes! and he was crying :))

  • Yep...now he's on tour in Grease

  • His new DVD, Whomp at the Warfield, is now out, and it really good.

  • the moment he won and then leaning over in relief gets me every time.

    Taylor still performs solo with his band AND tours the country in Grease. He's fantastic! DVD Whomp at the Warfield is coming out on Jan. 5th!

  • Umm....if you couldm't notice....he was obviously very happy. He makes us proud.

  • I'm so glad he won!!!

  • Taylor should be a lot more famouse right now. Somebody didn't do their job. I think he is doing Grease, but he should be singing to us!

  • @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

  • The hardest working man in showbiz! I love his tenacity and his voice! You go Taylor Hicks! Keep on doing what you do best!

  • @yesitsme9 how the fuck is he the hardest working man in "showbiz"?

  • @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...

  • he makes 300 thousand a year - Carry Underwood?  14 Million. Great Performance!

  • 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. ;)

  • you wasnt paying attention

  • i would say he's the greatest performer in american idol :)

    i love his performance :), he is a professional imo XD

  • What a great TV moment that was! My daughter & I were jumping all over and crying and screaming!  Not before and not since, have we been that caught up in a silly singing show! Go Taylor! .... PS: His new CD is awesome! Go out and buy "The Distance".......there's a duet with our little soul brother Elliott Yamin and it's great!

  • Taylor still makes me smile and always will. Such a real guy!

  • Why is there so much negativity on this board? Why are people who don't like Taylor even watching this video? I don't get it. Quit bashing.

  • chris & elliott your the best of season 5

  • You Know, Taylor HIcks gets a lot of flack but his first CD is good. It's just not a sell out where he tried to be something he isn't. I still listen to it more than any other CD. I think Yamin was very talented as well. Daughtry is a bit overrated and didn't have much charisma on stage. Overall, I think we got it right that season.

  • 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.

  • elliot should have won, for sure. i love taylor hicks and everything and i prefer him over katharine but i definitely would have liked to see elliot win.

  • 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

  • I think they kind of overdid it with the flames.

  • YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!

  • I saw him live!!!

  • 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

  • ruben shouldn't have been the winner,that gay guy should have won,

    diana degarmo should have won...

    and yes, taylor deserved it...

  • he's good.. but, not really success as other idol.. i don't know why!!!

  • i am freakin' wonderin' why that too! he's freakin' awesome.

  • taylor hicks will always be my favorite idol, i cant wait for his next CD ,soul patrol !!!!

  • wonderful, wonderful moment in the history of American idol. Taylor is an amazing singer,he did not try to change his style and sticked to what he is.

  • i think ace and daughtry were the best

  • i luv im ood

  • i like how that one persons sign is upside down

  • It seems like Simon could have had the decency to stand up and clap like the other two judges(and the audience).

  • Two years ago tonight, Taylor was crowned American Idol for 2006. He is a wonderful performer and a very humble person, I can't wait to see what the future holds for him!

    SOUL PATROL FOREVER!

  • God, seriously grow up. Taylor won, and get it into your mind. Stop acting like 2 year old kids. America voted, and this is who they liked, and I think it's time you guys got a life, and moved on.

  • i like how that one person has the sigh upside down

  • It has been two years it is time to get over it. Taylor won, that is the way it is. Sometimes you win sometimes you don't. That is just how it is. No matter how much you dislike it he will always be the winner of season 5.

  • omg chris daugtry was horrible and taylor hicks was the bestme andmy mom both predicted he wouldwin the day he auditioned so chris is lame. p.s. dc roxhe got inspiredfrom cd but he was the best

  • i feel sorry for the janitor at the kodak theatre. :(

  • To all you Hicks haters - GO FUCK YOURSELF.

  • I agree with you 100%

  • First of all American Idol and Clive Davis spent no effort in promoting the CD and getting radio airtime. All of their efforts went into making sure that the no-hack talent Christ Daughtry could make it in the industry because they felt sorry for him.

    The 1st CD is really good if you have it and listen to it, but it needed just a tad more of a really good guitarist, someone famous to land on the track.

    Taylor's new cd which will be self produced should have much better chances!!

  • where is Taylor Hicks now???

  • lol at the girl holding the sign upside down

  • um no shes not. lol

  • she was crap

  • Fuck Simon for not standing up! What a prick. Taylor rocks and he deserved to win after all he'd gone through to get to this point.

  • Greastest season ever.

    Greatest winner ever.

  • greaaaat voice,greeeat song... bravooo :))

  • 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!

  • nawh man ruben studdard was and allways will be the worst ai.

  • Does anyone know what happened to Taylor Hicks? I haven't heard anything more about since he won AI 2 years ago.

  • Not enough people bought his CD's or went to his concerts and his record label ultimalely dropped him. I don't think he is making music anymore which is sad because he was always so lively and interesting to watch.

  • sthomas - Taylor sold 840,000 CDs worldwide. Are you saying that's not enough? What planet do you live on?

    And to set you and the rest straight, Taylor is very much "still making music" - in fact, he has a new album out in Sept, and new CD of his older songs also coming out this year, along with a new DVD and a brand new headlining concert tour. Where the hell have YOU been? In your ass?

  • B/c he was droped from his record label.

  • He Took all the Money and got into the Private Jet and Hes Still Flying in the sky lol

  • I feel like season 5 was a fluke.

    Minus Chris Daughtry, Elliot Yamin, and Kat McPhee, season 5 really didn't bring out that much commercial success.

  • Still, it was an interesting season.

  • Carrie Underwood looked both surprised and disappointed in the result

  • Bo Bice should have won season four.

  • U are right!

  • lool 3:27 the person is holding the "got soul?" sign upside down... great performance tho by T.H.

  • just a guess but maybe some people voted more than once? Better yet like 10 times. Is this clearing it up at all?

  • ei.. how dare you say that!!

  • He didn't sing half of the song.

  • The Hoff is my Idol!!!

  • Don't hassle the Hoff was there....crying!

  • This brought tears to my eyes... he is so good!!!

    A proud member of the soul patrol!!

  • hmm..actually, season 4 was the biggest season! they had 500 million votes while this only had 63.4 million!

  • there are not even 500 million people in america. so how is that possible?

  • me851995 got owned

  • People can vote more than once.

  • but its still impossible. about 37 milion watched the finale. and only about half of those actually vote. so roughly 20million vote. it's impossible to have 500 million votes. and the idol 06 finale had 67 million votes. they say how many votes they get at every finale

  • I still think he could be successful with the right material or his style

  • He lost his record deal.... :(

  • Taylor may not be the best singer in the world but he is a very classy guy. :)

    I guess one reason why he won was because that he's entertaining, really swee, and a fun guy to be around with.

    He deserves to win!

    I 100% agree that this season the greatest and most entertaing.

    Since this season, American Idol is being truely unfair to many hopefuls.

  • Taylor deserved to win. He is the greatest American Idol.

  • i wanted katherine mcphee to win but somehow i thought that taylor deserved to win. he's a good singer.

  • Soul patrol!

    This video sends chills up my spine.

    Lol-I have goosebumps.

  • wat hapend 2 him???

  • When i was watching this on t.v i was so nervous, but i knew my favorite would win that year. i was so happy, he really earned it!!

  • I think Katharine went the completely wrong direction with her career. Taylor's album is far superior, and he's far superior IMO.

  • ..You guys are all wrong. The winner with the best voice is Kelly Clarkson..

  • well i think kelly was the most successful but carrie underwood has a great voice but she doesnt use it well

  • i prefer katharine

  • It doesnt matter who won on Ameican idol only that they get noticed!

  • He seems to be a very humble man. Thats a beautiful song.

  • i luv taylor hicks he is sooo coool

  • Yeah well carrie did & she is the best.

  • and she is the most successful of all american idol alumni

  • Taylor had a much better following, and a voice everybody loved. That's why he won.

  • i luv taylor hicks!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i will always remember this song and how much this means 2 me i sang this song in my 5th grade graduation and my teacher was crying:'( i will remember it 4 the rest of my life

  • Taylor has a great voice
