Congratulations Taylor Hicks!
Taylor Hicks, the 29 year old Birmingham native, won the "American Idol" title Wednesday night in front of a whopping 35.4 million viewers according to Nielson ratings. I congratulate him on a job well done; he was competing against the most talented group of contestants this show has ever seen. Taylor was the only one that stayed out of the bottom 3/2 the entire season. He stayed consistent through out the competition and always stood out, which was necessary in a sea of talent being thrown at us each week. Katharine McPhee, the 22 year old from Sherman Oaks California came in second place.
