Well, Alabama has done it again: Alabama born & bred, Taylor Hicks , is in the final three to win the title of "American Idol."

I am a Huntsville native. However, I do not feel obligated to vote for Taylor. He’s a goofball lounge lizard who has a novelty appeal on the show but will not be able to sell CDs in the real world. All the Alabamians who vote for him just because he’s from our state would never run out and buy a CD of his - unless he starts singing about sexy tractors or bombing Iran. He may sell copies of his first album but he will fade just like Reuben Studdard. Katherine and Chris are the only ones who will move product over the long haul.
My fave is Taylor Hicks
originality
vocals
dance
good looking
loves his audience/gans
impromptu
loves performing
gives everything he has!
Need I say more? He is the next American Idol.
