Since winning the title of "American Idol" in May 2006, Taylor Hicks has had appearances on TV shows, commercials, magazine covers and entertainment news. Taylor Hicks knows, and often makes mention of his fans, known as the Soul Patrol, for his win on "American Idol." Here's a personal diary of one Soul Patrol member and how she came to see her idol in person and what it meant to her.

"Hi, my name is Allison Hughes. I'm 17-years-old living in a small New Jersey town. I have been a huge fan of Taylor Hicks from the moment I saw him on television at his audition for American Idol. There's just so much about him that hooked me in. When I found out that he would be appearing and performing on The Today Show in New York City, I did everything I could to go. It didn't look like it would happen, but I finally found a way and convinced my parents to let me go. It was on Thursday, June 1st. A day I will never forget..."
