Posted June 4, 200619 yr 'Idol' Taylor Hicks signs record deal Taylor performs his debut single 'Do I Make You Feel Proud' live on the AI Final [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFah-RAf5KA.swf By Associated Press Updated: 06/01/06 NEW YORK - Taylor Hicks has taken step two on his "American Idol"- fueled career, signing the record contract that comes with winning the hit show. The gray-haired crooner inked a pact with music mogul Clive Davis in conjunction with 19 Recordings Unlimited, the label managed by "AI" creator Simon Fuller, it was announced Wednesday. The 29-year-old Alabama native's recording of two songs — "Do I Make You Proud," which he performed in the show's finale, and a soulful cover of the Doobie Brothers classic "Takin' It to the Streets" — will be released in stores and through digital outlets on June 13. With Davis' guidance, Hicks is expected to release a full-length album later this year. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Davis, who has molded the careers of previous "Idol" winners, said he thinks Hicks has charisma and a unique singing style that will help him establish his pop audience. "He definitely has his own sound," Davis told the AP. "He does have that gift, you know who it is when you hear him." © 2005 HappyNews.com

June 4, 200619 yr I can't stand his voice and the song is so bland and forgettable. If it is ever released in The Uk then it will be a big flop which will struggle to make the top 75 nevermind the top 40!
June 4, 200619 yr Well in the usa looks like most people will buy his stuff but i don't think he would do well in the uk. He looks a lot older than his real age..even if he dyed his hair he would look old.

He looks a lot older than his real age..even if he dyed his hair he would look old. well in California a lot of the older stars will probably look a lot younger just because of all the botox and facelifts, so as he goes up one way the 50 year old bypass him the other. well thats the wonderful weird place that we all love to gossip about i suppose.
