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."

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!
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.

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.
