Taylor Hicks shares his serendipitous story on becoming the winner of American Idol -- from barely escaping Hurricane Katrina, getting a free flight to Vegas and learning about the Idol tryouts just a few hours prior -- the rest is history.

    Thank you for the Taylor Hicks interview. As luvbooks said, "Taylor makes music fun again." His music and the band are REAL musicians, a rarity in the world of music today - certainly on the radio. Attending one of his concerts is just plain fun! This man always gives 110% on stage. You walk out with a smile on your face and a song in your heart!

    Taylor Hicks is the man! He creates this wonderful world of music and to our delight shares it with us. He is a giving soul, not only music but his heart to to support variuos charities. Taylor makes music fun again though he has known both sadness and joy in his rollercoaster journey. What can I say, More Taylor, more fun, fun,fun.
