Taylor Hicks-Billy Wins American Idol

Over 63.4 million votes were cast. Nothing surprises me anymore, when it comes to America voting. 59 million people voted for the current resident of the White House, and look at the mess we are in now. Kat comes from California and they are just tooooo laid back to vote. Taylor Hicks-Billy as you know comes from the deep south , where they support anything local, including moron presidents. I guess there is nothing wrong with being a bible-thumping, Republican, back-ass thinking red-neck, but for crying out loud, couldn't they even LISTEN to the man sing?? EVERY person on the stage had a BETTER voice then him. The deal is, Mr. Hicks-Billy was an accomplished bar performer with several years experience, and Kat was barely able to legally be in a bar. He's actually a magician. A magician will distract your attention away from the trick, and then amaze you when he pulls it off. Taylor runs around on stage putting on a show, and you forget the fact that he can't sing worth a shit. At least most people forget. I didn't. His first single should have been 'Magic Man'. That however would have been a DISREPECTABLE afront to the Wilson sisters from the rock band 'Heart', who, by the way can flat sing. Anyhow, my congratulations go out to Mr. Hicks-Billy. He did pull it off, even if it was in the same manner as the "Texas Moron". In 5 years , probably less, people will be asking" Whatever happened to that white-haired guy who won Idol a few years back??, and they will be asking this question while they are driving to the local stadium to see Kat in concert, or more likely Chris Daughtry, who by the way, was the REAL talent in this competition. In closing, please don't comment and say anything about Hicks-Billy being like Joe Cocker or Rod Stewert.
Both of these performers sing and write their own music, and have done so for decades. While their singing ability may be sub-par, they more then make up for this by writing their own music. Think Bob Dylan. He can't sing his way out of a wet paper bag, but look at his contribution to music. Taylor couldn't carry Joe Cocker's air guitar.....
