American Idol

I've never been a reality TV watcher, but this year I became engrossed by American Idol. Actually, by Taylor Hicks, whom I was a fan of from the first audition. His gray hair and odd, but soulful style captured my eyes and ears. I watched the show religiously each week, joined the Official SoulPatrol fan site and called in votes each week.This was the first time I ever called in a vote on any TV show. There was just something about this man I liked. I was thrilled to see him win the competition. Way to go Soul Patrol!
