OlderTaylor Hicks' High School Pictures
As the weeks passed until the May 24 American Idol finale, Taylor Hicks‘ gray-haired, dorky-dancing image became as much a part of his appeal as his fantastic, soul-shouting vocals. However, his newfound fans might be surprised to learn that Hicks, 29, was a hunky, basketball-playing ladies’ man at his Hoover, Ala., high school!
Taylor Hicks will release his first single, "Do I Make You Proud" on June 13th. "Takin’ It To The Streets" is also on the CD’s track listing. You can pre-order it from Amazon. Taylor’s self-produced album, "Under The Radar" is also selling well. Taylor also performed "Do I Make You Proud" on Regis and Kelly yesterday morning; check out the video below! More pictures of Taylor Hicks’ high school pictures in the gallery!

Oh my goodness, American Idol is such a joke, what losers actually think they are going to make it on that show Kelly Clarkson is a fluke and this loser is ugly and old, who wants him to be a star?
Ummmm….your 15 minutes are up.
For those of you who are Taylor skeptics, you should really know the facts before you bad mouth Mr. Hicks. He is an amazingly talented songwriter, musician, and singer. He’s performed on the Gulf Coast (where I’m from) for many years. He’s soulful and passionate about music. AI didn’t give him the opprotunity to showcase all of his amazing talent. He is so much more than just a singer with some crazy dance moves. America has become so saturated by bubble gum, pop music that real music and real talent have lost their appeal. I feel sorry for you guys! Taylor is truly one of the greatest artists of our time, so what if he used AI to get his voice heard. Every artist breaks into the biz somehow. He’s paid his dues for over ten years & its about time that someone brings back great music to the mainstream. Soul Patrol!!!
Wonder if his beard still grows in black. And by the way, if he were on coke, hooverite, he’d be skin and bones. Dimwit.
I was talking about his aging. And when it’s coupled with a good amount of alcohol abuse, weight gain can occur. It’s pretty well known in the Birmingham scene…but I’m sure you don’t really KNOW the boy.
taylor you are an amazing and HOT musician/singer. I hope you don’t read the crap from these dimwits who wouldnt know good music if it bit them in the,..
He has the appeal of an Elvis–some similarity in looks also. Am I the only one to see this?
I love those pictures. Taylor is the most charismatic, mesmerizing artist to ever grace an AI stage. Besides his obvious talent, he’s one sexy man, and I love his looks. His personality is gracious and lovable. What more could we want? He’s hoootttt!!!
Taylor Hicks was awesome then and he’s definitly awesome now!!! His BIG WIN was much deserved!!! Long live the soul patrol!!!
I think Taylor is very sexy. So what if he has gray hair at an early age. He seems like a true gentleman. I don’t think the person that posted he looks good with Katherine knows what they are talking about. He is too good for that already ritzy, wealthy spoiled brat. She’s too much of a daddy’s girl and she is nothing to look at. He can very well do much better. She acts like she is too good for anyone.
Hooverite, you may think you’re slick but ya can’t slide on barbwire. Who do you think you’re fooling with that screenname?
Taylor is soo gorgeous, whoever he starts dating is one lucky girl!! He is beautiful!
I wonder what color his pubes are. he should really lose weight, bulk up, and dye his hair a little bit. he should aslo have some work done in his face and he would look great. well he probably will in a few years (cough* clay aiken*cough)
ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT WANT TO JUDGE TAYLOR, WHY DON’T YOU GO AHEAD AND PUT A PICTURE OF YOURSELF ON THE INTERNET SO WE CAN SEE HOW ATTRACTIVE YOU ARE. ALL YOU PEOPLE WANT TO JUDGE AND I WOULD BET THAT THE ONES SAYING HE’S FAT AND NOT THE BEST LOOKING AND BLA BLA BLA, YOU PROBABLY NEED TO GET A MAKEOVER NOT TAYLOR HICKS. TAYLOR IS THE BOMB!!!!!! ALSO HE’S VERY HOT………….
BY THE WAY TAYLOR, GIVE ME A SHOUT OUT352-622-8732
Well, from a musicians aspect, I think Taylor Hicks is probably one of the best singers that I have ever heard. He is up there with John Mayer, Martin Sexton, Keith Urban, the lead singer from rascal flatts, and any other top voice in the music industry. He is also one hell of a songwriter as well. I have been performing music for a long time, playing guitar, singing, song writing, alto sax, tenor sax, piano, drums, and bass guitar, so I know a good musician when I hear one. Taylor Hicks had this thing locked from his first audition. By the way, you can check out my websites for my band if you want, http://www.myspace.com/fightingunder or http://www.geocities.com/fightingunder. I am the tough looking guy with the glasses…..lol….all of the songs on these sites were written and performed by my lead guitar player, Evan Hamley, and myself.
Well, From a musicians stand point, I believe Taylor Hicks is one of the best vocalist in the music industry. He is right up there with John Mayer or any other great vocalist. I have been involved in music since i can remember. I am a guitar player, Singer/songwriter, alto sax player, drummer, bassist, pianist, tenor sax player, and saprono sax player, so I know true musicianship when I see or hear it. And Taylor Hicks has everything he needs to become the best ever. By the way, you can check out my bands websites if you want, http://www.myspace.com/fightingunder, http://www.geocities.com/fightingunder, email me and let me know what you think, or you can just post the feedback on here, thanks.
Taylor is beautiful; inside and out.
i am 27 and have blonde hair and i would date him no matter what he looks like. i voted 30 times in one night
Taylor Hicks is the Best thing that ever happen to American Idol
I DID know Taylor in high school and he’s not a boozer, not a coke-head, and he’s not playing up to anyone or anything. He’s been like this for as long as I’ve known him (His days in middle school). He’s got a great attitude and was so charming, I even had a huge crush on him in HS. I mean, most girls DID. He deserves this. He’s worked harder at this than most people will work on menial $7/hour jobs their whole life. Just let the kid enjoy his blessings.
And BTW, a lot of people could take a cue from this guy. He NEVER played a girl, took advantage of her, and when I was this shy little girl who fell all over myself at 15 for a tall basketball player with a humble attitude about his grey hairs and broken nose, he treated me like a sister and would remind me often that he’d do anything for me if I needed help. I mean, come ON!
I THINK TAYLOR HICKS IS A GEAT TALENT GUY. LOVE HIS CONCERTS. LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MORE.
YOUR BIG FAN LISA
He needs to die his ******* hair man white people age fast…….
