Comments on: Was Taylor Hicks and American Idol mistake? http://stupidcelebrities.net/2007/03/01/was-taylor-hicks-and-american-idol-mistake/ The Latest Celebrity News and Gossip updated daily Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:13:06 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: awgie http://stupidcelebrities.net/2007/03/01/was-taylor-hicks-and-american-idol-mistake/comment-page-1/#comment-78857 awgie Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:23:08 +0000 http://stupidcelebrities.net/?p=354#comment-78857 I knew the moment it happened that it was a mistake. Look at what you've got - a middle-aged grey-haired white male, trying to look like a cross between Garth Brooks and Vince Gill, with all the talent of Garth Brooks MINUS Vince Gill, winning over the beautiful AND talented Katharine McPhee (among others). I suspect he won only because no one wanted to be accused of being sexist and voting for her simply because she was a beautiful woman. While it has helped some talented artists get their record deals, I have never thought too highly of the whole AI concept, because as a popular TV show, they will do what it takes to stay popular, even if it means creating controversy by voting for someone like Hicks.
