From American Idol Winner To…THIS!
Filed under: American Idol
Oh, how far he's fallen!
Former A.I. champ Taylor Hicks has lost his recording contract and has resorted to….
Starring in the touring production of Grease.
And he's not even one of the leads!
Taylor is performing the very very very small role of "Teen Angel." This week Grease hits Baltimore.
Hey, at least it's a paycheck and his home isn't in foreclosure - that we know of!

Maybe because…. well…. HE SUCKED ASS!
douche.
BAHAHAHAHA. Oh, that's sad
The Teen Angle has like, one scene.
Where's your "Soul Patrol" now asswipe?
Sad…. Moving on…
WHOO!!
Taylor Hicks just wasn't AI material, BUT everyone drank the kool-aid and voted for him. Poor guy! You have to feel sorry for him. I'm sure he thought that the AI people would promote him and would help him, but he only fits a certain genre and that's it. Even Elliot Yamin made it and he is actually pretty good. Anyway, like you said at least Taylor is bringing in a paycheck and he'll always be known as an AI winner…
AWE THAT'S SAD..
He's lucky to even have work.
aww! Poor Taylor. That was a pretty shitty season he was on…
Re: harrybalsac – PALL (pee'd a little laughing)
Re: eri_Ka – Must be using him to try and drum up business… wonder if it is working???
Hey, this is more than a lot of the other winners are doing. At least he has a damn job.
This guy looks like my grandfather…how the hell was he an american idol!?! I'm american and I don't idolize that frumpy bitch!
Looks like Perez sans 150 pounds and grey hair!!!
Re: Hawt Granny – Okay, well maybe only "more" than Ruben Studdard…but still. LOL
He also just sang the National Anthem at the Vikings game the other day. What a loser.
I saw him last night in Grease in Minneapolis and it seemed they made they show center COMPLETELY around him! He wasn't until about the 8th act and then once the show ended, it was like "The Taylor Hicks Show" Very strange. He has a fine voice, but not quite a voice for Broadway that's for sure.
I saw this poster at Hunt Valley the other day and thought it was sad.
He was in Grease a few months ago on Broadway and he performed "Beauty School Dropout" on Regis & Kelly and it was painful.
That's kinda sad.
Ruben's in the same boat: he's on a small tour with "Ain't Misbehavin" with the woman that auditioned for AI and got the boot because of some pornographic photos.
he is gross and ugly and anyone that looks like him should have plastic surgery.
Could be worse, could be writing gossip columns.
he came from american idol, what did you expect?
Maybe because they all suck ass. Singers are a dime a dozen. Im sure everyone reading this know someone who sings. It's not like they had to learn an instrument or something. Who give a crap about any of them. They sould be having band competitions. Who cares that someone can open their mouth and sing. For instance where would Whitney be if she couldnt sing. She would be a cracked out whore…..oops bad example. What is Winehouse….wait that ones bad too.
Give it a year or so He'll be looking like John Goodman….
Some winners or recent contestants have what it takes to make pop hits. The world just wasn't feelin him.
It's all those dumb fucks fault that voted for the "soul patrol". WTF did you think his nerdy ass was going to accomplish?
you know, i always thought him winning AI was like the kiss of death for that show. he was surrounded by all these people who were so talented and he could hardly even carry a tune. i couldn't figure out why in the world he of all people won. so if you ask me (which you didn't
) he is right where he belongs
boring
is this hunt valley as in maryland
haha he sucks
Kevin Covais (Chicken Little) played "Teen Angel" in his Middle School production of Grease!!
Whatever let him have his job in peace. haters.
Well Ruben "Fat Ass" Studdard was just in the touring production of "Ain't Misbehavin'" so both suck huge amounts of asshole. I hate them both and they were both an embarrassment to AI and America (so was Fantasia).
HEY!!!!! Hunt Valley Town Center!!!! I was just there today! I live like 45 minutes away and graduated from a college nearby. Wow neato.
He was a small bleep as an AI
who cares? what else do you expect him to do? become a movie star? hes cheesy anyways but i never was a fan of american idol
hahaha, that's the mall by house at home.
HUNT VALLEY!
Haha sorry I live here. Anyways, yeah some of the AI singers just end up like this..it's sad…
fucking hate him
fucking hate him
fucking hate him
i cant even say his name
my friend met his and said he was a fucking asshole
his breathe smelt like cigarettes and right after he went to the bar
and he was an asshole to her too
fuckkking hate him, i like died when he fucking won
Where's all his fat middle aged fans now??
b-more reprazent!
Ok…what 26 year old goes gray and doesn't die his hair??? ok, besides him…
HE SHOULD NOT HVE BEEN CROWNED AI..HE DOES NOT HVE WHAT IT TAKES !!
HAHAHAHA OH MY GOD HE WAS THE LAMEST WINNER EVER.
Taylor Hicks is an ungrateful ass. I am glad his career tanked. He is rude to his fans. "No Soul Patrol…"
This guy's voice and whole persona sucks. He was the worst AI winner I've ever seen.
ouch..
i never wanted taylor hicks to win a.i. or thought he was a good singer. omg! i cant believe hes stooping soooooo low.
The only way he could be cast as Teen Angel is if Cloris Leachman and Don Rickles are Sandy and Danny.
WOOHOO HUNT VALLEY
