Taylor Hicks and Passion

American Idol. Taylor Hicks. Gray hair. Stevie Wonder-esque melodies. How does this all fit together? If you've been watching Fox's American Idol, you know Taylor Hicks is anything but the stereotypical teen "idol" (to use the term loosely, but that's for a totally different entry). Yet, he succeeds because he exudes passion. He loves music. And that's why he will, or should, win American Idol. If he doesn't, you know record companies are lining up to sign him.

At the end of the day, passion triumphs.
