Alabama native Taylor Hicks has just been announced as the winner of this season’s American Idol competition. Taylor gave a enthusiastic shoutout to the Soul Patrol, and then took the mike for an encore performance of Do I Make You Proud?. No word yet on the final numbers, but based on Tuesday’s show I’d been fairly certain Taylor would win. While both he and Katharine McPhee had their ups and downs, he was generally in better voice, and throughout the season he seemed to pick songs that were well suited to his talent and personality. Chalk up another victory for Southern singers.
