Can I rant about Taylor Hicks for a minute?

“American Idol” season five winner Taylor Hicks ? I need to include his title when introducing him because most of the world has already forgotten who he is ? recently joined the current Broadway production of “Grease” as the new Teen Angel. I have a few issues with this, the biggest one of course being that a man who looks like he’s 45 is playing a role designed for a teenage icon.

But the whole Broadway show aside, I’d just like to take a moment to pose a very important question: Why the hell did Taylor Hicks ever win “American Idol” in the first place?! I know he had middle America on its collective knees with his whole “Soul Patrol” thing, but what was it beyond that: His suspicious gray hair? The permanently doofy expression on his face? No, wait… it must have been his impeccable dancing skills (seen in the photos below):

It’s sh*t like this that makes me want to move to Canada.
