McPhee-ver is doused by the Soul Patrol!!

Taylor Hicks is the New American Idol!! Many said it could not be done...but the silver haired boy from Alabama just stole the show and proved he could not be "out done."

Awkward moment #1:

The duet between Meatloaf and Kat...too bad they didn't do this tonight because he made her sound so much better than she actually is...granted he was sweatin' harder than Richard Simmons and Whitney Houston combined!!










Awkward moment #2: Clay Aiken's "coiffure."

"A picture is worth a thousand words!"

WHO did this to him????!!!

























Awkward moment #3:
This whole set up was just...weird. They started by "awarding" the doof that said in early auditions he could be the next Clay Aiken. He is without question...NO Clay Aiken. Then the bastards let him sing-just so they could bring out the real deal to serenade us all with "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me." (So many jokes could be made here, but realize that I'm holding back because I'm terrified of a pregnant woman!) I felt bad for the goofball kid (fake Clay) because he started singing along like it was a duet! They finally shut his mike off and Ryan actually walked him off out of the view to cast the focus on Aiken. (again-I'm refraining here!! and it's killing KILLING me!!)



Awkward moment #4: With the news impending that Taylor WOULD be crowned King of the World tonight, he and Kat did a duet to "I've Had the Time of My Life" (yes guys, it's from Dirty Dancing...it's ok to admit you know and love it!!) while Kat magically turned into Paula and started waving her dress in the air like crazy. I was scared for Taylor, I thought perhaps she would wrap his head in the train when Ryan announced the winner and it would suffocate him. Look at his face in this picture...I think he was scared too!
