Taylor Hicks
Taylor Hicks is the most unlikely "American Idol" winner yet. Not only that, he's one of the most popular, too.
The Birmingham, Ala., native was the third champion — after Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood — never to hit the bottom three on the show, which earned record-high ratings with Hicks.
After spending years toiling on the wedding/coffeehouse/bar circuit, Hicks has graduated to headlining status on the American Idols Live tour, which stops Tuesday in St. Paul.
