NEW YORK (AP) — When Elliott Yamin competed on the fifth season of "American Idol," his singing brought Paula Abdul to tears and Simon Cowell described his voice as a "vocal masters class."

                    [Summary] => 



Much is being made out of the fact that although he did not win the title of American Idol (AI), Chris Daughtry’s debut album simply entitled Daughtry made No. 1 in the hit charts and produced the hit single It’s Not Over.  Then there are also the raves that runner-up Katharine McPhee’s self-titled album has been getting. Expectations are also very high about the outcome of the first album by Elliot Yamin and Kellie Pickler, another finalist, has a Gold Record for her first effort.

(First of two parts)

Never, perhaps, has a person with so stiff a body as Taylor Hicks, the new American Idol, captivated a world of television and music maniacs. His dancing is contagious, his range sets you wondering what generation he really belongs to, and his high notes do not drown but highlight his soul. Taylor as a performer is all charisma.

And so it came to pass that 29-year-old country boy with soul Taylor Hicks whose prematurely gray hair helped him stand out from the pack is the new American Idol.

It’s down to the final four and the voting is getting furious, whether in the US where it actually counts, or in offices here where people are taking bets. The grand finals will be on May 24 and 25 and you can bet it’s going to be as hot as last year’s Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice showdown. AI is shown on StarWorld with afternoon and primetime telecasts.

We might not go for McDonald’s for fear of supersizing ourselves. We might try to avoid Starbucks so as not to inhale all that cigarette smoke in what’s a virtual lung center. We might still want to continue boycotting Coca-Cola and everything else associated with big businesses of the United States we think are harmful to our health.
