    Taylor was the winner of the fifth season of the talent show American Idol. The album produced by Matt Serletic features 12 brand new recordings with titles to include: 'Run Around' 'Dream Myself Awake' 'Wherever I Lay My Hat' 'Gonna Move' and 'The Right Place.'.Out of all the millions of words that have been written about American Idol one topic that's never fully addressed is how the show winds up finding and filling America's forgotten pop music needs. Genres that have been banished from the airwaves for one reason or another - usually because they didn't fit within the strictly regimented confines of corporate radio - have resurfaced on the show whether it's unabashedly square middle of the road pop old-fashioned deep soul Southern rock or blue-eyed soul. This may not have been true of the show's first season when the two finalists Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini pretty much fit the bill for TV-produced pop stars - clean and cute singing dance-pop designed for the teenagers everyone assumed were AmIdol's core audience - but things started to veer off track in the show's second season when squeaky-clean Clay Aiken and soul crooner Ruben Studdard constituted the top two. Instead of being a fluke this was the beginning of American Idol's celebration of neglected styles leading to the barnstorming soul of Fantasia Barrino in season three the Southern rock of Bo Bice in season four and then the white-haired blue-eyed soul belter Taylor Hicks who unexpectedly took the top honors in season five. At first glance Hicks sure didn't seem like an American Idol: with that prematurely white hair and his slightly hefty frame he seemed like somebody's dad trying to pass as an AmIdol contestant which was part of his charm. But charm alone doesn' 19 Recordings Limited / Arista Nashville
