Taylor Reuben Hicks (born October 6, 1976 in Birmingham) is a singer/songwriter and finalist on the fifth season of American Idol.
Hicks is a former student of Auburn University and UAB. He had gained some fame in the state for his nightclub performances, and released two independent albums, In Your Time (1997) and Under the Radar (2005). Hicks also was heard on Tapestry, a radio program on WBHM in December 2005.
Hicks auditioned for American Idol in Las Vegas with the song "A Change is Gonna Come". Idol judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul were early fans of his quirky performance and humble manner, while Simon Cowell found his act grating. Despite Cowell's predictions, Hicks is among the seasons 12 finalists. His fans on the Fox American Idol message boards have nicknamed themselves the "Soul Patrol".
