		<description>Love ya Taylor Hicks! This is America's music!!!! You are US and WE sent the music industry a big fat message!!!! Much love, ~ Michaux
Hicks' sound is more classic soul and R&#38;B, which isn't among the current priorities of the ClearChannel empire. That means it's not heard on the radio very often. 
Perhaps that's the point. The 63.4 million votes that led to his victory could be read as a signal that maybe not everyone is in the market for cookie-cutter pop music. Maybe the viewers are asking for some variety in their radio diet, rather than just another manufactured Jessica Simpson/Britney Spears clone.
