		<description>Taylor was definitely thanking the band - he is a musician himself and has been very much appreciative of the musicians on the show - he showed more regard for the musicans than any other AI contestant I&#039;ve seen in all 5 years of Idol. This is just one of his wonderful traits.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve looked at the video of his final performance of DIMYP on the winning night several times. I really don&#039;t think he was saying &quot;Thank you to the FANS&quot; because he already did that when he said &quot;Soul Patrol! Soul Patrol!&quot; and &quot;Thank you, America.&quot;  I THINK he was saying &quot;Thank you to the BANDS&quot; because that was the direction he pointed to. 
Anyone else agree?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Hicks may be the second Birmingham man to win “Idol,” but he’s also the oldest contestant to finish first, as well as the first one to win a man-woman finale&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Sorry Wade -- but Ruben Studdard was the first man to defeat a woman in the finals.  Taylor Reuben Hicks is the second.</description>
