Kelly Clarkson or Taylor Hicks?

um kelly clarkson did win american idol and I agree with you she has an awesome voice. however Taylor hicks was 100% better than Katherine McFee. in my opinion. :)

They both won American Idol. I honestly couldn't tell you any of the songs Taylor Hicks sings. Other than his grey hair and his funky dancing, he's pretty forgettable. Kelly Clarkson, I think since she was the first-ever winner of American Idol, she sticks in my mind more. And, I like her songs. Were you thinking of Katherine McPhee? She was the runner up to Taylor Hicks. To be honest, in that competition, I was hoping for Taylor Hicks because he was the underdog. It looked pretty obvious, because of Katherine McPhee's looks that she'd be successful with or without American Idol. And, I was right.

Kelly Clarkson by a long way is better then Taylor Hicks. I am still upset that he won last year there were so many others that were better to me then he was.

There really isn't any comparison between the 2 singers you mentioned. They both have very different styles of performing. Also, you may have gotten Kelly Clarkson mixed up with someone else, since Kelly "was" the American Idol in season 1.Taylor won the title last year.

Kelly is the bomb. I love Taylor don't get me wrong, but Kelly's vocals are far superior. But then it seems that Taylor's overall musicianship is better. They really are far too different to compare though. Thanks dude.

I picked taylor to win from his very first audition, but obviously kelly has been the one standout of american idol so far, i think she has sold a ton of records and is very talented
