Taylor Hicks is back performing on "American Idol." More than any other winner he was a creature of the show. His Soul Patrol sprung up seemingly overnight, he did really well on the show's format, won - -and since then....

I liked him when he was on "Idol"; a great guy, someone who had a lot of fun and who seemed to enjoy all the silliness that comes with competing on "American Idol" (doing hokey commercials, bantering with Ryan, dressing up).

But I think the show has grown to the point where he wouldn't crack the current top five. He gives the finalists great advice, though -- it's all about song choice at this point .
