WASHINGTON – Congressman Spencer Bachus, who represents Taylor Hicks’ hometown of Hoover, tonight congratulated Hicks on being crowned the newest American Idol.
“It has seemed evident for several weeks now that the next American Idol would be ‘Taylor-made.’ After his stellar performance on Tuesday and tonight’s victory, I believe I speak for everyone in Alabama when I say, ‘Yes, Taylor, you do make us proud.’”
Hicks is the third finalist in American Idol’s five seasons to hail from Alabama’s Sixth Congressional District.
