Taylor Hicks, Season 5 Winner
Who can forget Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks? But while he may have gone on to win the show, he may actually be remembered more for beating his runner up, the gorgeous Katherine McPhee. Only because no one could believe that he would take home the title rather than McPhee. Although Hicks would go on to release 2 albums, they never truly gained any momentum and both albums struggled with sales, forcing his label to drop him.
