    My girls at the time he was on American Idol were 3 1/2 and they absolutely fell in love with him right away and they still love him. They have been to 4 of his concerts and we are going to see him on Broadway. We got to meet him once at the Warner Theater and he is absolutely an awesome guy he is very nice and has a great personality I would recommend his music to anyone he is very inspiring!!!!!!!!!

    Taylor Hicks' CD

    Taylor Hicks' CD is amazing, and appropriate for people of many ages. Although I'm not sure if young children would appreciate the style as much as older children. He is an amazing vocalist/performer/musician and a great man. I highly recommend the CD.
