“‘American Idol’ winner Taylor Hicks has sued a Tennessee music producer to halt the online distribution of songs the grey-haired crooner recorded five years before copping the reality TV crown. In a lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Alabama, Hicks charges that William Smith recently sold three of his songs via Apple’s iTunes music store,” The Smoking Gun reports.
Full article, including a copy of Hicks’s complaint, here.

Lawsuit? Why didn’t Hicks just send the Soul Patrol after him?
William Smith == Will Smith?
Mr. Hicks….13 minutes and counting
Taylor Hicks is a JOKE.
American Idol is a JOKE.
American Idol fans are a JOKE.
Almost forgot-
DELL SUCKS
Taylor – You got no talent bud not to mention that you look like one of my relatives. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame
Dell Sucks –
Your mastery of the English language is very impressive.
These so-called “American Idols” make Michael Bolton look like Pavarotti.
Was that three different songs, or three copies of the same song?
Just asking

He beat me to the punch. I was going to sue Apple to stop iTMS from selling Taylor Hicks songs also – because they SUCK!!!
Oh well, at least he’s suing the producer and not Apple. I mean actually doing the right thing to get his music taken off the store, instead of going after Apple for ***BILLIONS*** in damages.
Taylor Hicks better get all he can. Because I’m looking at my watch, and the 15 minutes is almost over.
American Idol is the suck.
If he signed a contract, his law suit will just cost him money.
The addition of one word to the title would have made it clear enough that I could have saved myself from reading about the embarrassment that is American idol.
That word is producer.
Taylor Hicks sues [producer] over Apple iTunes Music Store releases.

I’d like to sue America for watching this tripe.
