Notes
ADD NOTES
- Taylor Hicks' age is stated as 29. The age limit is 28. Even at the time the original audition took place (not the one in front of the judges) he was 29. The rules state that contestants must be between 16-28 (age restrictions for that year) by August 4th of the year of auditions (2005 in this case). His birthday is October 7th, so he was eligibleeven though at the time of audition he was older than the maximum age.
