10 reasons Taylor Hicks should win

10. At 47, I no longer like songs that I have to deconstruct. Hence Chris Daughtry held no appeal because his songs sound like promotions for wrestling videos in which steroidal maniacs bemoan their very understandable isolation.

9. Nobody on TV has spaz-danced liked Taylor since Elaine on Seinfeld. The time has come again.

8. I'm tired of watching Katherine McPhee's dad weep like it's nuc-u-lar winter every time his kid opens her toothy mouth.

7. Elliott Yamin: a great future hanging with Clay Aiken. Selling records? Not so much.

6. Taylor: music to soothe a long drive. Kat: an advertisement for orthodontia and Maybelline.

5. Simon Cowell is more likely to have a crippling seizure if Taylor wins.

4. Taylor: now downloadable at such Web sites as www.graycharles. com. Katherine: more memorable for wardrobe cut so high on hip and low on bosom that you can watch her dinner being digested.

3. After hearing Kellie Hickler, er, Pickler, crease my fillings with her falsetto on Unchained Melody, I think American Idol owes me a palatable winner who is not being marketed as the next Jessica Simpson.

2. No worries of Kat-like wardrobe malfunctions with Taylor: He exudes all the hormonal danger of Liberace crossed with Willie Nelson.

1. Taylor reminds me of Bill Clinton, Sweet Home Alabama and Play That Funky Music -- all popular in the days when I was not close to AARP membership. Kat reminds me that my knees hurt, the living room needs new paint and I have kids to put through college -- the mundane concerns of middle age.

Well at least not with AI and puppies-rainbows-kittens songs.

But we shall see, we shall see.
