ClickOnDetroit.com Producer Christina Ulaj had a chance to speak with American Idol winner Taylor Hicks.

With the help of our viewers, Christina asked Taylor a variety of questions.

Christina: Is being an American Idol all you thought it would be?
Taylor: Everything and more.

Christina: How has your life changed since you won American Idol?
Taylor: It's been a roller coaster ride.

Christina: We know that you are artistic, but do you have talents that we don't know about?
Taylor: No, everything is all in the open.

Christina: Do you have a girlfriend, and what do you look for in a girlfriend?
Taylor: No girlfriend, but my dream girl is somebody funny...probably outside of the industry.

Christina: If your singing career didn't work out, what other goals do you have for yourself?
Taylor: I would finish my 30 hours in Journalism.

Christina: Taylor, one of our viewers wants to know how old you really are and if you could prove it by showing a birth certificate?
Taylor: with a laugh...55

Christina: What has been your most favorite, least favorite experience since winning American Idol?
Taylor: Being able to go the Oval Office. As far as for least favorite, there hasn't been one.

Christina: What did you think about Detroit when you visited here during your last tour?
Taylor: I thought Detroit was cool. I've been there before and we had a great crowd there and we hope to come back soon.

I also asked Taylor what he thought of Sanjaya Malakar and who he predicts to be the next American Idol. Taylor said he has been extremely busy with touring and American Idol usually starts as he begins to perform.

However, Taylor did say that he plans to catch up by watching the show, and in about a week, he'll predict who will be this year's winner.
