Quote:Let’s not forget Dominic Fortune as the DJ Vince Fontaine (great voice, and one was instantly catapulted back to the era with his lively performance), and, of course, there is American Idol Taylor Hicks as the Teen Angel. The Teen Angel is meant to be cheesy and silly, and Hicks was both of those things, but the campy way the role was played actually added something special to the show, much to my surprise. He sang with a great deal of his trademark blues/soul style, and adding the harmonica was a stroke of genius. You don’t bring in an internationally recognized face for a cameo unless it can impress…and Hicks delivers the goods.
