Top 100 'American Idol' Hits of All Time

# 30 "Do I Make You Proud" - Taylor Hicks

Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for one week (2006)


Dave Way and the production duo known as Absolute were asked to work with Elliott Yamin, Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks, the top three finalists on season five, to prepare the coronation song for the winner. They recorded "Do I Make You Proud" with Yamin and the next day he was voted off the show. "We figured that was the end of that," says Way. "Then we got a call that Taylor wanted to record the song. We had one night to get it done and Taylor learned the song in the car on his way to the studio. His take on it was a lot different than Elliott's and to his credit, he really made that song his own. Not an easy thing to do, especially when you have to learn the song a half an hour before you're going to do the vocal. He did a great job."
