In late March we reported that American Idol finalist Taylor Hicks was being encouraged to dye his trademark grey hair a bit darker. Many believed the prematurely grey crooner would have a better chance at becoming the next American Idol with a younger look.

| Taylor Hicks Will Keep Look |
His fans screamed "no!"
And now In Touch Weekly has learned that he will listen to his fans wishes. The weekly magazine will report in this week's edition (Friday release) that Idol’s silver fox will not dye his hair and will keep his traditional look.

The report details that fans were shocked when word spread that Taylor, 29, was considering doing a deal with a hair-color company like Clairol if they offered him a lot of money to dye his locks.
Fans begged him to turn down the cash on tvsquad.com’s Idol message board.
“I love his sexy gray hair,” said Idol-watcher Deborah. “Keep the gray — it’s who you are,” DJ Johnson pleaded. In the end, Taylor decided to keep it. “They are not dyeing my hair — no way!”

The National Ledger has learned that Taylor has told In Touch that " “They are not dyeing my hair — no way!” He will stick to his “Clooney-esque” look.
So - rest easy Taylor fans - he's keeping his trademark, and he's likely still in the top three.
American Idol will air on Tuesday and Wednesday on Fox.
