So much for predictions that this would be "the year of the teenager" on Fox TV's "American Idol" talent competition.
In fact, two of the finalists -- Taylor Hicks and Mandisa -- were 28 when they auditioned but have since turned 29, a year past the "Idol" age limit.
PinnacleSports.com puts him at a 7-2 favorite to win season five, followed by Mandisa with 11-2 odds.
