American Idol's Top 5 eighth-season finalists will be singing songs that were made famous by members of the original Rat Pack that included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. during Tuesday night's performance show.
Hicks released The Distance in February. The album was produced by Simon Climie -- who has worked previously with Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and Faith Hill -- and was released under Hicks' own Modern Whomp Records label. Hicks "mutually agreed to part ways" with Arista records, the label that signed him to a recording contract after he won Idol in 2006, in early 2008.
Last summer, Hicks also made his Broadway debut in Grease, playing the role of Teen Angel. He reprised the role when the musical began a national tour in December.
