The ''American Idol'' judges loved his rendition of "Takin' It to the Streets" – Randy Jackson said it was not his favorite song from Hicks, but he was trying to comprehend his dance moves onstage. Paula Abdul said that the song was great and loved the energy and dancing. Simon Cowell "loved the song" and said that "that's what it's all about — having fun and being memorable." Cowell also said it was the best performance of the night. Hicks' rendition of "Takin' It to the Streets" would become his first song to chart, peaking at number 69 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, due to moderate sales of digital downloads only. The song was not released as Hicks's single, since "Do I Make You Proud" was to become his first single after he won the ''American Idol'' competition. "Weird Al" Yankovic's 2006 album ''Straight Outta Lynwood'' included a parody of "Do I Make You Proud", called "Do I Creep You Out".
