Ruben recently released a CD. I still think he could be a major star if he had the right songs, producers, marketing, etc.

I think American Idol should put out a cd of Idol's greatest Motown hits. I would buy that. On Ruben, I bought his first CD. He gets airplay here and I hear him in the supermarket music.

Rvon - completely agree about the Clive thing. Didn't Kelly sue to get out of her contract after her first CD so she could make the kind of music she wanted. I think that (TPTB interference) is what happened to Taylor too. Does anyone else here have his first CD that has about 6 - 7 songs? It's GREAT!!

yeah true Rvon, but hasn't he been out of Idol long enough to sing what he wants by now??? Not the crap they make him release? And btw I love Taylor, and though I enjoy his voice on his CD, I don't really love any one song from it sadly. I'm hoping he'll have more of his stuff on his next one, and maybe a couple classics (at least Georgia), and some more R & B not middle of the road stuff.

Lol Grooch, The powers that be. Her eyes were pretty good too and she always had great skin.

Sadly, not winning allows them to release the kind of CD they want. If I recall correctly, Chris D. said he was glad he didn't win b/c he wouldn't have been able to put out the same CD that he did.

I liked Bette's little black swirly leather skirt. And looks like she's working out for Vegas. And heck, only way to afford to see her is to win when you get there lolol And you would think TPTB would learn from Kelly, and her Grammy's, about how they MUST let these folks choose better songs not force the pablum they love, on them AND us.

Also, I think Ruben had been involved in a huge lawsuit that he had filed against his manager. Accused the manager of bilking lots of money from him. Maybe he just had too many things going on in his personal life to really concentrate of singing. Hopefully, everything will settle down and we will hear more from Ruben.

Taylor is wearing a silver shiny shirt with black jeans. What's odd about it? Looks nice to me.

Hey all - hope everyone is having fun! Just catching up here - very little spotlighting on the top 10 tonight - was the talent just that bad? Love seeing the past winners but what happened to the great finales of yesteryear? They are not doing much to promote their tour performers.

Ugh! Beatles! I was forced fed them since I was a kid. We even had to analyze their lyrics in 7th grade english class as poetry. Carrie Underwood's song, she just sang, was one of them. I am ready to change the channel now.

Spin I think they now have the fanbase that their shows sell out, and this bunch in smaller doses is likely to do more to help promote that than hearing a lot of them IMHO hehhehe
