I think the drug bust thing is just a bunch of roadies, most roadies have a reputation for drug use (not all, just a lot, I am sure there are professional roadies and I am not disparaging all of them). I don't believe this has anything to do with the main busses of the tour.

In the video Ruben looks really good, better than I have seen him look lately on live TV. I think the man is a natural for film.

The What If video premieres on BET tonight at 9:30 p.m. It looks like they'll have a behind the scenes type of thing, too.

BET website and search for Ruben Studdard

Sorry 2004 is still high up on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart (like 27 or 28, I think). I wonder if Ruben will end up with two singles on this chart at one time.

He was on Live With Regis and Kelly today doing What If. He was great, of course! His CD is double platinum now and he told a great story about a woman attacking him in Philadelphia (beware of Philly girls Ruben!)....she beat up his security while he was singing Flying WIthout Wings and was HANGING on him while he was singing. Kelli said he loved it. Heehee

I was just channeling flipping this morning (yet another sick day trying to get rid of this cold -- honest!), and saw the the Sorry 2004 video first time. Very nice and sweet! I love Ruben as a sex symbol in these videos. :-) He's got the sweetest smile!

terrible cold




I'm serious, I swear! It's been going around the college like you wouldn't believe, and I finally gave in the week before Easter. Didn't even leave my apartment for four days. My voice still isn't back to normal, so I took a day off to get three days of no talking to try to get it back.

My favorite things about Ruben really come through on those videos -- his voice, of course, but he also looks like he's enjoying himself and his singing always seems to come from his heart. I think that's my biggest complaint for this year, that most of them are singing the notes, but not the songs.

Ruben Studdard show solid, soulful

`American Idol' winner's R&B is crowd-pleaser

By Malcolm X Abram

Beacon Journal music writer


Since the show that spawned the overweight lover Ruben Studdard is called American Idol, it would stand to reason that those anointed with the title would strive for mass appeal.

But Studdard, who performed Tuesday night at the Ohio Theatre and was winner of the wildly successful show's second season, hasn't gone the crossover route followed by inaugural winner Kelly Clarkson or runner-up Clay Aiken. Instead, Studdard and his handlers have placed him squarely in the R&B realm, filling his debut Soulful with slick hip-hop-influenced contemporary sounds.

For his first solo tour, ``the velvet teddy bear'' performed an hour-plus set, drawing from his solid debut with a few choice old-school covers thrown in for good measure. Entering to the now standard shouts of ``Roooooben!!'' the singer and his 11-piece band -- including a three-man horn section and three backup vocalists -- kept fans on their feet and moving with the upbeat club cut Can I Get Your Attention that blended seamlessly into Take The Shot and What Is Sexy. Studdard's relaxed, affable demeanor gives him the persona of the favorite cousin or popular kid on the block who everyone wants to succeed.

His incredibly tight band played amped-up arrangements of the album cuts, lending them some much-needed energy and musicality. The band was so powerful that at times it seemed to be doing most of the heavy lifting and threatened to overpower Studdard's husky voice, particularly on the upbeat songs.

But just when it seemed that Studdard's lungs may not be as big as his frame, he'd belt out a slow jam such as his hit single Sorry 2004 and Aretha Franklin's Day Dreaming that would remind everyone why he was the show's winner. Studdard even ventured into dangerous territory for most singers by performing a medley of Luther Vandross tunes that included Never Too Much and So Amazing, acquitting himself well.

If Studdard is the talented boy people want to give an encouraging pat on the back, opening act Kem was the man who forces men to keep an eye on their ladies. Returning to Cleveland after selling out two shows at The Odeon last December, Kem's adult, low-key Quiet Storm-ready R&B and his malleable, clear voice had many women in the room swooning like schoolgirls. Mixing songs about spirituality, faith and love, the former homeless drug abuser filled an hour with songs from his debut, Kemistry, and drew many salacious suggestions for late-night activities from the many adoring women in the audience

Ruben was just wonderful. He had Luther's mama and me in tears with his performance.
