I've been a big Clay supporter (more so as the show progressed), but I also think that Ruben is a great guy and I really enjoy his performances. It's going to be hard watching either of them lose, but they both are young guys with lots of ability and talent and they both have great futures ahead of them, regardless of the outcome.

Thanks Lady, I'm more than a bit sore and I have a goose egg like you wouldn't believe where my cheekbone hit the pavement, but nothing broken, thanks to 40+ years of milk drinking. :-)

Jimmer, I agree, no matter who wins next week, it will be hard to see the other not win. I won't say lose, because I have a hard time thinking of any of the top three as losers -- I think they all came out of AI winners.

Love ya RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBEN!

I really like the way you put it, Prisoner, by saying "I won't say lose, because I have a hard time thinking of any of the top three as losers -- I think they all came out of AI winners." I definitely agree! :)

And I am glad you are okay after the fall. Ouch!

I agree too. Prisoner has a much better way of phrasing it. "Lose" is not a good way to describe it. And certainly, both Clay and Ruben will be back on next year's show and both will be thought of as winners. There ... I feel better now. I should have checked out the Ruben Fan Club earlier!

Good luck to Rueben and his fans. I was a Kim supporter and I am moving to Clay but I love Rueben. Here is something that you might like, I have never once in my life voted for the winner of anything. Not in any election or game. I can't vote because I am Canadian but the odds of me backing a winner are very slim.

I'm just stopping in to wish the best to Ruben and all of his supporters. Clay's my favorite, but I think both are worthy of the title American Idol. Ruben's momma did a wonderful job raising him. His humility and joy shine through with each performance.

You know, Mak1 helped me put a finger on a thought I've been on the brink of all day. Isn't it just WAY nice to see two really NICE people who are really talented and like each other and are genuinely kind and caring succeeding this well. I really believe that when Clay said last night that if he went it was OK because his two best friends would be the top two, he meant it. I really believe Ruben meant it when he said he just had to give God the praise for bringing him this far. I loved when Ruben was hugging about 14 little girls at the same time. I loved it when Clay was visiting with his special education students. It suddenly dawned on me that the reason I'm enjoying this whole final so much is that these two guys are BOTH the kind of people I'd just love to cook a big meal for or hang out and watch a good movie with. Both of them are the kind of people I am GLAD to see win something. I guess after being disappointed on a LOT of reality shows because being a really good person doesn't mean you win, this gives me a sense of renewal, a sense of just being GLAD these guys exist on this planet.

I'm a Clay fan, my sister LOVES Ruben and we watch the show together on the phone....and last night we both agreed....either one of these guys wins and we'll BOTH be happy. I'd wish them both the world on a silver platter.

Ruben's high school football coach calls him The Big Stud. I love it!

Where is all this love coming from?

Nice posts Mak1 and Bcandscott. We don't mind these kind of posts over here. With words like that you're always welcome.


(Prisonerno6, you be careful out there! )

Edited to say, I saw that too "Big Stud".

Everyone knows that I'm a big Clay fan, but I would be happy with either one winning, simply because, as Prisoner said, there are no losers - they've all accomplished the same thing, it's just a title after all!!!

Good luck on Tuesday Ruben!

Hi Ruben fans!

Though I've been a Claymate since day one, I love Ruben (and Kim), too. Ruben truly is a velvet teddy bear with an engaging, soothing voice.

As soon as Ruben has his first CD, I'll be in line with you all to buy it to enjoy over and over. Ruben seems like a great guy and no matter who wins next week, they're both winners in talent and in life. Good luck to Ruben! He'll shine like the North star and we'll be seeing him and Clay for a long time.

" And now that I look at it again,aren't her hands kind of in an odd place?"

Not to diss any photographers, but sometimes what they think looks "better" doesn't look "natural". I can remember waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I got my senior picturs done. One with me and my Shih-Tzu was wonderful, but the photographer made me redo it again because the way my hand laid wasn't "best". When we compared the 2 pictures and I never pointed out how my fingers were open on the first one EVERYBODY asked replied that the first one was the best picture.

Best of luck to Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuben and all of the wonderful Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-crew.

People just need to know where to find things. It is cheaper on tower though. Don't know where shipping is cheaper. I will wait until they have it in the soter or there are other things I want, but I am *cheap*

For happy news, it looks like Ruben's CD sells weel in Tower, I think it is #11. This is a huge site with the best prices.

They had CLay sing Josh's solo in God Bless the USA? That means he got to go first! That means he sang more than Ruben! It's fixed, I tell you, fixed! The judges obviously want Clay to win so they're sandbagging Ruben! I bet they rig the vote next!
