haven't read this thread, just wanted to say that I've loved Ruben from day 1. He's the one singer on AI that truly has given me goosebumps. When he sang "Superman" he had me from then on... Go Ruben!!!!

I didn't see this in an earlier post.

Oprah did her show on American Idol and
it was very entertaining. The ten finalist
were also there and sang, "What The World
Needs Now."

Ruben's mom was introduced and Ruben was
asked by Oprah if he were surprised to be
in the bottom two. Ruben, with the class
and dignity that I love, said "no." Of
course, Randy wanted him to "tell the truth,
dawg." Oprah pointed out that Ruben said
he was happy to make it into the top 32 out
of approximately 70,000. Ruben said he was
Blessed to have made it this far.

(Clay's Mom was also introduced)

Oprah interviewed the final three and the
judges along with Ryan. There was a visit
to Paula's house and a showing of how Ryan
does his hair.

Kelly Clarkston was there and sang, "The Trouble
With Love Is."

I'm a Ruben fan all the way and love him just
the way he is.

LadyTex, I already only feel safe over here...

I don't care what anyone says, I loved Ruben tonight! I danced to Signed, Sealed, Delivered, smiled when he sang Smile, and sang along with him to If Ever You're in My Arms Again. I would buy his album (and Kim's) in a heartbeat!

(I also think I'm the only one who didn't like Cay's Unchained Melody...I had to change the channel.)

I'm here and trying to get through on two phone lines. I missed Ruben's smile song, and I missed Clay's unchained melody. Oh well, it doesn't matter, I already know who I'm voting for.

I wanted to cut my own ear off when he sang Vincent...(just kidding!) That's a beautiful, simple melody that doesn't need the power voice. It just wasn't a good song for Clay's strengths, and I don't think he has the range to give that song the simplicity it needs.

Well, must go start hitting redial. Cell phone for Kim, landline for Ruben.

I voted tonight for the first time ever and gave my vote to Ruben! He really has been the most consistent out of all. Plus I heard them talking on the entertainment shows that they all think Clay will win. After tonight's performance it may be Kimberly and Ruben in the final two! Too bad because I thought Clay's last song was really good but his other two were awful. Go Ruben!

Getting none in for Ruben, too many getting through for Kim. :-(

I'll be voting for Kim tonight, but if she goes this week, I'll be joining you Ruben fans next week. I'd really like to see a Kim-Ruben final and see them sing together on each other's albums.

I can't get anything but busy signal

I thought this was the Ruben thread, come here to say that he looked physically strong today and just see Clay. Clay, Clay. What about the big guy?

Nathalia - I don't know what entertainment programs you were watching because Entertainment Tonight did an entire segment on Ruben and where Ruben's from - nothing on Kim or Clay...

Lots of busy signals for Ruben last night. Hubby was on the first line, son was on second line. Daughter used her cell phone, and I used mine to call. I love the velvet teddy bear. :-)

Good Luck Ruben!!!!!!!!

LOL, Prisoner.

It was just a matter of time. Anyway, hang in there Ruben fans. Remember, no matter what happens tonight...we all know Ruben is a star.
