Fabnsab | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 02:38 pm     AOL's poll has Ruben with 55% and Clay with 45%. It has been that way for a while now. As much as I want Clay to win tonight, by the looks of amazons sales, he is already the people's idol! Tonight is going to boil down to who's fans were more diligent with the phone. I haven't been this into a voting since Bush-Gore! |
Realfan | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 03:15 pm     DJ, I'd love your writeup. Please e-mail it to me, too! I only got in ONE vote for Clay, the line was busy for a solid hour. Augh! I think that's a great sign. I assume if someone votes more than 100 times, the excess calls are discounted? So three people getting in 600+ calls for Ruben can count as no more than 300. Not that I'm worried. I feel it in my bones, it's Clay all the Way! Where should we post from here on out as we follow Clay's career? |
Meli456 | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 03:44 pm     From about 8:55 till 9:15, the dial tones in my area of Los Angeles were delayed. You know, picked up the phone and had to wait 10-15 seconds just to get a dialtone!! The only other time I remember that happening was after an earthquake. Anyhow, I think I got in 3 votes for Clay in the first hour and then stopped counting (actually the phone was bugging my hubby so I was dialing under a pillow). Lines were really busy up until 11:45, when I went to bed. |
Cathie | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 05:01 pm     I tried for three hours and never got anything but a busy signal. |
Egbok | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 06:29 pm     I reported this last night but it sure is worth repeating because I love to brag - LOL! Last night I got 99 calls in for Clay and my dh got a few more in with his cell phone!! 87 of my calls were placed from 9:01 to 9:22 with "redial", then after that it was busy but I was able to get 12 more calls in before I went to bed. Also let me tell you that my co-worker was at a concert (REO Speedwagon & Journey) and she wasn't watching AI last night (obviously) but she started dialing in on her cell phone after 9pm and got 3 votes called in - Woo Hoo!! |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 06:54 pm     Well guys, we did our best. Clay will still go on to have a wonderful career. I'm a little down right now. Good news is that I will get my life back. |
Tishala | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 06:57 pm     Congrats to Clay and all his fans. You have demonstrated good will throughout and Clay is lucky to have a group as dedicated as you are! Best wishes to him in the future. |
Nanarobin | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:02 pm     Herm and other Claymates....I am so disappointed. We did out best to support OUR BEST GUY...what a shame we had to lose. Trust me, Robin ain't shaking no tail feathers...I have already turned on the Country Music Awards after seeing the first hours here...and then reading the results here. Ok...where is that Oliver Stone guy...I'm gonna get him!!! tee-hee Later guys...thanks for posting. I am officially pissed off for the night now! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:04 pm     Clay had AWESOME fans and they will have much rejoicing to do throughout his career. |
Prisonerno6 | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:08 pm     I want to add my voice of congratulations to the Clay fans. Your support of Clay is almost overwhelming, and that's all he needs to go far. He didn't lose tonight, he just didn't win the title. |
Ketchuplover | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:09 pm     I wanted Clay to win. He didn't. Will I get over it? No,no I won't. Heads will roll. Heads will roll. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:12 pm     i just am not an R&B person, i guess. i would never buy a ruben cd, because all his songs have the same plodding, easy-listening stuff that irritates me. nothing against ruben the man, because i think he is a love-- and a very nice and humble person. if he looked like ruben and sang like clay, i would have been glad he won. i mean, i am glad for him. i just won't be lined up to buy his music. for me, all R&B bores the hell out of me! i can't wait for clay's first full-length CD to come out. he could sing the oscar mayer song and i'd be thrilled! |
Crossfire | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:16 pm     Hey guys, don't sweat it too much. A couple of months ago, Clay was a nobody doing nobody things. Today, Clay is an entertainer doing entertaining things. He is not a loser. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:17 pm     i'll take a rollin' head with extra ketchup. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:23 pm     cross, i know he's not a loser. i just like his music so much better! i just enjoy some music and i don't enjoy other music. when i was a kid, my friend's parents used to drag us to the san francisco opera. we even went to opening night once and sat near ronald reagan when he was governor. (didn't like him, either, but i knew it was a pretty special occasion!) anyway, the opera bored me to tears. i was maybe 13 at the time. years later, i lived in new york and people used to donate tickets to medical students who couldn't afford to do anything otherwise. and my boyfriend got two tickets to an opera. and we went into manhattan, all dressed up and could barely stand it until the intermission. i mean i was yawning my head off and my boyfriend actually started to snore. we left at the first moment there was a break. to this day, i cannot sit through an opera. i can listen to andrea bocelli or leontyne price sing a solo on a cd, but a full opera. ick!! the sad part is, i don't even like R&B as much as i like opera! |
Essence | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:23 pm     Exactly Crossfire. Congratulations and good luck to Clay (and all the Claymates ). I know Clay doesn't need good luck wishes because he will be just fine, but I thought I'd send best wishes his way. |
Muse | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:24 pm     Eh...the person I want to win never wins these shows. I'm disappointed, mainly because I was unable to get through to vote last night even once. My family and I called for three hours straight on three phone lines. Not one vote. I really wish they had opened enough phone lines for both contestants. Would the results have been the same? I dunno. But I would have at least felt I got a say in what happened. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that it sounds like Clay is looking to record at least one album. I would have been much more disappointed if he went back to college without putting out a CD I could buy. I'm selfish like that. And I must say that I was impressed with how very gracious Clay was...classy. Thanks for the kind words, Ruben fans! Ruben may not be my cup of tea, but he seems like a sweetheart and I'm sure he'll do very well in the music biz. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:24 pm     I really had no idea I was so involved in Clay winning. I've been crying since the show ended. Its not that I don't like Ruben. I do. But Clay made my heart melt. Everytime he sang I got gooesebumps. I will definitely buy his CD as soon as it comes out. I'm just heartbroken right now. |
Emt911 | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:26 pm     When I watch in california, I hope the show has a different ending. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:27 pm     Emt, if it does, will you tape it and send it to me? |
Emt911 | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:30 pm     Sniff, yep. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:35 pm     Thanks  |

Cjr | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 07:36 pm     I have been waiting all day to watch the show and see Clay win. Then, I am watching Fox News and they announce the winner with no warning of any kind. I hate when stations do that to us West Coasters. Now I don't want to watch and see Ruben win. I am so upset. |
