LisaPles 740 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 05-10-06, 11:37 AM (EST) "Any Ruben Fans Out There? " Ruben is one of the few American Idol contestants ever whose voice gave me goosebumps. I would tape the show and rewind his performances to watch them over again because his voice sounded so good! I am actually surprised that we haven't heard anything about him musically. Does anyone know where Ruben is and what he's up to these days? I'm hoping for some positive comments here!   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

toddE 1433 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 05-10-06, 12:22 PM (EST) 5. "Exhibit #1 why Taylor can not win" I liked Ruben. He was sooo popular on AI. Everyone loved him, called him the Velvet Teddy Bear. Yet, post AI, no one cared. He has been the least successful Idol so far. He just isn't easily marketable. No reflection on Ruben's talent. He just doesn't have an audience. Taylor is exactly the same. I see his strong fan base on the show, and think "no one will buy his records." He isn't very marketable, and the public is fickle.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Glow 14353 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-10-06, 12:31 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Exhibit #1 why Taylor can not win" This is where I fall. I loved him on the show. I was so sure he would do a Barry White-ish type album and sales would skyrocket. I forgot about him when the show was over. Well, I didn't forget about him but didn't care all that much. I picked up his album a good while after it came out (used) and did not like it. He went all gospel and whatnot. He really should have gone the Barry White route.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

geekboy 1778 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 05-10-06, 12:49 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Exhibit #1 why Taylor can not win" I disagree with you on this note. I don't believe it is a case of people not caring...i think its a case of the record execs and producers getting their hands on the winner...and them "molding" them into what THEY think the public wants and totally disregarding the route they took to get into the winner's circle. This happened w/ Ruben, this happened with Fantasia. The execs took them way too far into the 'hip R&B' genre which is NOT what the public voted for. Kelley's success is the example. Her first CD was very much what the public expected. Same with Clay - he went and made what the public anticipated. Carrie Underwood - same idea. And to a degree, Bo's CD is fringing upon what the fans expected and so he did quite well. I have high hopes for Taylor. I think he could surprise everyone if they let him make a Taylor Hicks CD. geekboy   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

His CD was absolutely nothing like I expected it was going to be. I still liked it but was very surprised. Siggy thanks to Syren!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Yes, I also thought he would do an album in that style or a Barry White kind of thing.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

PagongRatEater 12973 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-10-06, 01:40 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Any Ruben Fans Out There? " LAST EDITED ON 05-10-06 AT 01:40 PM (EST) Always loved Ruben and I actually voted for him. A lot. I knew that he would never be singing songs that were my cup of tea, but I soooo admired his singing skill. To my mind, he is still probably the best pure singer that has ever been on the show. Interestingly, it seems that he is going the same route as Clay now and has a gospel album coming out. If you are a fan of Ruben you should check out his website www.rubenstuddard.com and you can preview his new song, as well as see the much thinner Ruben (click on bio to compare how the new photo compares to AI Ruben. Impressive). Heck, I might even buy his gospel album. But, the four of us had a great time.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
