posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Given that the judges couldn't hear those wrong notes and shouting, perhaps just wishful thinking.

This is not just wishful thinking. Somehow the judges have annointed him "he who shall not be criticized", but he was in the bottom two once before, so maybe the public does have a clue. While Kim and Clay each had one off performance and two great ones, Ruben was mediocore across the board. Hey judges, he sings OFF KEY. How can you not notice that? And yes, he gets drowned out by his background voices - that is not a "big" voice.The seeds have been so firmly planted, though, I'm not sure the inevitable can be overcome. I won't be a bit surprised if Kim goes, but I won't call it a sure thing. Ruben might be vulnerable, and I'd love to see it happen.

There's also one poster claiming to be a friend of Clay's
that says he was asked just before the show to add an extra chorus to his song to fill in some time, thus the lyrics flub. They seem to think it's credible, but that is the Clay fans board, so I'd take it with a grain of salt. One of Clay's teachers talks with him after every performance. She called in to the local radio station today and said that Clay told her that he had been asked to stretch the song. Yes, it's hearsay, but it's someone who talked to Clay. And this isn't the first time she's called in to the radio station, so it's been confirmed that she is indeed who she says she is and does have regular contact with him.

He needs to go. He will never survive a concert. He sings terribly. He use to be okay, but I tell you, he is getting worse every week. I don't know what Randy keeps hearing. I truely have to wonder if he is bragging about Ruben just because He is black. I know, a terrible thought, but it is all I can come up with for the constant saying of how good Ruben is, when he just isn't. Paula just tries to be nice to everybody even when telling them they were not so good. Simon, wonder if he is afraid, yes afraid, to state the truth because of a possible bigotry card. Ruben is off key alot, drowned constantly by vocals, and can't get through three songs in a hour, how will he do a concert, album, anything like that. He needs to go for his health.

16. "RE: AmIdol - 10th to go " |
Based on teh past couple weeks, i think Kim and Clay have picked up their game, and suprisingly Reuben has slipped.I think last night was his weakest night ever. He just seemed tired, and not giving it his all, whereas Kim was going for it, and Clay picked himself up after that dreadful rendition of Vincent. Thinking back over the season, Reuben has been pretty much a straight line in terms of his performances. Kim and Clay have definately improved. If people were actually watching, and thinking it through, i think Reuben would go tonight. geekboy

The first song Clay drew should not have been in the draw for a male singer. It was a love song to a man, Vincent. Nevertheless Clay was head and shoulders above the other two and Ruben slipped badly.
Why is Ruben allowed such heavy back-up singers. This type of contest should feature one voice only to be fair to every contestant. Ruben has a group for almost every song and last night was almost a choral effort.

18. "Probably Kim" |
It's too bad, I think she is really likeable. Ruben sucks, but the judges just drool over him, YUCK! I think Kim has a problem with starting her songs, she finishes strong, but she starts so weak.I was telling DH last night, I don't see any of these 3 as a "pop star" type. If there was a different type of american idol show- here's how it would go down: Your American Gospel Idol- Kimberly Locke!
Your American R&B Idol- Ruben Studdard!
Your American Broadway Idol- Clay Aiken! Not that they are bad singers, but I don't see any of them as the same type of marketable pop performer as Kelly Clarksen.

25. "RE: Clay" |
I strongly disagree with you. Yes, clay had his worst performance of the season with 'Vincent', but that song is dreadful, dreary, and quite hard to make into an impressive performance. It shouldn't have been in the mix.But, more importantly, Clay had two other amazing performances. Reuben, on the other hand, had his weakest week yet. He looked bored, tired, and didn't put much of anything into any of the songs he performed. I wasn't impressed by any of his 3 songs. I think if we're being honest, Reuben deserves it more than either Clay or Kim. geekboy.

39. "Clay" |
Hi All -- new to AI boards, old hat at SB.Personally, I think Clay looks like the love child of K.D. Lang and Martin Short. He's silly looking and has the voice of a theater hack. Maybe he should record songs for Disney movies? Then we wouldn't have to look at him, anyway. All of his performances last night were dreadful. I especially cringed during "unchained melody" -- talk about a butcher job! As for Ruben, I agree he is overhyped by the judges, and his voice, quite frankly, is sounding hoarse. He was fairly shouting his third song last night, but I think he will stay for the finals. Finally, Kim Locke showed realy poise, control, and professionalism last night. She blows me away. Although she had an off night last week (hey, she was sick, so give her a break) she was in good form last night. I enjoy her voice and hope that she makes it to the finals. ciao

Hi, scribe. Nice to see you here.I agree. Clay is my pic for the winner, and I adore him thoroughly, however, I have to admit that you are spot on. Your assesment of Ruben is also accurate. I would have preferred to see Kim and Clay in the finals, and I was really torn on who I wanted to win. I could see myself buying Kimberely's cd, but Clay's? I haven't been so sure lately. Probably, but truthfully, it would be mostly for the good feelings I've prescribed him after seeing his spectacular personality the last few months.

From bouncing around the AI boards, I noted that the 'Joshaholics' are voting as a group for Clay tonight. Wonder how that will affect the endgame, and how much a good night for Kim borrows from Ruben's pool?
