parachutes 58 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 12-20-07, 05:57 PM (EST) "Ruben Studdard" So sad did you hear Ruben Studdard has been dropped from his label. I liked him a lot too but apparently he hasn't been doing so well with making an album.   Top

I wish him the best, as I'm sure many of us do. I just don't understand why so many people put a person in that position, then don't carry him/her where they need to go to continue in that fame. But it just goes to show you that the greatest majority of those voting are the under 16 group who are NOT going to be spending the money on CD's or concert tickets. I sure hope Taylor and/or Jordan don't end up in the same boat.   Top

"RE: Ruben Studdard" I'm sad to hear it, but someone had to be the first idol dropped by a label. He had a number of albums and I dunno that just because you win American Idol you should get a contract for life when no one else in the music industry gets that. After all the history of pop music is littered with one hit wonders or those that made a couple of albums and then got dropped. Sure a few groups break up and other things like that happen, but the one or two decent selling albums and out seems to be the more common path than having a contract for decades like a few singers and groups have been able to do. If he's up for it I'm sure he can get picked up by another label and keep going, but he may have made all the music he is good for.   Top

"RE: Ruben Studdard" I guess those are some of the harsh realities of the business, but I think it would be especially difficult to go from top of the world to getting dropped!(Yes I was one of those who actually thought that the top three in AI had it made! Not the best thinking ) ringing in the new year with Smokey's mom   Top

jbug 17146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-14-08, 04:50 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Ruben Studdard" I probably haven't heard him since he was on AI. I don't buy cd's or whatever - unless I find some good oldies rock-n-roll. And you can tell what kind of music I like - when I do turn on the radio. Sliced Strait From the Heart   Top

agman 11166 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 01-15-08, 07:26 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Ruben Studdard" I always liked Ruben when he was on AI, but it just seemed like he never got any momentum going after that! I vaguely remember 1 or 2 songs, but that was about it.(I'm sure there were more, I just don't recall them) I'm sorry to hear this but I think it would be extremely tough to make it in this business. I think Snidget probably put it best in her post. A snidget original   Top

"RE: Ruben Studdard" Ruben was from the 1st year I watched American Idol and I liked him on the show but none of his CDs seemed very good to me. Too bad he did not make it. He is a nice guy and I hope that he does well in whatever he decides to do now.   Top
