It is madness here in Birmingham. People are dancing and screaming in the streets...

I am soooooo proud of Ruben. He was the best and he deserved to win...


GO RUBEN

*Dancing around the house* Ruben's the American Idol, Ruben's the American Idol, Ruben's the American Idol!!!!!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy, Ruuuuuuuubennnnnn!!!!! :D :D :D

Hubby and I were at his frat's house and we ended up watching the show b/c the wife is an AI and Ruben fan like me. It was so annoying having to watch the whole thing. I really wanted to watch Law and Order and then switch over to AI at like 9:45 to see who won so that I wouldn't have to watch the whole thing.

But when Ruben was announced the winner, me and the wife jumped up and screamed like crazy!!! I still can't believe that Ruben's the new American Idol!!!! I'm buying his single as soon as it hits the store!!!!!

GO RUBEN!!!!!! :D :D

lol@CT4 ok on the "Rueben fans, ya happy now?" lol!


Both of them are great singers, and personally I'm glad it's over, cause this was the most racially charged American Idol ever.

I was switching back and forth. They had on THREE L&O's tonight including the 300th episode!

But RUUUUUBEN winning made it worth it!!

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was doing the same thing. Three back to back L&Os! I was glad when AI ended so I could watch the third one uninterrupted. :D

*way off the subject but...*
Is the time clock on this board 20 minutes fast or is it my computer? I first noticed it when I came on to post about Ruben winning at 8:55pm Central time and the show wasn't even off yet. But Cream had already posted the results and it was timestamped at 9:10 - LOL.

Release Date for Ruben's CD Single
 

Just got the e-mail from Amazon.com and Ruben's single Flying Without Wings and Superstar will be released on June 3. You can pre-order now at the website!! :D

**singing while doing the tootsie roll***

GO RUBEN! IT'S YA BIRF'DAY!

It's still crazy here in Birmingham. People are going to be celebrating all through out the night.

I just wanted to say that both Ruben and Clay have been working on their album with the legendary Clive Davis. Both their albums will be released in the same week. So, for all the Ruben and Clay fans, music is on the way...

By the way, Ruben already has a title for his album. It's going to be called "Ruben Studdard: The Musical Expreience".


GO RUBEN!!!

It has been off for a few months now. Hopefully, John can fix it.

So does it make one lick of difference who won?

It's all for the title of American Idol. Thats the purpose...to see who America wants as their musical "Idol".

girllllllll, yeah! My voting wasn't in vain and that text message must have gone through!

Did anyone see the SPECIAL shirt with the SPECIAL 205 numbers? ;) I was on the phone with chapter members and we were even MORE excited! :D

Did anyone catch Clay's comment? He said something (supposedly joking) that he was going to "beat Ruben for taking his title". I didn't quote him correctly, but did anyone hear this?
:confused: I was kind of :mad:.

RRRRRUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
I AM SOOOOOOOO HAPPY THAT RUBEN WON. IT WAS REALLY REALLY CLOSE, BUT I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD BIG VELVET WON!!!


Yop, I caught it, I caught it what Clay said about "his title". Simon said on the news this morning that Ruben was his favorite!!!.............LOLOL:p

lol that's funny cause on Fox yesterday he said that Clay should win because his last performance sealed it.
