I was pissed that Clay did not get kicked off, but RUUUUUUUUUBEN is still alive and that's ALL that matters to me.

I also can't believe that Clay had the nerve to shed a tear. Next week, voting for me will start at 8:55 PM.

Why when Clay has just as consistent as Rueben?

I just don't like Clay. He's funny looking and something about him just gets to me. Plus, I think overall K Lo improved more over the season than Clay. I know everyone says Ruben hasn't changed up his style, I agree. But, he's been my fave since the beginning. K Lo only began to really grow on me when she reached the finals. Clay has done NOTHING for me ALL season.

In my opinion Clay has the most pure voice. I just love hearing him sing. Can't wait for next week.

She handled it very well.

I think I'll have to cast my FIRST vote next week. Just because!

I need a reminder, though. I'm a AI neo of sorts.

Actually Clay and K. Lo really are very close (Ruben as well). I read somewhere that the three of them have become good friends since the competition started. K. Lo and Clay are even thinking of rooming together in L.A. after this thing is all over. If I could remember where I read it I would post a link, but alas, memory fails, lol.

I think that they all could sing really well. I am disappointed that K-Lo did not make it but I am looking forward to seeing Ruben win it all.

Next week will be AI overkill of which I will not watch at all. I guess I can get tons done around the house for those 3 hours of my life.

<--------- getting ready for American Juniors.

I want to go on record that my favorite 2 were K Lo and Clay. Ruben has no range. People like him because he is cuddly, Black, heterosexual, male, smily, deep voice that stayed the same THROUGHOUT the entire competition.

I agree with Diva_01. I love me some Ruben too, and I am glad he is where he is, shoot I hope Simon was right when he told Fox that he felt Ruben would be the next AI.

I completely agree. American Idol has become The Ruben Show for weeks now, and I can't understand why! The velvet teddy bear persona seems to be something thrust upon him--he shows no signs of personality otherwise. Has anyone ever seen him put 2 complete sentences together? IMO, Ruben should have been gone weeks ago, before Trenyce and before Rickey. He's a good singer, but he has not rightfully earned all of the attention on the show. (and I've seen him seem to forget the words to songs too)

Now that K Lo is gone, all my votes will be going to Clay

And because he can sing, perhaps? I think he needs some polishing, but there's no denying that the man has talent. I definitely think Kimberly should have taken it all, but I also think that Ruben will go on to do big things. Dang, he's not Josh.

He can sing, but he is NOT ALL THAT!!! I think I have said that like at least 3 times over the course of this competition. His voice lacks that UMPH which KIMBERLY had.

No sense crying over spilled milk, Kimberly had a helluva run. Now she can go ahead and do whatever she wants and not be in the spotlight so much. Maybe she can take Lyn's place next season on GIRLFRIENDS.

I agree that he's NOT ALL THAT, but I think he has the potential to be. I'm just happy that he's not the worst. Again, Kimberly was a much better entertainer with a much better range, but alas, she's gone. So, Ruben it is for me. Now if it was Josh or _____ (I can't remember the girl's name, but the one everbody calls goat girl), I wouldn't vote for anybody. But at least I understand how Ruben made it this far and I don't feel like I'm choosing between the lesser of two evils.

*sidebar* Is Lyn really leaving Girlfriends next season?

I can't believe that K Lo was told to kick rocks either!!
Hmm...reminds me of Tamyra from last year...I smell fraud!!

However...Ruben will be getting my vote. I do think he has talent but I would also have to agree with CT4. But for real, isn't that what television is about anyway? Finding some aspect of the show to get people fired up so they watch week after week?

And honestly I can't see either Ruben or Clay being the "ideal" American Idol. When all this is over with, it's not necessarily going to be about talent. It's going to be about marketability and how well those CD's are going to sell when it drops. I would rather see Clay on Broadway....and I would rather see Ruben deal with another label other than Simon's.

Just another perspective I had...now back to being pissed about K Lo.
