You got that right! I didn't watch the season with Clay or Reuben so I can't say that I have heard enough of Reuben to say how his voice is.
I looked at the AI CD yesterday in the store. I wanted to get Diana DeGarmo's but didn't see it. Guess I'll have to order that one online. I think all in all that she is better than Carrie at the moment, but I think they can work with Carrie. She doesn't seem to be stuck in a one genre mode.
I got Diana DiGarmo's CD a few days ago and it's really good. You'll like it.
