You know what, that just makes me SO mad; they continue to put forth the statement that Clay made that mistake, when, in fact, the AI people threw HIM the curve ball.

The more times I read that statement, the more times I wonder how much other stuff AI has "fudged."

Explain. Actually, I couldn't tell that he forgot the words because I wasn't that familiar with the song.

I would imagine a lot more of this is put on then we would like to think. The obvious pushing of Ruben is hard to miss. Simon and Randy both hit the morning talk shows hard last week and every time they were asked who should win they said Ruben. I just don't think the producers and judges of the show should be saying who they think should win. After reading Simons comments in this article it makes me even less likely to watch any future Idol shows. Having said that I will be wearing my fingers to the bone Tuesday night voting for Clay as often as possible.
