If Ruben and Clay are putting Cd's out on the same date, that means Clay has already signed on with the AI people. Otherwise he would have to wait 120 days before he could start recording his own CD. AI has a delayed non compete clause for stars that don't sign on with AI. At least that was the story last year.

I wonder if the newsies will be able to find out the difference in the $$$ for the two contracts. I hope Clay gets a HUGE contract, dollar-wise.

[justshe]

a wide demographic (no pun on middle-aged ladies intended).


VERY clever!

"Actually I figured all the white rednecks from around the world would have been dialing in mass to make sure the black guy wouldn't win. Good for Reuben. "

Kat, the above was actually Jern's comment ;)

[JustPiper]

The factor of alcohol and drug abuse are also a factor here with Barry White and Luther and his seesaw, if he did not have his stomach stapled, it was obvious from the way he looked he has been ill for some time. Barry White also used to be a wife abuser, God doesn't like ugly!

[JustPiper]

And I'm betting (and hoping) that Simon's going to personally sew the world's most annoying Atkins dietician to Ruben's thigh for the next six months. Lord knows Ruben can afford it now.

Simon's comments turned Clay from Geek to living doll and he told him that on Tuesday's show ;)

[JustPiper]

Afraid they might offend blacks if another white won?

But what has been proven here tonight sadly, is that Ruben being black and winning has offended just as many whites.

[JustPiper]

Afraid they might offend blacks if another white won?

Wrap your mind around this one:

Justin is a Southerner's biggest nightmare...a Zebra! -gasp- Yeppers Black Dad, White Mom, but most here favored Kelly the white girl right?

[JustPiper]

And then, there'd be the getting crushed part.

Hey! Ryan liked by part of the Ruben (pun intended) Sandwich with Roo's brother!

[JustPiper]

And her new song wow! Miss Independent. I told my daughter sounded like Christina Ag wish she had done it and then I found out last night she actually wrote it! LMAO!

[JustPiper]

Randy Jackson.

I know you don't think it is the same Randy as AI's Randy.

[JustPiper]

Then they need to get the demographics on which city had the highest volume of calls and the conspiracy theories can go poof!

[JustPiper]

LMAO! Now this is good, thanx!!!

[JustPiper]

I bet Fox gave Ruben's mom a text messaging phone. Then 'they' should be arrested, dontchya think? ;)

[JustPiper]

With Clay's new found fame, I believe a lot of people are just jealous that Clay will have more women throwing themselves at him while those who say he's gay only have their hands to use for sexual relief.

Bump for the Best Burn on this thread!" LOL!

[JustPiper]

I was for Clay until a few weeks ago, when although he has an extraordinary voice, he seemed to become mundane and ordinary. I thought he was Broadway before Simon said it. I still adore Clay but unless he IS a Neil Sedaka or Paul Anka, in today's music where is he going to go?

He's not boyband, he is much better than that. But how many Manilows are there? How many where there in Barry's time? I thought Harry Connick was amazing but look at the category he's stuck in....Will & Grace.

Honestly, Clay fans, you keep saying he has the lasting power etc over Ruben, but please tell me where and how long do you realistically expect it to last? Sam Harris was amazing! He was the first Motown artist that was white, he almost killed himself over being 'big' then nothing. Now if he didn't find success on Broadway he would be dead.

Sorry, I've kept this to myself because I hate all this bickering, but truly in the way music has changed so dramatically where will Clay be?

[JustPiper]

."I hit the abuse button,2nd time since on this forum,2 years.

Ok now did Time personally attack you or swear or threaten you? I n five years I've hit it once for all the above at once.

[JustPiper]

he got behinder

Then tell me how did the Ruben fans manage to get through in Florida, via Janet Reno?

[JustPiper]

,"Racism is okay as long as it's towards someone in the public eye?

I took that as a rhetorical question on timesinks post.

[JustPiper]

Clay fans freeped

And fans bragged how to Freep more than one vote for Clay ;)
