Last night's results were the best possible outcome for each of them.
Ruben has a $1 million recording contract and Clay will now have his pick of different offers. Both of them will be successful.
They are good friends, Ruben and Clay, and we should just follow their example. Be happy for the winner, and keep supporting the one we like best by buying their albums. We can do nothing to change last night's results and to keep harping on it makes us look like sore losers.
I enjoy Clay's voice much more than Ruben's, but that is just my opinion. I'll respect those who disagree with me as they should respect me for my preference.
FYI, Clay is signing with Simon.
