"Ruben has the ability to move your soul. "

He sweats like a pig.

[Keith in Iowa]

>> He sweats like a pig.

If he did, he'd be dry. Pigs don't sweat. Which is why they roll in mud - to get wet, and the drying process cools them.

[ShadowDancer]

He sweats like a pig.

And sings like the lover most will never have.

On the other hand you have Fivel who can belt it out but looks like Martha Raye but more feminine. I'll take sweaty. It's simply more productive.

Clay went from a dorky guy to superstar in a few months. His version of "BRIDGE" was chilling and electric,and everything else he sang on key and emotional,but relaxed. He will do broadway and CD's and 10 years from now he will still be around. Ruben is sweet,but cannot stay on key on different songs. He is morbidly obese,and loses his breath trying to hold notes. He will do recordings for awhile,but he does not have the talent for longevity. He has a beautiful face and he lights up the world with it. Everyone rooted for him because,he needed this win. We felt like he had the weight of the whole state of Alabama on his shoulders to win,and if he lost he would wither away. We knew Clay could handle this loss,and go on. Good luck to both of them. They are great guys,and I am proud of them.
