<"Ruben won because he is BLACK. The white person won last time -- this is OH SO TYPICAL!!!!!!!!!"

You're response is OH SO TYPICAL! I figured if Ruben won people would say it's just because he's black (even though Fox claims the vote difference was only 1,300 out of 24 million cast). I wanted Clay to win because the judges were soo biased in favor of Ruben, but I didn't think he was that much better than Ruben. It was a tossup and Ruben got lucky. I'm sure Clay will get just as much attention though.

I think Reuben is the better 'natural' singer. IMO, Clay is a great performer, but he just seemed to be trying too hard over- selling his songs..
