American Idol Poll

[binka_nugget]

wolf_q and primabella suggested making a poll for american idol..so here it is.

[slleipnir]

My opinion isn't there so I picked clay :) I have NO clue who will win, but I think Clay is the better singer :)

[carole]

we are watching this live in new zealand right now, i have not missed one show, i love it, i want clay to win as well, both are fantastic singer, and rueben is a cute big teddy bear for sure, but i think clay is the better singer, although rueben is very consistent, hard to say, but i am going with clay,
'Will find out tonite at 8.30 cant wait

[carole]

oh and just a different subject, i think simon cowell is great, he makes the show interesting, he can be soooo... cruel and harsh sometimes and i dont always agree with him but for the most he is darn honest and knows his stuff , paula sickens me, she is so nicey nicey and she raves on and on , cant stand her sorry. like the other guy whats up dog hes COOL

[binka_nugget]

LOL yea i think Simon makes it a better show...the contestants and voters care about the other 2 judge's opinions..but the biggie is simon's

[carole]

Oh so true binka_nugget, when is it televised in America, or where u are , we are a day ahead here ,so was just wondering, they had a radio competition u could win tickets live to los angeles to c the final show, i did not enter but would have been a neat trip all the same

P.S. I *CAN'T* stand clay's voice! YUCK!

[carole]

AWW you have such BAD TASTE, no just joshing with ya, everyone is entitled to their opinion, well not long to go and c if the american public agree with you or not, hey i like RUEBEN too, he reminds me of BIG MAN BARRY WHITE, u probably too young to know him, GO CLAY GO CLAY GO CLAY GO CLAY GO CLAY GO CLAY, hehhehehe

[Dogz]

GO RUBEN!
I am going with Kfamr!:D

[The Cat Factory]

I think Clay will win, he is the better singer out of the 2.

[primabella]

I have been rootin for Ruben the whole time and then only saw one of the 3 performaces tonight. I think Clay will win but I want Ruben to.

[AngelZoo]

Where's the option for.. "I don't watch that junk?" :D

[Uabassoon]

I like both of them, I'm not really sure who I want to win. Kimberly was my favorite, I would have liked to see her win.

[Christiansmommy]

I am voting for Ruben. I think Clay is too dramatic and broadway stylish...not pop music style, ya know? JMO.

Robyn

[wolf_Q]

GO CLAY!!

I think Ruben will win though....btw, has anyone actually voted? I never have, lol. Does it cost anything?

[binka_nugget]

I've never voted cuz I'm in canada..lol but I think I will for canadian idol

[Soledad]

I find Clay sickening! He looks like some sort of creepy old man, and I can't believe he got this far. Has anyone else noticed how one of his eyes is smaller than the other? Whenever I see girls holding up signs about how cute he is, I have to shudder. Gross.

I'll take Ruben over him any day.

[binka_nugget]

hehehe I find clay kinda funny looking too...his eyes and lips bother me..although I think he looks ahelluva lot better than his first audition.

[carole]

I admit Clay is no oil painting, but he has kinda grown on me, i do wonder if he is gay though, not that i have anything against that, just curious, just watching his mannerisms.
Well everyone has an opinion, but u may not like him lookswise etc, but to say he cant sing, well i think u are very wrong there, and so does the american public and the judges, they cant all be wrong.
Actually i was sad to c kimberley go to, i really liked her, but someone had to, oh and bummer i c its not the final tonite, but th semi-final have to wait one more nite oh well................

[Soledad]

Being technically perfect does not make you an artist. I think that human feeling and expression counts for more in a voice than just being able to hit certain notes.

In my own little head, Clay is neither gay nor straight. A man that creepy is not allowed a sexuality in my world. ;)

[GoldenRetrLuver]

GO RUBEN! IM ROOTING FOR YOU!:D :)

[Soledad]

I admit Clay is no oil painting

By the way, this made me burst into a fit of giggles. Gotta use that phrase soon!

[carole]

Well i am glad i made u laugh, but hey u are being way to judgemental on the poor guy, whats creepy about him, i cant c it myself, i can imagine him not appealing to everyones taste, but u are so very harsh, so tell me what dont u like about him.

[Soledad]

He just looks creepy to me. No explanation other than he looks like he has no soul. No depth or feeling, just empty.

[carole]

geez i am glad i arent in the public eye , thats all i say, phew, isn't amazing though how everyone see something different, i thought he was just a plain ole country boy myself, nothing creepy to me, oh well we shall agree to disagree on this one, i still think he is gonna WIN so there hehehehe

[slleipnir]

I'm pretty sure Ruben will win, but I think it will be pretty close ;) Guess we'll find out tonight lol

[Kfamr]

Originally posted by carole

Opinions. They're like @$$h0|es, everyone has em!


I agree with Soledad though, he's creepy. I don't like his voice either... so again i say....

GO RUBEN GO RUBEN GO RUBEN!

[Kfamr]

Even if Ruben doesn't win, I'm pretty sure he'll be produced or have some kinda record deal after him!

[bluekat]

As I've said in my other post, I want Clay to win!:D I just voted, and they're both tied.
GO CLAY!

[slleipnir]

I'm sure either will. I hated Justin from last one and look where he's at..lol I just don't like Rubens voice..hes a good singer and deserves to win, but I don't like it. I love Clays I dont think ppl should judge him by what he looks like :p :rolleyes:

[carole]

Well after watching the show last night, i reckon both of them were lacking in a couple of songs, their last ones did it though for both of them, but Clay baby u ROCK, i honestly dont see one creepy thing about him, and i really looked hard.
I dont think it will be judged on how they look, and to be honest i agree with Simons comments to clay , u were ugly and now you are handsome, besides Rueben is a very large man, and that would be unfair to judge him on that, and say hey u cant be the American Idol because u are too fat even though u have an amazing voice.
Well they are both great singers , and both will do well in the future, and all i can say MAY THE BEST MAN WIN CLAY BABY:D

[binka_nugget]

wow..it's pretty muched tied right now...yea I'm sure someone will snap up the loser...look at justin (is it?) and kelly...they're in a movie..and all famous now.

Hehe I thought I'd mention this...last night I changed my nickname on msn to 'I like playing with "Clay" ' LOL I got some funny responses

[Aspen and Misty]

I think both deserve to win! They are wonderful singers and have been great from day one! I don't know how anyone could ever decid between them.


I'm going to one of there concerts! Ahhh row K. We'll be on the floor, I can't wait. Most of the singers this year were so great I know there concert will rock!

Ash

[RockyRoad]

Go Clay!! :D
I don't think he's creepy at all.
Ruben is good too, but I have to pick Clay.

[Soledad]

It's not just his looks, specifically, but the fact that he (to me) has no soul, no depth and that makes him creepy. Trust me, Ruben is no looker either...but he comes across as a better personality, and we all know that being a pop star is about having something that lures you in.

[carole]

i wondered how long it would be before you would be here lol, well thats your opinion, yeah rueben is a sweetie i will give u that, but nothing wrong with clay either in my opinion, well we shall see tonite eh

[carole]

CLAY IS GONNA WIN CLAY IS GONNA WIN CLAY IS GONNA WIN CLAY IS GONNA WIN CLAY IS GONNA WIN CLAY IS GONNA WIN CLAY IS GONNA WIN :D :D :D

[Christiansmommy]

15 more minutes in New Jersey and it starts...we shall see :)

[slleipnir]

LMAO i just saw that! i was also very scared ~ lol

[slleipnir]

He was all touchy feely with her after that like in the real time show..I wonder if they're going out..my friend from england says its and open secret there in england that he's gay or something..

[CamCamPup33]

hmmmmm..... he could be

[Kfamr]

they said the winner for florida is ruben ;P hehe... so people down here are smart afterall!:p

[Soledad]

I'm sure Simon's gay (not that it matters). And if he isn't, I can't see him anywhere near Paula.

I think Simon rocks, though. Randi is ridiculous (pull his string and he says: "I'm feelin you, dawg.") and Paula is so nicey-nice.

Tell me what's happening!! I'm hooked and it won't be on for hours in NZ!

[CamCamPup33]

yeah.. i heard that too well obviously u live in fla too. :rolleyes: look at him aww!! GO RUBEN!! aww hear the people booing?? :(

Yeah just a little.... enough to know what kind of toilette paper he uses and his weirdest eating habit.... just a little though.

[2kitties]

I voted for Clay until my fingers fell off. Alas, it wasn't to be. But, I think we'll be seeing a great deal from both these incredibly talented guys.

But, Clay was my favorite. IMO, his voice was far and away the better instrument. He worked his register in ways Ruben just simply could not do. But, Ruben has a nice soulful resonance.
And, by the end, I was one of the women finding Clay quite the attractive fellow! I'm on the Clay train, I suppose.

Another thing I enjoyed about Clay was his showmanship. Every move was a part of the package. He never let us down when it came to identifying with the music, lyrics and performance. I don't feel Ruben was able to pull off the kind of stage presence Clay did.

But, I think they are both winners and very talented. I see no reason to say ugly things about anyone on an internet message board. Ridiculing people over your own opinion of their looks or skill is better left to the judges.

Today, I was actually dorky enough to preorder his single from Amazon. (Which, by the way, is reportedly out preselling Ruben's 2-1 at the present time).

[primabella]

Well, my friends and I were talking about it and I don't even see what the difference between the two are. They both have record deals now and you'll be seeing things form both of them. Ruben doesn't really have the American Idol title. When you think American Idol, don't you usually think of Kelly? Just a thought. I'm still happy with the results :D

[carole]

Ok well i stayed away from this thread, until this morning incase the winner was revealed before i got to c the show, but u are all so good and did not reveal it.
Well congratulations to the American public for voting for Rueben, and choosing him because he can sing not what he looks like, i never imagined an idol to look like Rueben, he has a real sweet face, though and innocence about him. I am thrilled for him, I am disappointed for Clay, but i would have been sadder for Rueben if he had lost, dont know why just would have been
Soledad you are way to harsh with regards to Clay, just look how he handled being the loser, he was wonderful, that shows he has depth to his character not at all like you think he is, at least give him that, even if you dont like him.
And as for Simon, well folks, i dont think he is gay at all, and we all know it was just a sitcom for the t.v, i read they actually cant stand each other, i can c why too, Paula sucks big time, she is so dramatic and in to herself. I LOVE ME. AND ARENT I JUST GORGEOUS AND SEXY hmmm .
Well gay or not he has has a girlfriend, did you not c her introduced on the show, mind u that means nothing these days.
Anyhow i think Simon is COOL.
Well i have had my say folks, and i am big enough to admit i was WRONG, however it was a tight vote, just a pity i could not have voted and all my Kiwi pals, we would have made sure CLAY won. cheers:D

I agree completely!
Clay's surely no Ben Affleck, but he is a *bit* of a looker. I love his eyes. He was so supportive of Ruben, and when he won, he was so kind to him, and showed not the least bit of a 'sore loser'. He put lots of motivation in his songs, and definetly held up the statement 'don't judge a book by it's cover.'

I don't think Simon's gay either. My mom told me he had a fiancee. I think Simon's cool too. Paula is too ...weird. I agree with carole, she is way too into herself.

Anyway, they both deserved to win. I would be lucky to actually be on the show, let alone win the American Idol. They both put lots of work and talent into it. :)

[carole]

WELL SAID:) :D

[Kfamr]

People ARE allowed to have their opinions.:rolleyes:

[carole]

NO-ONE ever said they werent ALLOWED to have their opinions, thats what this site is all about, and we are just voicing ours as you are too, its called FREEDOM OF SPEECH, so go for it.

[Kfamr]

NO Sh*t! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[carole]

There is absolutely NO NEED for you to be so RUDE, u made a point , so did i, lets leave it at that.

[Kfamr]

I wasn't being rude but yeah ok whatever :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
