B, you are one of my 10 best friends on the planet and chronological time is waht keeps you outta the top 10 dude, no shit... With that, I would think YOU know better. Don't dis american idol, while on one occasion, the properly talented individual has won the COMPETITION, he has fallen behind in the ultimate game. Kelly Clarkson is not as talented as her having won idol would suggest, and Clay Aiken is not near as talented as even his SECOND place finish suggested. I get gift certificates to target from work all the time and use them on CDs most of the time, and last week, I quit playing and BOUGHT Ruben's CD and I was pleasently surprised. I EXPECTED that he would use the novelty of having won American Idol to sell a substandard product based on simple name recognition, but INSTEAD made a quality product that showcased talent and songwriting ability... I actually pulled some trim listening to it in Preston's car (with my system, of course) around some broads at the mall friday, no shit. I am impressed to say the least.
