Too bad girls, that not all of America is as blind as you, and realizes that Reuben Studdard was a born star and could outsing Clay and everybody else. They also realize that Clay looks like a gay leprechaun and sounds like a cheesy broadway singer.

Brandon, grow up. You're the kind of people that doesn't know talent if it came up and gave you a lapdance. Ruben only won on a technicality, he won because he was black. If he was white and sang like that, he would've ended up in 5th place being beaten by Trenyce. Did you even hear Ruben's album? It sucks. In two years he's going to be another fat rapper. Brandon only you and your so-called "straight" friends if you even have any (no you're mom can't be your friend either) need to grow up. Clay's successful, something you'll never be and you'll spend the rest of your life flipping burgers on a grill.
