I read that article. I never cared for his voice so that's good news.
I liked Ruben but not enough to buy his album. Same sentiment for Kelly and Clay. |
Let us now bow our silence in memory of one of our banned members. What a great thread this could have been.
|
Who?
|
The problem, I think, with American Idol is that it's essentially gameshow karaoke. It might be fun to see these people compete with each other singing other people's songs, but I sure as hell won't run out to buy their lame-assed albums.

Okay, I'll admit it, I'm one of the 134,000... and I still think its a great album.
|
How much did he get sued for?
|
$100,000. It looks like the paragraphs got mixed up.
|
I would like for Kelly, Justin, Ruben, and Clay to one day be the nameless faces they once were.

I was one of a few people that was present when he almost hit a little girl with a jet ski. He came out of the water at top speed and the thing travelled at least 25 - 30 yards missing the girl ['bout 10 or 11 yrs] by a few feet. I really don't think he even saw her.
At the time I didn't know it was him. I read about it in the paper a few days later. Turns out Clarkson was there with him. He seemed to act like a brat, not spoiled, just obnoxious. Good for RCA. |
