Rubins signal with his arm could be Gang releated and might drive him out of the picture at least at this point i know he is vulnerable. If Locke or the marine win i will be doing my own arm signal similar to the one done by MJ when the Bulls 3 peated!!! Just bought the marine for 2 dollars a share a 100 bucks to win 5000!! If Fox is not screwing with the #s i might have a shot. Lets hope Arther Anderson is not the auditers!!

As I said a couple of weeks ago, the value play is on Clay Aiken, at +250 a couple of weeks ago. He's now at even money and will probably win this thing.

Clay is going to win (even), although it should be Ruben-1.30. Kimberly is definately a longshot but she is just way too big(7/1).Josh has no shot, he sucks(20/1). Odds are for the Greek.

I disagree about what you said indicating that it "should be" Ruben. I think that, in terms of their talent, it's not even close. Hands down, Clay has the best voice of the group, and one of the best voices I've ever heard. Ruben has no vocal range at all. Once he tries to go into the higher octaves, he loses ALOT. He has the Barry White thing going, but, that's the extent of his vocal range. Clay, on the other hand, can hit just about any note, at any time. Not to mention that, in terms of power and projecting his voice, he is unparalleled. Sure, he's a nerd, but, like I said, some profesional styling and a cycle on the steroids can change all that.

Clay is going to win, and, quite frankly, deservedly so.

I cannot agree any more jcambert. Ruben is good, obviously, But Clay is on a different level. I believe Kimberly should go tonight, instead of Josh. He gets many, many votes from not only people who prefer country, but also much of the military. I have to say also, that I believe Ricky Smith was, or is, better that Ruben.That guy could sing, period.

I have to hope Clay or Ruben hits the road tonight!!

Oh Teaser, you didnt go out on a limb did you? No way either of those 2 guys go tonight.....Just now way.....Even if they didnt receive enough votes, the show, or FOX would ignore the votes from the public (which I think they do anyhow) because of ratings.

Here's my view..........If you truly know music, then you know that, Ruben is good, Kimberly is nothing special, and Clay is on a completely different level than not only those 2, but the rest of the earlier contestants. Ricky Smith should actually be there still instead of Ruben or Kimberly.
