Every poll I saw before hand had Clay winning.

I downloaded both from kazaa and Clay is hands down the better singer.

Personally, I think American Idol needed him to win because they voted Tamyra off last year even though she was better than both Klarkson and the fairy boy.

Kind of the same reason why Halle Berry won for Monster's Ball and Denzel Washington won for Training Day.

Halle Berry could not act her way out of a wet paper bag, X2 is the only decent acting i have ever seen her in. I have heard that she did a decent job in the dorothy Dandridge story but have not seen it..
I have seen every one of Denzel's movies, most of them more than once. I don't even think Training Day is in his 10 best movies. Hurricane, Glory and Hunt for Red October should have given him awards

Looks like they need to find a handicapped hispanic girl for American Idol 3

true, training day wasn't denzel's best acting movie, but they probably gave the nod to him because of those previous movies you mentioned where he could/should have won.
halle berry should have won for monster's ball (did you see the movie?)

the only good shows of american idol are the first few, where you can laugh your a$$ off with all those crazy people that think they can sing. :)

yes, she shows her titty's and boinks SlingBlade...sorry but any movie with PDiddy should not be assosiated with any oscar regardless of breastises. Best part of the movie was the out takes when he does the Sling Blade impersonation in the bathroom

Maybe it'll be white male and American Idol #4 will be black female.

I think latin woman would be in there somewhere before Asian. Actually I don't think Asian will ever get up there. Not many asians I know care too much about the show, but then again, maybe every asian in USA will call 15 times...

I if Clay came out and admitted he was gay, he would have probably won by playing the gay card.:D


I personally liked Clay better than Reuben. But hated the show after they Booted my Kimberly Caldwell over Carmen.




Yes I admit to watching the show

I think it was for the votes. 24 million and a difference of 1300 votes? I quite simply don't buy it. The chances of it are too slim for me to believe. 1/200th of a percent difference? No way.

A lot of people think that stuff was fixed. If Fox thinks they are going to lose a lot of their audience because of the racial card, then I'm sure they are going to lose a whole lot more from the show being bogus.
