I heard about that too, and apparently Ryan showed Clay the card like five minutes beforehand. Then Clay denied it initially because he didn't know if Fox would let him say what actually happened. I don't think it really matters, though it does give me yet another reason to think Ryan Seacrest...

I can't wait for Clay's album!!!! :D Chances are we'll get Ruben's too, since my dad and brother were rooting for him. I like him a lot too, but Clay is number one in my book! Erin

As crass as Simon is, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have anything to do with "American Juniors." He has said that he thinks there should be laws against children under age 16 becoming recording artists, and he disapproves of the whole "American Juniors" concept. He thinks that kids having to deal...

Clay's second single: "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Unchained Melody." :flirt: :flirt: :flirt: Erin

Way to go, Ruben. :) Yes, I wanted Clay to win, I think he sooo deserved it, but Ruben did too. And with .05 percent difference, that's a tie as far as I'm concerned. As long as Clay still produces an album -- hopefully many, many albums -- I am happy. And I'm going to see him live July 23!!! :D...

Definitely, go Clay! I like Kim too, and she did do a good job last week. I read an article where Simon said he thought she outsang Ruben but he spared her his praise and spared Ruben his criticism because he wanted Ruben in the final two. Tricksy.... [/B] ABSOLUTELY!!! :D I'm with you there...

I definitely think this year's race is a lot tougher to call, although if Tamyra had been up against Kelly (as she should have! :mad: -- no offense Justin) I think it would've been a lot closer. I think Tamyra should have won but she maybe is better off not having won. I think most of the...

I agree!! How could Simon say Clay was ugly at the beginning of the show? That was so rude? I don't mind how he looks now - as he's said, it's just clothes and stuff like that, it's not that big a deal -- I just don't want to see this competition change him. As far as being contemporary, I've...

You missed one heck of a showdown. It included Lennon and McCartney (Ruben with "Imagine," Clay with "Here, There and Everywhere") and concluded with Clay's rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." FANTASTIC!!! :D Erin

:eek: :mad: Sorry, gotta go with Clay. Ruben's terrific, but Clay is spectacular. I'm not entirely sure he WILL win, but I definitely think he SHOULD win. I love Clay to death. :flirt: Erin

I CANNOT WAIT until Clay Aiken's CD comes out. I know he'll release one whether or not he gets first place. Man, is this guy fantastic. Tonight, his final performance on the series was "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which is probably my all-time favorite song. I am the hugest Simon and Garfunkel...

Congratulations!!! I just graduated from college on Saturday, so I know how nice it feels to be out. Of course it is bittersweet as well, leaving so many people behind, but overall it is a very good feeling to be finally done. :D Erin

I could eat pizza every day of the week! (And sometimes I do...) I'm also a big fan of lasagna. Anything oozing with cheese is alright by me! :D Erin

I want to check that out. I think TRAIN is coming to Erie this summer - it's Pat Monahan's hometown! :D It was pretty exciting to see a local guy on the Grammys last year! Erin

Thanks for the encouragement, everybody! :) I am going to try to find my niche. I know what you mean about almost everything being written, Fozzie. It's Harold Bloom's dreaded "anxiety of influence" again -- every time I think I've come up with something original, I realize I've read something...

Thanks! I'm an English major (creative writing) with no particular plans right now. Time to figure that out! What I really want to do is write, in some way or another. Writing children's books would be my dream job. :) Erin

I just took the last final exam of my college career. As of May 17, I will be a college graduate! And maybe have a couple weeks to breathe easy before I have to face the real world... I'm just relieved I got through it. After 17 years of school, to be suddenly done -- maybe for good -- is a...

I'm the news editor for my college newspaper - the most invisible visible person on campus!! I was voted the quietest girl in my 200-student class in high school. I was in the local paper once in sixth grade as a "Can-Do Kid" -- they showcased me as a writer. And I got to meet Art Garfunkel when...

Many, many, many happy returns of the day to you, Byron! Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!! :) :D Erin

I love Jimmy Stewart too! He's the greatest. Gotta love the Everymen. And, going down to the next generation, I love Haley Joel Osment, who has been compared to Jimmy Stewart. Erin
