I just have to give a shout out to Ruben Studdard from American Idol. Boy can sing! And representin' both the Magic City (he had on a 205 shirt) and Huntsvegas -- he graduated from A and M! To borrow a phrase from Martin, "you go boy!"

He was awesome! Dude sang "Don't you remember" by the Carpenters! did you hear me? He sang a Carpenters song! And rocked! Anyway, I really hope he makes it to the final 10! If you liked Ruben, throw a shout out up here.

Oh and what about that first kid? the one that sang "Open Arms" he threw down, too and Kimberly Locke was great -- didn't vibe on her attitude though. Be a grown up. Anyway, I'll be watching tonight when Ruben hopefully makes it to the final 10. Keep your fingers crossed!
