Default Ruben Studdard cheated and should have been disqualified!!!

I know he used his massive clout to annihilate the judges and the entire public and his massive clout is extremely bad.

I don't understand why his massive clout is 100% bad?!

I don't understand why he used his massive clout?!

I don't understand why they picked him in this contest for no reason at all?!

He should have been disqualified from this contest!

He should have never been chosen in this contest!

He should have never won Season 2!

He should have been eliminated in third place instead!

I agree that Clay Aiken should have won Season 2 instead and I have a feeling that Kimberley Locke should have ended up as Season 2's runner-up instead!!

I know it's too late to turn back the clock, but that Ruben winning Season 2 was the cause on letting this show down!

Question

I'll probably regret asking this but what the heck are you referring to when you say 'massive clout?'

I think he was getting FREE AOL internet at the time, and he had one of those cards from Subway where you get your 10th sandwich for free.

Excuse me but Ruben Studdard won American Idol fair and square. Just because you don't like him doesn't mean he didn't deserve to win because he did. Clay Aiken was mediocre at best and entirely too nerdy looking.

Fair and square is intolerable! Ruben has terrible voice and a horrible single style and nobody should let him win that way.

We were thinking the judges were bad appraising him incorrectly, or we might think that the votes might be miscounted or on the bottom line, the press release may have appraised Ruben by voting him more in a rotten way.

I think it is not right for the press release to act rotten on American Idol in its second season because it will lose ratings that way.

That subway situation that you mentioned is completely farfetched from this topic!

Ruben Studdard earned his place in television history fair and square (and against incredible odds, I might add) so let it go. . .

I know we cannot re-write history, but you mentioning "Fair And Square" is 100% intolerable!

Ruben should have been ended up in third place instead. Clay should have won and Kimberley Locke should have been the runner-up instead!

Do you think that the press release appraised Ruben to win and act too despicable on both clay and kimberley?

maybe if you write an extremely long and detailed letter to Simon Cowell, explaining your points that you have raised here and back them up with cross-referenced footnotes and annotations he will use his massive clout and do a recount and reappraise the situation for much better felicitations.

He may have gotten fired from American Idol really bad, or there could another thing that the press release was watching Season 2 of American idol and appraised Ruben to win in very despicable way.

American Idol is just a big popularity contest. Someone winning a season doesn't necessarily mean they're the best. If any of the winners cheated it was Taylor Hicks, no way was he in his 20s.
