Ruben is exactly where he should be. He was never as good as the judges made him out to be. Clay received 80 percent of the votes every single week - and he has proven it 'a thousand different ways' that he was the true winner of AI2. So many of Clay's votes were jammed in the one phone line that the producers just 'gave' the win to Ruben. Sad, isn't it??

Oh, I was luckily there. And though I love Kelly when Clay came out for his first the place went insane. Even on the nights were he performed first. Mind you this would when they had the co- headlining tour and it was where they were trading off on who opened . One night it was Kelly one night it was Clay. so because they thought Clay was done because of the first half being over, she brought him out for this part and it just went crazy. I was here and I was also in Wilkes-Barre PA when the crowd sang measure of a man to him and it literally got him all choked up. That was an experience I will never forget and something I would definitely recommend looking up.

memacute -- If you mean lightly tapping the side of the mic with his left hand soon after he first came onstage, I noticed it as well. I believe he stepped into a dead zone for the monitor speakers and couldn't hear himself over the crowd. Patting the mic like that is a signal to the crew, "is this mic working?" If I'm right, he did an excellent job of staying on pitch without being able to hear himself. That can't be learned, you either got it or you don't. I'd say he's got it.

he stood out more, and could be heard better, because he insisted his mic be turned up when he first walked out. if you watch again you will see him point to his mic and then point up from stage left where he enters.

@Eragon11777 I'm taking a shot at answering your question: I think that singers rely on a muscle around the stomach area, called the diaphragm, when it comes to singing. I think it helps with singing loudly because it helps with air control, as it's right under the lungs. I'm guessing Kelly finds it easier to sing loudly and more steadily with her hand there. Of course, I just know of the existence of the diaphragm. I could be totally wrong with my explanation.

Never got 2 a Clay/Kelly concert but did hear about the way the audiences treated Kelly. They are both wonderful. Geesh can't we all play nice!!LOL I really miss Clay not really being around like back in the day. Think he needs to ditch someone whose name starts w/ J and ends w/ aymes. Miss the old Clay and the songs from his first CD. To me that is the real Clay.

he might have been requesting that his mic be turned up on his monitors because he's doing the harmonies for the song. taking into consideration that the backing music (or band) would have been loud, along with the fact that the crowd's definitely going nuts... i wouldn't be surprised if clay probably couldn't hear himself in his monitors!
