Now it's down to Clay and Ruben. Who do you guys think will win?

Clay should win. And until last night I thought he'd have the best career of anyone who was in it. But now I think perhaps Kimberly could end up the bigger star.

Ruben just doesn't seem to have the versatility the other two have and I thought he had an off night this week. I think he survived because he's been more consistant than Kimberly. Kimberly had the best week this week (she was the only one who did well with their random song), but got sent home because she hasn't been as consistant (partly because of some bad song choices) because just based on this weeks performance, the finals should have been Clay and Kimberly. I think that would have been the more interesting finals, too, because I think they had the two strongest voices of anyone in the show.

Uh, I don't see where Clay has more versatility than Ruben. They both have different styles that have stayed the same throughout the show.

No offense, but you seem to be really anti-Ruben

I don't know if I'm anti-Ruben. There have been a few performances he's done that I really loved, like his How Can You Mend a Broken Heart last week, which was outstanding. And there have been a few times I find myself wondering what all of the hype is about (like his Signed, Sealed and Delivered this week).

Perhaps versatility may be the wrong word. I'm not sure exactly how to express it, though.

I have thought for about 8 weeks now that the finals would be Clay and Ruben, so I don't think I'd call that anti-Ruben. I also was stunned, like everyone on this thread, when Ruben was in the bottom 2 a couple weeks ago.

I just think had Kimberly done a better job of song selection last week. For instance, singing something like a song off of the Bee Gees written Barbra Streisand album Guilty (perhaps Life Story) instead of the Andy Gibb song, she could have snuck in and grabbed first place. Early on, she was in the bottom 3 more often than not and she really stepped things up to where she only missed the finals by 2% of the vote.

Although I am for Ruben all the way...It's hard to say who will win.Either way they both will get record deals. Ruben is more marketable. I just cannot see Clay singing a pop song. No doubt he can sing...but his voice just seems more suited for Broadway. Ruben can definitely prevail in the R&B/Pop industry...although he is better suited for the slow jams.

Clay will win. He's never been in the bottom two. Ruben has.

It's gonna be Clay easily...
