3. More Britney please, like how she was clean of any drugs and exactly what happened to her kid last night? Hope she gets better, I feel bad for her:(

4. Does this mean his part as Fat Bastard in the upcoming movie Austin Black Powers is on hold?

5. I think Ruben has a great voice but he needs to do music more for the younger crowd and I think he would do better. I saw Frenchie in Rent and she was awesome; her voice was perfect.

6. There's always Broadway. Ruben has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard.

7. I wouldn't call Broadway an Idol Graveyard by any means. Some of the most talented performers in this country are working on the Broadway stage. The LA poptarts and bad boys that TMZ loves to idolize wouldn't last a day there.

TMZ--stick to your thirty mile zone as Broadway is way out of your class.

8. Everyone should seriously just leave Britney Spears alone. This is not rocket science, people. This girl is in really bad shape and she needs our love, prayers and support. She needs to be with people that love her for who she is and not what they can get out ot her. Her family, the media and all these comedians are making money off her break down, ( including Chris Crocker).

All of you keep calling her these terrible names and making awful jokes, but can't you see Britney is in serious need of medical care, she just doesn't realize it.

I cringe to think of the backlashing that I will get for posting this, but you know what they say about opinions!!!

Pray for this girl that she gets the well deserved treatment and help she so desperately needs!!!

9. I think Ruben has one of the best voices to come out of that show. He is very talented, and he is one singer that shouldn't go to waste.

10. Both need to get their fat azzes on Celebrity Fit Club...Dustin Diamond will whoop their butts!

11. Ruben is adorable and had a fantastic voice. It is too bad that the American public couldn't see past his size and embrace his talent. And as far as making it sound like Broadway is a bad place to be...You have to actually have talent to be is a show on Broadway. Can you imagine Britney singing on Broadway? There are thousands of fantastic singers on Broadway with trained voices who can blow the likes of Britney and Jessica Simpson away. Forget the blond hair and big boobs...just close your eyes and listen (LISTEN) strictly to their voices. Is there any reasonably sane person out there who can tell me (with a stright face) that Britney or Jessica sings better than Frenchie? Mandisa? Kimberly Locke? Fantasia? Make fun of American Idol all you want...but do you think that Simon Cowell would ever have let Britney or Jessica make it pass the first round of auditions? Talent comes in all shapes and sizes...not just the airhead blondes with double d's!

12. Ruben is a very talanted person and have not been managed right since winning American Idol we all have read the stories on how the company basically used him and got paid. standard industry pratices that date back to 50's and 60's where a person of color just dogged use us for our talents and not being fully compensated it's not fair!!!! I wish him all the sucess of Broadway. Ruben should consider singing jazz as he will be doing on Broadway for a much older more mellow crowd. Everybody don't want to do the booty clap... HE IS MY #1 FAN CONTINUE TO REPRESENT RUBEN WE IN THE NASTY NATI GOT YO BACK

13. I think Ruben is an amazing talent. He needs the proper management of his career. His Motown duet with Jordin Sparks on the AI finale last season was the highlight of the show..just as terrific as Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

14. Reuben's heart and soul is gospel music and that's the type of label he should be signed to. You have to have talent to land on Broadway so your put down won't hold him down. Everyone can't be on the same level as Kelly and Carrie but he's not on the bottom either because he's working and that's what count. Selling records isn't everything and don't guarantee happiness, just ask Britney.

15. There is nothing wrong with Broadway - a A lot of people go to the theater. Unfortunately, not everyone can be a headliner. He's a good singer. If he can have a career singing, then he's already blessed.
