2. Maybe if they had the talent to make a few bucks they wouldnt be looking for hand-outs!

3. American Idol doesn't owe him anything. They gave him a career. He is definitely a big boy; he can pay his own way now.

4. Pay your own dam way. You are a 6 year before Idol winner. I don't work for the company that I did 6 YEARS AGO. I don't expect them to pay my gas money to go to my current job.

7. Ruben, if you actually did anything with your career, they'd probably pay for you to be there - oh that's right, they did fly your fat ass out to sing on stage - or rather sweat profusely - what a joke you are. Get over it has-been.

8. If he was concerned with air fare he should of made it part of his contract. Reuben was the first to commit gospel suicide. Only a few people know what he is even doing now. My guess that the reason he wants to show up is he wants to release a straight pop album. Thus he is the one who gains most. I don't think Carrie flies commercial.

9. Actually, Ruben wasnt complaining. The TMZ reported is needeling him to say things and asking him questions and making a bunch of crap out of it. If you listen to it, he didnt ask them to.

12. The Lambert last name would be pronounced Lam-Bear if it were the French form of the last name. Of course, this is America and we say Lam-bert. It is of English and French origin according to Ancestry.com.

13. Not all Idols are created equal, apparently. If you compare Ruben to other idols and most definitely compared to Adam or Chris, he's not all that anymore. Frankly, I am not sure how Clay didn't win, the FAR superior singer. Six years is a long time. AI doesn't need Ruben or even need recent winner David Cook. My guess is that all former winners always need AI *a little bit more* than AI needs them. Except for Carrie Underwood for some reason. Just another country singer!

14. Ruben, pick up the phone - it's Biggest Loser calling!

15. Just another Obama Supporter looking for a hand-out from America (n Idol). Look for more and more of this as the expected reward for electing a socialist president - THANKS everyone for voting for Obama based on his skin color without having any clue on what he stood for or what the consequences would be. Jesus taught the people to fish - Obama Jesus is just giving out the fish and Ruben is first in line.
