17. This aint nothing, after wrapping up 'National Lampoon's Van Wilder,' Artisan Entertainment would only pay for half my Greyhound fare.

22. Simon Cowell has more money than God, flaunts his new mansion in the faces of the starving of the United States, and as a Briton, it sucks! Cowell drives a Bentley and has a "stable of cars". He sickens me!!!! Send Simon packing back to England, may he enjoy the clouds, heavy rains, gloomy weather and the oppressive pall that falls over the skies there. That's why Queen Elizabeth looks the ways she does there!!!

28. First of all, Reuben should never have won over Clay Aiken who was a far superior singer. The proof was the fact that Clay sold more albums than all the other winners combined. Second, if Reuben was any good, he would have made a name for himself in showbiz by this time. As for this year, it will be Adam Lambert by a LANDSLIDE !!! GO ADAM !!!

29. Why is it American Idols responsibility to buy his ticket? That's what's wrong with this country.......everyone thinks someone owns them something. Take responsibility for yourself and if you want to go - buy your own ticket!

30. This guy winning was a fluke. If he had any real talent, he wouldn't need to be begging money off Idol. They gave him his start. As an adult, it's his responsibility to keep his career going. Grow up Rueben.
