Yes, everyone should only get X amount of votes, altho this week I heard Samantha say that if you had more than one e-mail address that you could vote on each address (and it would be "their little secret" she said).
And if the AI judges comments counted for something at this stage of the show, maybe they wouldn't feel compelled to make inane comments about irrelevent things in an attempt to sway the audience's vote. (ie. "the finals wouldn't be the same without you", "you look beautiful", "don't like this arrangement")

Fran,
I never liked that suit, either!!!
In the Final Two Show, Clay sang HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE, THIS IS THE NIGHT and BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER.

Sitting here this Sunday evening watching AI Rewind. Rubin just sang This House is Not a Home and the judges thought he was just marvelous!!! Not!!!!! Clay sang This is The Night and Randy didn't like the song and Simon didn't really like it. BOO on Simon. Clay was wonderful, fantastic. I still get so upset when I watch this show as to how unfair Clay was treated. I want CLAY's star to shine just to thumb his nose at the judges.

Pepe,
It was almost like they were trying to sabotage Clay in subtle ways. Did you notice how Ruben's dressing room was black and red, I think, and Clay's was hot pink, with a pink furry chair?
And then the judges say they don't like THIS IS THE NIGHT!! Hello!!! This is the song that was written and chosen for Clay by AI!!! Clay had no choice here. Personally, I've always liked the song.
HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE was not such a great song and the key was not really in Clay's range, but he did a terrific job on it.
And of course, BOTW was excellent and everyone liked it, even Simon the Terrible!

Hi Prissy :wave :wave
My girlfriend is here. She brought the 2 tapings from the
original last 2 shows of IDOL 2. In the final 2 , like you said
Clay and Ruben sang 3 songs apiece. The following
week in the finale, it was a 2 hour show. The final 12
contestants were there and sang together. Then they sang
one song with Clay and one with Ruben. Then Clay and Ruben
sang one together. They also talked to some of Clays fans
in North Carolina and some of Rubens in Alabama. And showed
the dressing room and stuff. And they asked the final 12
who they wanted to win. So what they did on Rewind, they
showed parts of both shows and cut out about half or more
of what they had on the original AI final shows. :smile Carol

Well, I watched tonight, and got just as mad as I did 5 years ago! :lol I know that it has all turned out well, but it still is not fair!!!!!!!
I loved Clay's version of Here, There, and Everywhere - I can't believe it was edited out of the show! :bduh

I also didn't like the fact that Clay's dressing room in the finale was pink and flowery with the pink chair. I think that they did that on purpose unless anyone can give me a another reason why they would do that. It's like they were treating Ruben with respect and treating Clay like a joke. Oh well, that's all in the past, and Clay has been the survivor. He's here for the long haul. I'm so excited at how much attention he's getting.
Got to get back to work.

In my opinion Clay always was and still is the TRUE American Idol. :clap :clap
And I will be watching the repeats of AI2 rewind when it continues a new one this weekend. Love you Clay :bouncy

Today, the 4:00 showing of AI REWIND was the Final with Ruben being declared winner. At 7 PM on another channel was that same Final show, then at 8 PM, Season 2 is starting all over again with the auditions, so.....I don't know if we will see all of these past weeks shows repeated again or not! :scratch
Like you all, I can never get enough Clay, so i don't mind if they just keep rewinding and rewinding.
Comments about the Final Two show:
Clay said in the side comments that he was looking at Ruben because he wanted to see Ruben's reaction when he won. Clay already knew Ruben had won because he had seen Ryan's card with notes inadvertently.
But I remember at the time, Clay said he didn't want his picture made face on when it was announced that Ruben won. He didn't want any one to capture his expression.
In side comments, almost all the Season 2 Contestants thought Ruben would win. I wonder how they really felt at the time. I know Kimberly Locke was very close to Clay. I would think she thought Clay would win. Also, the contestants already realized how big a fan base Clay had. I think after the fact (Ruben's winning) they decided to jump on the Ruben band wagon!
I wish Clay had mentioned in his side comments that even though he was the runner-up, he was treated almost like a co-winner. He also got a recording contract. Wherever Ruben went, TV shows, interviews, etc., Clay was there, too. I don't think Justin was always with Kelly after Kelly won.
