Ruben Defends Clay on Atlanta Radio Station

The CB's ap1959 says AI2 winner Ruben Studdard defended Clay on an Atlanta radio station earlier this month. A download of the interview is available here.

Please don't throw tomatoes at me...because I know what many members think of Bham Alabama based talk radio hosts RICK and BUBBA.....butttttttt they had Ruben as a phone-in guest on Dec 9th. I taped it and just getting time to listen to the interview. Of course I was waiting for any Clay mention.

They finally asked if he keeps in touch with other Idols "like Clay". Ruben said he talked with Clay about a week ago (prior to 12/9). He said "Clay will be in Atlanta soon so everybody to go check out "Mr. Clay Aiken".

A comedian was also on the show and in the background was making some jokes about Clay (not favorable I don't think)...Ruben couldn't hear them but said "what did he say"...then the banter started about ClayMates will get you.

I will have to play it again to get the exact words but Ruben said yeah he has the "craziest fan club"...they will come after you I guarantee that...Ruben "chackles" to Rick and Bubba talking about ClayNation getting after them. It was a cute interview and Ruben was in a more outgoing mood than normal seemed-like.

Ruben is definitely a Class-Act as is CLAY when it comes to giving Kudos to others. I think he and Clay will remain life-long friends.
