The margin of victory on the ballot count comes from my friends and me voting early and often. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Williams [mailto:jdave23-at-express56.com] Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2003 9:50 AM To: hangout-at-nylxs.com Subject: [hangout] Congratulations
Hi everyone -
Allow me to be the first to congratulate Ruben on his incredible victory.
I heard on the radio this morning that Ruben is the winner of this year's "American Idol" contest. Although I haven't seen the show, I understand that it came down to a tight contest between Ruben and one other competitor, with a difference of only about 1000 votes. And this was from a total of over two million voters! That's more people than the turnout from the last presidential election!
I was especially surprised to learn that Ruben's vocal stylings were favorably compared to Luther Vandross -- considering that Mr. Vandross may never sing again, I'm happy to know that someone else will be taking up the torch of singing soulful ballads. The world can always use more finely performed spiritual and make-out music.
So congratulations, Ruben! Just don't forget all of your old friends after you embark on your big recording career!
- Dave
