		<description>Ruben can definitely fill that void left by Luther.  As for DF pic, it was from the cover of his album &quot;David Foster&quot; released in 1986, that was 23 years ago so he definitely looks older now, LOL.</description>

		<description>Beaman has a very nice baritone voice which I don&#039;t hear as a fit for the smoothness of Luther.   As far as how many chances Ruben gets, I don&#039;t think there is a limit to opportunities one gets but a matter of getting the right opportunity. The fact that he keeps getting them means that somebody believes in his talent.  He might not top the charts but his music gets played which is something that all artists can&#039;t say.  He has several songs that are played daily on the radio.  He is not a mainstream artist therefore some of you may never hear him.  I don&#039;t hear Kelly or Carrie on my stations.  If it were not for the internet, I wouldn&#039;t know anything about them.  He currently has a top 30 single on the Urban A/C charts and another on the Recurrent chart.  I think he has achieved more than folks give him credit for.</description>

		<description>At the risk of sounding like a confused, middle aged white guy (which, I guess, I am) ... what is it about a flamboyantly gay singer like Adam Lambert that gets women hot &amp; bothered? Is it the lure of forbidden fruit? Or is it the thought &quot;I could bring him back from the dark side.&quot; 

I just don&#039;t get it.</description>

		<description>Morning! Glad you had a good trip, D. And, thanks, Nana, as usual, for getting things started in the morning. I saw ET last night, and it was pretty tame. Adam looked amazing with his Elvis thing goin&#039; on.</description>

Got my tickets for the David Cook show in the mail yesterday - woohoo!!  Excited about that one!</description>

		<description>Morning!

My feet are killing me.  I think we walked about 10 miles on Sunday.  On rough, cobblestone streets.  Rome is still fabulous...the gelato is still worth the trip!  I have a ton of things to do today to catch up on what I should have been doing all weekend.

First let me say congrats to Tech on their amazing win over VT.  And to the Falcons.

I think it is great that David Foster has taken some of the Idols under his wing.  Along with Michael Johns and Ruben Studdard, DF has also spent a lot of time working with Kat McPhee.  And of course, he&#039;s Clay Aiken&#039;s son&#039;s uncle.  But no, he doesn&#039;t look like that anymore unless he&#039;s had extensive plastic surgery plus a really good dye job.

Haven&#039;t seen the Daughtry video yet.  I&#039;ll get back to y&#039;all on that one later.

Josh Gracin is appearing at the Frederick Brown Amphitheater in Peachtree City on Nov. 21st.  It is a charity event for the Hudson Family Foundation hosted by Atlanta Brave Tim Hudson.</description>
