9. Justice at last for Clay!

Clay's supporters were incensed at alleged irregularities in the vote that gave the title to Ruben Studdard. Supposedly Clay's 800-number malfunctioned during a crucial time in the voting.

No, really, some of them were incensed enough to complain to the FCC!

JULY 10--After Ruben Studdard was crowned the newest "American Idol," outraged fans of runner-up Clay Aiken claimed that the show's voting was rigged to favor the morbidly obese Alabaman. Aiken acolytes were so upset that they swamped the Federal Communications Commission with letters accusing Fox Television of sabotaging Clay's chances by limiting his fans's ability to get through on phone lines and vote for the North Carolina beanpole. While the FCC received thousands of form letters calling for a probe of the "Idol" outcome, dozens of other fans authored more personalized letters to the government regulators (copies of which TSG obtained via a Freedom of Information request). Below you'll find an entertaining assortment of those letters, many of which include nasty swipes about Studdard's weight and the prodigious amount of flop sweat that pours forth as he croons. As one writer concluded, "something stinks here and it's not Rubens sweaty 205 jersey." But in case you think all the missives were coming from miffed teenyboppers, we've included letters from a chemical engineer and a 56-year-old Colorado businesswoman. (10 pages)

Let me see if I've got this straight: A sizable number of Americans were furious that their candidate, a talented but somewhat awkward Southerner, was gypped out of his rightful election win, and they actually complained to the government to get something done about it!

Apparently Clay commands more loyalty among the faithful than does Albert Gore Jr....

11. Not like it matters...

Clay's gotten more attention, because he's white and puny, than the real winner. Clay sucks and needs to stop denying that he's gay, because if he ain't then he missed a really good opportunity. Whatever. I hate American Idol.

19. LOL... Too funny... I can't feel much sympathy for someone who doesn't

even deserve the amount of attention he's gotten by being the runner-up. At best, this guy should be singing background for Disney films. Nothing at all unique or interesting about his voice.

On the other hand, Ruben had no talent at all... and couldn't even sustain a tune... taking a breath between every other note...

12. You can drown in those eyes! N/

13. Is make singer a new thing amongst the young?

I am so out of it. Does this involve rap music, or is it alternative? Help me here, I work with kids and need desperately to look hip. ;-)

[DemWitch]

15. uhmmmm...

50 cent, Jayzee, Usher, Christina, Nickelback, etc. hip...

Clay Aiken... not hip

[put out]

20. Thanks. I'll ask some of the young'uns I trust

to make me a listening list. I'm just trying to keep up. Stay away from Aiken, I suspect they'll tell me.

Are old show tunes O.K? ;)

[Endangered Specie]

14. Clay make-my-ears-Acken?

[elperromagico]

16. Come on! That distinction clearly still belongs to Tom Waits.

:P

[2bfree]

18. Ewwwwwww!

He really turns my stomach. Ugh!

[Enraged_Ape]

21. Hey, if I were a gay male high-school kid with a closet geek fetish...

I'd probably be on Clay like a duck on a june bug. He'd be hotter than the proverbial two-dollar pistol on a Saturday night.

[CandyCrim21]

22. Um........NO!

:puke:
