Man this brings back so many memories!! Season 2 and 3 were by far my favorite! In 2019 this is still giving me chills! You better SANG! Giving me all the "Big Lutha" vibes lol.
Looking back at these clips, especially this song and A Home Is Not a Home I am having the chills I had the night he performed this amazing song. 🥲🥲❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It’s true. That wasn’t his best. He sounds better now. Everyone has off days sometimes. He’s still very talented. Can’t wait to see him perform this week.
This guy should be on the radio everyday, unfortunately R&B is not as popular as it used to be. A lot people do not appreciate good music. It is a shame that someone with this talent can't make it and people with no talent make it big. Music companies would rather give contracts to people who have to use auto tune or people who swear a lot over someone who has immense talent like Ruben Studdard. That is why I do not listen to contemporary radio stations. I listen to a radio station that plays music from the 60s, 70s and 80s where actual musical talent was appreciated.
Love Ruben. His voice is so smooth, soulful& he has power.He sounds like Fred Hammond. I would love to hear him sing "No Weapon"..Great performance😚😙😊😊
Ryan, you have had a wonderful, successful career, but I think you are still gorgeous. Please highlight your hair again!!!! We all grew to love you when you started with Idol. Very happy for your success and I tell my husband all the time you are the Dick Clark of this century. Blessings always. Caroline
I remember this like it was yesterday where life was so simple, No extra social media, Rushing to sit on the couch hearing the music of American Idol.
I learned to play guitar along with the songs they would choose. This was a classic show
👍
Brought back good memories for me.
So true
Facts
Luther Vandross would be so proud of Ruben and the beautiful justice he gives when he sings a Luther song or any song👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes he would be
I can’t believe this man didn’t become an absolute star. Top 5 voices I’ve ever heard.

Man, that was incredible. He hit those notes flawlessly...what a talented brother.

I ABSOLUTELY Love Luther, but I Totally Love, how Rueben, put his own twist, and sound to this song. He made it his own.

This is the best cover of this song that I’ve heard
Look up "Jaheim A House Is Not a Home"
@@googleme7754
I was just gettin ready to say!! They betta checkout Jaheim's (sp?)version, too! Not comparin', just sayin! LoL
#heDIDthat
Luther's version is a cover. First sang by Burt Bacharch and Dionne Warwick covered the song. Luther's version is the best cover.
