 Released December 12, 2003 Shit that's 10 years ago last week. It really deserves its own thread. Live performance from 2012: ITS STILL 2004 FOR HIM DAMMIT! |

What type of strange was he about to get into that he felt the need to apologize for an entire year BEFORE that year even started? And he's still singing about it 10 years later! There needs to be an autobiography focused solely on Ruben's 2004.

So, I just checked Amazon, and I am absolutely floored that "Sorry 2004" didn't make it on to a single Now compilation.

I hated this song. I still do, 10 years later.
Granted, "If I was Invisible" is creepy as hell*, but Clay got the much better song, still.
*"If I was invisible, I would watch you in your room" and later "Wait, I already am." So he is already watching us in our rooms. That's not weird or anything.

The actual music video is so weird too. The kids in the "sorry" shirts.

That was the one season of 'Idol' that I watched.
After watching the better singer lose due to a high-schoolesque popularity contest, that was it for me.

Clay's A-game was better but Rueben was the more consistent performer. I can understand him winning, but that was easily the closest vote ever and the phonelines were clogged a ton. It was pretty-much a coin-flip as to who won.
That was a horrible song. Should've had another song apologizing for Sorry for 2004.

Clay Aiken was robbed, and it's been obvious since he actually somewhat has a career in comparison to Ruben. I refuse to watch any singing show after Clay Aiken's robbing, dammit.

As someone named Ruben, Ruben Studdard ruined my life for a solid 2 or 3 years until everyone forgot about him. That's what he needs to apologize for.

This song is the best and I will fight anybody who disagrees in the street.

The Ruben/Clay stuff was the only time I've ever watched American Idol. I liked Ruben at the time, but he's clearly been the biggest disappointment of all the American Idol winners.

I graduated high school in 2004 so that song brings back memories of my senior year of high school.
One I remember most was being on the school bus the morning after the Superbowl and they played the intro but when they got to the singing part someone on the radio done a Ruben Studdard impression going "It's like tryin' to watch the game, and out pops a breast" Everyone on the bus busted out in laughter even the driver. Of course this was the morning after Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

I think any idol winner who hasn't gone on to at least a medium amount of success should be partially stripped of the win and it be held with the runner up as co-winners.
There's a few winners you rarely hear of. I would say Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson are the most successful with Carrie seeming to have bit more success.

Taylor Hicks and Ruben played together at Workplay down here in B'ham not long ago and so did David Cook. They are alive if anyone is wondering lol.
