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.
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. 🥲🥲❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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
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.
I agree with simon, he did good but the only thing was he needed to slow it down like Luther make love to the song, kind of sounds like he was rushing through it
why isn't Ruben singing this type of music now? Ruben, cut the gospel stuff & stick to giving us this Luther Vandross type stuff, it is where you shine & bring us the magic : ) !!! Needless to say I loved this, love hearing Rubin sing Luther : )..
He did good... Sounded a little tired or something but overall he did good- Simon was right and Ruben agreed. Luther just had a way of drawing you into his voice, it was more than just a melody to him when he sang he had a tremendous voice but he could tell that story and capture with the voice and the conviction. Like a person who can spark a good conversation and keep you involved. To me, Mary J Blige tells a story and draws you in because deep within- she has a conviction with her songs. It wasn’t deep within Ruben at the moment because I think he was nervous and that alright. But way better than I could ever do lol
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 sure would be very proud of Ruben he did this so lovely
I can’t believe this man didn’t become an absolute star. Top 5 voices I’ve ever heard.
he is a star
Man, that was incredible. He hit those notes flawlessly...what a talented brother.
Ruben doing his thing vocally, it never gets old, we need more like him for real👍😎
He Has Always Had An Amazing Voice!!!!
Ruben can sing anything!!!😘😘😘 Love how he's always smiling while he's singing!!.
That’s his pure heart. He will is a kind soul.
That is a hard song to sing and Reuben killed it!!!!!
Not many can copy the great Luther and this man aced this song he won my heart this night!
One of my favorite contemporary male voices. He hits so many wonderful notes!! Effortless

This song brings tears to my eyes. This will ALWAYS belong to Luther and only Ruben can borrow it!!!

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.

He had me ...a chair...

It wasn’t deep within Ruben at the moment because I think he was nervous and that alright. But way better than I could ever do lol
ruben had some performances where he really connected and i agree with you that he didn’t entirely connect to this one
Yessssssss
Man I was in the military watching this in barracks
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ruben could have been a bigger star...if he had better writers for him..His voice is amazing
Q one very much agree with you 🎵🎶🎼
