Ruben looks great, he lost a lot of weight. 👍. Both Clay and Ruben sang beautifully🙏

[@davidmiller3190]

cute then, too--shoulda won, then. peace. all great!

[@adriennesales6869]

Edwina Godwin I love them two together! They sound great.

[@KempireRadio]

A time when American Idol created real singers and stars.

[@Lollii_Popp]

Yes indeed

[@vanessacopland]

For sure.... 16 years ago to be exact.

[@sandra-jones]

American Idol has always produced excellent singers. What they did with their careers is a different story. It's the most successful mondern signing talent competition around.

[@MsTrish627]

Yup

[@Fusdew]

sandra Jones American Idol hasn’t produced a star since Phillip Phillips. Isn’t the point of the show, to find idols not just good singers?

[@veronicanevarez22]

That note Clay sang was heavenly 💙💙

[@danielleelizaharpz]

I got chills.. goosebumps. My lord his voice is something special.

[@carolynminter7839]

[@BreezeWithAfrica]

Yess!! Girl

[@BreezeWithAfrica]

You seem like straight to the point lady! I would love for you to stop by my channel and give me your opinion❤️

[@scm0717]

The Velvet Teddy Bear, as Gladys Knight called him. SOOOO appropriate. I always think of Luther Vandross when I hear Ruben sing.

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

Ruben is so UnderRated

[@brendajohnson5064]

Yes HE is. All he needs is for someone to get behind him and write for him.

[@BlessingsThatFlows]

Yes, plus the music industry and discrimination is ridiculous.

[@simonsezme]

Definitely not, that's why he won...he just needs better ppl behind him

[@janiceferguson1400]

He should step up for Luther.

[@kattatonic1]

I love them smiling at each other, thoroughly enjoying singing a beautiful song together with their gifts.

[@astridab]

[@TheDivineStyles]

I voted for Ruben! They was hitting them DiVINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

[@brendalane9221]

Who gave this a thumbs down? These guys are among the best of what Idol produced in its early years.

[@talithiamcleod5108]

I KNOW RIGHT!!! SMH

[@johnwiesner9590]

But Carrie Underwood is the best thing to ever happen to American Idol.

[@mszan1]

Someone who obviously don't know talent

[@rhondaturner3908]

That's when American Idol had talented singers without all the embellishments. Just raw talet.

[@femialexwilliams9571]

Every season has talent, they just are not invested in like the earlier contestants

[@a.k.4085]

Ruben looks fabulous!!! And Clay looks SO grown up. Wow.

[@barbarabueno81]

WOW THE HARMONY!!!!

[@SusanScrapPassion]

Love these guys. It is hard to understand why their careers were not as full as we imagined they would be. But, a show on Broadway is nothing to complain about.

[@BreezeWithAfrica]

That’s why Ruben tours in a Luther Vandross Tribute!

Not a ‘tour’. A week or so of a. Holiday-themed show. It’s going to be just in NYC, on Broadway, like last years’.

[@pamelagentile1106]

They hope to take their Christmas show on the road (tour) next year. Last years Christmas show on Broadway in NYC was a one time event.

[@GarageStudio7]

2:57 👑 4:02 They deserve much more recognition! ✨

[@rosiepena8917]

Ruben Studdard looks and sounds amazing! 👏👏👏 Clay started off kind of shaky but then he redeemed himself at the end. Their harmony sounds great!

[@margaretdasilva5493]

Beautiful. My favourite performance by Clay and Ruben since "Jesus is Love".

[@Cpw819]

They are both phenomenal but holy crap Clays breath support at the end he held that not for forever and Ruben ran out of breath what the heck Clay! lol And the high note he hit before the end and still held it omg amazing! And they didn't rehearse whatttt such true talent!

[@dlclcn5021]

Ruben needs to learn breath control from Clay. Clay has some lungs on him!!

[@TheRealAmythyst]

This is like watching your classmates alums at the 20th class reunion when all the heavier kids loose weight and all the skinny ones "catch up" and EVERYONE IS SLIGHTLY RECOGNIZABLE because we all look like teachers!! 🙌🏾😘🤦🏿🤷🏾🤣 Love it!

[@dawntee208]

These two are simply awwe-mazingggggg, Love them much!!! What voices, I so wish I could bottle and store away! #realtalent!!!

[@YasminAbdull]

When you sound that good without rehearsing! Goodness!

[@isrberlinerin4063]

I love Rubens voice and it is my favorite Christmas Song .

[@nascarkraz]

Ruben looks fab! They sang this much better this year than last year . Cay hit that note perfectly . :)

[@dlclcn5021]

I have to agree. For whatever reason Clay's voice was much sharper this time (2019) than it was in 2018.

[@tadef123]

Wow.... what a beautiful duet with 2 of my💕favs💕 Ruben makes my heart warm with his lovely voice ❤❤❤him, and I can't wait for new albums to come from these two heart throbs

I was hoping they were doing their Christmas show again this season. But happy to hear it is coming back.
