The show was a great tribute to songs from the last four decades. Both Clay and Ruben worked so well together and really complimented each other's styles. I could have done without all the comedy schtick through. I would have also liked it had they spent a little time each doing some of their own songs from their own CDs they released.
This was an amazing concert. Clay and Ruben have outstanding voices. Their chemistry together was excellent - lots of great comedy between the songs.
I loved the show! So much energy, humor, great voices. A huge variety of music and styles, there was something for everyone! I wish I could go again. Ruben and Clay are a hoot together. They sang their hearts out. The band rocked and so did the back up singers, too!
WooHoo!!!! This is great, I don't want to spoil it.
. It was a GREAT show. T hey are both true professioanls I love their voices. Clay is as strong as ever and Ruben as sexy as ever. Their chemistry and mutal admiration is evident and adds to the entertainment. My daughter says AWESOME.. Great song choices. Not pitchy at all. RIGHT ON DAWG!!!!!!! Either can go all the way.
Clay and Rubin did an incredible job of entertaining the audience with music from four decades - everyone was thrilled with the selections. A great amount of humor was threaded throughout the concert and audience participation was encouraged. Also the fantastic back-up singers had a chance to do solos and they were amazing singers. My husband and I give thumbs up to a wonderful performance by all!!!!
I thought I was going to see a headliner and an opening act, boy was I wrong! Great show, great format with both of them performing together most of the show. We went in as Clay fans, and came out as Ruben fans too. Fantastic music selection, really top show.
This was an unforgettable concert!!! Clay and Ruben Rocked!!!! It was very upbeat and high energy. The banter between Clay and Ruben was hysterical. They could be the next Martin & Lewis, with Ruben being the straight man and Clay the comic. Being a avid Clay fan, I thought he was great, but Ruben was fantastic. The backup singers held their own with Clay & Ruben. The whole concert was so much fun.
Hilarious, wonderful, unforgettable! The two of them together had great chemistry, and sang fantastically. Their physical comedy skills were unreal. Their backup singers, Quiana Parler and Casey Thompson, were amazing, too. It was a very professional, entertaining show. I'll be seeing it again in Hammond, and can't wait!
The music was great, the singers were great, the chemistry was great, even the backup singers when they joined Clay and Ruben were great. The show provided a variety and quality I would expect from a Vegas show with 60's style.
Being a Ruben fan was not sure what to expect with Clay. It was great. The banter between them was so cute. Ruben was great and Clay was even good. The band and backup singers were really good also. So glad I went. A very enjoyable evening. Would go see it again.
If there was any question who really won American Idol-it was made clear in the concert on Tuesday. Clay was amazing. Rueben had a number of standout moments. The entire concert was planned perfectly. Wouldn't change a thing. Knockout time.
Clay and Ruben were fantastic together: the humor, the harmonizing, the pace, the script, the song choice and theme--everything. The band was also great. I hope they get their own variety show on TV someday and KEEP SINGING!
I truly enjoy Clay and Ruben together. I am a Clay fan but love Ruben, too. It says much for the two men that they have stayed friends since their Idol days and this shows in how they interact on stage. Clay shows his wide vocal range from Pop to Rock to Easy Listening and Oldies. Ruben has come a long way as a performer. He has developed good stage presence that wasn't evident on Idol. His voice is smooth and versatile. Clay is a born performer. I hope the music industry holds it own so he will have more chances to show his amazing talent to new audiences.
Clay and Ruben were funny and very entertaining. The music was awesome. They were onstage together a lot and they covered 4 decades of music. I'm 62 and I screamed like a girl!
OH, those voices. I was impressed by how strong, resonant, on-pitch and WONDERFUL Clay's and Ruben's voices were in person. I had only seen them on TV before last night, and they're even more impressive in person. The power behind those perfect voices is mind-boggling, and I found myself wanting to hear more, more, more. The concert consisted of song montages, grouped by decade, with Clay and Ruben taking turns on lead. In between each decade, one or both of the guys would do a full solo or duet song. I far preferred the full songs. The montages, though sung perfectly, were bordering on cheesy variety show in feel. I do believe this was part of the intent, for them not to take themselves or the show too seriously, but it was almost a little bit too much. Clay and Ruben did comedy bits, for lack of a better phrase, in between the songs. They were mildly funny, and quite endearing, honestly, for a fan like me. But they weren't very polished, and the material was not first-rate. I'm just being honest; I didn't mind any of it one bit, but I do think unless you're truly a Clay or Ruben fan, you might find it stale or slow. I kind of welcomed the break from the decibels. Like I said, I think they made a purposeful effort to make the show approachable, not too high-brow, not take themselves too seriously, etc. They made a nod or two at Clay's homosexuality during the "comedy bit" portions of the show. I wasn't sure what the purpose was, and kept trying to figure out if they were trying to diffuse any discomfort there might be among his audience about it, or trying to frame it in a lighthearted "Yes, I'm gay, but I'm still the same Clay you always knew" kind of light. It seemed somehow off the mark, to me, though, but not a big deal. I found the venue to be maybe a bit too small for their sound. It was LOUD. Ear-piercingly LOUD. And I was near the back of the balcony. I'm guessing those down front were in pain. The band was EXCELLENT. I don't know who the band is, but they are top-notch, and I think the live band was essential for a show like this. If it had been just the two guys and piped-in music, it would've been a disappointment, even with those voices. The backup singers had impressive voices and held their own with Clay and Ruben. They were truly VERY impressive, belting out songs by artists like Aretha Franklin and pulling them off beautifully. BUT, they could sure use a lesson in style or stage presence. For me, they were quite distracting, visually and detracted from the classiness of the performance. If I had one negative thing to say about Clay and/or Ruben it would only be this little bit: Please wait until the audience stops laughing before continuing with the next line!! I missed a good bit of the comedy bits, just because they seemed rushed and didn't wait for the audience noise to die down before proceeding. Even when the audience was silent, they were sometimes speaking too quickly, or holding the mike too far from their mouths during the talking parts. This could easily be fixed to make the show far more enjoyable. To recap: AMAZING, perfect, addictive voices. The talent in the room was beyond belief. There is a lot more these two could do with that talent... and hopefully they will. :) I overheard this from one young lady as we were filing out of the theater: "My face hurts from smiling too much!" That's definitely a sign of a good concert experience. :)
I expected great singing from these two (and was not disappointed), what I didn't expect was the humor. These two are regular comedians. It's clear that Clay & Ruben are great friends and it shows in their witty banter and impromptu conversations with the audience. The play beautifully off each other. Fun musical medleys, something for everyone
Fantastic show! What a dynamic pair. Hope they tour together again soon!
What a charismatic duo Clay and Ruben were! I grew up with TV variety shows - we need to bring them back and start with the Cluben Show. Not only do these guys know how to sing, they are ding dang funny as a comedy team. My 19 year old daughter came to their show the following night in LA and was surprised that she knew all the songs and really enjoyed her self. Me too! I've watched these guys for 7 years since their rise to stardom on American Idol in 2003. They are both consummate performers and the banter gets better with each show. Rueben sings smooth as silk, Clay can touch you with a slow song and then turn on a dime and belt out "Africa" from Toto. Is there anything he can't do? Shout out to the band - they rock!
The whole show was the two of them trying to show-up the other guy with singing, dancing skills, teasing and smart alec remarks, etc. It was hilarious! Their voices were top notch. Great show!
