I hope we don't have YouTube gold from now to Jan. 1 or else this video would be more useless than it already is. Thanks omgblog for the lead.

THE MENU: Ruben Studdard
In summer 2004, I wrote copy for the website of a TV show called THE MENU, which provided vapid content to tweens about their "favorite" music, movies, TV shows, and stars -- and by favorite, I mean, whatever advertiser ponied up the most cash that week.
It was my job to write an article about each of them. Per popular demand, I will be reprinting some of these paragons of journalism with accompanying videos.
Ruben Studdard has done it all-- from performing with his mother in a Baptist church at age three, to igniting local clubs as a jazz singer. And, oh yeah, he was on a little television show called American Idol, where 24 million viewers crowned him as pop’s next superstar. Now signed to J Records (alongside his own idol, Luther Vandross), his first album Soulful has been blazing up the charts. But don’t expect the laid-back Velvet Teddy Bear from the 205 (that’s area code-speak for his home state of Alabama) to cool off. He’s been touring the country, dazzling audiences with his butter-smooth R&B style.
Ruben took time out of his busy schedule to kick it with THE MENU. He talked on what every American Idol hopeful needs, and gave an Idol-worthy performance of his hot new song, “What If.”
