Why they might be annoying:

    He sweats profusely while performing.
    He grins widely while singing sad songs like 'Breaking Up is Hard to Do.'
    Many of his shirts have the number '205' on them, which is his hometown area code.
    Although it was against American Idol rules he accepted payment to wear the '205' jerseys.
    His competitors were criticized by the judges for making mistakes that Ruben also made (such as forgetting lyrics). However, Ruben's mistakes were rarely, if ever, pointed out.

Why they might not be annoying:

    He is a talented vocalist.
    He is good friends with his runner-up, Clay Aiken.
    He is nice to his mom and proud of his hometown.
