omg ace young is sooo drop-dead gorgeous! sooo h-o-t-t hot!

*Like Carrie Bradshaw* Hello Lova!

I bet he wishes he was Chris Daughtry, lol.
Who knew the bald, brown eyed, short man would so trump the classic hunk.
Daughtry all the way….. Ace Young is boring.

It’s great to see Ace really getting into his role of Kenickie. He is playing it well and looks the part. Ace is a genuine person and can laugh at himself which is anything but vain. The only thing he is into… is playing Kenickie the best way he can… as a BADASS!

Looks good but………he isooooooo in loe with himself. ugh!

Give it up loser @ 09/12/2008 at 2:33 am

He will do as well as Crapenstien Maroulous did on Broadway. These American Idol folks need to give it a rest already. Kelly, Fantasia, Carrie are the only real winners of the show.

Ace is absolutely not the least bit in love with himself. You people who say that…do you know anything AT ALL about him?????
He is the most down to earth, gracious, and charitable person you will ever meet. Just because he’s gorgeous, please don’t make judgements about his character.

Uh, I’ll take playful charismatic Ace any day. You can have boring Daughtry.

soooo cute. I love him

Sooooo, let’s see. Because he’s good looking, you automatically assume he’s full of himself. Talk about shallow.

what the heck does daughtry have to do w/this? never fails..a daughtry fan comes in and thinks this is all about wanting to trump daughtry…NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THAT LOUD, OBNOXIOUS LOSER!

Why this immature bickering over the 2 of the greatest friends in AI history? Ace and Chris Daughtry each have their great accomplishments, including a Grammy nomination, remember? Let’s stop this immature bickering and be happy for the successes of the other and support each other. Ace would encourage his fans to do so.
