That's it! Clay's hair looks a lot like Bobby Sherman "back in the day."

Clay asks for our help:

I just received this email from my best friend. I will copy and paste it here and if you could pass it along to others would be appreciated.

Thanks
Clay is the UNICEF ambassador for the education of children everywhere and his heart is always with the kids. He blogged yesterday asking us for monetary help with UNICEF for the kids in Lebanon. I don't think he has ever in 3 years asked us for money, so I know it is important for the cause and to him. I will post a little bit of each of his three blogs that he did yesterday and would appreciate it you could post for the Claymates on your board. Although they probably already know.



His words:

As I am sure you are aware, hostilities in the Middle East are continuing and innocent children are bearing the brunt of the conflict. More than a third of those already killed and injured have been children. 38 tons of emergency supplies-including essential medicines as well as water and sanitation kits-were sent from UNICEF's warehouse in Copenhagen over the weekend. UNICEF staff on the ground are working around the clock to deliver aid to the children and families isolated by the destruction of roads and bridges. UNICEF still needs $23.8 million to save and protect the children caught in this crisis.

CLAYMATES UNITE!!

I've told my friends and colleagues at UNICEF just how motivated and supportive you all are. I tried to explain just how wonderful and driven you can be when it comes to supporting causes that are important, like the world's children.
To test my theory, they have set up a special link specifically for us to use to help out with the Lebanon crisis I talked about in my last blog.

http://www.unicefusa.org/site/lookup.asp?c=duLRI8O0H&b=1859535&msource=0706LClay

For those of you having trouble....

copy and paste this exact link into your browser's address bar.

This will take you to the same site as others use to donate to UNICEF, but it will also keep track of how much money is donated by fan club members and those who we tell to use this link.

You guys are the GREATEST fans in the world!!

Wow - an update on the campaign

This is an update that my friend gave me to let you all know

Could you let your board know that this is what Claymates have done so far since yesterday afternoon. Clay is a wee bit excited!!

....$47,556.96

that's 254 school-in-a-box kits serving 20,338 children

or

195 emergency health kits for 194,906 people for 3 months

WAY TO GO CLAYMATES!!

this is from Rosie O'Donnell's blog today:

Carolyn writes:

Did ya hear? Claymates united and raised over $47,000 in less than 24 hours for UNICEF in Clay’s name for kids of Lebanon. He challenged us and we came thru in a BIG WAY! He is true measure of a man.

Rosie answers:
and i will match that amount
47,000 dollars

Well the Unicef money was up to 66K this morning when Clay blogged again - announcing the album will definitely come out 9/19, which oddly enough is the area code for Raleigh, NC.

Shortly after posting this information, two songs popped up on promosquad. A thousand days and I want to Know Waht Love Is - a duet with Suzie McNeil of Rock Star fame. Now Promosquad takes songs and cuts them up so you don't hear the whole song, but different parts of it, out of order. These songs have been ripped, is it permitted to post a link to copies of them? I have them uploaded already.

Did anyone see ET last night? They shows a photo shoot for Clay's new album and said it would contain 4 new songs and 10 covers of love songs from the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

I'm not sure what I think of that. I wonder why not all new songs? Perhaps due to the success Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow have had recently with cover songs? I wonder what the 10 songs will be? It seemed like they showed him singing a Richard Marx song???

Um, I just thought I'd mention that Amazon is taking pre-orders. The price is less than ten dollars. If you're buying something else, and the total comes to $25.01 or more, there's free shipping, of course. I can hardly wait, to get mine:-)

I just got done listening to his new release on his myspace site..... While I love Clay-his music and voice often give me chills-I was disappointed in the first half of the song. It was too bland, too simple. I could just imagine the AI judges shrugging their shoulders and telling him at least he brought it home in the end. What I love most about Clay's music is his ability to make a song his own but the first half of that song was just boring. :-( Loved the end. Eh about the beginning.

you should listen to he clear channel screening of the album. For some reason, the most unaltered song was chosen for the first single.
I always disliked Sorry is the saddest word, but the version on the album is tender and the voice is like an instrument. My personal favorite.

I watched it this morning, he was great. I loved the way him and Howie were back and forth.

Also loved the song. My birthday is on Wednesday and my best friend is going to buy me the cd for my birthday :-) - cannot wait as I have not went to any sites to get a listen to any of the songs. So the only song that I have heard is the one he sang last night...and so awesome.

His interview was so funny! I had forgotten how humorous he is, and Howie just added to it. I was amused that he still sits on his foot, lol.
