I ordered my CD from Amazon on Aug 3rd. Just notified it shipped yesterday, will get here Sept 28th. Ticked. So I'm going to Walmart to buy one tonight. So much for pre-ordering.

I was hoping more people would comment on the new CD..... Well, I will be one of the first, then. I think it was a mistake to do so many re-makes. Even though he put his own spin on them, if someone (like me) is tired of the song, even a revision won't be enough to make me want to listen to many (if not most) of them. I really like, okay love, his new songs. I wish wish wish he had done more original songs. I'm disappointed, but that doesn't mean I won't be on the look out for more from him. His voice is awesome. His manager/whomever.......mabye not so much. JMHO.

Clay Aiken was just singing his song on The View, even though it is a new version of an old song. OMG he sang it so beautifully. I am going to get his new CD. He can sing any old versions he wants as long as he can keep bringing it as he did with this song. I would like to hear new stuff from him too, but WOW, loved the song he sang and his version even so much better.

Highlighter, I agree. I just picked up the CD last night. Have only had a chance to hear it once all the way through, so my opinion may change as I listen to it repeatedly.
A couple of the songs that I really loved the original versions of I also loved Clay's versions. Others that weren't particular favorites in their original form I didn't like much better with Clay singing them.
However, I love all of the new, original songs and my favorite is the one that's the 2nd to last song (sorry, the CD case is in the car and the name escapes me).
In any event, it's wonderful just to hear Clay again singing different songs. It was a much too long wait for this new CD.

Have any of you downloaded from Itunes?
If you download the album from there, you get another original song - Lover All Alone that Clay, David Foster and Eman wrote together, very nice song that was cut from the album near the end.

Of course, if you bought your album at Kmart, you would get a free download of If You Don't Know Me By Now. I spent the day scouring the local Kmarts to buy copies for some people.

Oddly enough, I thought I would not be so fond of some songs, but I love them now when I hated them before - Sorry is my favorite, who knew it could be so tender and Dolly Partons is nicely different, I strongly disliked the Dolly version because my local station over played it.

I guess my least favorite is Without You, although the View version is my favorite live version.

If you haven't seen the
http://soundcheck.walmart.com/. you should check it out. The interviews were pretty amusing. I watched other sound checks and they seemed more - boring....traditional... ok? Clay's intro is pretty funny.

I was watching the Larry King interview with some friends, we sort of had some bets going. The one who predicted he would ask if Clay kept in touch with Ruben won. I lost. I thought he would ask Clay if he "saw the card". I guess Larry King was more prepared than usual. I was not expecting a 45 minute interview and they covered a lot of material, they just did not get to the Presidential appointment, but pretty much covered everything else.

What happened to Clay's CD? There are some *awesome* songs on it, yet I hear nothing, absolutely nothing, over the airwaves! Did they completely blow it in releasing such a dud song? His original ones are really good, and should have been hits on their own. I'm bummed for him. Fire his advisors, is what he needs to do.

Clay Aiken to Appear on Days of Our Lives
FRIDAY OCTOBER 27, 2006 08:40AM EST

Claymates will get a special Christmas present this year: Clay Aiken will be appearing on the NBC daytime drama Days of our Lives as himself, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

On the show, the American Idol phenomenon will perform "Everything I Have," a song from his new album, as part of a private concert for Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) in the local Salem club called Dune.

Aiken, whose album A Thousand Different Ways was released last month, will also have his version of "O, Holy Night" from his 2004 album Merry Christmas with Love featured in the episode, which will tape Nov. 14 and air on Dec. 22.

Clay also has a Christmas EP coming out on November 28th. It will be available exclusively through Walmart and it will only be sold in the USA. I think it will be selling for $4.99 as it only has four songs on it, two of them being "My Grownup Christmas List" and "Emmanuel".

It look's like Clay's stint on Regis and Kelly may be one he wished he could have missed. I was never really a fan of Kelly Ripa, but I think she took things a little too far this morning by taking several minutes to rip apart Clay and now I flat out just don't like her at all.

The incident on Friday while Clay was hosting.

And today Kelly rips him apart while he's not there.

I think Kelly owes Clay an apology. If she had let him get a word in edgewise...he had just said something about wanting to ask a question and she just kept on going!

I've always been a Kelly fan, but she was totally dominating the interview.

Where Kelly went wrong was to stir the matter by publicly saying her piece. If she's annoyed, she would have better served her fans and Clay's fans by talking this over directly with him. To use her show as a forum to spew rankles the heck out of me. I probably won't watch the program again until she admits that what she did was doubly wrong. I think it is doubly wrong because she's had more time in the business; she is the talk-shot host; she knows the ropes. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Regis when she started in. Very unprofessional of her!

I just watched that clip and if I were Kelly and he put his hand over my mouth like that he might draw back a nub. You don't touch people like that unless you know them very well and, like she said, we don't know where that hand has been ~ in soap and hot water or not.

I did not see a clip of her later statements but from the above clip that I did see I thought she was professional in handling it. She didn't even knock him off his stool. What more do you want?

ChilliWilli -- I agree that she handled it well at the time of the show, but she obviously stewed about it over the weekend and then went on a rant about it on Monday. Not fair to Clay since he was not there to defend himself or apologize. She could have settled things backstage, after the show.
