Several interesting articles on all contestants (especially the voting) at:
http://www.foxesonidol.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl

And more articles at:
http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=2&page=page1062.php

I hope you find the articles as interesting as I did
...both sites seem to have a lot of info on the show and the contestants
...although the foxes site does have more current news

Thanks Nanarobin and Sadiesmom for the links!

I'm happy that the article I posted was as enjoyable to those that read it as it was to me.

Goooooo Clay!

Wcv...I did enjoy the article you posted, as not sure I saw it on the two sites I mentioned above..I am always happy for any info about the show. Some of the articles without the URL have disappeared...sorry to have missed them!!

Thanks to everyone who posted articles and url links. Waiting for final on Wed. is getting harder by the day with all the hype. BUT...we all love it! Go Clay!!!

Nana....some people like to remain unspoiled that is why I added the "those who read it" portion of my message.

And I totally agree with your above post. Here's a little wing rub since I generally don't "do tails." Hee!

Yay Clay!

He is wearing his 1200 dollar jacket from grease. LOL
Waste not want not.
How did you find this? I am impressed.

Voting seems to differ in difficulty depending on where you are. Many have cited having trouble getting through although they tried the full two hours. I got a group of friends and relatives in four states to vote and all had different totals. I managed to get through 64 times voting on two separate phones (landline and cell at the same time), my friend in Ohio got through more than 70 times, my daughter in Michigan 25 times and my sister in Mass only 5 times. The trick is to be persistent. Clay will need every vote this week so we all plan to pull out all the stops and vote as much as the lines will allow. BTW, all of us are rabid Clay fans who think he deserves to win this on talent alone. Simon is wrong!!

I have been a member of the TV Clubhouse all through the last three Big Brother but I usually wander off during the rest of the year. Imagine my surprise when I did a google search of Clay Aiken Fan Club and I found a link back to here. Gee it feels like coming home.

Nice to see all you guys and

GO CLAY!!!!

Nice to see you, Floresmama!

Nanarobin, I'm patting your little feathered head right now!

Thanks for all the wonderful links everyone. Have a great Saturday.

After WCV posted the album link, I looked in Amazon. People are voting with their wallets now. Clay's single is #14 already, pretty good for one day sales. Don't know out of how many. I bet people are buying extra copies to make it number one. Very rabid fans in some places.

Wcw....ok...I went to your link and placed an advanced order...to ensure I got it...thanks so much for finding it. I never know if such items make it to our area. It would be remarkable if it make it to top of charts AND he does win, eh??!!

THANKS THANKS THANKS for finding and posting...

UH, now it is the # 2 top seller at Amazon. Hmmmm
Wonder if Simon is trying to figure out how to market Clay now?

Nanarobin

Wanna bet there is a Ruben single out there by the beginning of the week??? Bet Simon is having a fit at this early intro!! Hoping it gets to #1 seller before end of AI..GO CLAY-mates!!

Hurry, June 3...as that song is about the shortest clip on the Clay webiste...and it is one of my favorite songs.

There is already a single for Ruben listed at Amazon.com. The release date for his single CD is the same as Clay's - June 3rd.

Edited to say that Ruben's CD is listed at 2,178 on the list.

The albums are set to release together. I am surethey are both signed now. I though I heard someone say they were not cutting (Is that still the correct phrase now that we are not using wax?) CDs just yet. To get them out on time, they better be done now.

I see Clay's single just made #1 in sales today at Amazon. More expensive than Tower, but they rate the sales.

Sadiesmom...ditto...all you said....I went over to the other threads to read spoilers and Ruben and saw that he also had a cd to come out...I might have to order that, as well, for my Ruben supporter neice....wish now, that I'd waited, as the shipping was almost as much as the single!! Maybe I can call and change my order.

Guess with both singles to come out, it should be interesting to keep up with the pre-sales.

Having read the spoiler links from above..it was very interesting for an ole (not OLD) 58 yr old woman to read....OH, MY HECK...I would love to be there with them, too!! Am I nutes or what??? OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!!?? ha ha ha...BUT..to know what I do know now!!


{{Robin shakes a tail feather...and waves with wing...then nods head recently petted by Hermoine, all to wish Clay good luck!!}}

OK...GOTTA APOLOGIZE for my Simon/Ruben comments above...it DOES make sense that now that both guys are signed, that they could release cds at same time...funny that just mention of it on the website....makes Clay's #1 and right now Ruben is #386 on Amazon.

Tell me AI does not have tons of fans!!

{{ again, shakes happy tail feathers }}

Nana, soon, I will be your age, too. When I look at sail boats, I think how nice it would be not to have arthritis and to jump on a boat with all that energy and drive and sail away from all my cares, like I used to. Now it is a challenge taking care of my life.

Nana, as they say in the real estate business, "Location, location, location." If you were closer to the action, I'd bet you'd be there, too, with a great sign!

I'm very close to your age, and within the constraints of having a full-time job, I do as much following my obsessions as work will allow. For example, I traveled to Durham, North Carolina from CT in February to watch Duke play my beloved women Huskies in a great basketball game (we won). The bus driver took us past the Durham Bulls ball park to show us the place made famous by the movie "Bull Durham". Now I'll always remember it as the place where Clay sang the National Anthem and threw out the first pitch!

When I go see the American Idol tour perform in Hartford, I'll be wearing my Univ. of North Carolina hat in honor of Clay.

Sadiesmom, you may not have the energy or good health to drive or sail away from your trials, but I'll bet you have some wonderful memories. You are young at heart and are able to enjoy life to the best of your abilities, including sharing some joy with those of us here. I love your links, photos, etc.

Hi, Hermione! Happy to see you around and glad that you are also a Clay fan!

Just checked Amazon: Clay is holding at #1, Ruben is #240, and Kimberley doesn't have anything ready yet. I fully expect her to put out a CD soon which also will become popular.

Chiparock, I have been meaning to tell you how nice it is to see you as well! Yay! It has been a busy couple of days. I just got home from a day at my sister's and thought I would pop in before retiring. I have a touch of a sore throat, but I think it is just allergies.

I have to go check out all the links now. I am still catching up!

BTW, Ruben and Clay finished neck and neck at the ET online poll! This is going to be a close one!
