Aww...good for you Ketchuplover!

I was thinking earlier about how much I enjoy Clay's singing. I taped a show a couple weeks ago and found myself replaying the part with Clay over and over...his singing hits me deeply and I just don't get that from any of the others.

ketchuplover....
do you think.....


"He's the winner."

or do you reserve that guess only for every single contestant on survivor? lol

Maybe, Tabby. He may be jumping on everyone's bandwagon just to hedge his bets like he did in Survivor, LOL!

I enjoyed last night's show, even with the fake-out. They looked like they are having fun and they seem to have good rapport. I noticed that both Clay and Ruben looked extremely nervous when Ryan was getting ready to announce whether they were in the bottom three. I thought that was so sweet! I was like, "RELAX! You are safe!" Although I did get just a little nervous for Clay because at that point he was the only guy left and I didn't know if the bottom three would really all be women.

Some of my students have a crush on Clay so he apparently appeals to the "teeny bopper" crowd in some way!

I like that this thread is a warm, welcoming place and that we don't put down other contestants here just because we like others more. :) Thanks, guys!

Oh, and Clay danced last night! Wasn't that cute?

Herm - I thought you would like that little shuffle he did at the end of the show... I thought he might have "White-Boy" syndrome, thus the reason that he doesn't move too much on stage - and my thoughts seemed to be confirmed last night - that just makes me adore him even more!!!

OK, add me to the Clay fan club too! This guy has it all, except maybe for the dancing part and I can't see that on a CD. IMO he's far above the other singers.

My all time favorite singer is Neil Diamond, you know, Holly Holy and all that. At frist take, he's not a looker, but his voice is soooo good to listen to. Clay has this potential and more IMO.

Hi again Jeep!!

Oh, I am happy today! So many people coming in here made me smile!

I also need to get out of the AI thread and get some work done. Phooey. So unjust, isn't it??

But first, one more picture.

(I LOVE his ears! Very endearing!)

I'm getting distracted by his eyes more and more every week. You can see that he always has one 1/2 shut, just like in the picture posted above.

What's up with that?

I don't know, Grooch. One of my eyes does the same thing, as I've noticed in photos of myself!! One is always squinty looking compared to the other! I guess it is just one of those idiosyncrasies that happens to some people.

I can see Clay entertaining the old ladies in the Catskills. But American Idol? OY!

Curtis, he has a heavenly voice, charisma, stage presence, modesty, a big heart and many more ingredients that make him the perfect candidate. Geriatric entertainment? My Aunt Blabby! (Sorry to be cranky but I think Clay embodies the heart and spirit of this competition.) GOOOOO CLAY!!!!!

I just plain like Clay. If my ears could smile, they would when they hear Clay (and Rueben too) sing.

Hermione69

Yeah, I am repeating myself here... why do people who do not care for a singer feel the need to come in that singer's FAN CLUB thread and say so?? This is a FAN CLUB, people! Show some respect! I would never do that to someone. I know it is not really my call, but I do think it is inappropriate when people do that, either here or in the Ruben thread or in any other FAN CLUB threads that pop up. MHO, FWIW.

Thanks!

i agree happyfeet..in my opinion clay has all it takes to be the next AI..these kids out here in the world need to learn to respect decent, good people like clay and not these thuggish types of role models in the music industry now, the kind that simon would rather see win this thing..and i know simon is doing his best to get rid of clay by trying to sway the public and i hope he does not succeed.

Question: Tuesday night when the judges were having there say about Clay, and Paula (I think) mentioned him not dancing, did I hear him say that was something he'd need more help with? LOL...I could have sworn I heard that but no one has mentioned it.

I can't dance. I'm not as bad as Elaine on Seinfeld, but pretty close, so Clay not dancing isn't a big deal for me.

Oh, and still loving Clay...there's just something about him.

Wargod, I know the moment you are talking about and I think Clay said, with a smile, "I'm still working on that." I think he feels very self-conscious dancing!

OMG, Elaine on Seinfeld. Worst.Dancer.Ever. LOL!

Hermione: Amen to that! Stirring up the hornet's nest, knowing flak will surely come, makes me wonder about the motive for doing so.

Walker: Well said! It's scary, thinking about it, to ponder why many people are labled as idols. Shouldn't the word have a positive meaning only? Some so called "idols," in pop culture, strip the definition of it's meaning. Sad, eh?

Wargod: Hmm, you know I don't remember that. I do remember Paula making the remark to Clay (wishing he would have danced) but then I thought Simon started talking right after. Perhaps someone has a tape and can check it out. Another great thing about Clay: He takes constructive criticism to heart, so it's likely that he did say that.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLAY!

Hermione, after I posted, I saw your answer to Wargod. So that does go to show his modesty and willingness to adapt. He's great!

Oh, why do we have to wait several days to hear him sing again? He'll do Billy Joel justice for sure!

Goooooooooooo Clay!

P.S. Hermione, I love all the pictures you posted and thanks for this thread!

Herm, thanks! One of the problems of getting the kids involved in AI is that they get talkative sometimes and I don't get to hear everything, lol.

Some people should never dance and thats definitely me! Never really liked Seinfeld, but Elaine dancing is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

If Clay just can't dance, or is too self concious, I'd rather he just stand there because it'd be too distacting from his voice, which wouldn't work at all for me.

He definitely said he needs to work on the dancing after Paula made a remark.

I think this guy has "it". My 10 year old just loves him to pieces. He's got that "best friend" kinda vibe happening. What can be better? Approachable, charming, humble, articulate, friendly and a voice that demands to be heard.

gladys knight said it best..there's something magical about clay.

the good thing about 'clay' is it can be molded into most any shape or form, it's always fun and different and colorful, and--- okay, hard to get out of the carpet! but other than that, my clay analogy works! lol

curtis, if they still have the resorts in the catskills and they do 'dirty dancing', hermione and i are going there with clay!

That's right, Tabby! Whoo!
