For you west coast Claymates....They have teased all morning about Clay coming on to Good Morning Americia on ABC stations. It will have to be in the 4th half hour...as he has not been on here as yet. Diane Sawyer is simply beaming waiting for him in NYC.

More soonest...

They did mention early in the show that Diane Sawyer had a large amount of gifts for Clay in her office....so expect surprises!!

Still waiting...yet another tease and quick shot of him laughing and looking at his watch...as he needs to get to Regis/Kelly interview!!

Be patient...I am trying to w a i t . . . . .

He sang This is the Night song from the cd..they did show the cover which is now changed to include BOTW. By the way...he was great!! He looked so casual when Diane interviewed him before he sang...then just as the song was over, she came over to him and they cut away.

This after a boring long 2 segment story on college job interviews that went on and on!!

I was surprised not to see some of us older Claymates in the crowd. Diane just said that "her life has just peaked!" LOL

I saw his performance on GMA and LOVED the song! And to be honest, I was never a huge Clay fan. But, the song was great and I hope to hear more of it!

FROGGIE...wait until you see Regis/Kelly show... WOW...

Not sure if to post here or in the Clay thread...but Clay just finished singing on R/K
show....he absolutely BELTED out BOTW...the sound they used was fastastic...even a bit of reverb!!

Hope you all taped it, Claymates!!

Before he sang, Jeff Gordon and Kelly did a short interview (much longer than GMA did!) ....he was wearing a tan suit and looked spiffy...except the hair was a little flat...but he still looks GREAT!
What can I say!!!

What I thought was funny was that Diane was so giggly and fangirly that when she rushed to greet Clay she kinda tripped and he had to catch her to steady her. She said, "You saved my life!" Hee. Too cute.

Kelly Ripa sure did change her tune. After Clay sang she didn't have enough superlatives in her vocabulary to gush at him.

Both interviews were wonderful, he sounded great, looked great and interviewed beautifully.

Nanarobin - I watched R&K as well, but to be truthful BOTW bugs me! I'm kind of getting sick of hearing it. But I will say however, that he does sing it with such power and feeling. Its just that I'm not crazy about the song...that's why I didn't comment. But "This Is The Night" is great, made me a fan!

lol Froggie. I grew up in a small, very Scandinavian community, and at almost every funeral (other than for the Catholics) this song was sung by aging sopranos with quivering voices. Lest I forget to mention the missed keys on the overbearing church organ. Clay's version is oh so refreshing for my ears. :)
