Hummingbird | Friday, May 09, 2003 - 04:12 pm     Is there a website where we can hear the songs they've done in this competion like there was last year. I'd like to hear "Solitaire" and "To Love Somebody" by Clay again. |
Demeter | Friday, May 09, 2003 - 05:26 pm     The claytonaiken site listed above has all of Clay's performances and the judges comments. I was listening to "Somewhere out there" a bit ago and my 22 year old came into the room and said, "He just give me goose bumps!" |
Sadiesmom | Friday, May 09, 2003 - 06:52 pm     I do believe that he could melt people with 'she was too good to me' This wasa song dropped from a old, old show, but it speaks to every woman. LOL. Sometimes after an arguement with husband (if he had been a particular jerk, not if it wasa jealousy thing, more a I want it so I win arguement) and he was sulk in another room, I would put this song on and he would puddle into tears and come out an apologize. I did limit it to gross abusive behavior, so I feel justified. I got a copy of Chet Baker singing it, but he did not havethe crystal clear voice of the mature Chad Mitchell, which sounded heavenly. At least the version is good if smokey. Chad used to sing 'who'll make me smile now' but this is an old song and Chet sings 'Who'll make me gay now'. Can't win. Sure miss old Chad, when he sang alone, not with the trio. He sounded like a more trained and controlled Clay. |
Sadiesmom | Friday, May 09, 2003 - 07:48 pm     I see I needed explorer to see those clips. They did not work in Netscape. Long interview andpretty funny, too. Could have done without the song though. |
Tabbyking | Friday, May 09, 2003 - 10:22 pm     wow! thanks for the link to all the clay songs from the beginning of AI2! my daughter and i listened to everything through 2 or 3 times--even my husband stopped in the office and said, 'whoever that is, he sure can sing'. dh gets up at 3:30 each morning and commutes 92 miles each way to work, so he has never been up to watch american idol. when we told him it was clay, he said he has heard about him at work and everyone there loves clay! yeah! |
Muse | Saturday, May 10, 2003 - 11:02 pm     Sadiesmom, I doubt that wearing jeans can be an offensive or wrong thing. Clay's often worn them on results shows, too. If the reason he's not going to wear them again is because of some people messing with photoshop, then shame on those people. |
Monkeyboy | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 12:49 pm     Go Clay! I want him to win now! |
Sadiesmom | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 02:28 pm     Muse, I guess you have not come across that photo. It is not jeans are inappropriate or wrong, it is confort zone. I just think some people get too carried away with their vcr to computer picture clips and he may have heard of this, that is all I meant. It was all in bad taste.I am blocking the whole accidental encounter with the picture out of my mind. |
Bcandscott | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 02:36 pm     OK, I can't stand it....curiousity is my biggest flaw and I admit it....either tell me where the picture is or describe it so I understand what the problem is. PLEASE!!!!! |
Wcv63 | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 03:19 pm     Bcandscott....let's just say it prompted many discussions about "dressing to the right" on some other boards. Those clips from WRAR completely catapulted me from Clay fan to Clay fangirly crush. What a wonderful, articulate, generous and talented guy! |
Tabbyking | Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 10:42 pm     that's why we are on this board. i don't care if someone dresses to the right, the left....or in the dark! you go, clay!! |
Sadiesmom | Monday, May 12, 2003 - 05:57 pm     Present for the Clay people Audio clips from the show are available in both Windows Media and Real One formats. You'll need to download one of the players if you don't already have one installed. Clay Aiken Just a cute interview. Did call LA home a few times though. Liked it when he admitted to loving those red shoes and having become a 'shoe <*****>'. A little self depretiation there |
Hermione69 | Monday, May 12, 2003 - 06:41 pm     Thank you, Sadiesmom! |
Tess | Monday, May 12, 2003 - 09:27 pm     Simon is on The Tonight Show right now and he said he thinks Clay will win. Said it with a great big smile, too. <also said when Katie asked that he would vote for Ruben> BUT he does think Clay will win. If ever Simon was right about anything I hope this is it. Btw--they are doing a take off on AI and Katie Couric is Paula, Simon is vintage Simon and Mike Meyers is Randy. They have the most awful singers on to be critiqued. Can't help laughing. |
Demeter | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 03:09 am     This kind of interview is unsettling to me. By saying he would vote for Ruben, Simon can be influencing people who have not been watching to tune in and vote for Ruben. By saying he thinks Clay will win, could mean he really does think Clay will win, or it could mean that he expects Ruben to win and by being "wrong" he brings more excitement into it. However, the most unsettling part of this is how sad it must be to be Clay in this situation. First, I imagine all the contestants want Simon's support. But, mostly, what would it be like if you are the winner and you know the person signing you is not 100 percent in your court? It certainly takes away from the win a bit. I think at this stage of the game, any of the judges that go on talk shows should be supporting all of the finalists. Promote the show and the ending, say they will be happy with whoever wins. (It's also a bit unsettling as a Clay fan to know that Ruben has put in several mediocre performances, yet he has had minimal recognition of that fact by Simon. I think he belongs in the top 3, but I don't believe he has been at all flawless.) CLay fans will still need to go all out to vote for Clay. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 05:05 am     Here's a little bit of hope for everyone: 1st - Clay has pulled a Kelly Clarkson by NEVER appearing in the bottom 2 or 3. They will most likely pull down all three of them tomorrow night as they did last year with Nikki, Kelly & Justin, and just let the bottom one go. 2nd - Clay has Kelly's spot on the Love Songs cd cover, and Ruben has Justin's... coincidence??? I think not 3rd - Clay has the most devout fans, and the ones that will vote and vote and vote (as I trust you all will do tonight since I can't vote being a Canuck and all).... |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 06:59 am     I will vote and vote and vote. I promise. Demeter, I understand where you are coming from. I remember last year when it was Kelly and Justin, I felt it was time for the judges to step aside and let America have the final say because that is what it is supposed to be about. I liked both Justin and Kelly and felt Kelly was more deserving of the win, but was still a little dismayed that even on the final night the judges tried to cut Justin down. But I guess that is the way it goes. All I can do is my part. |
Readonly | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 09:02 am     I'm back after a two-week absence to give my support to Clay. I tried to tape the shows, but the cable company played an evil trick on me. I got Josh's first song, but missed Clay singing To Love Somebody (is that the right song) that everyone raved about. Does anyone know what he's singing tonight? Who cares? I'll love it whatever it is. And for the record, I thought he was very cute singing Grease (that part taped). |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 11:17 am     I'm flexing my redial fingers and getting ready for tonight.... |
Weenerlobo | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 11:33 am     (peeking in here to see if Hermione posted in white letters, since that seems to help Our Boy Clay, well, rather, HER Boy Clay, every week!) |

Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 11:43 am     I did it twice, once for each performance. I am SUCH a geek, but I am a happy geek! |
Happyfeet | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 12:05 pm     Hi Hermi: LOL! Can you say obsessed? Breathe, girlfriend, breathe! Well all you Claymates, tonight we get treated to our boy's golden voice; so, whatever he sings, prepare to enjoy! WE LOVE YOU, CLAY!  |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 12:23 pm     Yeah - but Herm - they're doing 3 performances tonight - you better do one more just to be safe!!!! |
