The Official Clay Aiken Discussion Thread

I don't think you have to be a member of MySpace to view a video. Anyway, I'm glad it's posted elsewhere too. I put it on the video section of my MySpace site just so I could get it up quickly - and because if I'd put it on my personal webspace it would kill my bandwidth within minutes - LOL!

I'm very, very happy that the buzz seems to be totally positive. He's gone through some rough stuff lately - undeservedly. Not everyone loves the new style - but I sure do! Now if only that new CD would come out soon...

Yes, when I clicked on your my videos it took me to a page asking me to sign-up.


I liked how he looked and he sounded great as usual.

Here's another, with a side-by-side comparison.....

He is looking very GQ to me. YUM!

 

[Savsmommy]

I am so in love with Clay and his new look. He looked incredible!

Sorry Clay fans, just zooming by to add my 2 cents' worth...


Last night really put the contestants in perspective for me. Once Clay started singing (my FAVORITE moment last night, btw), I had to admit that not one contestant in AI...absolutely NO ONE...has blown me away like Clay did. Hearing his voice last night really took me back.

He got so screwed in the second season. I think the votes weren't accurate at all and I'm still bitter about it.

DON'T be bitter Hucifer... I have to agree, there has been no other contestant like Clay... Nobody has come close to having his voice, but I must say I really liked Chris & Bo... those are two great rocker's, but Clay... well Clay was just awesome.... He's done awesome.... No reason to rehash all the old season two finale.... It's done & Clay is better off having come in second IMHO...

Ok, so I got the scoop. My sister's friend's sister (follow that one?) works for a vet in Raleigh where Clay brought Durham (his new puppy). She said that his hair is definately like that all the time now and not just for the show. I need more people living in Raleigh to Claystalk for me.

Yes, you DO need more people to Claystalk for us!!!

I'm glad to hear the Durham news is true...I had read rumors, but then the Claymates jumped all over who ever posted it originally, and the post got removed until they had "confirmation" because it was Clay's "privacy". They're so stupid.

But anyways, EEK!! How CUTE!

But the haaaaaaaaaair....ohhhhhhhhh boy, the hair!! He wasn't wearing it like that two weeks ago when he was in CT!! Figures he got lazy the day he came here. I guess that means I'm gonna have to get used to it....

Find out which vet it is and I'll go on a search for you

 

[chris1gill]

Wait a minute!! Where's his other puppy/now doggie Raleigh?? What happened to Raleigh? So he's got a new puppy? What type of puppy?

We have to get used to the hair? Double darn... I like it spikey!

Hi all;

Kim and I watched AI5 last night just to see OMC and went absolutely wild when we saw him -- Kim's squeal was the loudest ever! My first reaction was oh no -- he's going to be made fun of, but then I thought about it, and decided that he really is cool. So sure of himself, that he can come on and take part in a part of the show that was sort of a parody. I absolutely loved his singing. The reaction that Michael had when he realized that Clay was behind him was priceless. I'll just have to get used to the hair. Kim also said she didn't like the hair!

I was able to see the My Space Video without joining. I also watched it here:
http://www.gofish.com/userVideoPlayer.gfp?gfid=30-1035546

The quality is better on My Space.

Everyone was talking about this skit/performance today! Media, co-workers, even those who never watch AI.

Clay, please oh please, get your new CD out fast!! I know you want it "perfect", but it's just so hard to wait!!

What an amazining, poised, performer he's grown into...

Hi everyone;

Thought I'd let you all know that Clay blogged yesterday -- not about the new album, but that Quiana had her baby. She had a boy, named Chamberlain Malik Moore. He said mom and baby are doing well, and that he hopes he (Clay) won't spoil him too much!

I told Kim this as she was driving last night and she got so excited, she turned in front of another car without looking!! I'll have to make sure I don't do that again!! Kim is getting nervous about being "out of the loop" for the month of July while she is away at girl scout camp in Missouri. She's giving me a long list of things I have to do and send to her, so she isn't totally without Clay news!

Thats it for now!

CLAY SIGHTING!

Well, sort of. Reports are in that Clay attended Kelly Clarkson's concert in Raleigh this evening. He was spotted with Ruben and a couple of other people, and was reportedly surrounded by folks for autographs and photos.

You know what that means.....


PICTURES!!

I'll let you know as soon as they're posted somewhere. Well, as soon as I see them, which may be later rather than sooner with the holiday and all.

Looks like he still has the AI hair.

 

[Debi]

Kylene, do you mean the AI hair from May 24 (long and dark), or his 'regular' AI hair (spikey and lighter)?

 

[lsyorke]

Pic from the concert!

 

[Debi]

Wow!! Thanks for posting this, lsyorke!

 

[jennyL]

My DH works at the pavillion where the concert was last night and actually excorted Clay and Ruben to there seats. He said that clay had Beatles hair and thats what it looks like in the picture. He said it wasn't too bad getting him to the seats but when Kelly got on stage 35 minutes late there was alot of time for people to figure out who it was. LOL

 

[Fantasmic303]

Got another rumor re: the release date. Figured I'd share.

The boards are reporting that many stores have the set date as September 19th. There's nothing official yet, and we also don't have any additional info, but it seems that several places are expecting the album then. We shall see.

There's also a contest at the Official Fan Club for members to guess the title. The contest ended yesterday (I think?), and I believe they said the winner would be announced on the 15th (Saturday). That means we may have a O-FFICIAL confirmation this weekend!!

Ofcourse, if it doesn't come by Saturday night, y'all are on your own for a while. I'm leaving at the butt-crack of Sunday for WDW, but I'm sure you guys can fend for yourself until I get back on the 27th!!
