The Official Clay Aiken Discussion Thread

[Tess]

I don't know if it's just my ISP, but when I download "When the Doves Cry", it seemingly downloads fine and then hangs just after the a capella portion of the song. It dead stops and if I click play, it goes back to the beginning and doesn't progress beyond the same point. I tried the alternative download of the same song and it won't play at all--the video comes up and Clay is seated with his, I presume back-up singers, and it won't play further.

What gives? After several hours of attempting to download, I now remember why I don't do the downloads from airplaycentral. It always takes forever and then I rarely am rewarded. . .anyone have any ideas. . .I'd love to see these videos.

BTW, the TITN download went fine. Go figure. . .

Tess, try downloading the one from shine inc. It loads very fast and has a very clear picture.

 

[Tess]

That's the one I tried first that wouldn't play at all. The second was from MeasureofaFan. I'm in the middle of another download the "Kyrie"--hopefully I'll get something from it--it's been downloading for nearly 1/2 an hour!

Is it bad that the first thing I did this morning (and I do mean MORNING- I went to 7 a.m. mass. Quite a shock to the system for this college girl!! ) was to run to my computer and redhottopic to see what people had to say about the show? I almost missed class b/c I was watching concert footage.

My question is, how on EARTH did someone smuggle a video camera in?? My sister said you can see on at one point and it's pretty obvious. I'm not complaining , just curious.

You think your bad, I was up until 1:00am waiting for the reports and videos!!! The Doves cry I've watched at least 10 times and love the transition from acoustic to "rock".

Oh my! Clay Aiken singing "Open Arms" I just don't think it could get any better. I honestly felt like a 16 year old again (now if I could just look 16 )

Also, the shot of him in the short sleeved tee in TITN video is awesome!

anyone go to the atlanta show???

i heard that he took someone's cell phone and sang "the way" to whomever was on the other end of the phone! my friend is going to the DC show...second row...she's calling me on her cell...i get a cellcert! and, if i'm lucky, maybe clay will take her phone from her!!!

check out the WYSYLM video from last night's show on www.airplaycentral.com ...the sound is a little garbled, but he 's such a ham...check it out!

i made a cd of songs that i downloaded from the internet...stuff that clay did when he was on AI or before AI, etc...one of the songs is open arms...it's awesome! and my other favorite that he does is "oh girl"...it's just amazing...

I tried to look at one yesterday, but got an error message. I guess to many people were on the site.

Quick question, are watching these clips from these sites legal? I don't have the speed at home, so I'll take a peak during my lunch break. With all the internet downloading contriversy, I don't want to get my company in trouble.

Thanks,

"Quick question, are watching these clips from these sites legal?"

Good question!! All I can say is that Airplay Central has been online since AI and no one has ever had a problem. Its not like there offering commercially available CD's. And you know what? I DON'T CARE!!! I need my Clay!!!!!

Clay seems to be on TV **all the time**. He hasn't "cooled" off since the end of his AI show.

How about Rupert? I very rarely see him. Is he ever on?

They will be on ET tonight. (Don't know if anyone posted this yet.)

"How about Rupert?"

ROFLMAO!!!! You mean Ruben??? OMG that was too funny!!! ruben has been doing alot of BET,and Urban broadcasting. His tour is soon but will be a much smaller venues.

You made my day, that was sooooo funny!!

p.s. Are you a Survivor fan too??!!

He is a disaster waiting to happen.

That appeared in this week's TV Guide with respect to Ruben Studdard and his weight. Apparently he is now 300+ and larger than AI time. When he did his "Sleigh Ride" song on the Christmas special, Simon says that he couldn't get across to center stage (no more than 50 feet) without being winded and sweating. At the time of AI he wore a 5XXXL and he's bigger now. . .

He shakes his head, 'Ruben's weight is literally out of control'

says Simon.

They did give Ruben credit for having a #1 album--but I don't think it stayed at #1 beyond the first week. I could be wrong on that one because I don't follow him.

Anyway, I don't see much of Ruben on TV, but it doesn't bother me since I always preferred Clay to Ruben. I'm just more curious about the crowds at the concerts--are they equally Kelly/Clay fans or is it really onesided? Obviously, Charlotte was going to be a "Clay venue", I wonder about the rest.
