Tape was being passed out beforehand. Although the arena is pretty big, so the impact of flashers further back shouldn't be a big issue (hopefully).

The lights have finally gone off, and of course my connection is buffering. Back in time to catch the end of the taped annoucement. Big scream at the end.

Overture for Chistmastime, and more screams as the curtain comes up....

And the crowd shows the love when the man in the white suit makes his appearance....

Okay, settle down and stop hooting - we want to hear him sing! :P

Long message headers on answering machines - a pet peeve of mine. Just get to the beep already, and let me leave my message.... <_<

It's lovely weather for a Sleigh Ride together with you....

Some laughs mid-song, and a little squealing. Is it to early for jojoct's Clack yet?

Re: the ET snippet - did anyone here see it yet? Did it look like it was taped during the NYC appearance, since that's when ET did their coverage before?

Jingle Bells - Shake 'em bay-bee!

Clay really has become a master of the final note. I love the way he ends each song.

What do you know - even folding towels doesn't seem like such a chore when you can listen to a lovely rendition of The Christmas Waltz while you're working.

Glad I don't have the earbuds in for the second place lines... I'd be deaf through New Year's..... :blink::)

Silver Bells - wonder how many of Alison's current and former students are in the audience tonight?

CS...wow the audience was so quiet for that one...I think everyone seemed to be mesmerized...because at the end there was this ...AWWWW and great response from the audience...

Angela's song....

WOW CMH...was really well received...

intermission...

at the end of the last song Clay gave a little wave at his grandfather and his grandfather said Clay out loud....when he said that...and his grandfather was looking at Clay the whole time and he was waving at Clay too.

I am getting all verklempt....

when he sang when you give it half a chance Clay was looking right at our cellcerters...they are all fangirly...

are most of the crowd response were coming from the cellcerter crowd or the Raleigh people...

People went wild after CMH...and it seem they were jsut happy for Clay...just because ti was thrilling. very appropriate.
