    Please...we need them front and center...

    So fresh, so clean....

    Teeth? What teeth?

    BWAH!!!!!

    Ok, then.... my mind is wanderin' a bit...

    P1030262_edited-1.jpg

    Why Clay, it looks like you've got something stuck in your mouth. May I help you get that out? Hmmmm...I think my tongue would be the best tool for the job. No, it's no trouble....let me help.

    But seriously, it was like being in his living room. He was among friends, and I felt included in that assessment, even though I've never met him. He was just so comfortable. I don't even know how to describe it. I really and truly hope there is complete video because if there isn't it will be the biggest loss this fandom has ever had, IMO. Y'all just HAVE to see him in ACTION! :hubbahubba:

    THANK YOU for this wonderful recap, and this paragraph in particular. It sure sounds like he knew that everyone in the room was there to experience him....and that's awesome. I'm so happy for you that you got to experience it live. Meanwhile, I'm opening a "Jealous as hell" car for the Clay train -- I'll be your conductor.

    luckiest1 - great recap! I am jealous as can be of you!! Happy for you too. But this part has me thinking we won't get to hear him sing LAA on tour and that makes me sad. It also makes me think that the only reason we got to hear it at all was Jaymes. I think she convinced him it had to be released and it wouldn't surprise me if Clive/RCA wanted it on the regular album and Clay didn't - hence the bonus track after much arm twisting. My theory has always been that it is so intensely personal to him as it exposes a part of him he doesn't normally expose that he's uncomfortable with people hearing it - almost as if he's allowing people to read his journal. Or maybe its just he's not comfortable with his songwriting abilities. I think that may have been part of it in the beginning but at this point I don't think so.

    It makes me sad we may never hear it live.

    CG (or should I call you Gazzy???), I totally agree with this assessment, and yes, it makes me totally sad too. This combination of "personal" and "uncomfortable with songwriting abilities" is one that probably weighs a bit on him -- "I opened up to my fans, and yes, they love it -- but I'd really rather not revisit that feeling when I wrote that, thank you." Working through that, in a public way like that, has got to be hard. So, I'm guessing we need to thank Jaymes, and maybe even Clive (GASP!) for us even hearing LAA in the first place.

    That's why I'll always be greatful for A Thousand Different Ways. Whatever happened - the delay is the reason we have Lover All Alone. Clay would have procrastinated dong that until the end of time. And I do feel it is personal to him and maybe took him places he didn't feel comfortable with. But that actually surprises me because I thought Learning to Sing was deeply personal, much more so that I ever thought he'd be.

    Amen.

    Wow, I just finished listening to the clack from last night. Ansa, I'm sorry, but what are you ON?!?!? :F_05BL17blowkiss: I think "The Prayer" is fantastic, and their voices blend so well. Quiana has a great lower register, IMO, and Clay knows how to play off that with his voice. The blend is fantastic. I'm also not totally convinced that the song would work as a solo. But that's just me.

    ETA: I do think Jaymes and David are great for him. I think they can help him identify his style so if he goes off with them I think we'd get a great album - (well maybe if David more involved..I keep thinking about the 4 songs previewed and really are they great songs other than Tears Run Dry heee). Clay loves songs with great melodies. David produces and writes songs with great melodies. They're a perfect fit I think. I know many fans don't want a Groban type..but I do think that's closer to who he is, but wiht a more pop sounding vocal.

    Bingo!!!! I think there is fabulous synergy between him and the Fosters, and I think they all know it. What I don't understand is the thinking that Clay will turn out as a "rock star" because of the connection, according to some fans. After listening to that interview with David Foster a few months ago, I believe that he works with people he knows he can develop into even better singers, without compromising their beliefs in what works for them. As I said, great synergy, but I don't think there's going to be all that much swerving.

    Sounds like you gals get a Texas/OK three-fer!

    :Tour3:

    Yeah, except that I have a non-refundable ticket to Houston. I'm pretty much stuck with MY plans. What I'm hoping for though, is this -- he plays Oklahoma July 8 or 9, and I'd just have to miss that one. But then he keeps driving east and hits the midwest in some of those "missing days" -- when I can take more time off and drive rather than fly. PLEASE!?!?!?!?!??! And yes, just say no to OK being the first show Clay!!!!!!!!!! Just for me, PLEASE?!?!?!?

    cha cha, I've always loved "weatherman Clay." That was such a fun clip.

    couchie you are so smart:

    Yep... I don't mean Groban's voice at all because while I do think he is technically good he has never moved me...but just the type of song Clay could excel at. It wouldn't be a carbon copy type thing because Clay's voice is so different - so warm -- so inviting. But I would also love to hear some Clay soul..I know that is in him too...don't know where David stands on that.. we need a David discography so I can see what all he has done and who he has worked with.

    That's how I see it too.

    Finally caught up with this episode this morning....and WOW. First of all, Jenna, thank you for letting me know that there's someone out there besides me who is not all gaga over Sawyer. Having said that, he wasn't an asshole in this episode, and I've got to disagree with you in the fact that I found this episode fascinating. I was really impressed with how they reminded the viewers of the recent history of the people on the island. Old faces week at Lost, which I thought was rather interesting. I also liked the fact that almost everyone had something to do in this episode, or at least we saw almost everyone.

    And that ending freaked me out. Gulp.

    I want to see a picture before I do to bed!!!!!!!

    I go too!!!!!!!

    ETA:
    The thing is...I really think David and Clay are a great team cos he really does write beautiful melodies...He is a singers producer because he alwasy strives to showcase the instrument. But if they think Clay will be rockin with David...I don't think so...

    Ansa, the irony is, when we first found out about his association with Jaymes, people were up in arms that if Clay got involved with DF he wouldn't be a "rocker". Now they are talking up DF as if he will be the one who finally lets Clay's inner rocker out for all to see!

    Yes, it's confusing isn't it? Rocker? Not a rocker?

    How about a lounge chair instead?

    OK, I'm leaving....

    No, she's doesn't know the name of the lady.

    Everyone who won an auction got a hug and a kiss!!! Lucky beyotches!

    Bangs, full beard, dark suit, auction took off the jacket which showed his wastecoat vest.

    Lots of mugging and joking -- hugging the WT shirt.

    Mostly fans in the audience.

    Not everybody obeyed the "no video" rule, jmh thinks.

    :rainbowsmile:

    And she enjoyed meeting luckiest1 and daughter and friend, and cindilu2!

    She's now going to go home, change clothes, check the boards, and fall into bed!

    The Prayer, by David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager:

    I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go

    And help us to be wise in times when we don't know

    Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way

    Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace

    To a place where we'll be safe

    I pray we'll find your light, and hold it in our hearts

    When stars go out each night, remind us where you are

    Let this be our prayer, when shadows fill our day

    Help us find a place, guide us with your grace

    Give us faith so we'll be safe

    A world where pain and sorrow will be ended

    And every heart that's broken will be mended

    And we'll remember we are all God's children

    Reaching out to touch you

    Reaching to the sky

    We ask that life be kind, and watch us from above

    We hope each soul will find another soul to love

    Let this be our prayer, just like every child

    Who needs to find a place, guide us with your grace

    Give us faith so we'll be safe

    Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace

    Give us faith so we'll be safe

    Yep, Foster's gonna make him a rocker.
