I don't think that Clay's use of "we" is the royal we. I think it means Clay + Mary + managers + RCA + Team Clay etc. etc. etc and a way to acknowledge that he is a product of many people and that he doesn't make decisions in isolation. I'm willing to bet he doesn't refer to CLAYTON Aiken as we.

Well, that was actually GREAT except I lost the sound for the last few minutes. Shit.

Of all the sacrifices I've made for Clay and all the money I've spent and all the time I've invested, THIS is the WORST--sitting through this frigging stupid LA show and listening to these inane reporters. Jesus Christ.

Almost 93,000!!!! That's damn good! Just imageine how Josh Groban's fans are feeling. And Clay's number don't include Canada and Korea (and they love him there!)

Just for clarification, I am not one of the "we" who find OMWH boring. I think it's beautiful, and I love every note.

Do the we's of the world assume they have the last word?

Happy Mother's Day to all current and potential mothers.

Well, guess I will jump in on the favorite/least favorite discussion and hope this won't be considered sacrilage, but The Real Me is actually my least favorite on the CD. I think it has a lot to do with the background of the song and maybe if I had heard it without knowing that it was written by a woman about her struggle with bulimia, I would like it. But when I hear him singing it (and especially since he uses his falsetto, which I am not that fond of), I hear a song that I think should be sung by a woman and not a man. I know that sounds really sexist and I wish I could get past my pre-conceived notions about the song, because it is a beautiful song. I don't skip it on the CD, I listen to it and am really trying to like it, but so far I am having a hard time.

Takes a deep breath and hits reply...

OMG!! I love TRM too!! And I'm seriously insane over Clay's falsetto!!!

There's no hope for this fandom if we can't even agree over falsetto!

It's interesting how people's tastes differ--which makes it all the more unbelievable that some people seem to think that their preferences speak for the mass of fans. I see that Clazorback doesn't like It's in Everyone of Us, and I think that's so beautiful it almost makes me cry. That and OMWH and EIDN are my complete favorites! My LEAST favorite songs (at the moment as this sometimes changes) is Something about Us and Falling.

(Although "least favorite" when it comes to Clay means I have them on repeat only 20 times instead of 40).

Clay is up to #3 on Amazon.

I wish these "fans" who are trying to "help" Clay would just shut the frak up.

Clay was PERFECT on the View. PERFECT, and I don't want to hear from anyone who thinks otherwise.

His hair was perfect, his eyelashes were perfect, his smile was perfect, his pants were perfect, and OMWH was PERFECT.

Quiana and Angela were perfect too.

The whole damn thing was perfect.

Chastised?

I'd kick the shit out of some of those know-it-all bitches.

Chastise, my ass.

I love a man with balls.

I totally love the single OMWH.

Last I looked, I was a fan.

ETA: I'm giving EIDN love big time.

I think it will be good when people reach the place where they don't need to put down groups of people to make a negative point about someone.

I've probably been guilty of it myself, but careless words can be quite hurtful.

(Not counting all the times when I've been purposefully a bitch!)

It's fine to not like men in mascara.

Isn't saying that sufficient?

There's something wrong with being a transvestite?

Or having a sex change?

CRAP!

I knew I should have kept that frigging penis.

After I read the dedication on the CD, I declared today a personal national holiday and have just been wallowing in Clay all day.

I'm so frigging happy.

I love this CD.

Love it.

It doesn't matter what critics say.

It doesn't matter what radio stations play.

Sales matter. That's all.

I'm pretty happy with the interviews and reviews.

I'm feeling good about this!

We're supposed to care about reviewers who slobber all over audio-corrected monotonous songs by people who lipsynch their way to stardom???

Elvis got BAD reviews.

We know how that worked out.

Interesting discussions going on and I'm a day behind, as usual.

I don't much care who goes to see Clay as long as someone does and I don't care if it's the same people over and over and I don't care if they're old or young. TV shows are usually taped at a time when young people are at school or work, so most audiences are "mature." I don't care. I'm not jealous of anyone. I find some fans a pain in the ass. I find some NON-fans a pain in the ass.

That pretty much covers it.

Oh yes, Clay is hot. (Am I too f%$king old to notice????!!! OMG!!)

If this is Clay off his game (WTF???), then just imageine when he's on.

I LOVED his performance. It's hardly a regular concert, so he can't go bouncing around interacting with the audience. His purpose was to sing and sell. He seemed to do pretty well on both counts.

I can't believe that people watch QVC of their own volition (not counting watching for Clay).

I've never seen anything so boring in my entire life.

ACK!!! Did you just see Clay on QVC????Looking good!!!

I also found this interview. Download the MP3 - it's worth it. He's in his jammies getting his hair cut and talking on the phone.

I don't see a download link on this page - where should I look??? :F_05BL17blowkiss:

If it's not there - is it somewhere else? The vaults? Sendspace??

It's near the bottom of the article.

I'm so frigging happy that Clay's not touring this summer. I damned near died of heat stroke last year.

Give a cheer for cool weather touring!!!!!
