Clack alert..hope someone in NC is going!
QUOTECarolina Theatre @CarolinaDurham Close
Just got word that Clay Aiken will be @CarolinaDurham tonight for Stuffed & Unstrung. Rumors are that you just might see him on stage!

I like Penn and I am looking forward to the song and video..I think he and Clay have a lot of respect for each other and I enjoyed watching them work together...I also don't mind Lisa all that much and find Dayana whiny and am really surprised that she is still there. It really is a game show and I just take it as that..people are going to do what they need to do to win and eliminate the competition so I don't take it all that seriously.
Link to Clay's blog..not sure how long it will be up:

Good article from the Charlotte Observer
It's about Clay's views on Amendment 1.
Will do full text later today or tonight...
Loved the article..the last line really got to me and I hope it comes true for him.

Loved the show last night..Clay was amazing doing the puppets...If I did not know it was him, I would not have realized it was him doing the voices. The man is so freaking talented!
Lisa/Dayana..totally bored with the whole thing..it has been going on for too long. You can almost set your watch by it each episode..10 minutes into the task.time for Dayana to start whining about not being used..okay..Lisa..now its your turn to yell at Dayana. Okay, that's out of the way..let's get to the rest of the show. After seeing this every week, I have very little sympathy for Dayana and just don't care if Lisa yells at her. My daughter watched the show with me last night for the first time..had no idea of the dynamics between Lisa and Dayana and actually agreed with Lisa and thought Dayana was acting like a baby.
Hoping we don't have to go through more of this drama next week.

New tweet from Clay:
CCOKC! youtube.com/watch?v=jxCWUe…I saw this posted by a friend on Facebook this morning, and I LOL'd like crazy. Watch the video, but know that the language is NOT family friendly.
Just watched..it was awesome!

Can't wait to get home tonight and re-watch the chat..hubby will be at work, so I can drool in peace, LOL!

Enjoyed the chat very much last night..Clay looked great and it was fun seeing him and Cameron interact. I lost my chat box right before the trivia questions so missed out on that..typical luck for me..it seems it was just not meant for me to have any connection with Clay..never have any luck with M&G's either and I don't see that changing.
Would love for the Gala to be in Chicago, I have always wanted to go to one, but flying is not an option for me financially and I would love to have it close enough to drive to. My impression when he was talking about entertainment for the Gala was that there might be others there besides Clay and my first thought for something special for Gala attendees would be having Dee there to sing the duet. I could see that getting people to attend if that was the only time they would sing it live.

TNT and Steadfast are my favorites of Clay's CD's.
Loved the show last night..yep time for Lou to go...I had to smile when Ivanka called out Aubrey. I liked Unanimous's commercial better..we sell the Entertainment books as a fundraiser at the library so I can relate to the coupon cutting (and I cut coupons every week before I go shopping) and I like that they showed both ways of accessing the coupons. Might have been old-fashioned but I think a lot of people beside me could relate to that.
The other commercial just did not grab me and found the woman annoying..it just would not have enticed me to check out Entertainment.com.

US Magazine April 16 issue. page 79 in the Music Section.
Nice picture! Title is
Clay Aiken
Jitters Over Apprentice
Clay Aiken returns to the classics for his latest disc of covers, Steadfast (out now). The American Idol alum, single dad and Celebrity Apprentice contestant, 33, talks with US.
Q: No more pop like "Invisible"?
Nah, I'm no longer 24. I look at Kelly Clarkson rocking out and think, I'm glad I don't do that anymore!
Q: Apprentice seems hard for you.
Five times harder than Idol! I've never done this before. Such stress.
Q: Any other fave reality shows?
Fashion Star. I know squat about style, but Jessica Simpson is brilliant! She's so funny and real.
Back to top
You can imagine the reaction of some in the fandom to Clay's answer about Invisible.

Good Morning,
Having a houseful for dinner tomorrow so lots to do today. Phone rang at 3:30 this morning and it was hubby's job asking him to come in early..so did not need that. Going to color eggs today with Austin..should be fun! Have cleaning and cooking to do...sun is shining even though it is going to be cool.
Looking forward to the show tomorrow night..hopefully all my company will be gone by the time the show starts or else they will just have to watch it with me, LOL.

Review of Steadfast on I-Tunes:
SteadfastA somewhat belated attempt to revive Clay Aiken’s 2010 standards album Tried & True, 2012’s Steadfast takes seven of that record’s 11 songs, add three new recordings – covers of pre-Beatles pop hits Neal Sedaka’s “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” and Connie Francis’ “Who’s Sorry Now,” plus the new original tune “Bring Back My Love” – and ditches the original album art for a straightforward portrait. Why go through this effort to relaunch an old album? The answer lies in Donald Trump, who cast Clay on the spring 2012 season of the Celebrity Apprentice, thereby necessitating fresh product from Aiken on the shelves. Fortunately, Tried & True was an album that deserved a second chance, as it was the record where Aiken seemed most at home; he sounded comfortable singing the melodies we all know by heart, surrounded by soft, handsomely tailored arrangements. In its Steadfast incarnation, these sessions sound no different, but the three new cuts are all good, and the overall package is more appealing than its first incarnation.
Artist Essentials - Clay Aiken
The Basics
“Singer" seems too slim a description to truly cover Clay Aiken’s larger-than-life role in American pop culture; Broadway performer, TV personality, tireless activist, all these titles and more are part of his resume, though there’s still no getting around that golden voice. American Idol fans may have been the first to find out what his titanic tones could do with the Simon & Garfunkel classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” but the rest of the world caught on quickly, making his version the best-selling single of 2003. The romantic sway of Aiken’s smash “The Way” from his debut album proved he could put original material across with just as much emotional punch. And when he lights up the old Johnny Mercer standard “Moon River” – with guitar courtesy of Vince Gill – his place in the lineage of great American pop vocalists becomes blindingly clear. Discover Clay Aiken’s multiple personalities, from power balladeer to jazzy crooner, in Next Steps.
Next Steps
One of the many traits Clay Aiken shares with the great interpreters who’ve gone before him – aside from the obvious, superhuman vocal chops – is the ability to tackle a song from almost any source and make it his own. Not only does he wear some Elvis-sized shoes on “Suspicious Minds,” but is also fits them to his own sure-footed steps. With the help of cabaret queen Linda Eder, Aiken gets every ounce of drama from Roy Orbison’s soaring pop-opera “Crying,” and when he summons up a late-night saloon-song vibe on the holiday heart-tugger “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve," you can smell the snow and the lovesick speculation in the air.
Complete Set
When a skinny 24-year-old from North Carolina belted out a shatteringly soulful version of “Always and Forever” on the 2003 American Idol audition episode, the nation didn’t yet realize it had just met the singing sensation of the decade. From then on, Clay Aiken blazed a big, bold trail that led directly to the hearts of AI viewers. Broadway theatergoers, and enough music lovers to make his debut album a double-platinum phenomenon. With a voice capable of climbing to the heavens on a passion-packed power ballad or crooning with uncommon subtlety, Aiken has delivered everything from jazz standards to 80’s pop hits, not to mention his chart-scaling original tunes. And now we’ve stacked up his most irresistible offerings in a wide-ranging menu of music delights you’ll undoubtedly be achin’ (sorry) to sample.

CELEBRITY APPRENTICE"
"PUPPET UP!"
04/15/2012 (09:00PM - 11:00PM) (Sunday) : THE CELEBRITIES GET CREATIVE WHEN THEY ARE TASKED WITH DESIGNING TWO ORIGINAL PUPPETS AND PERFORMING FOR AN ADULT AUDIENCE WITH HENSON ALTERNATIVE’S IMPROVISATIONAL TROUPE, "STUFFED AND UNSTRUNG"
This week, the teams must create their own puppets and perform in front of a live audience for Henson Alternative’s "Stuffed and Unstrung" improv show. One outspoken Celebrity struggles to be a team player. On the other team, another Celebrity fights for a role in the task, but is marginalized and has a breakdown. Both teams put their improvisational skills to the test, but only one is declared the winner and another Celebrity hears Donald Trump’s dreaded words, "You’re fired!" Boardroom advisors: Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump

I miss aikim's countdown. Maybe we should make things up again to add to the calendar?
Of course, who'd thunk that if we had come up with "Clay meets porn star Jenna Jameson and charms the pants off her (almost literally)," it would come true?
LOL! Well, I could countdown to the finale but that might be a tad depressing..we need tour dates so I can start counting down to those!

This conversation was on Twitter; Scott Evan Davis is a singer-songwriter, musical director and performer..apparently he is working at this club and invited Clay to join him. He will be working with a teacher in Manhattan in June to write a musical with 10 autistic children:
I find this conversation intriguing and confusing. I have no idea who this guy is and how he is getting Clay to appear on this show but whatever, yay!QUOTE
