10 Days until Clay will be wowing us in Waukegan! May 10, 2011- Clay announced another tour. Since his fans have such diverse tastes, he will do an all request tour. Unfortunately Ben quit, saying " No way". Details to be announced later. One million years or until hell freezes over (which ever comes first) until Clay gets his body tattooed with all the states he has toured in (do we then get to sign our names in our particular state?) September 18, 2015 -- Clay hosts a one-night only benefit singing the entire catalog of the Beatles. He has to stop on the middle of "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" when the stage is rushed with fans saying "Sure!" Happy Birthday to all celebrating! Everyone have a great day! Kim

I don't think clack of that is up yet...at least I haven't seen any. Kim

This is a must see..especially the end when gets intimate with the mic! Kim

Love it! Kim

Um this is canfly's video not Scarlett's Kim

Have not listened to "Both Sides Now" yet..waiting for it to be vaulted, but I honestly would not mind if he left Solitaire off completely...change things around...sing "Both Sides Now" and "In My Life" and then end the show with UM...I don't think Solitaire really fits with the whole "love song" theme. 13 Days until Clay will be wowing us in Waukegan!

Teasing about # of people hearing the concert with one ticket. Explains to rest of audience what cell certs are about. "And then there are people listening in covertly." Teasing about # of shows fans attend "We appreciate you if you come to one show, ten shows or all of the shows." "Journey has lasted about 7 years longer than I expected it to." "For you in the audience and you listening at home.......you're greatly appreciated. "In My Life."

Crying is So gorgeous. Clay - screwed him up last night when he did the song on the 'wrong' side of the stage. Messed up he and Quiana. Good to be back on the right side tonight. No one he'd rather sing with. Band Intros Mentions it being Adam's first time touring Ben back there on the piano with the accordian, strings, computer, dragging everyone back into the 21st century. Conductor, arranger. Arranged UM Unchained Melody Intro Unchained Melody Clay back on stage. "We're back. Hi!" Only one person admitting to attending more than 1 concert in this tour. Talking to fan who fessed up - has been to 3 Most beautiful song Clay has ever heard musically and lyrically Both Sides Now

Banter ... "Who's Sorry Now?" shtick not techno .. we don't know what that is ... Polka ... Who's Sorry Now Intro Clay "Slowest of the slow songs; so we're going to do the opposite of the earlier set where we threw current songs back into that jazz sound with your help." "Don't ask for Techno because we don't know what to do." Audience laughter. "Quiana and I will probably destroy it." More laughter Polka style Do Wop style Mombo (I know I'm spelling it wrong.)

Radio Banter: Clay: "Any listeners to Top 40 radio?" Lady Gaga, someone else, Liza Minneli (sp ???????), Bieber, Jonas Brothers. Explains difference between recording back in the day versus now. What SM would sound like 2011 style......gives demo. Clay: "It's beautiful isn't it?" laughter. Clay: "I think Lady Gaga is extremely talented. Actually, Justin Bieber has a good voice. Some who actually can sing that are on the radio right now but....

Clay asked audience who knows words of Invisible. Called on 14 year old but she 'messed up' the lyrics Now talking to another fan who knows more of the words Clay sang some of the words the way originally sung. Quiana: Cry Me A River

We're Back. Intro to Quiana: "She talks too much but she's looking real pretty." Many songs he's performed over the years that he's enjoyed singing live. Songs that have been Pop songs that he'd like to sing in this show but hard to do with this show and keep the vibe. So maybe should do what they'd sound like had they been recorded in 1952. The Way.

Opening Banter "We're doing songs from an era I have no recollections of." *g* "Kind of a romantic show so if you came with someone you love, snuggle up to them. If sitting next to a complete stranger, it's your business what you do with them." Misty

No one here yet? "grabs front row center seat" Kim

Hey, that sounds like a fun idea...I am open to suggestions. Glad you got things lined up so Mr. Fear is okay...good to hear he is in good spirits. How long does he have to wear the cast? Lady at work who is 77 is having her second knee surgery the end of April...so I will be busy at work and I will be taking another class...going to be nuts for a while..glad the tour is now and not at that time. Kim

I'm here...thanks for missing me Fear! I was just thinking I could start counting down to Waukegan...two weeks from tonight, baby! We need to start making plans! Kim

Clay was at a play in Atlanta last night: http://twitpic.com/40bcul

Sarasota UM...watch the hands...Oh my:

You better be well by March 4th, we have some partying to do! My husband had the same stuff this week..I have been totally avoiding getting too close..do not want to get sick (although honestly, that would not keep from a Clay Aiken concert)...can't wait to see how the show evolves by then. Kim
